“Karina was attentive, caring and consistent while watching my cat. Mylo is the definitive ‘scaredy cat’, afraid of everyone and everything. He resisted her at first but she broke down his barriers and by the end of the week he was playing with her and letting her pet him! I’m grateful to have such a wonderful sitter for my fur children!”
“I always feel so comfortable leaving my kitties in Zoey & Madison's care when I leave town. I get the cutest updates, they're very timely, and they were even able to give my cat his medication very easily (which can be a challenge for me). Definitely recommend these ladies!”
“Denis was nothing short of phenomenal with watching my cat, Peaches. Tons of pictures and peace of mind knowing she was in good hands while I was out of town. Would recommend to others in need of a house/pet sitter and will definitely use him again.”
About: Hi! I’ve had pets my entire life from having cats to dogs to even ferrets and hamsters and turtles, I love all animals! I was given my first pet to take care of myself when I was 6 years old and even though she was just a small ferret I found the responsibility fun and fulfilling even at a young age. I lost my dog last year so being around dogs in anyway has been such a blessing and a privilege, I miss being around mine. Caring for animals gives me a purpose I work 35 hours a week but 2 times a week from home. Since I don’t start super early or end super late I find myself finding time in the mornings and evenings available as well as weekends. Since I have dealt with so many types of animals I understand that each and every fur baby has their own unique personality and it is my job to adjust and accompany to it all while fulfilling owners requests
“Beth was wonderful. She is so sweet with my little cat and figured out right away how she likes to be pet. I really appreciated her sending pics and letting me know everything was ok. She went above and beyond in her care while I was gone and she is always very punctual and responsible. I’m very glad to have found Beth!!”
“Jason agreed to check in on the cats semi-last minute - and did a great job as usual! I definitely recommend him and will be hiring him for more cat care in the future!”
“Scott took amazing care of our senior cat, Quinn, for a week. Quinn is diabetic, so Scott administered insulin twice a day. Scott fed Quinn twice a day and emptied the litter box. He even was very kind to bring in our mail each day. He stayed to keep Quinn company each time he visited and sent us a picture each time so we could see our fur baby. He was so good about keeping everything clean and in good shape. We will definitely re-book with Scott when we travel in the future! Thank you Scott!”
“Erica was an excellent sitter!!! Left awesome updates every day and made me and my husband feel like our kitties were well taken care of. Will definitely be using her again when we go out of town next time.”
“Amy is wonderful, I felt completely comfortable having her check in on my pets…cats, rabbits and fish! She is so reliable, and confidently gave my clever kitty her meds with no problems everyday. I cannot recommend Amy enough!”
“Diana was wonderful with our two playful kitties over the holidays! She was always on time, was very communicative, and had great attention to detail. Most of all, I can tell she really cares for animals. I highly recommend her and would love to have her watch our kitties anytime!”
About: Hello! If you're looking for an experienced animal handler, you've found the right person! I have worked at an animal shelter for over 10 years. I have experience with dogs, cats and small animals. I took a break from pet sitting when I started a family, but I have since moved to the suburbs and ready to start again. I am mainly free on the weekends for a drop-in visit and weeknights after 6:30. I can be flexible depending on the day. Feel free to reach out! My husband and I adopted a senior dog Teddy who we had for four wonderful years. We also had several small animals in the past including gerbils and rats. I will play, snuggle, feed, and provide love for your animals while you’re away. I also send photos and updates to keep you comforted while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs and cats since I was 13 when requested. I can walk, feed, and play with dogs or cats for 30 min to 1 hour if needed. I work in Northbrook on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. My hours are 9 am to 4 pm with an hour lunch break from 12 to 1. I’m looking for someone that needs extra help caring for a pet during these days, I’m available before work, right after work, or on my lunch break. I am very gently, loving, and cautious when caring for other people’s pets. I have no problem accommodating/adjusting my care to meet pets’ specific needs.
About: I have cared for both small and large animals for over 21 years. Your pet will be staying with a very loving, responsible, and respectful family I work from home so someone is home all day every day. I also have a fenced yard for your dog to roam and go out as needed. I provide meals according to owner's instructions and clean up as needed. Also actively partake in play and exercise for the pets which I genuinely enjoy doing.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for 35 years. I currently have a German Shepherd and a domestic short hair cat. I volunteer at the humane society socializing cats. I am retired and have time and love enough to care for your small dog or cat. I prefer to stay in the northern Virginia area if possible. I’m available for drop in visits or overnights. I amvery experienced keeping an active dog entertained. I can take small dogs for walks in your neighborhood
“Chris did a fantastic job getting my scaredy cat to come out from under the bed during her visits. She took extensive notes about the cat during our meet and greet and everything went very smoothly while I was away. She was also very patient and good humored when I managed to lock us out of my place! Highly recommend Chris!”
