Cat Sitting Oak Park

“Ariel is awesome. We are so lucky to have found her. She's been dropping in on our cat twice a day for the past month and has been on time every single day since the day she started. She has somehow gotten close to our cat who usually does not do well with new people and does a great job with everything we have her do. She's also one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. We can't recommend her more highly.”

“Sofia was so great! She took really great care of my cat Carl, who needs medicine and special food in the mornings. I got lots of photos of Carl while I was gone, and she even took my packages in and put my trash cans away. I would definitely recommend Sofia!! 💛”

“Debbie was a breeze to work with!!! Trustworthy, reliable, and conscientious. We felt comfortable leaving our furbaby with her while out of town recently. She was on top of all the tasks asked of her and even got our somewhat timid cat to warm up/play, which was more than we could’ve asked for. Highly recommend :)”

Eva M.

“We are so grateful for Beth!!! Our pup absolutely loved her right away. She was able to accommodate our schedule last minute- which was so helpful. Sent lots of pics and gave our pup so much love.”

Rebecca H.

“Ashleigh bonded beautifully with Tucci and Fredo, our two mischievous, sociable, boy cats. Her positive, reassuring messages allowed us to relax and enjoy our travels, knowing that our boys were in caring, responsible hands. Best of all, we came home to calm, happy kitties and a tidy welcoming house. She’s great.”

“Royal was extremely helpful and responsible. Thank you Royal!”

Wendy M.

“Highly recommend our amazing pet sitter/house sitter! She watched our two extremely spoiled cats over a long weekend and treated them like absolute royalty. She kept us updated, took fantastic care of our home, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Honestly, when we got home, our cats seemed mildly annoyed that SHE wasn’t walking through the door instead. That says everything. 😂 We are so grateful and have hired her again for the next vacation. Anyone would be lucky to have her caring for their pets!”

“Sierra was great with our two cats! She visited as scheduled, fed and played with our girls, and even picked up our mail and packages while we were out. We also appreciated the sweet photo updates from her visits. Wonderful experience working with her!”

“Heather is absolutely great with cats. She did a great job taking care of Boris. I left for 5 days, and he wasn't at all stressed out when I got home. Heather is great at communication. I would definitely book her again.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, but my experience is especially dog-focused now that I have two dogs of my own. I understand the importance of keeping dogs on their normal routines and giving them the individual attention, exercise, playtime, and care they need. I also started babysitting and pet sitting for friends and family around age 14, which gave me years of hands-on experience caring for other people’s pets. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calmer routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like one of my own. This summer, I am taking summer classes and watching dogs because I love pets and needed to fill my day with something I enjoy and thought spending time with animals would be the perfect way. My home is very comfortable i have a lot of fluffy blankets that let’s like to lay on as well as a window for sun bathing and living room to play in.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life from cats and dogs to bunnies and guinea pigs. My home was always privileged to have pets when I was growing up and now as an adult I’ve chosen to care for my own as well. I absolutely love animals and see them as more than just pets. These babies are family and I will always do my best to make sure your pet receives maximum comfort and care. I am skilled in caring for both young and old fur babies and I am able to follow any specific needs for whatever your baby requires. I currently work part-time so I have lots of time for drop-in visits or even several hours of care in your home. Please do not hesitate to contact me same-day if need be. I will do my best to accommodate your pet! Caring for your pets in your home is my main point of service. My goal is to be available to come drop-in or have an extended stay over the course of the day or night with your fur babies. I am able to follow feeding and potty break schedules and I can also administer medication if needed. Your fur babies will always feel safe and loved while under my care. I would never do anything to compromise the safety or trust of my clients or their pets. I understand that these animals are mentally and emotionally intelligent and I will always treat your booking as I’d like a sitter to treat mine.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up learning about their care through my father, a respected veterinarian. I’ve always had animals of my own and have also cared for the pets of close friends and family. I’m compassionate, attentive, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Weekday availability: Monday–Friday, mornings through 3:00 PM. Currently unavailable on weekends. I am a single mother of two. Student as I build my career. It would be such a pleasure to help you with Dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and loving companionship. I’m happy to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care the

About: I grew up with dogs, a cat, birds, guinea pigs and fish. I also had two amazing 17.5 year old cats that left on the rainbow bridge in 2021. I have professional experience sitting for cats, dogs, chickens in the US and Mexico. I am known for being an animal whisperer and have many 5 star reviews that I am happy to share with you. Just ask! I was home and pet sitting professionally full time from 2021 to 2024. I am now located in Kihei and work for myself so I can easily care for your animals while away. I love caring for and being around them. It's my intention to be a wonderful, accountable individual taking care of your pets or home as if they were mine. I take all of it very seriously. I always follow your guidelines. I have a tender heart for all but even moreso for animals.

“Helen was amazing! You can tell she really cares about bonding with pets. She gave us many updates and was very communicative. Don’t hesitate to book her, she’s very trustworthy!”

About: USE MY CODE MARISF01875 FOR $20 OFF BOOKING From growing up with pets to working in a vet hospital, animals have always been at the center of my world. While my job is mostly administrative, I’m lucky to connect with every fur baby that walks through our doors— and their humans too! I’ve picked up a lot of knowledge just by being in this environment, from understanding pet behavior to recognizing when something might need a professional’s attention. What sets me apart? I have direct access to veterinary care, and I’m well-versed in how to handle unexpected situations calmly and with care. Your pet will be treated like my own—whether that means a cozy walk, playtime, or simply being a comforting presence while you're away. I bring love, attention, and a little vet-clinic peace of mind to every visit. I work full-time at a veterinary hospital, which keeps me close to pets (and pet parents!) every day. I’m currently looking for sitting and drop-in opportunities near my workplace so I can stay close to both the job and your pet—making it easy for me to check in regularly and be nearby in case of anything urgent. On weekends, I’m fully available for more dedicated, around-the-clock care, whether that’s overnight stays, extended visits, or just extra snuggles and walks. I only offer pet care in the comfort of your pet’s home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow your care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, medication, or playtime—while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. My goal is to make every visit feel calm, loving, and familiar, so your pet feels comfortable even while you’re away.

