Cat Sitting Glendale Heights

“Excellent pet sitter. I really appreciate that Ashley takes such care with them and by now really knows their personalities and quirks. She is very reliable and caring.”

“Absolutely without a doubt one of the best cat sitters we have EVER had. Amberley and her husband Matt went above and beyond to slowly introduce my cats to their new surroundings - to the point where they were sleeping with the cats in a separate room to ensure their comfort and care. They went above and beyond a normal “sitter” service. I would 100% recommend them without hesitation. Communication, pictures, etc. were all consistent, prompt and reassuring. Thank you Amberley and Matt!?”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Cat Sitter – Punctual, Responsible, and Caring I cannot recommend Mariela enough! She is incredibly punctual, responsible, and attentive to my cat, Simba. From the moment I hired her, she was highly responsive and kept me updated, which made my vacation completely stress-free. Not only did she take excellent care of Simba—who absolutely adores her and thrives under her care—but she also went above and beyond by taking out trash. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail truly set her apart. Thanks to her, I could enjoy my trip knowing Simba was in the best hands. In fact, I’m already looking forward to my next vacation because I know she’ll take care of everything perfectly! If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy cat sitter, look no further. Simba and I are so grateful for her outstanding service, and we’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“Susan was our first ever Rover sitter, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our Ted cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes, so it's comforting to know he's in good hands when we are gone.”

“Maria did a good job of watching Elliot. She was affectionate and very detailed oriented.”

“I am so grateful that Kristen was able to care for my cat Sylvester last minute. She took great care of him and he looked very happy and comfortable with her in the pictures. Kirsten has great communication and I felt comfortable and safe having her in my home. I recommend her and would book with her again!”

About: I currently have a cat of my own -Ozzy- and have cared for him for the past three years, giving me a lot of experience with feeding, keeping routines, playtime, litter box care, and paying attention to changes in behavior or mood. I previously worked at a pet store where I helped care for shelter cats up for adoption. This gave me the opportunity to work with cats with different personalities and comfort levels and taught me the importance of patience and letting each animal come to you at their own pace. In anddition, I’ve also cared for my neighbors' pets over the years, including cats, dogs, birds and rabbits while they were away. I grew up with dogs and have experience walking and caring for them, as well as growing up with hamsters and birds. While I'm not comfortable handling birds directly, I'm happy to help with basic care such as feeding and cage cleaning. Working late? I’ve got you! I work a full time office job, so my most reliable weekday availability is early mornings for check-in visits and after 4 pm for dog walks and check-ins. Rain or snow? No problem! I’m happy to get outside for your dog’s walk as long as conditions are safe for both me and your pup! I’m also available Saturday/Sunday mornings and afternoons, with evenings varying from week to week. Feel free to reach out even if your schedule doesn’t perfectly match my usual availability as I’m happy to see if we can make it work. For weekday mornings or earlier afternoon visits, I may be able to accommodate requests with a few days notice depending on the location. I’m especially flexible around the Downers Grove area. My goal is to find a schedule that works for both of us and, most importantly, keeps your pet happy and well cared for. I know how important our pets are to us, and I want you to feel confident that yours is in caring, dependable hands while you're away. I'm a calm and attentive caregiver who takes the time to learn each pet's individual personality, routine, and needs. For check-in visits, I can provide fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and oral medication (pills only—no injections). I’ll also send you a photo and update during each visit so you know how your pet is doing. I’m mindful that I’m also a guest in your home. I clean up after myself, keep your pet’s food, toys, and supplies where they belong, and leave things as I found them. I believe clear communication is an important part of building trust, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully and let you know if I notice anything unusual with your pet. At this time, I offer check-in visits and dog walking rather than boarding.

About: I am a high-energy individual who loves all types of dogs! Rover is my first "official" platform, but I have been pet-sitting and caring for dogs since I was young. As I got older, I gained more responsibility and more training with the family dog. I have had a lot of experience with adopted dogs, young and old, and promise to provide the best care while you are away. My parent's current dog that I care for often also has given me experience with regular medication/monitoring health concerns while also providing superior care. If your dog loves to play outside, go for a run, soak in the sun and play tug of war (but also sneak a nap in too), I am your pet-sitter! I am currently a fitness coach that works non-normal hours, so I can spend time with your furry baby during the day! I can also stay long hours overnight if needed to keep your pet relaxed while you are away. Depending on the day, your pet could be alone for 4-8 hours a day with me. I will care for the pet's health concerns (including medication), make sure they have ample time outside (weather dependent) for potty time and exercise, and will care for their physical health if requested (ie brush coat or give bath). I will ask about how they interact with other dogs, people, animals so I can protect your pet and keep them safe.

“Jedidiah took good care of my cats while I was away, handling a few curveballs. I felt better knowing someone was watching out for them while I was away. Thanks, Jedidiah!”

