Cat Sitting Lincolnwood

“Kit was incredibly thoughtful and made sure to ask me questions about my pets’ needs that hadn’t even occurred to me to share. She sent lots of pictures and updates on my cats throughout my trip so I knew they were well taken care of. Could not recommend her more!!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets in many different life stages and personalities. I have a 15 year old senior Chihuahua who has been through surgeries and illnesses, and through attentive care, patience, daily walks, and lots of love, she is still healthy, happy, and strong today. I also rescued an adult cat from the street who is now around 3–4 years old. Helping him adjust taught me patience, understanding, and how important it is to make animals feel safe and comfortable. In addition, I have an energetic 8-month-old kitten who keeps me active and experienced with younger pets as well. I am also a runner who’s ran the Chicago marathon, I am prepared to keep up with high energy pups! My pets are truly my family, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals. Under my care, your pets will be treated with the same patience, attention, love, and priority that I give my own. I am available most days of the week for walks and drop-in visits, for house sitting I am mostly available on weekends. I keep my schedule updated daily :) I will care for your pet in your home and always follow your instructions carefully to maintain their normal routine and comfort. I understand how important it is to keep things consistent for animals, so I will make sure to follow all feeding schedules, care notes, and any special directions you provide. I will also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away, including messages, photos, and any important notes about how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep you fully informed and reassured. Most importantly, I will care for your pet in the environment where they feel safest and most comfortable, your home, so they can stay relaxed, secure, and stress-free while receiving attentive and loving care.

About: I have had a variety of pets and have cared for a variety of animals (dogs, cats, birds and a turtle). A variety of breeds and ages. I am available most weekdays after 4pm. I am available most Saturdays in the AM and PM. I also am available Sunday afternoons and evenings. I make sure my dog has plenty of food and fresh water throughout the day. I take her outside to go to the bathroom in the morning and right when I come home. I take her on a walk. I play and cuddle with her a lot.

“This was our first time using River and I’m happy to have found Jessica. She remembered details about the cats that I shared during our first conversation, and shared many updates and photos from each visit. Thank you!”

Ellyn D.

“SO friendly, communicative, and patient. My pets are shy but she had no problem trying to gain their trust. I will absolutely be booking her again.”

Elisa D.

“Great job caring for 7 cats, it’s always complicated as the care is not the same for every one of them but Sheena was able to manage them all.”

Evan M.

“I recommend Tony and will rehire.”

Debbie H.

“I always hire Ellie to take care of my cat. She takes amazing care of my cat Hamilton and I'm always pleased with the good pet care that she provides.”

Elizabeth M.

“Anana was brilliant. She sent goofy pics of our little orange boy. There was an issue with our door and she worked with us to work through it. She communicated well and is very reliable. Thank you so much Anana!”

Karishma C.

“Super sweet. Definitely my new designated cat sitter. My kitties love her!!! Attentive and communicative. You can tell she loves all the pets she watches.”

Sophia O.

“We have used Paula multiple times and have been pleased every time. The first time we used her we ended up needing her to disconnect a fire detector that was beeping and troubleshoot our pet feeder. She was more than willing to do so and so kind about everything!”

Katelyn L.

“Absolutely the best sitter ever. Great with communication and made me feel very comfortable with her watching my fur babies. They love her.”

Kaila G.

“Morgan checked in on our cats and they loved her! I appreciated knowing they were getting care and attention and treats. She was good about communication and directions on where things are, etc. Would definitely ask her to watch them again!”

Julia M.

“As a fellow Rover sitter who takes care very seriously, finding Coral here was the greatest peace of mind I could ever give myself. Coral is the kind of petsitter I have always aspired to be. Kind, gentle, attentive, understanding, and so much more. I could not be more grateful for the way you cared for Lola and Toes and now have 100% confidence that I can be away and my babies will be fully loved and extremely well cared for by their new best friend. Thank you, for everything.”

Abbey G.

“Karli was great! She was really thorough with daily updates and to my surprise, my apprehensive natured cats, felt very comfortable to interact with her. Thanks again, Karli!”

