Cat Sitting Franklinville

About: I've had pets all through late childhood and into adulthood. I currently live in an apartment that makes owning pets difficult, but I love nothing more than to snuggle up on the couch with a fluffy friend and a book. I've been able to get my "puppy fix" by petsitting for friends and family. I'm the one they call when they'll be out of town or working late to take care of their fluffy family member. I'm looking for more dogs and cats to add to my life long friend list. I currently work full time, 1 evening a week. I don't have any pets of my own to take care of, so I'm pretty flexible when it comes to taking care of others' pets. I love taking dogs for walks or hikes. I'm available to come and visit a pet to give companionship, meals, potty breaks, etc. I have experience with puppies as well as senior pets.

“Kyla did a great job with my three dogs. She was right on time and provided great communication about the visit including pics and a video.”

About: Providing exceptional care for your beloved companions is my top priority. With many years of experience, I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment. I hold a college degree. My approach centers on consistent routines, strict adherence to dietary needs, and active play for high-energy breeds. I remain vigilant for any signs of distress and prioritize safety by keeping emergency contacts readily available. I handle unexpected situations with calm professionalism and clear communication. Whether I am walking your dog or visiting your cat, I find true joy in witnessing their unique personalities. I am responsible, kind, and empathetic in every interaction. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and providing you with complete peace of mind. I make time for all fur babies and their family. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to plan visits around your pet’s needs. I prioritize dependable care, playtime, walks, feeding, and cuddles. I can care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable, or welcome them into my home when appropriate. I follow their routines, provide love, playtime, feeding, walks, and plenty of attention!

“Jessica saved me by being able to look in on our boys on a really short notice. Thank you Jessica! Communication was great and she let us know each time when she was on her way to check in on the dogs. Shortly after that she sent us pictures of them each time. It was a comfort knowing that Jessica was taking such good care of them while we were away. I will definitely use Jessica again in the future.”

“Miranda was fantastic. She stopped to meet Zelda before the scheduled walks. She kept me updated and everything went perfectly. Zelda feels comfortable with her already and they get along great. Highly recommended!”

About: I've had pets all my life (cats, dogs, fish, even a frog!) and did animal rescue for several years in Arizona- helping at adoption events, home visits, fostering kitties, a mama cat with 5 babies, & about a dozen dogs/puppies. I moved back to IL and am raising my 2 children and working from home. We have even rented baby chicks to help a local farm, so my kids understand pet care too. I truly understand how hard it is to find good, comforting help with pets and been there myself. I love all animals and currently have a senior female dog at home. I have proven to be a reliable helper to friends, family, neighbors, and even strangers. I've been able to save loose dogs and reunite them because of my calm demeanor with animals. I always love to give a hand to others and understand pets are family. I currently work remotely from home and have some flexibility during the day after 8AM while working and often done with work by 4PM, some days earlier. I have some kid activities on weekends, but generally home and my dog here is very laid back, sweet, and tolerates the young pups even and still loves to outrun them even lol. I have availability most on weekends for walks, but can try to arrange things time to time. I can squeeze in let outs when not in meetings with clients. I would let you know if time doesn't permit before accepting. My yard is fenced in completely and my senior dog is very nice and will help keep them feeling comfortable. I have extra crates if needed, depending upon the service needed. I am happy to drive a reasonable distance to help with yours. If overnight at your home, please note I'd need my kids to come with me when they are out of elementary school, but they are very respectful and well behaved animal lovers too. I understand pets are family and safety is important to me too.

“Carla was great house sitting and taking care of Clementine while we took a weekend getaway. Will defintely rebook again”

“Erika is the best! She’s easy to communicate with and goes above and beyond. I feel more at ease leaving my fur children knowing she is taking care of them!”

“Emily was kind enough to agree to visit our cats and feed them on somewhat short notice. She was very thorough and detail oriented in her management of the wet food feedings and checking of our litter robot and automatic kibble feeder. She was wonderful with our cats and they love that she was treating them with their favorite Churu treats. She also communicated promptly and clearly about everything before during and after. Her notes and photos of her visits while we were away were assuring. We highly recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for cat care.”

“Haylee had her first drop in with Champagne last night and was so sweet. Before this, she was kind enough to come by twice to meet Champagne so they could get to know each other. She has vet tech experience and was very knowledgeable about our breed and how to keep her engaged and happy. We have already booked another drop in and an overnight weekend!”

About: I've had a love/passion for dogs since I was born into this life. Growing up, I've always had a dog in the house, so it easily became the norm for me. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds, including doberman, pitbulls, great dane, labs, boxers, beagles, and mutts. I truly love them all. I'm open to taking care of all breeds. I don't discriminate! One thing I will note is that I specialize in high energy/working dogs and am very familiar with larger breeds. Just to give you a quick example, I raised a Doberman from a puppy which led to me learning A LOT throughout the process. Doberman are a working breed and require plenty of mental and physical stimulation & I think I cracked the code! I’ve developed a deep understanding of what high-energy dogs need to thrive. I'm good at stimulating their minds, keeping them active and most importantly, happy. I'm not a certified dog trainer, but I do understand the importance of balancing their physical and mental well-being, and I'm dedicated to ensuring each dog has a great time with me! I'm very engaging and mindful, so whatever your dog may need, whether it's staying active outside or relaxing at home, I will do my best to provide. That's a promise. When it comes to availability, I am free at the moment. You can contact me any time and I will get back to you asap. I will make sure you feel comfortable with leaving your pets with me. To ensure you of this, I will send you daily photos & videos to show you how good of a time they're having! Also, you can give me a call ANYTIME. I know what it's like to drop my dogs off at a pet sitter's house, so my job is to give you the relief of knowing that your pets are in great hands. I can guarantee you this🙂

“Very happy with her service. She was punctual and sent pictures every time she visited. She gave our diabetic kitty his insulin, which was why we needed her.”

About: Growing up I had a dog and cat so already have experience plus I have dog sat for numerous of my parents friends and have always gotten good feedback from them. I am currently taking a semester off from college to work and save money I work at a daycare part time and am looking for extra ways to make money! I cannot do it at my home due to staying with family but being at your home the pets already know the environment and won’t need to learn anything and will be comfortable in a place they know.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, dogs, cats, ferrets, rats, bearded dragons and ball pythons. I have a lot of experience and can easily take care of your pet or pets. I currently work full time in Burr Ridge from 8 AM to 4 PM. I’m available after work and on the weekends to care for your fur babies. I can easily adjust to your pet or pets schedule. I can take them for walks or hangout with them in a fenced yard. I can stick to your feeding schedule and I can also give medicine if needed.

About: I help young pets build confidence and good habits through calm, structured training — from creating predictable routines and gentle boundaries to crate comfort, potty consistency, and supervised socialization with all reinforced with positive, steady guidance that makes learning feel safe and fun for every puppy. I work fully remote, so my days are wonderfully flexible and full of time to give your pup attention, play, and comfort. I love having dogs around while I work — it makes the day brighter — and I’m able to adjust my routine to fit whatever your pet needs. Whether it’s weekday walks, daytime care, or weekend boarding, I’m available and happy to help. Your dog becomes part of my daily rhythm, and I make sure they feel seen, loved, and never rushed. I create a warm, safe, and happy environment where pets can relax and feel at home. Because I’m always around during the day, I can give your dog consistent supervision, gentle structure, and plenty of affection. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines steady, and make sure every pup feels secure. My home is calm, clean, and full of kindness — a place where your dog can settle in, enjoy their time, and be treated like family
