Top rated Oak Park cat sitters
“Krystin is the best! She takes time to spend with each of the animals and has a pure attention to details. My 3 girls were being picky eaters and she made sure to let me know, and went above and beyond trying different foods until they were satisfied! You’ll know you pets are in good hands when she takes care of them😻”
“Erin is absolutely wonderful. She was so kind and patient with our cat and went above and beyond to communicate with us while we were away. We are so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her services!!”
“Sierra was the sweetest sitter for our 2 babies. I didnt worry at all while we were gone, she took great care of them, gave them lots of love & the highlight were the daily pics❤️. I will definitely use her services again! Thanks again Sierra🥰”
“Savannah has been an actual life saver! Keeping my girls well looked after when we got stuck outside of town after Helene, and helping my heart feel safe while I couldn't get back to them. I can't be more thankful for Savannah !!!”
“Chloe was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our boys - making sure they were fed, giving treats, scooping the litter, and even bringing in our mail without being asked. That extra thoughtfulness meant so much. Most impressively, she got our shy cat Fred to come out of hiding, which is no small feat! We felt totally at ease knowing our pets and home were in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“Jennie is absolutely wonderful! She is so thorough with every visit and her communication is incredible. She gives the most detailed summaries and tons of photos along with them. She is so flexible and even went the extra mile to help us navigate getting home safely during the storm. I’d choose her again and again to care for my babies.”
“Bali did a great job with Georgie. She made sure to reach out with any questions and sent some of the most beautiful pictures of him and their play time. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Devin was phenomenal. She was super flexible with us when our travel plans were upended due to the airline crowdstrike issue. She sent us detailed (and funny!) updates on every visit with Paul and a nice batch of photos each time. She really went above and beyond with his care. We will absolutely plan to have her take care of Paul again! She earned his trust super quickly - we could tell in the photos how happy he was to be with her.”
“Teal watched my 15 year old cat while I was out of town. He’s pretty shy but would hang out with her for pets and cuddles. She sent lots of pictures and notes from her visits and let me know of anything out of the ordinary. I’d definitely have her watch him again!”
“Having just recently moved to the area, we didn’t have a local friend to take care of our cat, Steve, and we were initially a bit nervous about using someone we didn’t know. However, Susan was FANTASTIC! She came to meet us and our cat before our trip, which put us totally at ease since she was so friendly and kind to Steve and didn’t bat an eye at his feeding instructions. She showed up on time each day and sent us a nice visit recap and some funny action pictures of her playing with him. Would 100% recommend her to anyone.”
“2nd booking with Chloe. She went above and beyond again for our cats (and us) while we were out of town visiting family for the holidays. Couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves if we didn’t have her watching over everything for us while we were away. W”
“Aubrey was absolutely wonderful going above and beyond anything I said to not only take care of my pup, but provide a personal touch as well. Aubrey's experice certainly shows. Not only was she timely, but also flexible. I would hire her again.”
