Cat Sitting in Morton

“In case I didn't send my review, I will reiterate that we love Kristal and so do our cats Earl and Dudley. Kristal does a super job taking care of our boys. We travel with friends and visit family and we never worry about their welfare. Kristal's photos and videos assure us that all is well at home. Our cats are so comfortable with Kristal that they continue to watch for her long after we have returned home! We would recommend Kristal to anyone needing pet care. She was an answer to our prayers and we couldn't be happier.😻😻”

“She was a great person to come see my cats. I'd call myself and pets on the higher maintenance type of situation and she was able to hand it all like a champ. She had to medicate 2 of them and was successful, spending how ever much time she needed to get them to take their meds. Very communicative and able to follow directions!”

“Brooke is the best pet sitter ever 😻😸. She took care of our cat, Iva, while we visited our daughter. Every day we received lots of pictures and videos of Iva eating, playing, and cuddling. Iva was calm and happy when we returned. She even checked my plants for me!”

“Jesse was super communicative and helpful! Thank you!”

About: I've always been the family member my family could call on to take care of their dogs when they were out. I've walked/been walked by an energetic husky, I've looked after a blind/deaf elderly shih tzu, I've spent hours playing with a cuddly golden retriever, and now I want to help take care of your pets. My schedule is fairly free for weekday/weekend care, earlier in the morning would work better for me but if you need me to come over at the evening/night time, I'd be more than happy to do so. My drop-ins involve a quick to-do list to take care of the basics (any food bowl, water, or potty attention), followed by playtime until I can ensure your pet is happy and satisfied. If you'd like me to have some photos of your pet whether I'm doing in home care or taking them for a walk, let me know and if there's an opening, I'll gladly snap a few photos for you on my phone!

About: I just love animals and want to help take care of them. This is my second job and my availability is variable. My schedule is iffy so I may be able to watch your pets. I’m a young adult looking to get some extra money. I have dog sat before for neighbors and friends but I haven’t done a lot of the overnight stuff. Mostly I just have let dogs out and walk them and if you have special needs I can usually do those. I am very energetic, caring, and love dogs, but I don’t have one due to my parents. I am hoping to eventually own a dog. I can’t wait to work for you and help take care of your best friends! I’m currently working full time and available to let dogs out before and after work and on my lunch break. I also typically have Sunday and Monday off until my schedule changes in August. I am typically used to drop in and walking dogs but I’ve also dog sat once or twice overnight. Usually I’m just dog sitting for friends and family but looking to branch out!

“Lola was very accommodating and even though she was very busy in her home life, she was still able to stop by and visit our cat. We highly recommend her to others :)”

“Jackie was great at communicating with me. Really appreciated all the photos, notes, and timely visits! Will definitely ask her to help again!”

“Katherine was super nice and a great cat sitter! She took lots of pictures of my kittens for me and even swept up cat litter when my cats made a bit of a mess. Would definitely rebook with her!”

About: Hello fellow animal lovers! My name is Jaci and i am a dog mom of 2. I know how important it is to find someone who will love your fur babies as much you do. I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I volunteer off and on for the animal shelter which I absolutely love! I am a very active person and enjoy walking and running around with my fur babies as well as yours. I am experienced with all types of dogs from big to small, young and old and diffrent temperaments. My 9 year girl I rescued at about a week and half years old from being stranded and had to bottle feed her. So I am experienced with extensive care like bottle feeding and giving medicine/shots to dogs. So your pups will be in very good hands with me. I can't wait to meet your 4-legged friend soon! I am currently only working part time so I will have a lot of time to dedicate the love, care and fun for your pups! I have a spacious fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can even crate your dog as well if needed.

