“Sheri was amazing! We are new to the area and have been looking for someone to watch our cat. Sheri came for a quick meet and greet prior to watching Havarti, and our cat loved her right away. While watching Havarti she sent us photos which we love and spent time playing with her and giving her snuggles! We would highly recommend Sheri to anyone looking for a cat sitter! :)”

“My partner and I are so grateful for Janet! She made our trip completely stress free with her high quality care and service. She took time to greet the cats before we left, and showed she was very sensitive to their needs and boundaries; the cats approved almost right away! During our trip, she kept us updated with pictures of their meals, medication, snuggles, and play time. Janet was also very confident and trustworthy in helping Nyx with her asthma inhaler! We came home to two very happy, comfortable cats, and we could not be more pleased with Janet's help!”

About: NEW CLIENTS USE CODE: TonyG84167 for 20% OFF Your First Booking! I bring over thirteen years of hands-on experience in animal care, primarily through my volunteer work with Helping Paws in Woodstock, Illinois. During this time, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of dogs—each with unique needs and backgrounds—including those with behavioral challenges, disabilities, and medical issues, such as sick or vulnerable litters. In addition to my volunteer experience, I have also partnered with One Tail at a Time, where I provided foster care for dogs requiring immediate placement and specialized attention. Beyond my formal experience, I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, birds, and fish, which has given me a lifelong understanding and passion for their well-being. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns! I currently work full-time as a dog sitter, primarily providing boarding services in my apartment. I am home throughout the day with the pets in my care, with the exception of brief errands such as grocery runs. My highly flexible schedule allows me to accommodate last-minute requests with ease. Above all, my priority is to ensure that both pets and their owners feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I am equally comfortable taking the lead or following a detailed set of instructions—understanding that every pet owner has their own unique preferences when it comes to their dog's care. My priority is to ensure each pet and owner receives personalized, attentive service tailored to their specific needs. Whether it’s engaging in a playful round of tug-of-war or simply providing calm, reassuring companionship, I’m happy to adapt to whatever your pup requires.
