Cat Sitting Cudahy

About: No kids or pets of my own and a big Jeep means my outdoorsy lifestyle is open and flexible for your fur babies. I'm experienced with dogs from all walks of life. You name it, I'm down for it. I have confident experience with reactive dogs and big breeds especially. I'm a part time barista, working mostly evenings, so morning and mid-day walks work best for me. I am available for night walks after work as well, if that works for your schedule. Weekend boarding is best with advance notice, as I occasionally pick up Friday and Saturday shifts at the coffee shop. I live on the second floor with access to a fenced in backyard. Hardwood floors in home. No kids or other pets of my own. I do have houseplants if your dog is sensitive to soils, fungus, or has a history of plant eating. Crating is an option I'm comfortable with if that's what helps your furry friend feel safe, though my ideal set up is to share my whole space and enriching lifestyle with your pup, or to visit them in their home where they're already comfortable. I'm mobile with the Jeep as well, so we don't have to stick to my neighborhood if your dog is reactive and needs some extra space.

“Angela was great with communication and keeping me up to date with everything! This was my first time using Rover and I was very pleased overall!”

“Courtney is fantastic! Trustworthy, great communication and clearly committed to making sure your pet doesn’t miss out on love and attention while you’re away ❤️.”

Kendra S.

“Bella has stayed with Elba several times, she always comes home happy and well taken care of. She also comes home very tired as she goes on many walks and hangs out at the dog park! Elba is very flexible with her schedule and always sends updates to let me know how Bella is doing. I would highly recommend Elba!”

Michelle H.

“My dog adores Blythe ever since his first stay with her! She is super flexible and gives lots of updates. She’s my new first choice of dog sitter!”

Annika C.

“Lynette is a great sitter. We have had her take care of our dogs twice now and both times she spent lots of time with the dogs. She also takes great pictures! I would absolutely recommend Lynette.”

Lauren E.

“I actually needed an unconventional dog related service for my wedding (taking my dog home after the ceremony) and Cory was more than accommodating! He was great with Lola, patient to wait when we were delayed and did everything I asked for. Definitely would hire again if needed.”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life — in 28 years, there have only been 7 days I've lived without one! I grew up in a home with five dogs, including four Bernese Mountain Dogs and a Sheltie. My family also responsibly bred Berners and Shelties, and I grew up around training, proper care, and learning to understand each dog's individual personality. Today, my own dog is still a huge part of my life. I also prepare homemade food for my dog and have learned a lot through that experience about paying attention to ingredients, sensitivities, age, energy levels, and individual needs. If your dog has a unique routine, dietary preferences, or special considerations, I'm happy to listen and follow the routine you've established for them. I'm comfortable with dogs of different ages, personalities, routines, and needs, and I believe patience and consistency go a long way. Most importantly, I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I treat every dog like they're part of the family — with plenty of attention, patience, playtime, and care while you're away. 🐾 Pets are already a big part of my everyday life. I have always had dogs and currently have three cats of my own, so feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and keeping up with their routines are naturally part of my day. I’m also intentional about making time for the pets I care for. I’d rather give a pet my full attention than simply “check a box” and leave. I’m happy to work around their normal routine and give them the consistency they’re used to while their family is away. 🐾 I start by learning your pet’s normal routine — feeding times, walks, medications, favorite activities, boundaries, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. Then I stick to those instructions as closely as possible. I believe good pet care is about paying attention to the little things. I watch for changes in appetite, energy, behavior, bathroom habits, or anything else that seems unusual, and I’ll communicate with you if I notice something worth knowing about. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable, not like their routine has suddenly been turned upside down. Whether they want a long walk and lots of playtime or prefer to curl up somewhere quiet, I’ll meet them where they are. 🐶🐱

“Our kitties love Teri. Ike has to have his thyroid medicine every twelve hours. Teri has been our kitty sitter for about five years now. We miss our kitties terribly, but just knowing Teri is caring for them eases my mind. They know her now, and her gentle way with them is easy to see when we get our daily photo updates. Even Tina accepts her, which is a little miracle in itself!”

Ike R.

“Dev was great with my kitties, even my spicy one! Both of my girls need meds and Dev was able to do all the meds, no problem and had great communication! :)”

Sierra F.

“Elizabeth was very patient with our dog Cookie. She took excellent care of her while we were gone and sent text updates and photos. We will certainly ask Elizabeth to care for our dog in the future!”

Michele M.

“Diana was very nice and took great care of Belly!”

Lydia R.

“Stephanie was flexible and understanding when we had short notice schedule adjustments. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again in the future.”

Randy D.

“Elaine did a wonderful job caring for our pets. Our cat has a lot of extra needs and she was very patient with him. She even spent extra time snuggling with him while we were away. We came home to a clean house and well-cared for animals. We'd definitely recommend!”

About: Animals of all shapes and sizes make me so incredibly happy! I LOVE dogs and cats so much and truly have a soft spot for both, as a person who grew up with dogs and now is a proud cat mom to 2 crimebags! I will treat your pet as my own and give them all the love and play time! I have helped raise puppies growing up so I have that experience along with basic training! It would be an honor to help watch over your precious fur child for you, and I can't wait to make more furry friends!

“Berenice was consistent and kept my cats from guessing at what time they will eat and get some cuddles. I appreciate this because they do not like change. She communicated via Rover only which was a bit hard because of where we were so next time I will insist on getting texts instead if possible. She was also very responsive when I asked her to do something.”

Vanessa N.

“Taylor was great to work with. He was punctual and took time to love on my baby and make sure she was doing good. They played with her favorite toys and cuddled a bit. I knew that my kitty was in great hands with Taylor and I trust him like family with my babies.”

TAYLOR P.

“Tanya has been awesome from the get go, becoming Gary’s best friend in a matter of seconds. Our little fur ball was wonderfully taken care of during our leave.”

Chloé L.

“Hannah was looking after our new cat and he is shy and not used to being alone. She spent an hour with him each evening—him hiding, her talking to him. It took 4 days until he was brave enough to come out. I am so grateful for her patience and care. Highly recommend!”