About: I love dogs and most all other domestic animals and I plan to have a career working with animals. I would love to help care for your dog, take them on walks and spend time playing with them. I can’t wait to meet your precious pet! I’m 21 and currently a student at Northern Arizona University. During the summer and winter holidays, I’m back home with a pretty flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to help care for pets. I have a large fenced yard, as well as my mom and sister to give your pup some extra love. We also have 2 dogs and 2 cats who absolutely love meeting new doggy/kitty friends and can easily crate your dog if needed!

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of experience and genuine love for animals of all shapes and sizes! I’ve had dogs since I was nine years old and have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, having had three of my own. I understand the patience, attentiveness, and extra care that older pups sometimes need. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for two years, where I gained hands-on experience working with both puppies and adult dogs, helping me become comfortable with different personalities, temperaments, and needs. As a Marine Biology graduate, I’ve also spent years studying animal biology and welfare, alongside caring for a variety of animals throughout my life, including cats, hamsters, and even tarantulas! Whether your pup is a playful puppy, a gentle senior, or somewhere in between, I aim to provide attentive, compassionate care and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every animal as if they were my own! Having recently graduated with my MSc in Marine Biology, I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to accommodate pet care throughout the week. This allows me to be flexible with walks, drop-in visits, and pet-sitting arrangements. I’m happy to work around your pet’s individual routine, whether that means morning walks, afternoon visits, feeding times, or simply providing some company while you’re away. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so daily dog walks are something I genuinely look forward to! I understand how important consistency and routine are for animals, and I’ll always aim to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and gets plenty of attention while you’re away. I primarily offer pet care in my client’s home, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routines. I take the time to understand each animal’s individual needs, personality, and schedule to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. For dogs, this includes walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, and plenty of attention and affection. For cats, I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, enrichment, and companionship while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I also have experience administering medications and caring for senior pets, so I’m comfortable following specific care instructions, dietary requirements, medication schedules, and exercise limitations. Having volunteered at an animal shelter for two years, I’m familiar with animals of different temperaments and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. I believe communication is just as important as the care itself, so I’m always happy to provide regular photo updates and messages to keep owners reassured while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and make their time apart from you as comfortable and stress-free as possible!

“We had an excellent experience and couldn’t have been happier with the care our dog received. She was extremely reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout the entire time we were away. She kept us updated after every visit with great photos and messages, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She also frequently spent extra time with her beyond the scheduled visit, making sure she had plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. It was very clear that she wasn’t simply checking off a visit—she genuinely cared about her and wanted her to be happy and comfortable. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and everything had gone perfectly. It is a huge relief to find someone you can completely trust with your dog and your home while you’re away. We would absolutely book her again and recommend her without hesitation. Five stars!”

About: Thank you for considering me to care for your pets and your home! As a lifelong dog and cat lover, I’ve been fortunate to share my life with pets of all breeds, sizes, and ages—from playful puppies and curious kittens to senior companions who need a little extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I understand that every pet is unique, and I believe in caring for them according to their individual personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs extra playtime and exercise, a calm companion, medication, help with special care routines, or even transportation to a vet appointment, I’m happy to provide dependable and compassionate support. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same love, respect, and attention I would want for my own. I will carefully follow your instructions, routines, and guidelines to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals and caring for their needs. I’m someone who values consistency, patience, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for pets. I’m able to build my day around providing reliable care, including walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, medication, and any special routines your pet may need. I understand that pets thrive on routine, and I’ll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they’re used to while you’re away. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I take pride in giving pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I believe the best care starts with understanding each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, grooming, special needs, and any household guidelines you have. I’ll provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care while also respecting each pet’s boundaries and personality.

About: Hello, animal parents! I’m Taylor, a 36-year-old long-time professional animal and human caretaker with great references. I’m available for drop-in visits for cats, dogs, horses and other hoofed loved ones, as well as reptiles, amphibians, fish, and any other little critters. Need me to visit your tarantula? I would love nothing more. :) My partner and I have two cats, three dogs, and pond fish. I have many years of experience with senior cats and pups and administering medications. Happy to do some heavy lifting for pets with mobility challenges (up to 80lbs). I’m big on respecting animals’ boundaries, and know all the body language signs for dogs, cats, and horses. Bonus: my own beloved fur children and I have also completed many positive reinforcement dog training courses (so I won’t undo the progress you’ve made with your puppy)! Double bonus: natural horsemanship classes. In my spare time, I like to read, hike, play games, spend time with my human and animal loved ones, and volunteer at the LGBT Center. By day, I am a caregiver (to humans), a pet-sitter, and a social work student. I’m available for early morning and evening animal visits during the week, and morning, midday, and evening visits on the weekends. At this time, I am only available for drop-in visits. I am careful, respectful, and kind. I treat the animals temporarily under my care as I would want someone to care for my own fur children. By hiring me, you’re getting the benefit of the experience of an eldest child of five who cared for her siblings (and pets) in her teens, then dogs, cats, and horses professionally in her early 20s, and elderly patients (and so many more animals) in her 30s.
