House Sitting Oak Park Southwest

“Lulu was an amazing housesitter for our two kitties. The level of care and attention she provided far exceeded our expectations. We received regular updates and pics of our fur babies which really helped with our anxiety of leaving them behind. She is a very kind and caring person and our kitties just loved having her stay with them. I would highly recommend Lulu and I am so grateful we found her to help care for our kitties when we must be gone!!”

“We've used Mirette twice now to house-sit/dog-sit our older Westie, and she did a great job! She was great at communicating with us and was at the house the vast majority of the time with our dog, which we loved! The house was clean when we got home and we had no issues! We would recommend Mirette, and would definitely use her again the next time we travel!”

About: In a dog eat dog world, I have helped family and friends with their dogs and cats. Along with that I grew up in cat household throughout my childhood. I have experience with playing with and loving dogs, especially my grandmother's dog during my middle school and high school years. I've had to pet sit for friends for their cat within the last year. That responsibility included feeding the cat since he was an outside cat. But as a previous cat owner I know how to change a litter box and not let the cat think it is the god of the house. In addition to that, I've gone to a relative's house to let her dog out to the use the bathroom and fed him. As a full time preschool instructional assistant, I have early evening availability during Wed through Friday and weekend availability to come look after and play with your furry friends.

About: I’ve loved animals of all kinds since I was a kid! For the last 8 years I have worked as a veterinary assistant working hands on with pets of all kinds including anxious pets, special needs pets, and geriatric pets. I’m comfortable giving medications or following specific directions for pets that need just a little more attention. I of course love pets of all ages whether that’s playing with young pets or giving older pets more accommodations. I’m currently working part-time at an animal clinic, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pet! I go for walks twice daily already and your pet would make a perfect addition! I live in an apartment with my 13 year old cat, Juliet. Juliet is a very sweet cat but will typically hide when other pets are boarded in the home. My apartment is located in the Volker neighborhood with parks and plenty of walking trails nearby. For in home boarding, pets are welcome on my furniture including the bed. I am happy to follow any and all requests for boarding / caretaking inside your home, including giving medications either orally or injectables.

“As always, Vanessa did a wonderful job watching our greyhound mix. She even arrived at our house early due to an impending storm which gave me peace of mind that our dog who's anxious with storms would be as comfortable as possible. I greatly appreciate her flexibility and care!”

“Emma stayed with my cat Patrick for a week while I was in another state for work. Patrick needs some special attention and takes daily medication. She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!”

“Kayla always takes such great care of our fur babies. She’s great with communication and genuinely loves animals. Our place is always spotless after our stay and she’s willing to go above and beyond. Thanks again for taking such great care of our home and fur babies!”

“Rachel did an amazing job with our dogs. We were able to enjoy our vacation, knowing she was taking such good care of them. We got daily updates, with pictures. She gladly brought in mail and watered plants for us. She is very accommodating and fit us in to her schedule. She was able to pop in for 3 afternoons visits before her time here started when our son wasn’t able to get here during the day to let them out. We will definitely be calling her for future jobs! She’s a gem!!”

Laura S.

“Abby was fabulous she gave our dogs extra special care and she did a wonderful job taking care of them. We look forward to having Abby watch our furry friends again almost as much as they do. 10 stars”

“Jonathan was thorough and professional once again! One of our dogs has severe anxiety and Jonathan took the time to revisit our pets to ensure an easy stay. Thank you for loving our pets this past weekend!”

About: I’ve been owned by several (rescue) dogs and a few cats. Am capable a caring for multiple pets in household. Have lived with 3 dogs for several years. I’m good with all animals and have a tendency to make a critter calm. Senior dogs are a specialty and regular medications are no problem. Done a lot of house sitting for pets and home security. Day care and overnights easy as I am retired with only a few obligations with my time. I am retired so an abundance of time is available. I do have a commitment to sit with a dog and two cats every Wednesday. I feed/walk/play with two dogs every evening and a long walk on Saturday afternoon. I clean a home once a month on my schedule. I am involved in my church (Sunday worship and once a month vestry meetings). If you desire overnight stays or extended visits I’m able to do that as long as leaving for above mentioned obligations works with your pet. My specialty is senior dogs. I prefer smaller dogs as I am older fella and wouldn’t want to lose grip walking or caring for large dogs. Feeding/walks/medications not a problem If doing check ins I am punctual and trustworthy in your home.

“Lori goes above and beyond to care for our pups. She also house sits and we can hardly tell she’s been here. She takes wonderful care of everything.”
