“Cristina took amazing care of our rabbit for the weekend while we were away. She sent multiple pictures during each check in and was very communicative. We knew our boy was in good hands. Will definitely call you for the future, thank you!!”
“Michael was amazing with our cat pepper! He came for a meet and greet before our trip, and sent us detailed updates every visit including multiple pictures. It was clear that our cat (who doesn’t love people) loved Michael! We will definitely be using him again for our next trip!”
“I was so worried about leaving my girls for the first time to go on vacation for 4 days but Laura made our worries go away. She visited them 9 and 5 every day, checked their food, water levels and played with them. She was patient with my cautious/shy 10 month old, Mila and so caring to my friendly 4 year old, Mocha. She replied to my concerns right away and alleviated my Cat Mom guilt. She also took such beautiful photos so we never wondered how our girls were doing. If you are worried about leaving your pets like I was, just hire Laura and you will not regret it! I will definitely hire her again and again.. thank you Laura!”
“Eleanor went completely above and beyond to take care of my cats! One of my cats is a too smart for his own good, and he ended up getting into a specific cabinet for the first time and eating a whole bag of treats. Eleanor found a way to keep him out of that cabinet, and she also spent extra time with him to make sure he wasn't having any digestive problems. She's also super knowledgeable about cats and was so communicative with me the whole time I was gone!”
“Jasmin did a great job caring for our cat Clementine and keeping our house tidy while we were away. We could tell from the photos she sent that Clementine liked having her around, and we were really impressed with how clean our house was when we got home. She went above and beyond caring for our home and our cat.”
“Mary was so great with my kitties, especially making friends with Hobbes who doesn't like anyone but me. The photo updates made me smile while I was 3000 miles away spending the longest time I had ever been away from them. I look forward to working with her again because I know they were in the best hands (maybe next time Zoni will say hi).”
“Anibet was excellent with my cat Rio. She gave me regular updates via photos and videos, which was wonderful. I highly recommend her and will certainly keep her in mind for future requests. Thank you again for taking care of My Rio ♡”
“Celestine did a fabulous job caring for my two cats this past weekend. They took good care of them, kept them company, fed them, and cleaned up two messes they made. I really appreciated Celestine's care and would definitely hire them again.”
“This is the second time Olivia has done drop in visits for our cat Moka while we were away and we are always so happy with her care! She leaves very detailed rover cards with plenty of pictures and even videos that help us feel that our cat is happy to see her and very well cared for! Olivia goes above and beyond to help us feel at ease while we are away and I would recommend her every time! Thanks so much as always Olivia :)”
About: I am a former dog owner and current cat mom. Growing up, we had a 100 lb Labrador that I was responsible for feeding, and walking. He could pull too! Now, I help out with my grandma’s chihuahua and I have a sweet cat, Brick. I am new to being a sitter, however, I love all animals and have cared for a variety of different fur-legged friends. I currently work remotely which allows me plenty of flexibility with my day. My apartment is too small for a dog, so I am really looking forward to being able to spend time taking care of dogs while helping out their owners. I look forward to walking and playing with your dog to help them expend their energy while you are away. I am very good with time management, so they will always be fed on time. I am not afraid of a little tussle, so I they need to go to the vet for any reason, I can easily have them in the crate and ready to go.
About: For over 17 years, I have been serving the pets and families of my local area and community. I love caring, connecting, and creating everlasting relationships. I provide care for your fur baby as if they were my own, and ensure that they receive the highest quality care while you're away. I am always prepared for any pet's needs and ensure that your pet will receive the best care and love. Their happiness and care is my priority and I strive to provide a service that I would want my own pets to receive. Specialty with working with Senior pets(blind, deaf, and health conditions). Professional and Certified Groomer that can offer grooming services as well! Check out our website for more information! We hope to see you real SoOon! Currently self-employed running my grooming business. I have plenty of time to walk, board, and check up on pets at anytime. I am very flexible. I have a fenced in yard that I can take them to, walk in complex, can be crated, and allow full range of house. Can sleep in room with me or anywhere they feel safe in the house.
About: I love walks, movies, reading and hiking - especially with dogs and cats! Looking to give out some belly rubs and help my community take care of their furry family members I work a hybrid work schedule so I have lots of time spent at home and looking to go for some walks! Sometimes I work at a restaurant at night, but I am incredibly flexible. Well Jazzy steals my pillows and my bed, has a set feeding schedule, and expects dog park dates every weekend - so her will is my command lol she gets dog treats whenever she’s a good girl and new dog toys after they get destroyed (which is too often for my pockets - hence a new part time needed).
About: Growing up on a farm, I have been taking care of animals for practically my entire life! I have experience caring for a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, horses, chickens, rabbits, goats, and even ducks. Pet Parents being away from home can be a very stressful time and it’s my goal to make sure your pets receive all the love, attention, and care they need during that time! After working at Dogtopia Downtown Evanston as shift lead for the past year, I gained even more experience caring for dogs! If I can control a room of 30+ dogs and keep the room fun yet safe, I’m confident I can care for your dogs! I also now have experience in grooming(baths, brush-outs, ear cleanings, teeth cleanings, and nail trimmings) Currently a Cat Dad of two adorable kittens! My schedule is pretty flexible as I’m working contract to contract as an actor. Generally rehearsals happen 6-10pm on weekdays and on weekends generally mornings and afternoons. I will always make your pets a priority and spend time with and care for them before and after rehearsals. I always make sure to read all instructions and actively communicate with the pet parent on how their pet is doing whether it’s just that they’re having a great time or if an issue arises. I also will make sure your pet receives enough play time, time outside, potty breaks, food, medication, and care. If a medical emergency were to occur, I will take your pet to the vet and actively communicate every step of the way!
About: I’d love to meet your pets and go on mini adventures with them :) I’ve had my own dog before and I’ve fostered kittens. I love animals and have babysat many (lots of huskies so i’m trained for the drama). I’m a recent grad with extra time on my hands and a landlord that doesn’t allow pets so please let me show yours some love! I currently only have one part time job so plenty of time to fit in for pet care, reach out for more details I am very flexible! I am very respectful of all spaces and places, when coming to your home to check on your pets I will do my upmost best to keep everything as you like it.
