“Amazing experience with Merve! Our dog can be very timid around new people and Merve was willing to work with Kona until she felt comfortable. Now they are buds for life! We will 100% be using Merve in the future.”

4. Mickey A.
“Every year for the last 20 plus years I go on a bike trip with my friends for a week. And for the last couple of years I've never felt more comfortable when I go away being concerned about my fur babies. I had two cats Ralo n Charro. Rollo passed away about 4 years ago and I still left Charles who's 22 years old. And I got to say that I have no worries with Mickey taking care of her. I have certain instructions for Mickey when it comes to my cat because I spoil Charro. If she does everything I asked which is wonderful. Not only do I trust her with the cat I trust her with my place and I understand age there aren't many people you can do that with. Would I recommend her absolutely 1,000%. Just all around good person and reliable, kind, And trustworthy. I stake my reputation on it that you will have no worries with her taking care of anyone's pet.”

“We had left our 2 cats under Kelly’s care when we went on our trip. One of them is under medication. Kelly was very regular in sending us the pics and the daily updates. It’s always nice to have the feeling that someone is there to take care of our pets with the same care we give. Kelly has been great. Even my timid cat went and mingled with her ... which is a big deal!!”

About: I have owned my own cats for 15 years now. They are constantly cuddled and pampered. My husband and I adopted our two dogs 10 years ago. They go on car rides with us, and long walks. They love chew toys, and bones. When I lived at home I took care of all of our senior pets. I was raised in a household where pets are family. I would take care of your animals like they were one of my own. I am a teacher full time, but I am available full time during the summers. I am around in the evenings during the school year. I can walk your dogs, let them out in a fenced yard, play with them, and give lots of cuddles. I also love cats and can scoop litter boxes, play with them, and give them cuddles.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. I am the entrusted pet sitter for my neighborhood and family members. I help walk dogs and hangout with cats for holiday seasons and much more. I am comfortable administering medicine, diaper changes, and etc. I’m currently attending Loyola Chicago during the week, but I am available evenings after 4 PM on MWF and after 6PM on Tu/Th, also- anytime on the weekends! I love to adventure outside or have a chill day indoors. I am familiar with medical emergencies in cats and most dogs. I have wound training and a grandmother who is a vet that provides me with great support and advice. This motivates me to take spectacular care of your pets!
