About: Hi there! My name is Katherine and I look forward to meeting you and your furry loved ones! 🐰I’m a proud bunny mom to a 2-year-old holland lop, so I know how delicate and special rabbits are. I understand their unique needs—from diet to behavior and safety—and always provide gentle, attentive care. Rabbits have a special place in my heart, and I’d love to care for yours like one of my own. 🐱I volunteer regularly at a local animal shelter, where I help socialize cats—gently getting them used to people and giving them time to stretch, play, and feel safe outside their cages. For drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your kitty is fed, watered, litter box freshened, and, of course, spoiled with attention and play—whatever keeps those purrs going! 🐶I’ve also cared for small and medium-sized dogs, energetic puppies, and even a curious little ferret! Whether it’s a cuddle session, a walk around the block, or making sure meals and meds are on schedule, I’m here to keep tails wagging and paws happy. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can accommodate multiple visits or walks throughout the day, depending on what works best for you and your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely and treat your home with respect. Whether it’s feeding, walks, litter care, or playtime, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved—and I’m always happy to share updates while you’re away!
About: I have grown up always having a dog and being an intergal part of taking care of them. I have also been able to help relatives in assisting with care of their dogs when out of town. 2 years ago I adopted my own pup Bailey. She's my world! I currently am a student. My schedule is full time Monday-Thursday however I have time in the mornings/evenings and during lunch breaks when I am able to walk your pup as well as weekends! Currently Bailey and I live in Oak Park. She gets many walks throughout the day (during my lunch breaks and in mornings/evenings) and loves to go on my runs with me! She also gets frequent visits to her grandparents house where she plays with their dogs.
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoyed helping take care of family and friends’ pets. I’m gentle, responsible, and always treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply giving them attention, I always make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I’m currently not working full-time, so I have flexible availability throughout the week. I’m happy to care for pets during the day or evening, depending on your needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll be there to help! I provide a calm and safe environment with lots of love and attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, making sure each pet feels secure and cared for. I’m happy to care for pets in your home or mine, depending on what’s best for your furry friend.
About: Hi, I’m Jeff! I’ve been walking dogs since I was 13 and caring for big dogs since I was 22. After my family’s beloved big dog passed, I realized how much I missed having pups in my life, which led me to start walking and sitting dogs for others. Every dog I walk becomes like a brother or sister to me. I have three years of professional experience and a deep knowledge of the Oak Park area, ensuring safe, fun, and enriching walks. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs in real time, and I provide clear, timely updates so you know how your pup is doing, including any potential needs I notice. Whether it’s dog walking, sitting, or check-ins, your dog will be cared for with love, respect, and clear communication. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and giving them the care they deserve! I’m currently working part time, and have a few pups already on my schedule. I am available for early day walks (7:00am - 9:30am) all week, and Sunday from noon - 2:30pm. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I only provide care at your home, ensuring your pup stays in their familiar environment where they feel secure and relaxed. Before I leave each visit, I make sure your dog is calm, has fresh water, and is settled. I double-check that all doors are locked, leashes and supplies are put away properly, and your home is secure. You can trust that your dog is safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away.

Cindy is fantastic! She was very communicative with our four cats and me. She went above and beyond the call of duty in her care, particularly when my cats missed the litter box. I would highly recommend her.🤩
Caroline was fantastic! She took excellent care of our St. Bernard while we were away. She’s a great communicator as well. Highly recommend.
Coleen was awesome with our two senior cats! We were a little worried leaving them with someone new, but the cats had nothing but pawsome feedback. Both kitties are on medications and very demanding, and Coleen exceeded all expectations. Coleen was quick to respond to any questions and provided thorough details of each visit along with a plethora of photos showing the kitties in their natural habitat which was really helpful. We came home, the house was in one piece, looked a little better than before we left, cats were happy, not overly stressed, had plenty of food and water. What a relief to have someone we can count on to watch our fur babies. I would not hesitate to schedule with Coleen again, as she was stellar! Thank you for looking after our two cats!! We will absolutely book again!
If I could give more stars, I would! The attention and care that she gave our cats was on the level that someone would give their own cats. We felt so comfortable knowing that our cats were in such great hands and appreciate the detailed updates and many photos of our babies. Highly recommend to anyone!
I intend this to be a glowing review for Wendy! Wendy went above and beyond what I had expected. She went out of her way to bring toys and treats to draw my 2 cats out to her so that she could monitor and relay how they were eating. This had been my area of biggest concern. i am so grateful to Wendy for her initiative and caring and would give her my highest recommendation. Nugget and Zeke's Mom
Alma is a wonderful cat sitter! She sends informative updates and takes fantastic photos of our cat, Luna. She really takes the time to get to know your pet and makes sure they are having the best time possible.
My first time getting a pet sitter and Abigail was great! Mello warmed up to her pretty fast, she went above and beyond and appreciated her so much!
Karolly is so wonderful! This is our 2nd time having her over while we were out and she was just as amazing as the last time. She made sure our little Winona got plenty of love and play every day, and she made sure to share lots of pictures and videos of our cat being a cutie. Our personal vacation had some issues but no matter what was happening we knew things were going well at home with Karolly keeping an eye on our sweet girl.
Thank you so much!!!!! I’m glad he came out of hiding and hung out with you, he looks very well taken care of!!
Robyn took great care of our cat while we were out of town. We got daily updates with pictures and videos that put us at ease. Robyn was easy to work with and our cat was very comfortable around her. I would highly recommend her as a sitter!
Melanie is an excellent, trustworthy, conscientious sitter. She is proactive and an excellent communication. Highly recommend her!
Robin takes great care of our cat, Luna, when we are away. She sends plenty of photos and updates so we know Luna is well cared for!
It's always hard to leave a pet, and I'm thankful for Heather taking care of Steve while we were on vacation. Her daily check-in provided so much peace of mind. We came back to a happy and healthy cat!
Natalie was an absolute dream! She took great care of Miss Kitty while we were away. She was very communicative during her check-ins and we especially appreciated all of the great photos she sent. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!
Yulissa was incredibly attentive with my cat. He unfortunately got sick just before we were leaving on a trip but she was able to give him all his medicine without issues. Highly recommend her to look after your furry loved ones!
So sweet and dependable!!! 10/10 would recommend! She came at a short notice and was very responsive and professional. If you need a sitter who is a real animal lover and reliable please book with Miriam!
Alicia took great care of our cats for us while we were overseas. She kept us updated and sent us pictures of them everyday. One of our cats requires a daily inhaler and she had no problem administering it. Would definitely recommend!
Lydia was amazing! She gave us detailed updates and pictures of our cat. She was punctual and responsive to any questions we had. I would highly recommend!
Madison was great. She was on-time, attentive, and communicated and questions on her first time doing a drop in visit. We can’t wait to have her back again.
Aya came highly recommended from another rover sitter that we normally use when going out of town (our reg sitter was also going out of town) so we reached out to Aya- and we are happy we did! She was super responsive and you can tell she loves animals. Thank you Aya for letting us have peace of mind knowing our fur babies were in good hands while we were away 😻
