Cat Sitting in Polk

About: I’ve lived with and cared for dog my whole life, from labs, Great Pyreneeses, mutts, and others in between! I have supported my hometown neighbors with caring for their animals, whether that’s by walking, feeding, bathing, administering medication - I’m comfortable with it all. Over the past 7 years I have been a mom to two cats and have helped friends and family care for their felines. I truly believe our pets are family to us and I treat all animals with all the love and care they deserve 🤍 I’m currently working part time, so I have flexibility in my schedule to help care for your furry friends! I currently reside in Northwest Indiana and work on the southside of Chicago on Thursdays and Fridays, but if you are needing my services I’m open to discussing how I can meet your scheduling needs 😊 I am not currently offering care for animals in my home due to my two year old cat who has not quite yet met other animals. However I am more capable of caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home.

“Mackenzie takes such great care of my two dogs. She gives them lots of love and attention and sends me lots of great pics!!”

“Emalee did everything as instructed. I only wish she mentioned the smell of uneaten food rotting in the kitchen trash can, so it could have been properly disposed of outside.”

About: I’ve taken care of many types of animals growing up from horses to cat and dogs. I’m very confident in walking any dog any size, since in my school we’ve learned to adjust and adapt on animals behavior. I also can do any grooming needed (nails, brush teeth, bathe) if you can’t or too wary. I’ve also have well experience in cats. Ive owned cats since I was 15 so if needed I can also do any grooming needs as well. With senior dogs I know they may be more work than a normal dog but I’m up to the task without a second thought! I’ve had much experience with senior dogs. I understand that having animal comes with time management and that’s where I can help! I am current in vet tech school so I have the weekends available and Friday after 4:30pm. I am also willing to go after school mon-Friday after 4:30pm. For the animals in my house they get treated just like a member of the family! I make sure my cat and dog are always content, I take my dog out on daily walks and ensure my cat gets his daily play time. For the animals of your home they will be treated just the same.

About: I love to spend time with them , I like to play with them, I like to take them to the park. I will always keep them on a leash. I can teach them some tricks, sit , stay roll over. I can take them out every two hours, to go potty. I can keep them over night. I took care of a one eye cat, I took care of a blind dog. I have had dogs in diapers. I took care of a Yorkshire, who was pregnant, she went into labor at my house, and my mom and I delivered three little babies they came out every forty minutes. We help clean the babies, and my dog Chuckie helped to. Give them kisses, hugs.

“Amber was great! She took great care of our little Sasha and even checked on my kids' hamsters and sent a photo along to make their day! I always worry about leaving our pets behind when we take small trips but knew they would be in great hands with Amber. I loved the updates and the photos as well. Very much appreciate Amber's TLC with the little ones and will definitely hope to re-book in the future if we need to. Thanks, Amber!”

“Bayli far outdid herself taking care of my furbabies. They got a little rambunctious while their humans were away and created a bit of a mess, with knocking items over and what not. Bayli cleaned up the mess and vacuumed up their sheddings(long hair cats). Not only would I highly recommend her, I will always use her to take care of my littles in the furture!!”

“Taylor is exceptional and we are blessed to have her. Ollie loves her and understood us when we said that Taylor is coming - he jumped up at the window to see.! Heartwarming for us to see.”

About: I am an animal science student with a concentration in animal behavior and wellbeing. In the agricultural community, I raised and showed an award winning rabbit. Last semester, I was an animal care intern at Columbian Park Zoo. I have nearly a decade experience working in pet care. In addition, my family fosters animals. I am seeking employment in pet care to fill my spare time with a furry companion. I have a flexible schedule in the morning and evening during the week. I am available Thursday-Sunday for weekend stays. When I was in third grade, my family opened our home to foster animals. Throughout the last 11 years, we have cared for animals with parvo, double ear infections, malnourishment, etc. The foster organization trusts us to nourish these animals back to health and prepare them for their forever homes. When I visit client homes, I spend quality time with animals providing them with enrichment. I pride myself on reliability, my clients trust and depend on me to care for their beloved pets. In addition to my experiences, my coursework focuses on animal behavior and wellbeing which helps enhance my services.

About: I've had rescue dogs my whole life and understand the patience, love, and consistency they need to thrive. I’m the proud dog parent of a 3-year-old Plott Hound and a 4-year-old Beagle/Pit mix—both super friendly and always up for a game of tug-of-war! Over the years, I’ve successfully potty trained, crate trained, and helped my dogs work through separation anxiety. My hands-on experience gives me a calm, confident approach with all breeds and personalities. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own in a safe, fun, and loving environment. I create my own work schedule, which allows me to dedicate focused, flexible time to pet care every day. I structure my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and training with my two dogs. This flexibility makes it easy to welcome another dog into our routine—whether for a walk, drop-in, daycare, or boarding. I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. I have a fully fenced yard where your dog can safely play alongside my two friendly, playful dogs. There are plenty of toys to keep everyone entertained! I’m happy to crate your dog if needed and always follow your daily routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I believe in clear communication, so I love sending picture updates to keep you connected and reassured while your pup is in my care.

About: I have grown up with cats my entire life. We always had a house full of cats! Now I am on my own and have 2 cats of my own. Cats have been my favorite animal since I was a little girl. They all have such different personalities and are full of life. It's my dream to own a cat sanctuary one day. I will play with your cat, pet him, snuggle and give him all the love in the world! I have so much experience in how to deal with them in doing their litter, wet food, kibble, changing their water, etc. I also have much experience in dogs. I grew up with a therapy dog and have experience in walking, feeding and playing with dogs! I work fully remotely, which allows me the flexibility to tailor my schedule to your needs. Whether you’d like me to stop in for a couple of hours in the morning, drop by during the day, or stay into the evening, I’m happy to accommodate. I can easily bring my laptop, set up, and stay for as long as you'd like me to spend time with your babies. I will be very patient and calm with pets that are withdrawn or scared. Pets are sensitive to change and may be missing their family. I will be sure to maintain their schedule as much as possible. I will send lots of pictures and videos to you daily to help keep you comfortable. I will also write out each visit via text or notepad to let you know how much they ate, drank and how often they went potty between each visit.

About: I am a multi-business and farm owner south of Chicago. I have lots of animals and lots of love. I used to use this app to walk, and care for other pets. Now I am just a customer. I work a remote job, so I am extremely flexible with your needs. I take care of my cats bright and early and throughout the day. I practice proper training, obedience, proper health care, lots of love and more. I expect my care provider to do the same for fur babies.