About: Your pets deserve more than just a sitter; they deserve someone who genuinely loves them. I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals, and for more than a decade I’ve turned that passion into a profession as a dog walker and cat sitter, while volunteering at local shelters along the way. I’ve cared for every personality under the sun including the shy ones, the wild ones, the velcro dogs, the aloof cats, and I love them all. What sets me apart? I treat every pet like my own. Not as a catchphrase, but as a promise. Accommodating each pet’s individual needs comes naturally to me, and every animal I care for gets the same love and attention I’d give my own. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety are always my top priority. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, experienced, and truly passionate about animals, you’ve found them. I hope to meet your pet very soon! I work from home during the week, so my schedule is pretty flexible! For drop-in visits and walks, I’m available after 4pm on weekdays and anytime during weekends. During our meet and greet, we can discuss all the ins and outs of your pets needs! Depending on the service, how I care for your pet in your home is variable. Dog walking includes 25 minutes outside, and 5 minutes inside for a little time to refresh their water, and playtime, or cuddle time, depending on what your dog is feeling! Cat visits inside, I tend to go by what one communicates during our meet and greet. Usually it will include cuddles, water refresh, and/or playtime. I will always take my shoes off, and double check to see if I locked your door correctly! :)

“Houston was awesome with my two large dogs. They were well taken care of and Houston had excellent communication, patience, and flexibility with me for all of the changes in my schedule the day she was with them.”

Jaime J.

“We are so grateful for the excellent care our cat received while we were away for two weeks over Christmas and New Year’s. Communication was clear and consistent, updates were reassuring, and it was obvious our cat was well cared for and comfortable the entire time. Traveling over the holidays can be stressful, and it was such a relief knowing everything at home was handled with care and reliability. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend.”

April S.

“MELINA IS THE BEST! I was gone for two weeks and she made daily visits to my fur baby. Mind you my cat isn’t the friendliest but she made sure he was well fed and looked after. She was so patient and friendly and made the process so smooth. She sent me photos and updates daily that made me feel so relieved being out of town for so long. Definitely rebooking her each time and recommending her to everyone!!! You fur baby is safe with her! Thank you so much Melina!! 10/10”

About: My approach to pet care is based on being attentive – both to your instructions and to the ways in which your pet is communicating. When I am with your pet, I am really with your pet – I'm not distracted or thinking about somebody else. I care to get to know them and respond to their needs moment-by-moment while we are together. I have your pet's security and safety at the top of my mind – I am the type to review your care instructions every time I visit, and double-check that everything is properly locked up before I leave for the day. I could say that I will treat your pets like they are my own pets, but I will also say that I will treat your pets like they are my own neighbors: I will provide complete attention, respect, care, and friendship to your cats and dogs. Aside from pet care, I work on creative projects at home on my own time. That means I can generally put your pets first, and be responsive to your schedule. When we have an established pet care relationship, I am uniquely flexible and available for last moment needs: once we have a routine together, I am ready to support you at a moment's notice. Expert, High-Trust Service: I am responsible & orderly. I pride myself on being observant, discreet, and reliable. Whether you need a one-time visit or a consistent routine, I treat your home with total respect and provide the peace of mind that comes with a truly qualified caretaker. Beyond the Basics: I am deeply attentive to your pet’s needs—ensuring they are returned home clean, dry, and happy after every outing. I am also happy to assist with basic household chores, such as garbage removal, to ensure your living space remains stress-free. A Partner in Your Pet’s Life: If we establish a long term routine, my goal is to earn your trust so that, over time, I can provide the best personalized service possible. By managing the logistics and "little things" that often pile up (pet chores, household tasks, etc), I can lighten your load so you can get the most out of your time at home simply enjoying your pet. How'd I get to be a qualified caretaker? My professional background has involved providing personalized, high-trust support (ex. providing personal assistance to the elderly & managing high-value collections of rare items). In all those years, I've learned that providing attention and care was the common thread in the work I really loved – I can do that for your pets.
