Cat Sitting Deephaven

“Emma responded so fast to our last minute request and was able to do a meet and greet that morning with all our animals. While we’re were gone and Emma was checking in they gave fantastic updates on how our cat was doing and sent lots of pictures. Emma even stayed much longer than the visit required. Giving lots of love to our old kitty. Best last minute decision ever to go with Emma. We would trust any of our pets with Emma again.”

About: I love creatures of all kinds-whether they're stinky, silly, or sneaky, I think animals are wonderful and deserve the best life we can offer them. It's a joy for me to help your pets feel cared for. I'm currently working part-time, Mon/Wed/Fri. If you have any specific needs, I'm happy to talk more about how to provide your beloved pet with the best possible care while you're away. I'm happy to keep your creature company and see to their needs. I am a very timely, tidy and diligent person, and try to leave a place just as good as I found it (or better!).

“Kelly was a wonderful cat and house sitter! She was responsive to my communications, kept me informed about my cats’ happenings, and was a pleasure to interact with. It’s wonderful to have peace of mind when I travel and Kelly provided that!”

About: I’m a passionate (professionally trained) dog trainer with over four years of experience at one of the currently top rated and award winning doggie day cares, boarding and training facility in the metro area! My passion has taken me through professional boarding facilities and various sized playrooms, where I’ve learned the ins and outs of doggy behavior from playful pups, ones that are a little more on the spicy side, to the more reserved ones. what I truly love is helping pups thrive. I have been trained to use various tools if needed for your pup such as properly fitting a harness, a prong collar, and more. I will happily collaborate with you to create a perfect care plan including enrichment, walks, play time, brain games and structure. I have been successfully training dogs for 11 years with the past 4 being in a professional setting. I’m all about clarity, transparency and open communication. My current position at my full time job is the lead trainer and manager of a smaller group daycare for reactive pups of various degrees and pups that need structure. I’m fine with behavioral issues such as resource guarding, reactivity ect as long as it’s disclosed first. I also have a senior GSD at home so I know how to provide compassionate care for our sugar faced friends! I’m always open for questions or comments and I send LOTS of pictures! I require a meet and greet before booking any services (unless it’s a last minute drop in or dog walk) I work full time as a dog trainer but I always make time to train and work my own dogs as well as being able to care for others pets. We can discuss your ideal schedule and figure out together the perfect plan. I’m available most evenings and weekends. I have a fully fenced yard, long lines and a couple favorite parks! I will always be transparent with pet parents about expectations with their pets. What I would do with a senior pup is different than a young dog. I’m happy to provide my companionship and love for dogs who would rather snuggle and just be around people or play lots of fetch and do lots of brain games for dogs who need that. Usually it’s a mix between the two, some play, lots of love.

About: I’ve taken care of, and grew up with, many different kinds of pets. Before moving out, I spent 10 wonderful years playing with, and caring, my family dog and cat! If you’d like, I’d love to meet, care for, and befriend your pets as well! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday, but I have flexibility regarding my schedule. On weekdays, I’m more free in the afternoon but on weekends I’m free most of the day. I have a park next to where I live where I’d be able to take your pet out and play with him/her. My apartment is also pet friendly!

About: Hello! My name is Steph and I have been caring for animals my whole life. I would love to meet your pets and give you one less thing to worry about while you’re away. I have had dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, geckos, bearded dragons and a tarantula. I am experienced with animals that have special needs and sigh administering medications. I work from home most days and my schedule is flexible. I also have a list of trusted back-up pet sitters that are able to fill in if your needs don’t align perfectly with my availability. I am happy to provide drop-in or stay-in care for your animals. Your pets will be cared for just as you would. They will get the love and attention that they deserve.

“Audrey was great and helped me out on a very last-minute request for care. Milton took to her immediately at the meet and greet. I appreciate that she spent more time with him on the 2nd check-in. Would definitely book her again!”

“Chloe did a great job w our two slightly neurotic (but aren’t they all?) cats while we were away. They can be a little shy, so our priority was human contact and Chloe was very patient and engaged to get them to come out of hiding on each trip, particularly important because one cat requires a special diet/solo feeding. Always great to get “proof of life”photos, even if it’s hard to catch a kitty in motion!”

Jill A.