“Jennifer W was great - extremely professional, punctual, caring, and detail oriented. I highly recommend her and we definitely hope to rely on her again!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every dog like they’re my own. I have experience caring for puppies, high-energy breeds, and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. Whether it’s training a new pup or giving meds to an older dog, I make sure each pet gets personalized, safe, and loving care. My home is a calm, dog-friendly space, and I’m all about keeping tails wagging and owners worry-free! Ive grown up with pets and they were a big part of my daily life. Feeding, walking, grooming, and just spending time with them were all built into my routine. It taught me responsibility from a young age, and I really enjoyed the companionship. I definitely look forward to having pets again in the future when the timing is right. "When I cared for pets at home growing up—and when helping friends or neighbors—I always made sure their basic needs were met first: feeding, fresh water, regular potty breaks, and exercise. I paid close attention to their routines and any specific instructions, especially when helping in someone else's home. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and loved, whether that’s sticking to their walk schedule, administering medication if needed, or just giving them plenty of playtime and affection. Cleanliness and communication are also big priorities for me when caring for pets in someone else's space.

“Very patient with my shy kitty, she eventually warmed up to them! Friendly and responsive to questions, drop ins went smoothly. Even brought in a package that came while I was out. No hesitation, Will use them again!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and started helping with their care at age 10. Though the last 12 years have truly deepened my experience and love for animal care. Currently, I share my home with four cats and a German Shepherd/Husky puppy! Over the years, I’ve had the honor of caring for pets with special needs, both my own and those of friends and loved ones. My puppy and I have completed two 6-week training courses with Canine Initiative – and yes, we still practice those skills daily (with varying levels of success depending on how many squirrels we’ve seen that day). One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for my border collie, Nina, after a serious injury. She needed help walking with a harness, regular cleaning, medications, vet visits, and lots of love. After 2.5 months of dedicated care, she was back on her feet, and we were lucky to share two more wonderful years together. I also cared for her through a late-in-life diabetes diagnosis, which included daily insulin and increased mobility support. I’ve administered medications to dogs including insulin, ear drops, and oral meds, and I’m especially mindful about keeping pets calm and comfortable during care routines. I’m always happy to learn your exact process — whether through an in-person tutorial or a video — to keep your dog’s stress to a minimum. I’m open to caring for dogs with medical or physical needs, with the understanding that for mobility support using a harness, I’m most experienced with dogs 45 lbs. or less. That said, I’m absolutely comfortable walking and caring for dogs over 50 lbs. as long as they are well-mannered on a leash. While I may not be the strongest person physically, I’m confident with larger dogs who don’t pull or lunge too much. If your pup is a gentle giant, we’ll get along just fine on walks! My youngest (age 12) and I work great together playing and giving positive attention to dogs. She has attended most of the dog training classes with me and shown an interest in attending more. If you would prefer myself only, I completely understand! Should your animal need urgent care and I am able to take them to the vet, we are very familiar and close with Morton Animal Hospital and Banfield Pet Hospital. I cannot recommend them enough! If more assistance is needed than the general care/dog walking, I will adjust the rate and will be happy to discuss this with you. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions! I am currently off for the summer and will have various appointments and activities to do with my children and animals. I am able to adjust my schedule at this time but will let you know if I have anything scheduled during the days needed. I understand sometimes extra or unexpected trips are needed to check on your pet. At this time, I am off for the summer and am able to provide care throughout the day for my own pets. Depending on your dogs activity level, I would prefer to care for your dog at your home due to my dogs young and energetic puppy self, as well as my four indoor cats. Should it work out with bringing your dog to my home and remaining outside with me, I do live on a busy street in town and do experience unsafe, fast driving cars at times (Idlewood). With that said, our yard is completely fenced in, though our back and front fence is 5 ft. in height. Larger, escape artist dogs may have the ability to hop the fence and if that is a concern, I would rather not risk bringing your dog to my home.

About: I have animals of my own and 15 years of experience helping with other animals. I would love to take your dogs for walks or give them some play time throughout the day. I'm open to watching your animals over night too (boarding can be scary). I'm a social worker and off for summer break. I have a lot of free time throughout the day which allows me to meet your dog or cats needs! I have a big yard but we have a underground fence. I will use a leash to let the dogs out. I have a 1 month old Black Lab that is full of energy along with a 1 year old cat who is very energetic. Both animals are good with people and other pets as well. I am willing to take your dog for walk, appointments, give some attention etc.
