Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, on time, attentive
Hi! I’m Shanjali, a Chicago-based business owner with pets of my own back home so I know what it’s like to worry about them while you’re away, and I treat every pet I sit for with that same care. I have references here in Chicago who can speak to my reliability, and I’m someone who shows up exactly when I say I will. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box care, medication, and playtime. I’ll send photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I run my own business here in Chicago, so managing details and keeping commitments is second nature to me. Your pet in good hands.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Shanjali was so good with Lucy! She understood her needs, was flexible with drop-off and pickup times, and kept us updated with pictures. She looked very cozy during her stay!
Shanjali is wonderful with my pet—kind, attentive, and very dependable. She genuinely cares about animals and makes sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’d absolutely trust her with my pet and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
She is absolutely amazing! She pet sat my cat, Yoshi, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such caring and reliable hands. She was attentive, responsible, and genuinely treated him like her own. Yoshi was happy and well cared for, and I would absolutely trust her to pet sit again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and loving with their pets!
Incredible!
Shanjali was great with my pet! They got along so well that I’m pretty sure my pet was ready to move in with her 😂 Super caring, responsible and clearly loves animals. Would definitely recommend her!
I’m happy to recommend Shanjali as a responsible and caring pet caregiver. She truly loves animals and always makes sure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of.

Schedule
I’ve spent years caring for cats beyond my own household I’ve coordinated spay/neuter for numerous stray cats in my neighborhood and have brought sick or injured strays to the vet for treatment.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
This hands-on experience means I’m comfortable handling pets who are scared, sick, or slow to trust a new person, and I know how to spot when something’s off health-wise and needs attention. Whether your pet is a cuddly lap pet or a shy one who needs space, I’ll give them the patience and care they deserve.
A typical day
A typical day starts with fresh food and water, then playtime with wand toys or a laser pointer to get their energy out. I’ll do a grooming session if they enjoy it, check the litter box, and end with quiet cuddle time on the couch.
