Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Curtis and I am a Texas native who has lived in Chicago for the last 6.5 years! I have owned pets my entire life, my mom owning a cat before I was born, and we adopted Hayley, an energetic Yorkie, into our family in 2006. I have experience walking, cleaning, and playing with both cats and dogs, and have a love for both! Hayley required heart medication and both her and our cat lived into their older years, so I have familiarity with taking care of elderly pets as well. Currently I own two cats and they are my entire world. Oliver is 7 and Willow is 5. Oliver is low energy but incredibly cuddly and Willow is shy but incredibly energetic when she sees a toy she loves.

Curtis was great with our cats! Very communicative and made us feel great while we were out of the country.

Curtis was professional and prompt. He took good care of our senior cat, administering medicine and following a precise diet regimen. He was highly communicative and sent some great photos of her while we were away. We will definitely hire him again.

Curtis was so patient with my cat Ruby! I know she can get anxious when I'm not around and he was able to handle all of her big feelings. I definitely recommend Curtis especially if you have a cat who struggles being around new people.
