Cat Sitting Medinah

“Melissa is amazing and everyone should use her. She provides communication updates which are very much appreciated in long trips and are not required.”

“Renee was great! Loved that she took the time beforehand to do a meet n greet. She even did an extra meet n greet because we booked so far in advance and it had been awhile. Attentive, kind, and her passion for animals is clear! Thank you 😊”

“You will not go wrong if you choose Warda. I left my young, shy kitten & came home to her being outgoing, talkative & more playful. Warda is a cat mom & treated my cat as her own. She also found ways to capitalize on the drop-in time for entertainment as it was my cat's time to be left alone without me being there. I know my cat missed me as she hasn't let me out of her sight since my coming home and that warms my heart.”

About: We've used Rover for years for our Zoey. It has always been great to know she is safe and happy when we're away. We want to provide that same relief when you need to be away from your furry friend. We've had dogs for 20 years and that doesn't even count the pets we had growing up. We will provide your dog with all the comforts of home including a big fenced in yard. Although I normally work outside of the house, my husband James works from home and our daughter lives here while in college. That means lots of love and care for your doggies throughout the day. Safety is our top priority so you can feel confident in leaving your pet in our care. We have a large, fenced in yard. We understand anxious pets because we have one! We promise pictures and updates (if that's what you'd like!)

“Ashley was an excellent sitter. She communicated frequently and gave us great updates about the cats. It was clear she really cares for animals and our cats were very well cared for.”

“I love Viktoriia! She took exceptional care of my old kitty. I was very nervous about going away, but Viktoriia put me at ease right away. She sent pictures daily and made my kitty comfortable and secure. 5 stars!!”

About: I’m an animal lover through and through! I’ve been house sitting for 6 years. I am experienced with dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. I am also experienced with senior animals needing medication. I just moved to the area and I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! I am working a full time job but it offers flexibility. I also have different days off each week allowing me to work into your schedule. I work evenings allowing availability during the normal work day. I love spending time with cats and dogs. Whether that be in your home or taking your dog/s on a walk to enjoy the weather!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience with almost every kind of pet personality out there. Professionally, I worked as a sales representative at Petland, where I was directly responsible for matching families with ideal animal companions and managing high-touch customer interactions daily. This role gave me hands-on, daily experience caring for, socializing, and handling young puppies, so I am incredibly comfortable with puppy energy and strict feeding routines. Beyond my professional background, I grew up with a family Beagle, and as a kid, I was the neighborhood dog walker for an American Bulldog. More recently, I’ve spent plenty of time helping a close friend look after his Australian Shepherd and Aussie mix, so I know exactly what it takes to keep up with highly active, intelligent, and working dog breeds. I’ve also owned fish, a frog, snails and lizards in the past, so I’m comfortable with specialized setups too. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt completely to whatever your pet needs. Whether you have a high-energy dog that needs a solid workout to burn off steam, a young puppy working on routines, or an older dog who prefers a quiet, relaxed neighborhood stroll, I am patient, intuitive, and dedicated. I treat every animal with the same care, respect, and safety that I give my own family pets. My current work schedule gives me a great deal of independence and flexibility throughout the week. Because I manage my own day-to-day shifts rather than a traditional desk job, I can easily plan my hours around your pet's specific needs. Whether that means stopping by for early morning check-ins, taking long mid-day walks, or providing dedicated house-sitting coverage, I build my routine around ensuring total consistency. Your pet won't have to wait around for their normal feeding times, potty breaks, or exercise. Keeping your pet safe and comfortable is my absolute top priority. When I'm caring for a pet in your home, I treat your space with total respect and keep things clean and secure. I’m very vigilant about the little details; making sure doors and gates are securely latched, keeping potential hazards completely out of reach, and following your specific house rules to the letter. When we’re out on walks, I keep a close eye on the surroundings, maintain a firm grip on the leash, and avoid unpredictable situations with other strange animals. I'm also big on communication, so I’ll always send you quick text updates and photo check-ins so you can relax knowing they are safe and having a great time.

