About: I have always been surrounded by kitties (for the most part short-haired cats) and I am well accustomed on how to attend to them. I am attentive, caring and patient. I also have a fur baby of my own who I love deeply even though she is a troublemaker haha. I also enjoy playing with them and keeping them entertained. I am happy to care for your beloved fur babies I would be available to pet sit from 10am to 7pm, mostly everyday except for Sunday, which would only be 12pm to 5pm. I am also pretty flexible with my schedule so I am understanding of any emergencies and can make exceptions for days/hours, just feel free to ask me !! I would prefer to pet sit from your home. I have my own pet and she is a little anxious so it would not be comfortable for her if I bring a friend to my home. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for their physical health like; brushing teeth, grooming, cleaning their paws and moisturizing, clipping their nails, cleaning their ears, wiping their private parts to make sure they are clean etc. I enjoy playing with cats and keeping them entertained to make sure they are not bored and can help with their development as they grow. I would also make sure their environment is clean. I also would prefer to have detailed notes of who your cat is, what they cat like and dislike, any disabilities etc. This way I am completely informed on how to care for them.
“Danielle was amazing and communicative. She took great care of our 3 cats while we were away. Her daily visits made sure they were fed, had water, and clean litter boxes! She’s the best!”
About: Hi! I'm looking for new wonderful pets to walk and take care of! I have taken in four rescues, all with different special physical and behavioral needs. I currently have two Pitbull mixes, one Lab mix, and a multiple tropical aquariums! Caring for animals has been a passion of mine since I was young. A favorite activity of mine is taking my dogs to local forest preserves where they can play and exert their energy. I can administer eye drops, pills, and ointments to pets as my own have different medications that they need on a regular basis. I have also taken classes in care for companion animals. Special needs animals have a forever place in my heart because I believe that every pup or cat deserves to enjoy life to the fullest! Whether that is hiking at a trail, swimming in a lake, or curling up on the couch- I'd love to help them do that! Currently very open for scheduling. Stays for over a week will have to be discussed as I do have to ensure time to take care of my own animals. I do not host animals in my own home, but I am adaptable to a variety of routines and activities you and your pet would enjoy.
“Very pleased with Kaitlyn service. We will definitely call her again , very knowledgeable on how to take care of my pets , took pictures of my pets for us to see them and kept me informed about how they were doing. Thank you Kaitlyn”

Same goes for cats, I ensure they have everything they need to thrive independently and also take the time to give them enrichment time! Playing with toys or anything the cat seems comfortable with! Working full time and off by 3pm! I have the rest of the afternoon/ evening to drop in and make sure your pets are cared for! I make sure your pets are safe and are provided with all the food and care they need. I follow directions and make sure the pet feels comfortable and is happy.

About: I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved. I work part-time on the night shift, so I'm usually out of the house between 9:30pm and 2am Monday through Friday. Outside of that- my schedule is flexible. I am available on most weekends and holidays. I only book one client at a time for pet sits and boarding, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a huge, unfenced yard. I own a variety of animal care supplies and equipment.
About: I’m a compassionate and experienced pet caregiver with 8 years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds—from tiny kittens and puppies to large, high-energy dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I take pride in providing patient, attentive, and personalized care. I have experience with puppy delivery and newborn care, which has given me a strong foundation in gentle handling, close monitoring, and supporting pets during important early stages of life. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks, litter care, medication, or simply providing calm companionship, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and love. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a stress-free, nurturing environment so both pets and owners can feel completely at ease while they’re in my care 🤍🐶🐱 Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my day to prioritize feedings, walks, playtime, and quality time so each pet receives consistent, attentive care in a calm and loving environment. I care for pets by following their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide attentive care including feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, medication if needed, and lots of love. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and treating every pet like family.
About: I have the most experience caring for kittens and cats of all ages and temperaments. I currently have three cats, each with their own unique age and personality, so I’m comfortable understanding and adapting to different needs. I’ve also owned a dog in the past and have experience providing short-term boarding for both dogs and cats. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re with me. I am currently at home full time, so I have plenty of free time to care for your fur babies. My weekend availability may vary from time to time based on personal travels but am available most weekends! I have 3 female cats in my home currently, all are spayed and up to date on shots. They all are cat & dog friendly - some more curious than others as to be expected but I can always separate my cats from the main living area if needed. I have a yard and plenty of walking paths but not fenced in so a leash will be needed.
About: Since being a little girl I have had many pets. I’ve taken care of parrots, bunnies, dogs, and cats which have given me so many wonderful memories! Taking care of pets and showing them love is what we enjoyed the most! I work from home the majors of the time so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pet. My dad and my teenagers also love playing and caring for our little friends and gives them loves of love! I have a big house and a huge yard for you pups to play around and a small shi tzu to keep your pup company.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life. Close family friends have trusted me to watch their animals for them. I love animals so much and enjoy their time. I’m currently home from school. I have plenty of spare time on my hands. Animals are the perfect people spend my time with away from school. I have a friendly small dog named Roscoe who loves to play with other dogs. When I’m in the pets home I will cater to their needs. I love to play and I love to go on nice long walks.
“Kaelyn was absolutely wonderful, scheduled the meet and greet quickly, my fur baby, Juicy, loved her. She sent photos every day, and I could see she was so comfortable with her. Made my trip away from my Juice so much easier to tolerate. Will be booking her moving forward whenever needed. Highly recommend. Juice and I thank you, Kaelyn!”
“Claire bonded well with my cats. She followed feeding instructions and other care suggestions. She is friendly and outgoing and communicates well during visit updates. I highly recommend her for needed pet care.”
“As expected, Maribel took great care of our little furball 🐈⬛ Maribel is reliable, consistent, trustworthy, and punctual and it puts our mind at ease to know we can always count on her. Her short stories about her adventures with our Umbra are hysterical and we look forward to our next booking with her!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, dogs, cats, ferrets, rats, bearded dragons and ball pythons. I have a lot of experience and can easily take care of your pet or pets. I currently work full time in Burr Ridge from 8 AM to 4 PM. I’m available after work and on the weekends to care for your fur babies. I can easily adjust to your pet or pets schedule. I can take them for walks or hangout with them in a fenced yard. I can stick to your feeding schedule and I can also give medicine if needed.
“Amazing! Grace followed instructions & took the very best care of my shy girl Megatron! :) Megatron was super comfortable around Grace & was so well taken care of! Thank you Grace!”
About: I’ve been a cat parent for years and currently have two sweet cats of my own. Bubbles is my 6-year-old tuxedo, and Baybee is 7. Baybee was declawed by a previous owner, so I’ve learned to be extra gentle and mindful of her comfort and the way she moves around. Having my own cats has taught me that every cat is different. Some want lots of love and attention, while others need a little more time and space to feel comfortable. I’m very patient and always try to let cats come to me at their own pace. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, cuddles, and keeping up with their normal routine. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I would treat your cats with the same love, care, and attention I give Bubbles and Baybee. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m able to make pet care a consistent part of my routine. I can provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also available on many evenings and weekends and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I treat every pet like they were my own and always follow the owner’s instructions closely. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, and medications are handled carefully, and I pay attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know your pet is safe and doing well.

I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for my kitties than Shayna T. From the start, she communicated clearly and sent frequent updates along with great pictures of my cats relaxing and playing. It made being away so much easier knowing they were in such loving and reliable hands. Thank you, Shayna!
Katherine took exceptional care of my cats while I was away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. My cats were happy, well-fed, and clearly received plenty of attention. I would absolutely trust Katherine again and highly recommend her services.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
