“Mariela is fantastic! Excellent communication, care and daily videos and pictures. Her care of our 2 cats made us comfortable and confident that they were well taken care of while we were out of town. We will definitely be booking her services again and highly recommend her!”

“Yesi was absolutely great with our two cats and did a phenomenal job house sitting. She took care of everything perfectly and went above and beyond to take extra precautions during the Covid-19 pandemic. She even took the initiative to do some tasks like watering plants that we did not ask of her. Overall we were extremely impressed and will definitely be repeat customers!”

About: Why do I do what I do? Because there's no feeling like receiving that first tail wag, head bump, or slobbery kiss. My calling is to advocate for the ones who can't do it themselves and to care for them. Having 6 cats and some reptiles of my own and being a Veterinary Technician is what my life consists of and I love it. Being a Veterinary Technician aids me in many ways while pet sitting. Being able to read animals body language and understand their ways of communicating allow me to bond and build trust with my pet friends. I'm comfortable with all breeds, temperaments, special needs, and feline friends(spicy ones too). Building that bond with all my furry friends is what brings joy to my soul. Making sure every pet is happy, healthy, and feels safe are my main priority, always! I have the luxury of creating my own schedule so fortunately I am very flexible. Lately I have been sitting, walking, and doing drop-ins on a more regular basis. I do have a part-time job, but that schedule is made according to my business schedule. Pet care comes first! It's all about your pets safety and comfort thats my main priority. All of my services will be done in your home to make things as stress free as possible for your pets. I am more than happy to do your daily routines as you would and care for every pet as if they are my own.

About: I've taken care of animals since I was a kid, owned dogs as big as Saint Bernards, 4 cats, and currently a Pitbull. I've put my dog through beginner, intermediate, and advanced obedience training, so I can put that training to work with your animal as well. :) I work as a teacher during the day, so I can visit your pets anytime after 3pm and anytime, morning or night on the weekends. Since I have grown up around animals, I know how to respect their boundaries and let them 'accept' me before I give them pets. I know their body language well enough to know when they're happy, upset, or don't like a certain thing in their environment. I know that animals need stimulation, so I like taking them for walks and giving them proper attention and playtime :)

“Morgan watched our elderly cat Bear in our home while we traveled. She did a great job with Bears daily syringe medication and took great care of our house while we were gone - it was very clean when we came back. She is a great pet sitter and we’d love to have her back again.”

Kailey C.

“Brittany did a great job taking care of my cat! She was always on time for her visits and provided detailed updates and pictures after every check-in, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was attentive, caring, and made sure my cat was well taken care of and got plenty of love and attention. I really appreciated her communication and reliability. I would definitely recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

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’ve been around and caring for animals for most of my life. Growing up with pets and continuing to have them today has given me a lot of hands-on experience understanding their needs, routines, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, providing fresh water, giving treats, walks and exercise, playtime, litter box and potty breaks, and keeping their spaces clean and comfortable. I’m also comfortable giving pets plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I know some pets need lots of activity and play, while others are happier with a quiet environment, cuddles, and someone nearby. I’m attentive to changes in their behavior and routine and take their individual needs seriously. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals. When I care for someone’s pet, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I treat every pet as an individual and care for them with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would give my own. I’m a part-time nanny with a flexible schedule, so I’m looking to fill my available time by caring for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, litter box care, and companionship. I love animals and enjoy giving them the attention and care they deserve! Although I am unable to watch pets in my home I would be happy to come to you. If you have a safe yard to play in we could hang out there and throw the ball around or just bask in the sun with lots of pets and belly rubs. I love nature as much as I do animals so I would also love to take them on different adventures around the neighborhood as well

“Evelyn is a god send! She was FABULOUS with our pets. We have a sassy cat and two buns who absolutely loved her! She was prompt on timing and followed all of the directions we had. She met with us before our vacation to meet our furry friends and pick up keys. She sent hilarious updates and pictures. We never had a worry with Evelyn watching our pets. 10 out 10 would book her again.”

I love staying active and exercising, so your dog will get the perfect amount of outdoor fun, playtime, and fresh air.

You can count on me for regular updates, quick communication, and lots of love for your furry best friend! As a college student taking online classes this summer, my schedule is incredibly flexible. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I have the freedom to manage my own time. I am a very physically active person who loves exercising and going on long walks. Since I live surrounded by beautiful green areas, I can easily incorporate energetic walks and outdoor playtime into my day, ensuring your pet gets the exercise and stimulation they need. Whether your pet needs early morning attention, midday visits, or evening companionship, my flexible schedule allows me to be there whenever they need me most. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety, trust, and strict adherence to routine are my top priorities. I am highly organized and disciplined, so I follow all feeding, medication, and cleaning instructions exactly as requested to maintain a stress-free environment. I make sure doors and windows are secure at all times, and I keep a close eye on the pet's body language to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I love exploring the surrounding green trails for long, safe walks, always keeping dogs securely leashed. You will receive regular updates and photos, giving you total peace of mind knowing your home is respected and your pet is receiving dedicated, loving care.

“Brianna took care of my cats while my fiancée and I were out of town. It’s a bit difficult to find sitters that can administer oral medicine to cats, and Brianna was able to meet the task, give love to my 2 cats and make sure their area was well kept. She responds quickly to texts as well. If you need a cat sitter, I would recommend her to any client!”

“Ellie was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and patient. My cat took an instant liking to her and she was extremely competent. I felt like I left my cat in excellent hands while I was away. Ellie went above and beyond when caring for my cat and I am so grateful!!”

Stephanie M.

“Cheyenne was an amazing sitter for my kitty! She sent me lots of pictures and reassured me every time she visited. In the pictures, I could tell he loved having her as company. I would recommend her to anyone! She's amazing!”