“Briana is truly one of a kind! It’s hard to find someone you can trust completely with your pets, but from the moment we met her, we knew our puppy was in wonderful hands. She is so kind, dependable, and genuinely caring. She treats our pup like he is her own. Knowing he is happy, loved, and well cared for while we’re away gives us such peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful for Briana and feel so lucky to have found her. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

“Perfect sitter for my girl, Ivy loved her 🤍”

“My cat was so calm when I came back from my trip. That tells me in her two 1-hour visits Alex gave him the TLC and attention he needed while I was away. She sent pictures and updates to me while she visited which was very nice. Highly recommend!”

Patrick C.

“Ashley took great care of our two cats! She was extremely communicative, dedicated time and attention to making sure they were active, and made sure they exhibited normal eating/drinking habits while we were traveling. Loved the pictures as well!”

Andrew D.

“Annalyse was wonderful. Very prompt and great communication. She was willing to work with us on very short notice. I am 100% confident my 3 cats were well cared for. Loved receiving pictures every time she stopped by! Thanks, Annalyse!”

About: Hi! My name is Izzy, and I’m a teacher with a big heart for animals. I’ve always loved being around pets, and I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for them like family. At home, I have a 9-year-old tripod dog, which has given me a lot of experience with patience, adaptability, and attentive care. Caring for a dog with unique needs has taught me how to read animal behavior closely and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a teacher, I’m responsible, dependable, and great at building trust—qualities I bring into pet sitting and dog walking. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, extra attention, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they are well cared for and happy while you’re away. I work full time 7:30-3:30 Monday to Friday with weekends free. I am off for the summer starting May 28th! Outside of work, my attention is all theirs! I provide safety and dependable care by sticking closely to your pet’s normal routine and paying attention to the little details that keep them comfortable. I make sure doors, gates, and entry points are always secure to prevent escapes, and I’m careful during walks and visits to keep your pet safe at all times. I follow feeding, medication, and care instructions exactly, and I always keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being. Whether it’s a dog needing exercise and structure or a cat who prefers a calm, familiar environment, I adjust my care to fit their needs. If anything seems off, I’ll communicate right away so you’re always in the loop. I’m reliable, organized, and consistent. You can count on me to show up on time, follow directions carefully, and treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own

“Annette is super reliable and flexible! She has been a big help with transitioning my puppy home!”

“Limor did an amazing job caring for my cat with PICA. They followed all instructions perfectly, kept me updated, and ensured his safety and happiness. Highly recommend for anyone needing a caring, attentive pet sitter.”

About: I’m a friendly, energetic dog walker with a flexible schedule to help meet your pet’s needs! I’ve owned multiple breeds and sizes of dogs and cats and am excited to give your furry friend care while you’re away! I work a flexible job with some availability throughout the work day, as well as frequent weekend availability. I’d be happy to make sure your pet is well taken care of any time you’re away! I’d love to walk your dog around my neighborhood near Cedar Lake, or come to you! You can also trust me to care for your cat or dog in your home while being the most respectful of your space.

About: Cats have been part of my life for more than 25 years. I grew up with them, and for over a decade I’ve been the go-to cat sitter for family and friends. That experience has taught me that every cat is different, and that great care means meeting each one where they are. I’ve cared for just about every kind of cat: short-haired and long-haired, tiny kittens and senior cats, high-energy explorers and shy, anxious hiders. With playful cats, I make sure they get plenty of stimulation and attention. With nervous or timid cats, I take things slow, give them space, and let them warm up on their own terms. Seniors get the gentle patience they deserve. I’m also comfortable caring for cats with special needs, including those on medication. I’ll follow your instructions and schedule carefully so your cat’s routine stays consistent while you’re away. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your kitty is doing. My goal is simple: your cat stays happy, healthy, and comfortable, and you get real peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for drop-in visits anytime from early morning to evening, including weekends and holidays. Visits can be 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your cat’s needs. I’m also happy to do more than one visit a day if needed. Establishing trust with your furry loved one is my # 1 priority. I will follow your instructions for initiating initial contact with your pet and then work to make them feel comfortable and safe while I take care of their needs.

“Cayla took great care of our cats!”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was very young! I have knowledge of young to elderly pets and pets with special needs. I like to be as open as possible so feel free to ask anything to put your mind at rest. I’m currently not working, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m home most days, with my only scheduled commitment being a Zoom class on Thursdays. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have plenty of time for feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and making sure their individual needs are met. I also have dogs of my own, so I’m already familiar with maintaining a consistent pet care routine. I would be willing to take them on walks, play with them, cuddle, and feed/provide any medication they may be on. I want you to feel confident about leaving your animals in my care. I am very flexible and willing to provide any care you normally provide for your fur baby.
