Reliable River North Cat Sitter 🐈
Hi, I’m Sam! I’m a River North–based sitter offering reliable, walkable drop-ins for cats and small pets in the surrounding neighborhood. Since I work from home and live locally, I’m able to give your pets calm, consistent care without any weather or traffic delays. I’ve been caring for cats for years and have two of my own, so I understand routines, personalities, and how to keep even shy or sensitive cats comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet prefers playtime, snuggles, or a little space, I always meet them where they’re at. Each visit includes: • Fresh food & water • Litter box cleaning • Playtime or snuggles depending on your cat’s personality • Mail pickup & plant watering • Daily photo updates I offer 30-minute drop-ins and 1-hour premium visits for cats who love extra playtime or TLC. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re traveling or working long days, knowing your pet is cared for by someone dependable and nearby. I take pride in being respectful of your home and keeping things clean, tidy, and stress-free, just like I would want for my own pets. If you’re looking for a sitter who’s close by, communicative, and genuinely loves animals, I’d be happy to help.

Ratings and reviews
Samantha is always wonderful with the cats and we feel relaxed knowing she is taking good care of them.
Samantha always goes the extra mile to take care of my two kitties! She sends great updates and takes lots of cute photos, and I always know my two cats are in safe hands when she’s coming to check on them. I totally recommend Samantha to look after your pets too!
Samantha is always brilliant with the cats!
Samantha always goes above and beyond to take amazing care of my two kitties! She was kind enough to come in over the holidays to check on them. They can be hyper and a bit naughty (knocking things off the counter, shutting themselves into rooms), but she takes it all in stride and provides excellent care. I would absolutely recommend her to look after your pets too!
Samantha is my go to sitter! She is extremely responsive and reliable and sends detailed notes and tons of pictures. I highly recommend her!
Samantha always goes above and beyond to take care of my two cats! She’s the best and I will absolutely be asking her to come take care of them again!