“Great job, Claudia, and what a thorough report! You paid great attention to my rambling directions, seemed to know just what to expect and kept an eye out for all I suggested to watch for.”

Jane M.

“Renee was great! Loved that she took the time beforehand to do a meet n greet. She even did an extra meet n greet because we booked so far in advance and it had been awhile. Attentive, kind, and her passion for animals is clear! Thank you 😊”

“Hannah was wonderful with my cat Genevieve and just does really well reading cat cues to make sure Genevieve was comfortable with her. It made me feel really confident with leaving Genevieve in her care!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. My journey in animal care started in 1993 when I began volunteering at a local shelter as a middle schooler. Since then, I’ve cared for pets through every life stage, from bottle-feeding kittens and puppies to providing senior care. In 2024, I began fostering with Adopt Me! Bluegrass Pet Rescue (who I've adopted 3 dogs from) and volunteering with WAGS, a Louisville therapy animal group, where I was a trained aide to handlers as they help bring comfort and smiles to the community through pet therapy. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, topical medications, and subcutaneous medications and fluids, and I have hands-on experience with pets needing extra medical support. Two of my own resident pets are receiving medication on a regular basis in partnership with their veterinary team. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, structured walks, or special care, I treat every animal as if they were my own with patience, reliability, and love. I currently work from home, so your pet will always have company and attention through the day. Someone will be home with the pets at all times, making sure they get plenty of care, playtime, and snuggles. Your pet will feel right at home here. I have a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe playtime and plenty of comfy dog beds for lounging. Crates can be made available as well. My two friendly resident dogs love having new friends to play with, and they help keep visiting pups entertained and happy. I also share my home with two cats who have their own separated space, so everyone can feel comfortable. Whether your pet prefers running around the yard, snuggling up inside, or just relaxing, I make sure they have the care, space, and attention they need to feel safe and loved.

“My 3 dogs loved her. She was very prompt in replying to my inquiries. Prompt in scheduling. I will be using her services again! Two thumbs up. ”

About: I've been a full time veterinary assistant for 5 years now. I've loved animals since I was a child. I pet sit friends and family pets. I am able to take care of your pet before and after work. I can stop by my apartment on my lunch break and take care of your pet, if needed. I do not work on weekends. My apartment has a dog park, but I do like going on long walks. Play time is essential. Giving treats as a reward for training.

“Alexis did a wonderful job with drop-in visits for our two cats. One of our cats requires medication, and he is spicy and temperamental, but she was able to successfully pill him. She also gave detailed updates and pictures for both cats. Highly recommended, would definitely rebook!”

About: I am a college student looking to help out! I started working with dogs at a very young age. I helped my aunt out taking care of foster dogs and dog sitting. I also worked at a dog bored and play daycare facility. I have dealt with every breed of dog. I have dealt with dogs being the most shy and nervous, to some of the most “aggressive” dogs. I also am very good with puppies, and senior dogs. Dogs have helped me, so I want to help them! I want to help you with your dogs. Leaving your fur baby is hard and stressful, but I hope that I can help ease the stress just a little by assuring u they are in good hands with me! I have 2 dogs of my own and I have been taking care of them since they were puppies. I unfortunately don’t have a fenced in yard but because I don’t it allows me more walks and to be able to take them to the park to play. And I can do the same for your fur baby.

“Thank you again for coming over last minute to take care of Heidi. We know she was so excited to see you again! 🥰 Thank you for taking care of our girl!”

About: **For the house sitting part of the profile I cannot sleepover at the clients house due to health reasons but I can take the dog(s) out for breaks at anytime.** We have a rescue dog, who was untrained and very high anxiety when we rescued him. Now, he is a fun loving, good listening boy! I probably baby him too much, so if you are looking for someone to be uber strict, that's probably not us. We just want to give love when you're not able to. I am in school part time and I am only looking to take care of a few dogs, so I can work the schedules that they need. I have two dogs that I feed, bathe and train. I like to play with them and I can tell when she's about to get the "zoomies'" , so I play extra hard with her then. Of course I like to snuggle and pet any puppy!

About: We lost our cocker spaniel of 13 years about 2 years ago so I love to take care of dogs now that we don’t have a dog to pamper. We care for one dog at a time unless two dogs are siblings or good friends then that’s OK. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park nearby or just snuggle on the couch and chill with them. I realize how important your baby is to you and will give them love, companionship and special care. We love having a dog around. I’m retired and an empty nester so I am flexible and around all the time. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park and Glenbard West HS just down my street. We also like to sit on the front porch in the shade (gated) and watch the world go by. It’s a dead end street; so it’s very relaxed & chill. We are a few blocks from Main Street and town. We love hanging out in the back yard or the porch with our dog guests and take frequent walks.
