Top rated Highland Park cat sitters
“My cat is not very nice to anybody but me sadly but Zoe didn’t let that bother her. She did a wonderful job despite the challenges and we will use again without hesitation!”
“Amy is wonderful, I felt completely comfortable having her check in on my pets…cats, rabbits and fish! She is so reliable, and confidently gave my clever kitty her meds with no problems everyday. I cannot recommend Amy enough!”
“This is the second time I had Jenny come for my kitties and she was amazing. Of course she sent lots of adorable photos of my kitties to me while I was out of the country. But the best part is that both my kitties respond to her so well. I’ve got one who always hides when people come over, but not with Jenny! Plus she does all the things I ask of her with respect to the cats’ care. I will use her again on my next trip!”
“Crystal treated Jelly as if he were her own. She used every minute of her time for Jelly's well-being. Always on time, and highly communicative with detailed updates with photos. Thank you, Crystal”
“Chris is fantastic! Our shy kitty, Ralph, really warmed up to her and we so appreciated her status checks and photos! We felt so safe leaving our two cats in her hands while we were out of town. Chris took notes during our meet and greet and was super thorough. 10/10!”
“Tara instantly accepted my booking request and was really easy to communicate with leading up to the booking. She gave great reports and photos while doing the drop ins. Thanks Tara!”
About: I offer a warm, calm, loving environment. I only board one or two dogs at a time. This allows for personalized attention for your pet. Currently, I have one small dogs and two cats. I allow my pets and yours on my couch and bed. I have space to crate if that is what your dog needs or wants. I’m three blocks to the beach so if your pup likes to walk at the beach we have that available. We spend a lot of time outside if the weather permits. I can give meds and insulin shots if needed. I’m a pet owner myself so we plug in your pet’s needs into our daily routine. Meal times, potty time, can be accommodated and worked around. I treat your pup just like one of my own. I’m always careful to get their collars/harness on correctly. Play is supervised and highly encouraged.
“Beth was exceptional with our cats. She kept in close communication while we were gone and gave regular updates. It was evident that the cats were comfortable with Beth; when we got home they showed no signs of stress or misbehavior. I would wholeheartedly recommend Beth to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”
“Paige eased our anxieties during our first trip away from our kittens. She spent a lot of time with them during her visits. Would highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“Sydney was fantastic with Nut and Scooby. It was great to have someone come in and check on the little fur babies so that they didn't have to be boarded at the vet for so long. Looking forward to traveling again as I'll request her services in a heartbeat!”
“Our fur baby is very shy. Erin was great with communicating and even tried some different things to get him out from under the bed. We really appreciated her help!”
“Dennis & Nikki were AMAZING! I had a last-minute situation come up and they were so flexible and patient with me adjusting my dates. They took excellent care of my little ones, sending detailed notes and cute photos. My sassy little cat even warmed up to them enough to get her picture taken (very rare, such an honor lol). I felt so much better with my cats in their care and would definitely work with them again.”
“Kayla took great care of our Ollie-again! We are very happy repeat clients. Kayla’s communication and kindness are wonderful. She sent pictures and timely messages throughout, and even made special accommodations on our behalf. 5 stars!”
“Lauren is fantastic! You can tell she really loves animals; she sent me a meow conversation between her and my cat ❤️ It was adorable and the cats weren’t starved for attention when we got home, even though they’re usually pretty needy, which means they got lots of pets. I wish we could use her for petsitting all the time!”
About: I do not have any pets of my own currently; however, I grew up with several dogs throughout my entire life. I also worked at a veterinary hospital throughout high school where I was responsible for walking, feeding, and bathing dogs and assisting vets and technicians with a variety of treatments for dogs, cats, and horses. I have experience with all sized dogs but especially love big dogs and animals. Looking to start house and pet sitting again to get some animal love while it is not feasible for me to get an animal of my own and make a little extra income as a recent graduate. I currently work full time during the week but work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays. My schedule can be somewhat flexible depending otherwise I am available some weeknights and weekends for house and pet sitting. I can meet all of your animal's needs from the comfort of your own home. I strive to keep animals happy and in a somewhat normal routine while their owners are away. I am also a very clean and respectful person and will bring that to any client's home. I also love the outdoors, walking, running, etc. and would love to bring a dog with me on exercise adventures if okay with owner.
“First time we’ve used a house sitter to care for our pets. Michelle was wonderful. She came to meet us before our scheduled dates, and we felt lucky to be working with such a wonderful young woman. She asked all the right questions. She was prompt and sent us regular photos of our kitties and our home.”
“Davide was phenomenal!!! The peace of mind that we had on this trip because of the care that Davide was providing to our dog. Our dog needs extra help up the stairs (he’s a big boy over 100 plus pounds), his insulin 2x a day along with pills and eye drops morning evening and night. Davide did everything to perfection. Our dog Simba was happy and in great shape once we returned. Prompt responses and updates from Davide really helped. Thank you Davide we will be reaching out to you more and more!”
About: I have experience cat and dog sitting since I was 13 years old. I am familiar with feeding, taking dogs out, and cleaning cat litter. I have two kittens and a dog myself! When I have an animal-sitting job, I visit the owners house once a day (unless requested otherwise) in my free time. Sometimes that is in the mornings before school if need-be, other times that is in the afternoon/evening. I can be flexible with my schedule to accommodate a pet owner’s needs. When caring for owner’s pets, I first ensure that my access to their house is safe and secure. Whether I have a key that I keep close care of, or a garage code that I am the only one that knows, I ensure that access to their house is limited to me only. I ensure the safety of the pets inside the home by regularly checking up on them, feeding and cleaning their bathroom areas, and keeping in touch with the owner on the pet’s health.
“Grace did a great job with our senior pup and cat on recent drop in visits and walks. She was responsive, professional, and timely - and most importantly, the animals were really sorry to see her go!!”
About: I grew up on a farm, taking care of animals from a very young age. We have our own dogs and have had years of experience, from birth to the end. I'm a Nurse and it is my passion to care for animals and people. I am Active Duty, so I work M-F during the day. I would be able to provide any needs in the evenings and on the weekends. I would ensure to provide your fur baby with love and companionship. I will be attentive to the specific needs your pet, to include, walks, playing, cuddles, etc.

18. Carly L.
“Carly has been our cat sitter for over six years. She is fabulous! She is a sweet, caring, and responsible person. What ever task we give her, she rises to the occasion. When we started employing her, she was a young girl in our neighborhood. Since then, she has blossomed into a wonderful young woman. When we moved to another town, she was willing to drive to our new location. She always makes time to fit us in her busy high school schedule. Isabella, our cat, looks forward to her visits. In addition to feeding Isabella and cleaning the litter, she takes in our mail, waters plants, and checks that things are in order in our house when we go on vacation. She is not shy about texting us with any questions. You will not regret hiring Carly!”
