“I booked Faith for two 30 minute drop-ins while away from home and she would feed, pet, and do litterbox maintenance within an average 20-21 minutes. Thank you for caring for my pretty kitty Luna in my absence! (:”
“David is the best cat sitter we could ever ask for!! He is so considerate and thorough with our cats’ needs. A lot of people are on here for just dogs but are willing to watch cats-David is actually an incredible cat dad. He is responsive, a great communicator, and my cats love him. I would trust him with my animals any day!!”
“Heidi was really great! This was our first time using her. She did drop in visits for our cat. She came prior to meet our cat and go over instructions. She is very attentive. Played with our cat. Sent plenty of pictures. She was also very nice and personable. She also brought on our trash cans on trash day and our mail when we had some which was not something we asked her to do! So I really appreciate that she did that! Will definitely use Heidi again for cat sitting!”
“Kyra took great care of my 2 cats! She did exactly what was asked and sent some great photos. She is trustworthy and reliable. I will rebook her next time I need help with the fur babies!”
“I could not have asked for a better sitter!! We were worried to leave our cat as he had been throwing up every time a friend would pop in on him and feed him and he seemed right at home with Melissa and didn't stress puke! Got pictures and text updates and felt so reassured leaving him with her while we were gone!! We can’t recommend her enough!”
“Mage was so wonderful at communicating with us, sending photos and updates of our old lady cat. We could enjoy our holiday knowing our kitty was in good hands! 10/10 would definitely recommend Mage for pet sitting :)”

About: I have two friendly cats and backyard chickens. I have had cats and dogs for most of my life. I go trail hiking at local forest preserves and state parks 2-4 times a week and would love to take your dog with me! I only have one dog guest at a time (unless they are from the same home) so I can give them lots of care and attention and provide you with regular updates and photos. You will know your pet is being well looked after. My goal is to make your pet feel like it is on a fun vacation while you are on a fun vacation. Nothing makes me happier than dogs I've cared before, coming back and pulling on their leash to come into my house on their next visit! I only work half-time so I have plenty of time for pets. I know how important your pet is to you and I'm very responsible. My dog guests are walked at least three times a day including a walk or hike of 30 minutes or longer. They are also able to use my fenced in backyard when the chickens are locked up for the night .
About: I am a 5 year experienced veterinary technician who has worked primarily with small animals in multiple practices across the United States. I am currently enrolled in veterinary medical school pursuing my doctorate at UIUC in their college of veterinary medicine. In addition, I am a life-long pet owner myself! I grew up with dogs in a variety of sizes, as well as cats. As a veterinary student, I have classes in the morning and sometimes afternoon. This should not be a concern as I still have plenty of time to watch pets! We have multiple breaks through the day and I own a car. Classes never extend past 4:00 pm. So, I can travel to your pet and am fully open in evenings for long walks! I care for pets in the owners home! As a veterinary student, I am living in an apartment which is not always the appropriate place for watching certain large-sized dogs. I also have a cat of my own who is terrified of dogs!
About: Walking, medications, grooming, or just company, I am the ONE to care for your 4 legged family member. I have had experience working in a veterinary clinic Summers bring more flexibility to my schedule. During the week my days are wide open. After summer, I work full time. Evenings, weekends will adapt i I treat your pet like they are family. Lots of walks & play with toys. If your pet feels comfortable in his/her crate, bring it
“Taylor is amazing! She helped us out in a pinch, dealt with a fiasco bc our other sitter left a dog out of the crate and cleaned up the shredded dog bed. She went above and beyond and saved the day for us after our flight home from vacation was delayed.”
“Jordan went above and beyond in caring for my pets. Her communication was fantastic and she really spent time making sure they had attention while I was away. I will definitely reach out to Jordan again when I go out of town!”
“Emma was amazing! She took care of my cat so well. This was my first time leaving her alone and she made me feel so much better. She was so communicative and kind and I feel so grateful to have found her.”
