Cat Sitting Forest Park

“I had a great experience with my dog sitter! She did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I would absolutely book with her again! 🐶❤️”

“Marissa took the time to meet Avery a couple days before her visit. She was responsive to messages, asked all the questions to know details about Avery and her behaviors/tendencies, and showed the perfect mix of professionalism and care. She made me feel at ease, knowing that Avery was in good hands. I will definitely request Marissa’s help again the future.”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.

“Lauren was absolutely amazing watching my dogs for three days! From the moment we connected, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved on the entire time. She followed all instructions perfectly and treated them like her own. When I returned, everything was clean, organized, and my pups were calm and content — which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your fur babies, but Lauren exceeded every expectation. I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care. Thank you, Lauren! 🐾💛”

About: Growing up, we always had pets in the house, from mice to iguanas and, of course, dogs. I have a lot of experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I work fundraising by day, so I have a bleeding heart for small and big critters alike. I have a rescue mutt who's almost 3! She is high-energy and loves nothing more than playing with other pups; she is very good at matching their style of play, whether it be tug-of-war, chase, or wrestling; she is always up for fun. So trust me when I say, I know the value of an exercised, happy, and tired dog. I would love to check in on your pup throughout the day or take them on little adventures throughout town to get those restless legs moving (theirs and mine)! I work remotely so am home to keep the pups happy and safe! I always start the morning off with a walk for my own pup, it gets us both moving and gets out excess energy so we can enjoy our day. My yard is completely fenced in and the pups are free and safe to wander and explore the yard as they much as they'd like!

“Justice is fantastic and took great care of my dog! I really appreciated the updates and her attention to detail. It made the whole experience stress-free and I would highly recommend her!”

“Wendy took great care of our cat while we were away! She went the extra mile, bringing treats, toys and catnip to make sure he was well entertained.”

“Abby is a caring and responsible sitter. She has taken the time to interact and play with our timid cat as few people are able. She is great!”

About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life and consistently for the past 11 years — small or large, puppy or senior, I love them all. My own pets thrive on routine, so your dog will get consistent walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I currently share my home with a pug and an 18-year-old cat, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels. Pug mom + cat whisperer offering a loving, low-key place to stay I work from home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches — they’ll get plenty of company, attention, and bathroom/play breaks built right into my day. Pet care isn’t an interruption to my routine, it’s part of it. Your dog will get long walks through my beautiful neighborhood, plus supervised outdoor time tethered out front alongside my pug (my yard is unfenced, so all outdoor time is supervised). I’m happy to crate your pet if you provide one, and I’ll keep them on whatever feeding and routine schedule they’re used to at home.

“Jacob was great with my cat Jasper! He kept the litter box and floor clean and sent great pics!”

Maddie D.

“Samantha was great with the cats. They let her pet them the first time she met them. She was very understanding of the complex situation I was in to have someone watch my daughter's cats.”

Gregory S.

“Alma was great! We were first timers of Rover and Alma made it super easy-set up a meet & greet to get to know our dog beforehand and discussed his care needs. She took great care of our Chewy while we were away by giving us updates and pictures every drop in visit. We have an older Pom with senior dog needs and I can’t say enough great things about Alma. We will absolutely use her and Rover again!”

“Marin was awesome. She communicated well and took great care of our dog.”

About: Having lived with, and cared for dogs for much of my life, you can expect that your pet will receive my full attention and devotion during the time that we work together—not just their basic health, safety and food/outdoor needs, but also the affection that keeps them feeling loved. I currently work from home-where we have a large backyard with endless fascinating smells—and I rarely leave client dogs unattended. My own Boston Terrier, Hutson, currently 8 years old, is a well socialized, solid companion who is very good with canine communication, and will give space to dogs who need and request it, or play with those who share his play style (I monitor very closely). He’s especially good with puppies. I am also very comfortable maintaining obedience protocols when needed, but also flexible and realistic about dogs' behavior. I have some experience with dogs' health needs. I have helped care for my mother's cocker spaniel, whose serious autoimmune condition has required the administration of daily oral medication, including immune system blockers and steroids. I've also cared for a four month-old Boston Terrier puppy who when we first met needed medication administered twice daily. Outside my interest in animals, I've run a summer program for high school students, and have significant and transferable experience handling emergency situations and working under pressure. I currently work from home, and I rarely leave client dogs unattended. We have a large backyard full of interesting smells and occasional visits from other animal friends, from squirrels to rabbits and opossums. I also love longer walks through nearby forest preserved if dogs are well suited to this. Having lived with, and cared for dogs for much of my life, you can expect that your pet will receive my full attention and devotion during the time that we work together—not just their basic health, safety and food/outdoor needs, but also the affection that keeps them feeling loved. I'm an advocate of positive training techniques, and try to provide mental stimulation. My own Boston Terrier, Hutson, currently six years old, is a well socialized, solid companion who is very good with canine communication, and will give space to dogs who need and request it, or play with those who share his play style (I monitor very closely).

“We needed a couple of drop-ins for our boys who can be quite a handful. Jamie was fantastic! From the meet and greet through the drop ins, she was courteous, professional, and so good with our pups. They seemed very happy to have her around and we're so glad we found her!”

“I always ask Sofia for help because I know she will take the time to make sure my cat has some company for a bit, while I’m gone. She is always considerate about my cat’s shyness.”

James H.

“I had a previous bad experience with another sitter on Rover so I was a bit nervous leaving my cat with another sitter. Liliia, however, took such good care of my cat, Floyd. She would communicate any questions she had regarding him and was responsive with my messages. She arrived on time for his visits (I booked 2 visits a day for 7 days). She also communicated to me when my cat wasn’t being compliant with his asthma inhaler, which I appreciated. I would definitely rebook with her again if needed. I would recommend her if you’re looking for someone that’s going to take good care of your pets.”

Alicia E.

“Julie took wonderful care of our senior Basset Hound. He came with a slew of medicine, a dash of anxiety and a pinch of stubbornness and she didn’t bat an eye. While we were away, she was very communicative and absolutely put us at ease (this was our first time leaving him home alone and using rover). She’s an animal lover to her core and it showed through and through! TY Julie!”

Ashley C.

“Ellen took care of my cat Essie for a few days over Christmas and she made sure Essie’s food and water was topped off, brushed Essie, and played with her. Thanks for taking care of my girl over the Holiday!”

About: I am able to care for a variety of furry friends, ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I do have some personal (not professional) experience in training that follows respect, obedience, and basic commands! Keeping your pup active, in a safe environment and always loved are my top priorities ☺️ I also offer pet taxi services - if your fur baby happens to have an upcoming vet service or even grooming service, I will happily provide transportation! These options will count as a scheduled ‘Drop in’ visit if you’re interested! 😊 Im currently a med school student but am in the process of transitioning from clerkships to elective year so with some extra free time, I am able to tend to your pets needs throughout most times of the day. My schedule does vary depending on the specialty / clinic I’ll be in, but the details can be sorted out with the needs you and your pets require! I have 3 dogs myself, 2 of them currently reside with my parents up north due to me being here for medical school while my fiance and I travel with our sweet newly adopted girl. My pups love to run around and get as much play time as possible so I’m used to the high energy pups!
