Cat Sitting Highwood

“For anyone looking for a sitter go ahead and just hire Jacqueline now! Jacqueline dropped everything to come and meet my cat and then take over watching her for 10 days when our previous sitter cancelled at the very last minute. She truly loves animals and was so happy to take care of my cat! She provided amazing detailed daily feedback on my kitty, was immediately responsive to any messages I sent her, and really just made me feel that my cat was in great hands when I was away. I can’t recommend her more! Absolutely hire her now!”

“When booking for a boarding weekend, neither Lauren and I were sure whether our cats would be a good fit for a weekend boarding stay. She was more than willing to be flexible and try a one night boarding stay to test out if a longer weekend stay would work. Lauren was friendly, attentive, caring to my cat. Her home was welcoming for my pet. She provided photos. Thank you Lauren for trying a one night trial run!”

“Reliable and caring!”

“Sarah took care of our cat for four days at our house while we were away. He has to be given medication at certain times during the day and also loves human attention. Sarah was caring and responsible, spent time hanging out with him, and made sure he got his meals and medicine at the right times. She also checked in with us, asked good questions, and responded quickly when we checked in with her. We hope to hire Sarah again, and highly recommend her for petsitting and housesitting.”

“Jason was absolutely fantastic! His check-in updates were detailed and reassuring, with photos and notes that showed the care he put in. He won over our usually shy cat, Puddles, which says a lot about his patience and kindness. Both Storm and Puddles were clearly well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. For the past 3 years I’ve taken care of dogs for multiple families, stayed over to care for pets overnight, worked as a dog walker, and always love playing and meeting new pups. I have cared for multiple pets at once, am consistent with feeding and walking schedules, have cared for pets of all ages, and love to share updates and pictures of your pup. I am a graduate student based in Lake Bluff who loves animals! I have a car and a lot of morning and evening flexibility with some mid-day flexibility as well to feed, walk, or check in on pets. I am also available for overnight stays to ensure your pet is cared for overnight. Because of my flexible schedule, I am available for last minute bookings to help care for your pet in any way needed. I can’t wait to meet new furry friends! I feel comfortable staying in clients home if needed, dropping in to walk or feed pets, and crating pets if needed. I’ve had repeat clientele for whom I’ve cared for free roam and crated pets, dogs with special care needs, stayed overnight both short and long term, and worked as a dog walker. My own dog is a small, 18 lbs, friendly dog who loves to meet new friends. I have experience with my own and other pets and thus have a good understanding of animal body language, building trust, and understand that a good pet sitter should get to know your pet on their own terms. I am also willing to do meet and greats to ensure both you and your pet are comfortable with the match.

“Lindsay was wonderful and took excellent care of my two cats. One is very shy but he took to Lindsay right away which was great. Highly recommend!!”

About: I was raised on a farm, w/ a healthy love, & respect for all animals. I have experience w/ animals large & small, from horses, sheep, & goats, to dogs, & cats. I especially enjoy raising & training dogs, as they thrive on, & readily return unconditional trust & love. I currently own a 14 yr. old Westie, named Blizzard, bought as a family Christmas gift, to teach my children how to properly care for, & train a puppy/dog. I have walked dogs, & dog/cat-sat for many friends, as they have full confidence in knowing I will care for their homes & pets, as I do my own, responsibly & lovingly. My schedule is quite flexible, as I currently work from home, & want to supplement my income, doing something I'll truly enjoy, spending quality time w/ your furry friends, when you can't. My schedule is wide open, in hopes of acquiring, & prioritizing repeat/long-term clients, but not necessarily set schedules, & most often available for occasional, or emergency visits/walks, as well. I am available early morning to early evening, given ample notice of cancellation (8-12 hrs.), so to maintain other career obligations. I look forward to meeting fellow pet lovers, and your furry friends! I'm very active, greatly enjoy the outdoors, & not terribly averse to inclement weather, so more than happy to visit, walk, & play, rain, snow, or shine, whether around the yard, the block, or at the nearest park. I'm proud to say, my friends would describe me as friendly, trustworthy, & dependable, so you will also have full confidence in knowing I will respect your home, & care for your pets, as I do my own, responsibly, & lovingly. I look forward to making new pet pals, & hope to see you soon! Pet care has become my primary work, over the past few years, while caring for my elderly grandparents. I'm proud to be my own boss, & to be able to do what I love, spending time w/ animals, treating them w/ love & affection, as I would my own. I have plenty of space, indoor or outdoor, to walk, run, & play, on leash, or happy to take a ride, to the nearest dog park, to run freely, & socialize w/ other pups. Your Pet, your rules! Just let me know how you'd like/prefer our time be spent, together.

