Cat Sitting in Dearborn Park

“Our cat is very quirky and particular. But Kellie took great notes and followed through with all of his weird needs. She provided fantastic care.”

“We just go back from an overnight trip, during which Lara house & cat sat for our new kitten, Simon--the first time since we brought him home that we've been gone all night and left him with someone else. It went wonderfully. He was very happy to see us, but also relaxed and just like himself--no stress at all. Lara was great--she communicated with us promptly about setting up the date and while she was here. She sent pictures of Simon that made us smile and laugh. And when I asked her for a how Simon did overnight and how behaved (he is getting much better about not playing too rough, but I wanted to know how he was with someone other than us) and how he did overnight, she gave me the direct, honest reply I wanted. We will definitely use Lara again.”

“Deborah was super friendly to me and my two cats. She agreed to FaceTime me before I booked so I can see how comfortable I was with her and to see her home. We discussed moving plants so the cats wouldn’t get sick and she was very patient and kind as I gave feeding directions and so on. She was also very patient, as my cats are quite energetic. I recommend Deborah for boarding!”

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my house, and have nearly a decade of pet care experience! I currently have 2 dogs of my own, and have plenty of experience walking both of them at the same time! I can definitely walk your doggie with care, love, and professionalism! I take care of pets everyday. I walk both of my dogs twice a day, for at least 20 minutes each time. I also host 1 hour training sessions for my younger dog every day. My home is my pets home! They are allowed on all furniture (sheets can always be washed 😁). My home also has a large backyard that is securely fenced which the dogs run around in!

“Mariana was great. She went above and beyond by doing extra cleaning and vacuuming. Looking forward to booking her again!”

“Vanessa was very patient and understanding with our shy tabby. She is very experienced and great at communicating. We will definitely book again! Thanks Vanessa!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since middle school, and my love for animals has only grown over the years.

I am willing to tend to your loved one(s) before work, during my lunch break and after work! I am available weekends as well. Willing to be flexible depending on your schedule and your pet’s needs! When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I stick to their regular routines—walks, meals, playtime, and potty breaks—to help them feel at ease. I have experience with multiple pets and can manage different personalities and needs. I’m also comfortable administering medications, including pills and special feeding. I’m available for overnight stays and will treat your home with care and respect, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can travel worry-free.

“I trust Ulysses with my fur babies. I can tell they’ve been loved while I’m away. The pictures and videos he sends while caring for my kitties show how much they like him. He even takes my trash can out on garbage day.”

About: I've cared for dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, frogs, parakeets, hamsters, fish and turtles. I volunteered with Guide Dogs for the Blind as a puppy raiser and learned a lot about positive dog training from that experience. I can administer meds (pills, inhaled steroids, subcutaneous fluids) and carry out routine grooming tasks. I have had 4 dogs and 5 cats over my adult years but currently have no pets. I am recently retired and walk about 3-5 miles/day. Miss walking with a dog. I love cats and miss having one around. I am retired and walk 3-5 miles a day so I can easily fit pet care into my weekly routine and I miss walking with a dog. I am very responsible and will follow your instructions and treat your pets (and home if house sitting) with the same care as I would my own. I live on a quiet street in a safe neighborhood and have a fenced yard. I have a cool head in a crisis. I work with one client at a time. If you have two pets, that is ok with me.

About: Over the years, I’ve been so blessed to share my life with two incredible dogs. They weren’t just pets—they were my family. I was with them every step of the way, through their happiest moments and their final days. Losing them was heartbreaking, but their unconditional love left a mark on my soul that I carry with me every day. Not long after, life brought me another little soul to care for—a neighbor’s sick cat who needed a home. We faced some of the toughest times together during his illness, but against all odds, he pulled through and became my brave little hero. He’s taught me that love, patience, and a little extra care can work wonders. These experiences have shaped who I am. Pets have this incredible way of teaching us unconditional love, and they ask for so little in return. That’s why I’m here. Recently, I stepped away from my career to take a break, reflect, and focus on what brings me joy. Joining Rover felt like the perfect way to meet more furry friends and their wonderful humans. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy cat, or a senior pet in need of extra care, I’m here to provide the same love and devotion I’ve given to my own. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and make them feel right at home—even when you’re not there. I’m currently enjoying a gap year, which gives me plenty of free time and flexibility to dedicate to taking care of your pets with full attention and care. I provide reliable drop-in visits to feed, care for, and check on your pets in the comfort of their own home. I ensure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away, and I always follow your specific care instructions to the letter.

About: Animal care is not a second job or a "gig" for me, it is my entire focus. When I am with your beloved friend I will be "with" them and engaged. As a Pisces, I experience animals as filled with a divine spirit much like people are, and they deserve my undivided attention. I have trained dogs, cats, and horses and have been privileged to care for many senior pets over the years. I can give pills, shots, and sub-Q fluids. I make special foods and treats. I have a delicious venison jerky your dog might like, and working on a salmon one for the cats! For walks and drop-ins I am very flexible time wise. Early morning to early evening, all good. For sitting, I CANNOT currently accept overnights. I can visit your pets several times a day, from early morning to late at night. But cannot "sleep over" with them as I have my own dogs that need my attention at night. In a client's home I carefully follow the directions and preferences of the owner. I take notes and make sure to get things right. I and am always respectful of their privacy. And of course I send pictures and videos! In my own home, I have a doubly fenced property. A fence around the terrace keeps dogs in, and a fence around the 2-acre property keeps totally contained. With cats they would never go outside, at my home.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, and I’ve always loved the feeling of having a furry best friend to hang out and play with. Pets have a special way of bringing joy, and I love being around them. When I’m caring for your pet, I treat them like they’re my own — with lots of love, attention, and care. Whether it’s making sure they feel safe and comfortable or giving them some extra snuggles, I’m all about keeping them happy while you’re away. I have experience with all kinds of pets, from playful puppies who need structure and fun, to sweet senior dogs who need a little more patience and TLC. I’m totally comfortable with giving medication, sticking to feeding routines, and making sure they get the right amount of exercise. I also respect your space and always aim to leave your home clean and tidy, so you come back to a happy pet and a neat home. And of course, I’ll keep you updated with plenty of messages and cute photos so you never feel too far away from your pet! I am currently working part time, so I have part of the mornings and afternoons free. I love morning and evening walks. And cuddling with them in bed at night! I care for pets by following their usual routines to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or the client’s, I provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and regular walks. I also make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean space, and any needed medications—always treating them like part of the family.

“Evan was great! He took great care of our 3 fur babies. I felt totally at ease and knew that I could trust him to be there for my dogs when they needed to be cared for. He has been easy to communicate with and reliable!”
