Cat Sitting Cicero

“Jeanette was great! She happily booked on short notice for two separate weekends and took wonderful care of my cat. She was thorough, reliable, and provided peace of mind for me while I was away.”

About: I have always had dogs and currently have bunnies too. I volunteer one morning a week at the animal shelter when I'm physically able. I have trained six of my own. Also enjoy creating enrichment and providing interaction for those who benefit from it. Happy to give your pets company for a short while. I am available to do drop-ins for up to an hour or two in the mornings or early afternoons including a potty break. Depending on the dog and the day, longer walks may be available. Dependent on demeanor, I can provide company outside or inside with as much attention requested, a short walk, or play session. Automatically thresholds will be respected for exposure to triggers. On-leash will include practicing loose-leash walking, lots of sniffing, and some impulse control. Play will include the toys and/or treats provided at the pups home.

“This is the second time we’ve had Jordan watch our cats when we are out of town and Jordan did an incredible job again, was very attentive and sent great pictures each visit. We will definitely look for Jordan’s availability first next time we are out of town!”

About: I've lived with animals all my life, and have looked after my family's pets occasionally. I am an all around animal lover, I'm professional and dependable, and I'm great at following directions. I have some trips planned for the coming future, so a few stretches of time will be unavailable. I will be very transparent and communicative with prospective clients about my schedule. Feel free to ask me for details! I will be respectful and conscientious when inside all clients' homes, and will do everything in my ability to keep your pet comfortable in their own routines and habits.

“Bridgette kept my cat company for four days and did a great job. Simba is normally very aloof and leery of strangers but even when Bridgette came over to meet us before my trip he was quite comfortable with her. During the stay, from the photos and notes Bridgette sent me, I could see that he warmed up to Bridgette immediately. A huge bonus was that Bridgette watered a few of my house plants and left my house exactly as I’d left it. The next time I travel I hope Bridgette will be available!”

About: My 32 years' experience with pet care began at the early age of six, when my family and I took our Rottweiler puppy, Baron to weekly training classes for behavior, communication, personal and home protection. He was my best friend and amazing babysitter to my 2yo. sister (Read: 'Good Dog Carl'). And ever since then I've owned 4 dogs and a kitty before pursuing an education in the vet field. I bring several years of professional veterinary experience to pet care, including work as a Veterinary Assistant in a specialty oncology practice. I’m Fear Free Certified and comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including seniors and animals with medical needs or medication routines. My veterinary background taught me how to recognize changes in behavior, appetite, comfort, and overall well-being, while staying calm and attentive when a pet needs extra support. Just as importantly, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. My goal is to provide dependable, patient, and compassionate care that helps your pet feel safe and gives you confidence while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, and I currently have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I tailor each day around the individual pet’s normal routine, including meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, companionship, and rest. I also make a point of observing behavior, appetite, energy level, and comfort so I can notice if anything seems out of the ordinary. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of consistent attention throughout the day. I tailor each visit or stay around the pet’s normal routine, including meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, companionship, and rest. For overnight stays, I’m happy to follow the household schedule as closely as possible so your pet’s day feels familiar and predictable. Whether we’re out for a walk, playing with a favorite toy, or just relaxing together, my goal is to make sure your pet gets the attention, activity, and companionship they’re accustomed to while you’re away. I believe the safest and least stressful care starts with respecting each pet’s normal routine, personality, and environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established feeding, walking, medication, potty, sleeping, and household routines as closely as possible. My veterinary background has made me very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, energy level, and comfort. I’m Fear Free Certified and comfortable working patiently with pets who may be anxious, shy, senior, or need a little extra time to feel comfortable with someone new. For walks and outings, I prioritize secure leashing, safe handling, awareness of surroundings, and avoiding unnecessary risks or interactions. During overnight stays and pet-sitting visits, I also pay close attention to doors, gates, medications, food restrictions, and any household instructions provided by the owner. If an unexpected medical situation were to occur, I’m comfortable staying calm, assessing the situation, contacting the owner and veterinary provider, and safely handling and transporting a pet for emergency care if necessary. Above all, I want owners to feel confident that their pet, home, and established routine will be treated with care and respect.

“Wonderful!”

“Chantelle was so kind and attentive. She was attentive to my cat, Chiari, provided updates, and played with her. I’m so grateful for her help and care. Definitely would recommend booking with her!”

About: What Sets Me Apart I provide more than just pet sitting—I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I also trained my own dog, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and clear communication. I treat every pet in my care like my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am currently in school. And would love to take care of your pets in the afternoons. I can check in on them and give them afternoon walks, treats and pee breaks, whatever you and your pet may need! How I Care for Pets in Your Home I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, potty breaks, and any special needs. I give pets plenty of attention and affection while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I also keep their space clean and tidy and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Grew up surrounded by cats, dogs, and other animals. Passionate about caring for pets, with years of hands-on experience raising and nurturing them, I would love to come and help you out! I'm currently working on earning my GED while also looking for a part-time job to build experience and stay productive. Outside of my studies, I take care of three cats, They're a big part of my daily routine—I spend time feeding them, cleaning up after them, and making sure they get enough play and attention. Caring for them has helped me become more responsible, patient, and good at managing my time. I’m ready to take those skills into a part-time role and learn even more along the way. When caring for a dog and cat in a client’s home, follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter or waste, offer attention, and ensure a safe, clean environment daily. As well as daily walks and any special instructions from clients!

About: I'm an actor who brings passion to everything I do. I want to run or play fetch or scratch the bellies of any and all the beautiful pups out there! Dogs have been apart of my life since I was 7, when we took in a stray basset hound named Scarlett. She was a kindred old soul. Because I travel a lot for work, I'm unable to have my own, but this is the next best thing! I've watched Chihuahuas and Golden Retrievers, old dogs barely able to leave the house and little pups who never wanted to stay inside. I've found that Black Labs are great to run lines with and Huskies actually love the sun! Whatever the needs, whatever the occasion, I am ready and game! I am a working freelance actor and writer for stage, film, and TV so my schedule is quite varied depending on what project I am working on at any given time. This does allow for a lot of flexibility in my routine. I have a deep passion for animal care and I can ensure that your pets will be as loved as possible while you are away.
