Cat Sitting in Glenview

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, mostly chihuahuas and rescues, so I’m very comfortable with pups who need a little extra patience, reassurance, or understanding. My hands-on experience goes far beyond casual pet care. At Miami University, I was part of Paws for a Cause, where we helped train dogs to prepare them for working with children or future companion roles. This gave me a strong foundation in obedience training, reading body language, and supporting dogs with different temperaments. More recently, I’ve been volunteering with the Evanston Animal Shelter, working with dogs who have a wide range of behaviors and needs. There, I’ve assisted with medication administration, training sessions, enrichment, and helping nervous or high-energy dogs feel more comfortable and confident. I’m also on a path toward becoming a Physician Assistant, which adds to my calm, attentive, and health-focused approach. I’m comfortable managing routines, monitoring for changes, and making sure each dog feels safe and cared for. Overall, I bring a mix of lifelong experience, formal training exposure, shelter work, and genuine love for dogs of all personalities. Your pet will be treated with patience, structure, and plenty of affection. I work full-time as a medical scribe during the day (9–5), so evenings, weekends, and holidays are when I’m most available for pet care. During those times, I’m fully focused on your pet’s needs—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. My schedule outside of work is very flexible, so I can reliably fit in consistent visits or longer stays. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, crate routines, and any training cues you use. I take time to get to know your pet’s personality, comfort level, and boundaries so they feel safe and relaxed. I provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and calm companionship, and I always keep water fresh, watch for behavior changes, and send regular updates so you feel connected. If I’m hosting in my home (or doing extended stays), I make sure pets have a quiet, clean space to settle in, regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and a consistent routine. Safety is a top priority, doors secured, no access to anything unsafe, and lots of supervised time. Whether I’m in your home or mine, your pet gets patient, reliable care with the goal of making them feel comfortable, understood, and well-loved.

“Donna was wonderful! She texted pictures and updates every time she was here. Henry really liked her, and he was well taken care of. It gave me peace of mind knowing that he was happy. I would hire Donna again any time.”

“Katherine is fantastic!! She is super compassionate, attentive, and punctual. She took great care of our two cats while we were away for a few days. Our diabetic cat needs three medications daily, including an oral pill and an insulin injection, and Katherine handled them like a pro. Great communication from the time we reached out to her. Highly highly recommend!”

“Absolutely recommend Rebeca! You can tell she really cares about dogs and loves what she does. My dog Snoopy has anxiety & is very shy at first but he felt at ease with her as soon as he met her during the meet and greet. She was so gentle, patient & sweet with him right away. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. I will def be booking with her again!”

“Meggan is amazing! She takes such great care of our cat Salty! When we come home Salty is happy and you can tell she was well taken care of. I know when we travel I never have to worry because she does such a great job!!”

Jenna S.

“Leah was great! It was wonderful to have someone who overthought feeding my boys and making sure they got their medicines. One of my boys is super shy and she took the time to find his hiding spots to check on him and even sat near by to lure him out. My other guy got lots of attention as well. Leah also went beyond cat sitting to water the plants, bring in the mail and brought in the trash cans from the curb.”

Katie R.

“Ella is fantastic! Do not hesitate to use her. She is reliable, consistent and very trustworthy with medication. Not to mention she is fun and energetic if you have playful doggies!”

Jennifer B.

“Andrew was wonderful. My two standard Poodles liked him right off the bat. He was communicative, punctual and always happy with a smile on his face even when it rained.”

Tanya H.

“Nicholas was the best! His care for my feisty cat was amazing. I especially appreciated his updates and good communication about the particulars, and he also attended to details. He went above and beyond and all respects.”

About: I give a lot of attention to dogs and can walk them on extra long walks if needed. For puppies, if they need to play with other dogs, I have my own senior dog (shihtzu-terrier mix) they can play with. I’m currently working part-time on nights so I can walk and feed your dogs as needed. I’m very flexible with your schedule and can be available when needed. I can offer the dog lots of attention, TLC, extra long walks, feeding, and/or any medicine needed to take orally. I also have a car and can pick up/drop off the dog when needed.

“Emily was amazing at taking cate of my cat while I was gone!! She provided regular updates and made my cat feel So comfortable. I definitely recommend Emily”

About: You are working late for the peak season or you may need to travel for several days. You are worrying about your furry friend at home who has been indoor and alone all day long. Worrying about if they eat or drink or pooped yet. Worrying about if they run out of home or not. This is something I'd worry about my cats and dogs when I'm out for work. Every day I would spend some time with my pets to play, train, and talk with them. The more I communicate with pets, the more they'd understand me, including my orders and requests. I'd do the same with your dog as well! Talk with your dog, understand he/she's feeling. This would really help to build a relationship with your pet! If they like jogging or fetching, we can definitely do more on that! Keep every dog in a healthy shape, lose weight and gain more muscle. Or if they prefer to get some belly rubs or do some training, that would be my pleasure to serve as well~ I will bring a water bottle with filtered water (if your dog only drinks with the bottle he/she familiar with, it would be great if you would share it with me during the walk) After each exercise, I will make sure to keep your dog hydrated, and give some treats for awards. I will also take some videos and photos for you to see how he/she is doing! Tell me more about your dog, let me know what he/she likes/don't likes to do. Let me know him/her ahead of time would help me to do my job.

“Tamara kept me updated during each of her visits. I will definitely be using her again!”

About: Ever since I was a child, I have had a passion for dogs and animals of all sorts. Growing up in the Philippines, my relatives found it strange to have such compassion for animals. I'd always begged my parents for a dog while doing avid research and volunteering at pet-related jobs to prepare myself if my dream was to come true. When I was 17, my parents finally agreed to get a dog-- but not just any dog. I wanted my dream dog: an Alaskan Malamute. Huge, stubborn, and a daily shedder, it was a huge challenge I took on myself. However, this Malamute was well trained, house-broken, and friendly. I believe I can take care of a dog of any size, temperament, or history. I am a graduate from the University of Illinois in Chicago with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology/Sociology. I volunteered at the Chicago Canine Rescue downtown where we play and walk with shelter dogs. I have copious experience with boarding, walking, and overall loving dogs. As a past dog boarder, I understand the care and attention that must be given to a pup to create a trusting bond with them. For more pictures of our past clients and to get a better idea how I interact with your pup, check out this instagram: powerpuffdogs May have to step out a few times a day, or if I have an outing I would make sure your pup has had plenty of exercise and pets before leaving. I adhere as closely as possible to the pet’s existing schedule— routine is key! Other than that, if you are comfortable with it, I can take your dog on forest walks, dog parks (only if you’d like, and with ample supervision), or on play dates with my own well-socialized dogs!

“Rosy was an absolute amazing sitter. Her notes were so well written and detailed and our cat absolutely was well taken care of and loved with Rosy. I would absolutely be using Rosy again and if you are looking for a someone to take care of your best furry friend, I would trust her 100%.”

“Amy did a great job checking on our two cats while we were out of town. She was very attentive to the cats needs and we could tell they got lots of affection and play time during Amy’s visits. We highly recommend and plan to book with Amy in the future.”

“Paige is FANTASTIC! My dogs loved her the minute they met her. She took great care of them and communicates well. I had no worries at all going away and leaving my 2 Danes in her care! She’s definitely added to the top of our pet sitter list!”

Jahmila S.

“We booked Viviana for multiple drop in visits for our two cats and were very impressed. She was responsive and met with us beforehand to ask detailed questions about our cats’ needs. During each visit she sent multiple photos and made sure everything was taken care of. It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommended!”
