Cat Sitting Evanston

“Catherine did a great job caring for my boys! One needs meds and can be a little spicy to handle, but she made sure she got what he needed. Would hire again :)”

About: Angela and Steve have had several decades of taking care of pets, and they currently have two dogs and two cats. Angela has previously worked for Bark Place in Rogers Park, as well as taking care of friends' and family's pets. We're predominantly available on weekends, but can be at your place by 6 pm on weekdays. We're flexible and will work with you to ensure we meet your needs. We will treat your pets and home as if they were our own and ensure we don't miss any details. We will not treat our visits as just a job, but as a way to ensure your pet feels comfortable while you are away.

“Tina was an excellent cat sitter for my two kitties! She sent thorough updates & both my cats were quick to befriend her (even the shy one!). I will definitely rebook & highly recommend!”

“Thomas did an incredible job watching my mischievous kittens. He took their shenanigans in stride like a pro while I was out of town. I could rest assured that they were fed entertained and cared for. I would definitely consider Thomas in the future.”

“A wonderful repeat visit with Luna! She takes such good care of Buttons when we're away and always shares many adorable photos and gives thorough updates after each visit. Luna is so responsive and attentive to our cat's needs, and Buttons is very clearly well-loved and looked after while Luna also takes good care of our home space when she's there. Much appreciated!!”

“Wow! Hayley blew us away with her detailed visits and tons of pictures. Every pet parent knows, it’s the small details that help you feel safe knowing they’re taken care of. My husband and I looked forward to Hayley’s visit summaries each morning, giddy to ooo and aaaw at all of the pictures she sent of our babies. I know they were well loved while we were away. 10/10 experience for our first time using Rover!!”

About: From zoos to animal shelters to animal hospitals, I’ve worked with all animals and I just can’t get enough with them! Whatever your pets needs, basic and specials, they will be in good hands with my excellent service, attention to detail, and reliability. I split time between the Evanston/Wilmette area and Des Plaines so let me know what you need and I’ll let you know if it’s feasible depending on the service! I work full time at an animal hospital. I rotate Saturdays and Mondays, working a morning shift one day and the other off. T-FR full 8 hour days. I have had plenty of success in petsitting with this schedule. If the gig is close enough to work, I can do a midday visit. If the gig is farther from work, then I will not do a midday visit. Keep this in mind when booking if your dogs need three walks a day. I stay overnight no problem! With dog walking or pet checkins, I will do them whenever fits with my schedule! Evenings and weekends are pretty much open. I make sure to keep a very clean space so that pets can’t get into anything, and I leave your home looking as though no one was even there. I always double check doors and fences and gates. I do like to brainstorm pet-safe enrichment for them too (comes from my zoo background). I keep their food and water bowls clean, and for dogs we do a lot of walks. 3-4 a day. If allowed, I like to take dogs for field trips like to forest preserves and dog beaches for extra exercise and a change of scenery. For nervous cats, I let them come to me. Normally with time they get a little more comfortable but I won’t force it. I send lots of video and photo updates to pet owners.

About: I have experience doing in-home dog sitting, including administering supplements and medication (mixed in with food/pill pockets), feeding specialty diets, and playing with them. I recently moved to Chicago and am currently looking for employment. I love (and have always loved) animals, I have experience caring for and playing with them, and I would like to be able to meet many more! I am available for sitting 7 days a week, primarily between the hours of 12:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.; this does vary depending on the day of the week, however, and I am also willing to negotiate times outside of these hours. I will listen to what you tell me about your pet, and respond to your pet's reaction(s) to me accordingly. I will give them attention and pets and scritches if that is what is wanted; I will be unobtrusive and give them all the space they need, if that is what is wanted. I fall in love with every dog and every cat that I meet, and I would be honored to be able to care for your furbaby. Regarding your home, I will respect your space and the rules that you set. I will remove my shoes if that is what is asked of me; I will clean up after your pet and myself (i.e., throwing away/recycling any food cans, etc.); I will only enter the rooms that you permit me to, and I will not look at, let alone touch, anything other than what is required for me to care for your pet.

About: Lifelong dog owner and experienced cat caregiver. Proud dog mom to my rescue, Poncho. I’ll provide loving, dependable care, updates, and plenty of attention every visit. My schedule is currently more flexible than usual since my recent work contract ended, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and can often accommodate last-minute requests. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love being able to provide dependable, attentive care for pets while giving their owners peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine always come first. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special requests. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Although my senior dog passed away in January and I don’t currently have pets at home, I’ve volunteered with a local cat shelter for the past four years. That experience has strengthened my skills caring for animals with different personalities, needs, and comfort levels. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or senior, I’ll provide patient, loving, and reliable care.