“Ashley took great care of my cats, followed instructions, and sent pictures each day of their play time. One of my shy cats came out to play with her each day. Would book again!”

About: 🐾 I’m not your average pet sitter—I’m your pet’s new BFF! With experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle giants like St. Bernards, I understand every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I provide personalized care, whether your pup needs fun walks, extra attention, a consistent routine, or senior care. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. 🐶💕 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—not just a job. I make sure pets feel loved, comfortable, and cared for through consistent attention, playtime, walks, and affection. I offer flexible weekday and weekend availability from 7 AM–6 PM for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’ll tailor each visit to your pet’s unique personality and needs while keeping their routine happy and consistent. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment where pets feel happy and cared for. I respect each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences while providing the attention, playtime, and comfort they’re used to. I also prioritize safety by keeping their environment secure and free of hazards. Communication is important, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priorities!

About: I’m patient and skilled with all breeds of dogs. I have many years of experience in an animal hospital setting and with dog training and ownership. I am a registered nurse and former animal hospital employee. Willing to help in any way possible! Love animals and will always take great care of your pets! I have a very flexible schedule and will make sure your pet feela comfortable and happy. I treat my pets and all animals with kindness and highly attentive to their needs and their safety. I will treat them as my own and love them just as much while I am caring for them.

About: I offer in-home pet sitting and dog walking for local clients, providing feeding, exercise, and companionship for both dogs and cats. I'm comfortable administering medications and following individualized care instructions for pets with specific health or dietary needs. I've built lasting relationships with repeat clients through reliable scheduling, attentive care, and regular updates on their pets while they're away. I manage all bookings and client communication myself, balancing multiple pet-sitting clients alongside full-time work in animal care. I have flexible availability throughout the week, including daytime hours, which means I can stick to a pet's normal routine without rushing, whether that's multiple walks a day, mid-day feedings, or checking in on medication schedules. I'm able to be consistent and present, so pets get the same reliable care and attention every visit. I treat every home like it's my own, securing doors, following the pet's normal routine for feeding, walking, and litter boxes, and sticking closely to any medication or care instructions. My clinic experience helps me catch early signs if something seems off, and I know how to let anxious or senior cats warm up at their own pace rather than forcing it. For dogs, I double-check leashes and collars and stay attentive on walks. I keep owners updated throughout, so they always know their pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: I have experience caring for a variety of animals through my work at zoos. I personally own a Siberian Husky and a cat, both of whom are 10 years old and in excellent health. I also have previous experience dog sitting for family and friends. Working at a zoo has given me an understanding of the importance of animal nutrition, exercise, and mental stimulation through enrichment. I currently work at the zoo, and since I have weekdays off, I know it’s important for your pets to continue receiving care even when you’re at work, whether that means walking them or simply being there for them. I care deeply about my pets, and I understand you do, too. I always triple check doors when leaving to make sure your fur baby is safe. I am also comfortable with crating any dogs or feeding any shy kitties.

“Kathy and Edward were so helpful with my senior cat while I had to go out of town for a funeral. I was so relieved they took great care of him and even gave him his medication and played with him. Wonderful service!”
