Pet Sitting in Northfield

About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life and currently have 7 cats and 2 dogs at home. I’m very experienced with feeding, cleaning, medication routines, and understanding different pet personalities. I treat every pet with patience, care, and genuine love. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on pet care. I carefully plan my visits to make sure each pet gets attention, feeding, cleaning, and playtime without feeling rushed. I respect each client’s home and follow all care instructions closely. I always double-check doors, food portions, and routines. I’m calm, patient, and prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being at every visit.

“Donna and her husband Stephen are clearly animal lovers. They were passionate about ensuring our furry family members were taken care of in our absence. They took our feeding instructions seriously and provided playtime, petting and love to each of our cats. We loved the regular updates and pictures they sent to us and when we got back from our vacation, our cats were all healthy and happy. What a relief to find pet sitters whom we can depend on and who get what it takes to help keep pets feeling secure when their owners are away. Thank you so much!!!”

“Paige was wonderful! She kept me regularly updated on how my cats were doing and truly cared for their well-being. She was attentive and proactive! She messaged me about closing a window before a hot day, which I really appreciated. She even took the time to clean the dust bin of my vacuum robot! My cats are usually very shy, but Paige was so gentle and patient that she managed to earn their trust.”

“Amy did a great job checking on our two cats while we were out of town. She was very attentive to the cats needs and we could tell they got lots of affection and play time during Amy’s visits. We highly recommend and plan to book with Amy in the future.”

“Rosy is such an exceptional cat sitter! She took care of our two cats for a week and was extremely responsive, kind, and considerate to our cats and our home. Every day she would craft such beautifully written rover cards about what the cats were up to with lots of pictures and videos. Our two cats take a bit to warm up to new people but they had a new friend by the end of her visits. Additionally, her experience with founding and running her own cat rescue is so amazing! Rosy is our #1 choice for cat sitting in the future-- we can't recommend Rosy enough!”

“Bill was great with our 2 labs. He is clearly a dog lover. We look forward to using him for our dog care needs!”

“I am extremely happy with Isabela and her care of our two cats. We were away for close to two weeks and I was initially nervous about being gone that long. But, she took great care of them and sent daily updates and photos. I would highly recommend her and would be happy to use her again.”

About: I worked at a specialized pet store for many years. while there, i spent my time researching different pet products as well as taking care of the clients pets wether that’s walking the dogs or making sure they get fed at night while the parents are on vacation Pet care fits easily into my routine because I already keep a structured schedule as a college sophomore at Lewis University. When I am home on breaks, from December 13 to January 5, I have a lot of flexibility and I enjoy planning my day around caring for animals. I work at Duck Duck Goat in Chicago during school breaks, so I am used to being responsible, on time, and attentive to details. When I am home, I genuinely enjoy walking, feeding, and spending time with pets, and it fits naturally into my day. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow the routine they already know so they feel comfortable and secure. I keep their feeding, walking, and play schedules consistent and make sure they get plenty of attention and reassurance while you are away. I send updates and photos so you always know how they are doing. I treat your home with the same respect I give my own. I keep things tidy, follow any house rules you leave for me, and make sure your pet feels calm, safe, and cared for in their familiar space.

“Ella did amazing with the bunnies! was very attentive to them and communicated very well with me during my work trip. The pictures were so great as well, really making me feel like they were left in good hands. 10/10 as a pet sitter and would recommend.”

“Stephen and Donna did an excellent job walking our Great Pyrenees mix several times over a few weeks. You could feel their love for dogs from the moment we met them and they were very communicative and kind throughout the whole process. Our boy enjoyed and looked forward to his walks with them and we would definitely recommend and use their services in the future.”

About: Ever since I was a child, I have had a passion for dogs and animals of all sorts. Growing up in the Philippines, my relatives found it strange to have such compassion for animals. I'd always begged my parents for a dog while doing avid research and volunteering at pet-related jobs to prepare myself if my dream was to come true. When I was 17, my parents finally agreed to get a dog-- but not just any dog. I wanted my dream dog: an Alaskan Malamute. Huge, stubborn, and a daily shedder, it was a huge challenge I took on myself. However, this Malamute was well trained, house-broken, and friendly. I believe I can take care of a dog of any size, temperament, or history. I am a graduate from the University of Illinois in Chicago with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology/Sociology. I volunteered at the Chicago Canine Rescue downtown where we play and walk with shelter dogs. I have copious experience with boarding, walking, and overall loving dogs. As a past dog boarder, I understand the care and attention that just be given to a pup to create a trusting bond with them. For more pictures of our past clients and to get a better idea how I interact with your pup, check out this instagram: powerpuffdogs May have to step out a few times a day, or if I have an outing I would make sure your pup has had plenty of exercise and pets before leaving. I adhere as closely as possible to the pet’s existing schedule— routine is key! Other than that, if you are comfortable with it, I can take your dog on forest walls, dog parks, the dog beach, or on play dates with my own dogs!

“Andrew was wonderful. My two standard Poodles liked him right off the bat. He was communicative, punctual and always happy with a smile on his face even when it rained.”

Tanya H.

“Beyond grateful that I connected with Lauren and Lauren, and they could help with our cat while our entire family traveled together. Communication is always quick, clear, and helpful. They flagged every visit, and kept me updated with all the details from each house visit for our cat. Will absolutely keep them at the top of the list for any future needs!”

About: I have a half Australian shepherd half poodle named Luna! She’s been with me for 13 years since she was a puppy. I’ve grown up around dogs and cats since a young age and have lots of love towards them. They’re awesome and I’d love to help care for yours! I’m currently working a full time position that is predominately remote, with me having to go into the downtown office once a week. My schedule varies week by week. I am responsible and can hopefully get any special requests executed. I follow directions super well and am trustworthy. It’s scary having a stranger take care of your pet, I get it. They will be in special hands!

“Karen is great! Very flexible, responsive, and caring. We love that our pup loves her. We’ll definitely be calling on Karen again in the future. Thank you Karen!”