About: I have 3 years of hands-on experience working as a doggy daycare attendant at Citizen Canine, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels in a fast-paced environment. I’m very comfortable reading dog behavior, managing groups, and making sure every pup stays safe, happy, and engaged. I also had my own dog, Roxie, who lived to be 14 years old—so I understand both the playful puppy stage and the extra patience and care that senior dogs need. That personal experience really shapes how I show up for every pet I care for. Right now, I regularly provide overnight dog sitting for my clients, and that makes up the bulk of my work. I’d love to add more dog walking clients and build long-term relationships with pet owners who need consistent, reliable help. I also have plenty of experience with cats—whether it’s drop-in visits, feeding routines, or giving them space and attention on their terms. What you can expect from me: • Clear communication and quick responses • Photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing • On-time, dependable care • Attention to your pet’s unique personality and needs I treat every pet like they’re my own and aim to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for you. I currently work part-time managing a fitness studio, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. My schedule works especially well for midday walks, which I genuinely enjoy because it’s a great way to break up the workday and spend time outside with a dog. I’m typically available for walks on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, with Sunday availability after 1 PM. I can also accommodate morning walks before work, evening walks after work, and overnight pet sitting. Since my work hours are usually around 12 PM–5 PM, I’m often available during the times many pet owners need extra help most. I love building consistent relationships with both pets and their owners, whether it’s regular walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I primarily provide care in my clients’ homes through overnight stays, drop-in visits, and walks. I find that pets are usually most comfortable staying in their familiar environment and routine, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. For overnight stays, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and consistency with their normal schedule. During drop-in visits and walks, I always provide updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing. Because I have a roommate, I typically do not board pets in my own home. However, I’m very experienced caring for dogs and cats in clients’ homes and making sure both the pets and the space are treated with respect and care.

About: Used to have my own dog (also cats when I was younger). Now I love to play with and take care of the pets of my friends, family and neighbors! Excited to care for your animal :) Currently on break for the summer so I have a lot of flexibility when I am in town to go for walks, hang out or extended stay care. I will be respectful of your space and make sure your animal feels comfortable in their environment. Let me know what your pet needs and I will do my best to accommodate.

About: I have had cats since 2019, and catsitted for friends before that. I have administered medication for my old cat (pills in treats, liquid meds), so can do either if needed. I love to go on walks myself, so am happy to tag along with a dog! Can provide house-sitting and dog-walking services as needed. I am a full-time student in the second year of a 2-year program, with summers off. I will have lots of time throughout the day, and evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My cat is in my 2 bedroom apartment with all he needs. I have a rotating selection of toys and scratching posts for his amusement, and enjoy a good cuddle when he jumps on my lap or when he's sitting near me. Whatever toys and routine your dog or cat likes, and whatever activities they prefer, let me know! I want to make sure your pet doesn't feel your absence too hard, just like I hope any pet sitter would do for my cat.

“Sky took wonderful care while boarding my cat, Tucker. They were very good with communication before and during the visit, and sent me updates and photos throughout. I felt super comfortable even though Tucker is not too used to other animals, Sky was very reassuring that he would be able to have his own space if necessary. They are definitely someone I would trust with my pet again.”

About: I have experience caring for a variety of animals through my work at zoos. I personally own a Siberian Husky and a cat, both of whom are 10 years old and in excellent health. I also have previous experience dog sitting for family and friends. Working at a zoo has given me an understanding of the importance of animal nutrition, exercise, and mental stimulation through enrichment. I am between positions at the moment, so I have plenty of free time to play with your pets, whether that means walking them or simply being there for them. I care deeply about my pets, and I understand you do, too. I always triple check doors when leaving to make sure your fur baby is safe. I am also comfortable with crating any dogs or feeding any shy kitties.

“Sara took absolutely fantastic care of our girls. She was prompt, prepared, communicative, and friendly. We have added her as a preferred sitter and you will be relieved knowing your pets are in her care!”

“Hannah was great with my cat, dropping in mornings and evening and took the time to play with her after feeding her. I really appreciated it!”

“Josephine was so great with my cat, and made me feel so much more comfortable about leaving her during the holidays. I would highly recommend her--she went above and beyond!”