“My wife and I like to take trips here and there, and we’ve always relied on our kids to watch the dogs while we’re away. We started to feel like it was becoming a burden for them, so we decided to look for a professional sitter instead. We were both understandably nervous about having someone come into our home to care for our dogs, but Selena quickly put us at ease. Selena was our first choice, and we are so glad we were able to book with her. She was quick to respond, extremely professional, and took the time to come over beforehand to meet the dogs and learn their routine. Right away, my wife and I were impressed with her experience, knowledge, and qualifications. While we were away for a long weekend, Selena was absolutely amazing. She sent us plenty of pictures, spent quality time playing with the dogs, and cared for them exactly as we would ourselves. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. I highly recommend Selena and have already rebooked with her for future trips.”

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.

“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.”

“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’ve had pets my entire life from big dogs to fluffy cats. I currently have two kitties who are my world, but always grew up with dogs! I have a ton of experience caring for my own pets- dog walking, feeding, cleaning, etc. Animals have my heart and I will love your babies like my own! I work a typical M-F 8-4 job, but am more than happy to make visits before and after work. Weekends are wide open! I am detail oriented when it comes to pet care. I will provide quality time with your pet in addition to ensuring a clean and safe environment!

“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!”

About: My name is Ashley, I’m 30 years old, and currently a third-year medical student on track to graduate and become a doctor in two years. Outside of school and studying, I enjoy caring for animals—especially dogs. I’ve grown up around dogs since I was 8 years old and have had three of my own, who now live with my parents. To me, dogs are family, and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of health and responsibility—skills I’ve developed both through my medical training and my lifelong experience with dogs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including seniors, and I’m always attentive to their behavior, comfort, and safety. I treat every dog as if they were my own—with patience, love, and care. As a current medical student, my schedule can be demanding, but I make time for the things that bring me joy—and caring for animals is one of them. I’m available part-time and can walk dogs or provide pet care on a daily basis, especially with some notice in advance. My study schedule is flexible, so I can plan around appointments or daily routines. Pet care is a great way for me to take a break, get outside, and do something meaningful—so I’m always happy to make it part of my week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always aim to maintain the pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I make sure to follow all instructions provided—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, walks, or playtime. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and ensure the pet has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of affection and attention. I also send updates and photos if requested, so clients can feel reassured that their pet is happy and well-cared for in their absence.

“Wonderful! ☺️”

About: Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember, but English Bulldogs hold a special place in my heart. I trained and raised my own English Bulldog for 9 years, who grew into a special needs senior: blind in his later years and on multiple daily medications. Loving him through every stage taught me what bulldog parents already know: these dogs are one of a kind, and they need a sitter who understands them. Bulldogs aren't just low-maintenance couch potatoes, and I know the details that make the difference. I understand their stubbornness, heat sensitivities, and breathing issues. I stay on top of daily wrinkle cleaning and regular ear checks to prevent irritation and infections, and I'm happy to apply nose butter and follow your dog's grooming routine if needed. I also have the patience to work with a stubborn bulldog mood. Managing multiple daily medications and caring for a blind senior dog taught me to be organized, gentle, and attentive to any changes in routine, appetite, or behavior. My experience goes well beyond loving animals. I've worked at both a pet store and a local animal hospital, where I cared for a variety of animals, cleaned enclosures and kennels, maintained a sanitary environment, tracked food intake and behavior, and administered medications. Working alongside veterinary teams taught me to notice small changes and flag concerns early, so every animal in my care is safe, comfortable, and closely monitored. Don't have a bulldog? Don't worry! I've had years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds, plus cats, small animals, aquatic pets, and more, and I've provided trusted in-home pet care for neighbors and family members. Whether your pup is a personable bulldog like mine, or any other beloved companion, under my care they won't just be looked after. They'll be understood, loved, and treated like family. A recent Elmhurst University graduate, I currently have a flexible, full-time availability to dedicate to pet care, meaning your pets get my full attention and availability any day of the week. When I visit your home, my top priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and as stress-free as possible in their own environment. I know that unfamiliar faces can be an adjustment for some animals, so I always take a calm, patient approach and let your pet set the pace when it comes to warming up. During drop-ins, I'll follow your routines closely: feeding schedules, medications, behavioral notes, and any specific preferences you've set for your pet. I treat your home with the same respect and care I'd want shown in my own. Everything will be left exactly as I found it. For dog walks, I keep a close eye on body language and surroundings at all times, keeping walks safe and enjoyable. I'm experienced in handling dogs with different temperaments and energy levels, and I'll always make sure your pup is secure before heading out. I'm also happy to provide updates, photos, and notes after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing, because peace of mind for you is just as important as good care for them!
