About: I’ve been caring for pets for years—starting with dog sitting for multiple families throughout high school and college. I’m comfortable with different breeds, routines, and personalities. I’m also a cat owner myself, so I understand the day-to-day care, attention, and patience pets need I am currently a teacher in the lake zurich area. I am available for after school and night walks/check ins. I also am available for weekends. I am a very patient and understanding person who understands the different personalities of all pets. I worked at Petco for multiple years and came into contact with various pets.

Melanie is fantastic with our older dog Jewel. I know that she will come and keep her company and let me know if she is having a bad day and sends the best pictures!! I highly recommend her, I have caught Jewel looking out the front door for her when I was home lol, Jewel looks forward to her visits.

Erica did an awesome job watching our two cats while we were out of town. She was an excellent communicator and really went above and beyond providing updates and daily check-ins. We felt very comfortable entrusting our cats and our home with her. Would highly recommend Erica for all your pet needs!

We've worked with Liz several times and she does such an incredible job with our kitty! He's used to someone being around all the time so when we have to go out of town, it's a really hard adjustment for him. I always feel so easy knowing Liz will be popping in to give him treats and snuggles and make sure his food, water, and litter robot are functioning properly. He's always happier when we come home if Liz has been visiting!!

Wendy was great looking after both our cats. We had quite a few instructions along with cat door so one of our cats can eat in peace without the other trying to steal it. She was also attentive in noticing our morning wet food automatic feeder not going off.

Karina was attentive, caring and consistent while watching my cat. Mylo is the definitive ‘scaredy cat’, afraid of everyone and everything. He resisted her at first but she broke down his barriers and by the end of the week he was playing with her and letting her pet him! I’m grateful to have such a wonderful sitter for my fur children!

Scott took amazing care of our senior cat, Quinn, for a week. Quinn is diabetic, so Scott administered insulin twice a day. Scott fed Quinn twice a day and emptied the litter box. He even was very kind to bring in our mail each day. He stayed to keep Quinn company each time he visited and sent us a picture each time so we could see our fur baby. He was so good about keeping everything clean and in good shape. We will definitely re-book with Scott when we travel in the future! Thank you Scott!

Tina was amazing with our very shy cat! She was the first cat sitter we’ve had who was able to get her out of hiding during visits, and she spent lots of time making sure our cat was comfortable with her. Tina also sent lots of photo and text updates, which was so appreciated. Can’t recommend her enough!

Gabrielle was wonderful. We have two cats and they’re not the ‘usual’ and come with a few higher demands. While it might be a work in progress… as we’d expect… it all seemed to go smoothly with one warming up nicely. The other has to ‘think about it’ for a while LOL. She kept the house (she house + cat sit), cats and peripherals in order with no complaints at all. She was here quite a lot with the cats so we absolutely appreciate that. Already have her signed up for another venture!

About: Hi there! ☺️ With over 10 years of experience caring for animals - both in-home and at professional facilities - I’ve pretty much seen it all (and loved every second of it)! I currently work at a luxury pet resort, where I’m lucky enough to pamper pups (and their human parents), and keep all kinds of furry friends happy and healthy. 🐾 I’ve also worked at a horse stable and have hands-on experience with senior dogs, cats, birds and even fish. I grew up with a lovable Maltese and stray cat, so I know just how important it is to treat every pet like family. Whether your fur baby needs cuddles, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I’ve got things covered! 🐶🐠🐱🐴🐢 I work full-time at a luxury pet resort, but I’m available for pet care during early mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule to accommodate whatever you and your furry-friend's needs are! ☺️ My biggest priority is to make both you and your fur baby feel safe and well-cared for. This includes fostering an environment around your pet that is happy, calm and full of fun! With my many years of experience, you can always count on me to advocate for you and your pet's greatest needs!

Wendy is wonderful! When I forgot to give my other pet sitter a key to the front door’s bottom lock, she was a huge help in making sure the issue got sorted. Even though I told her she could leave after feeding and scooping litter for my very shy cat, Wendy would still stay and listen to music for the full half-hour visit so Tawny wouldn’t feel as alone. So professional and so nice! Highly recommend her.

Sandy always takes such wonderful care of my Cora as if she was her own kitty. While I never like leaving Cora behind when I travel for work, I know she’s in great care with Sandy. She’s trustworthy, kind, and an all-around lovely person. I also highly value the peace of mind knowing Sandy is an experienced vet tech if anything were to ever happen. She’s the best!
