Cat Sitting Manteno

“Emalee did everything as instructed. I only wish she mentioned the smell of uneaten food rotting in the kitchen trash can, so it could have been properly disposed of outside.”

Matthew S.

“Emma is wonderful with our cats and just the sweetest person. We are so thankful to have found her and to have her available when home from school!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and attention I give to every pet. I treat each animal as if they were my own—whether that means being extra gentle with senior dogs, helping reinforce training with energetic puppies, or making sure your shy or anxious pet feels safe and loved. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I pay close attention to your pet’s unique needs and routine. Communication is key, so I always keep owners updated with photos and notes to give you peace of mind while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be in a caring, responsible, and attentive environment. As a healthcare worker, I usually work three days a week, which gives me a very flexible schedule the rest of the week to focus on pet care. On my days off, I love spending time with animals—it’s honestly one of the best ways to unwind and bring joy into my routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or walks, I have the time, energy, and passion to give your pet the attention they deserve. My healthcare background also makes me dependable, calm under pressure, and very attentive to detail—especially when it comes to routines, medications, or special care needs. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of genuine care and attention I give every pet. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine—and I make it my priority to provide care that’s tailored to them. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies who need consistency and structure to sweet senior dogs who need patience, gentleness, and extra love. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and always keep pet parents in the loop with updates and photos. Whether your pup needs a walking buddy, cuddle partner, or someone to reinforce training, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home.

About: Hello! I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years — including rescues, seniors, and pups with lots of energy! I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with feeding routines, meds, and special care needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I promise to keep you updated with cute pictures and messages throughout their stay. Your fur baby’s comfort and safety come first! 🐕✨ I am currently working part time. Which is Tues-Sat 4pm-11pm tho so I’m anytime free before then. & I am off every Sunday and Monday I rent a home with a fenced in backyard. I do currently have 2 dogs. (Chihuahua mixes and a heeler mix.) they are crate trained so if you’re more comfortable with them staying separated from your baby(ies) that is absolutely no problem, depending on the duration of the stay.

About: I’ve had all kinds of animals growing up. Dogs, horses, cats, goats, a parakeet or two, I love animals so much. I have a ton of dog experience from puppies to seniors. I also understand the anxiety of leaving your pets alone and the importance of having someone you can trust to care for your pets when you have to be away. I’ll take care of your pets like they are my own. I’m currently attending massage therapy school so I need a flexible option, but I’m free a lot of the time and don’t mind driving to different locations. I treat my pets like family because they are my family. I understand the value of our pets and will treat each one like they are my own.

About: Pet adventure guide with a talent for river walks, snack negotiations, belly rubs, and earning the trust of even the sassiest cats. I only care for one “pack” at a time, so your pets get my undivided attention and personalized care—whether they’re boarding with me or just stopping by for the day 💜 After a career shift, I found myself with more flexibility in my schedule—and I decided to dedicate that time to doing something I LOVE 🐾 Safety First, Shenanigans second! Since my yard is unfenced, outdoor time is always supervised. I use a 125-lb-rated ground lead or a long leash held securely in hand, and I prefer dogs to wear a harness while in my care. On walks, I’m always keeping an eye out for anything that may trigger, disturb or excite your pup and I use positive redirection when needed. I follow your pet’s routine and preferences as closely as possible to make transition of care easier.

“Second time using Jeff services. Very happy. Jeff is very responsible and know his way around pets. Cats were happy and well cared for. Thanks Jeff!”

About: I’ve always had a passion for animals. We have two dogs and two cats. I previously worked at a doggy daycare/boarding center.

I’m available anytime over the weekends. I can help out wherever I am needed. I can take care of multiple pets. I enjoy doing drop ins and walks.

About: I’ve had dogs, bunnies, and other animals my whole life! I just graduated college, and am looking for a good way to spend my extra time right now:) I currently have a very open schedule, so there’s not much that wouldn’t fit into my routine right now. Pet care would be the perfect addition to my routine:) I have a lot of experience caring for pets in other peoples homes. I love taking dogs for walks, and playing with them especially when the weather is nice!

About: I've been caring for animals most of my life, from growing up with family dogs to being a dedicated cat owner for the past four years. Caring for pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and giving each animal the love and attention they deserve. Although I'm new to Rover, I'm committed to providing dependable, personalized care and treating every pet like they're part of my own family. I'll always follow your pet's routine, keep you updated with photos, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm available Monday through Saturday during the morning and afternoon for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I have a flexible part-time schedule, so I'm happy to work with your pet's routine whenever possible. Sundays are my day off, so I'm unavailable that day. When caring for your pet in your home, I'll follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of playtime, walks (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I'll also keep your home tidy, clean up after your pet, and provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for in the place they know best.

About: With over 5 years of hands-on dog watching experience, I provide more than supervision I provide stability, attentiveness, and genuine care. Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and ages. From energetic puppies who need structured activity to senior dogs who thrive on a calm, predictable pace, I understand how important it is to adapt to each dog’s individual needs. What truly sets me apart is the balance I bring between structure and affection. Dogs feel most secure when their routine stays consistent, so I make it a priority to maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible. My daily routine typically includes on-time feedings, fresh water refresh, bathroom breaks, and exercise tailored to your dog’s energy level. Whether that means long walks, active play sessions, enrichment activities, or simply relaxed companionship, I adjust based on what your dog needs that day. Beyond the basics, I focus on mental stimulation and emotional well-being. I reinforce positive behaviors, engage in interactive play, and ensure your dog has both active time and calm downtime. I work overnight shifts during the week, and I dedicate my weekends fully to pet care. This allows me to provide focused, unrushed attention from Friday through Sunday. I intentionally keep my weekend availability open for pet sitting so I can give each pet consistent, quality care without overbooking. Weekend care includes structured routines with feedings, walks, playtime, enrichment, and calm companionship tailored to your pet’s needs. I make sure their schedule stays consistent and stress-free while you’re away. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep everything as normal and stress-free as possible. Pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I prioritize maintaining their routine, respecting their space, and creating a calm, consistent presence while you’re away.

“I strongly recommend Anthony. Very educated person with a strong knowledge and passion for pets. Anthony will keep you informed in regards of your love ones...”

About: I have experience with giving medication for 5+ years. I enjoy long walks around the neighborhood or forest preserves. I used to volunteer at pet shelters when I was college. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and concerns I am a former graduate at northwestern and i am currently working in healthcare as an X-ray tech. My Schedule is flexible with my job! I’m sorry, at this time I am not providing any at home services. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation at this time.

“Sarah did an amazing job with my two kitties. She was super communicative and clear on when she'd be arriving at the house and what her schedule was like. She sent tons of pictures of the cats and was super responsive when I'd text. It really helped us be less nervous on a week long vacation that we had someone responsible and nice at the house to look after the cats. I could tell by the pictures she sent that they were relaxed and happy. We will be using her again for sure! The peace of mind helped us enjoy our trip without worrying about our babies.”

About: Taking care of your animal will be my number one priority. I love animals, I will be more than attentive to their needs and accommodate anything you would like. I’m available any time you need me and I will take in any animal, big, small, furry, hairless, you name it! I love them all. I’ve had animals my whole life so I know how to take care of dogs, I’ve had cats now for 5 years and kittens and it’s a handful but it has taught me so many things needed to be a perfect sitter! I love getting pets toys, and fancy food sometimes to spoil them so expect that (if it’s fone with the owner) of course. I can’t wait to meet you and your lovely pet!
