Cat Sitting River Grove

“Suzanne was great. Definitely an animal lover and all the pets were very comfortable with her. We would be glad to have her come again!”

“I had a great experience with my dog sitter! She did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I would absolutely book with her again! 🐶❤️”

“Crystal provided great care of my cat while I was away. She sent pics and videos which were great to see. I would use her again when needed.”

About: My name is Daniella. I am 24 years old and working with animals is what my life is about. All my life I have had my own pets and I have also worked at an animal hospital for the past 8 years! I am a college graduate with a degree in Biology and I’m here to make sure your fur babies are happy and safe! I have lots of experience with animals and I love any kind. You have a cat? No problem! 5 dogs? (It’s okay I do too!) consider me to watch your lovely animals! I promise that I won’t let you down! I am currently a full time vet tech! I am free pretty much every Sunday and Wednesday and Saturday afternoons after 3pm. I am off some Mondays as well. I would love to be able to work with your schedule as well! Bringing pets into my home won’t always be an option for me but I am more than happy to stay at your home to watch your fur babies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats myself so bringing in other pets does not always work well for my little guysz

“Faith was a great sitter while I was out of town for the holidays! Very communicative and stayed on top of my cat’s meds. Daphne was in good hands!”

About: Caring for a pet means much more to me than simply feeding them and taking them for walks. I enjoy getting to know their personality, respecting their routine, and making sure they feel calm, safe, and loved while they are in my care. I am responsible, patient, and very attentive to each pet parent’s instructions. I understand that every pet has their own needs, habits, and preferences, which is why I carefully follow the instructions I’m given and maintain regular communication so you can feel at ease while your pet is with me. I offer walks and care for both dogs and cats, whether in my home, in the pet’s home, or during walks. I especially enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs and paying attention to the little details, such as their behavior, eating habits, energy levels, and overall comfort. I also like to keep pet parents updated throughout the stay, sending photos and updates when appropriate. My goal is for your pet to receive personalized care and for you to have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. I work part-time, which gives me enough flexibility to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. When you’re away from home, I can keep your pet company, play with them, give them plenty of affection, take them for walks, and keep their routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. I also offer daycare in my home and overnight care, depending on each pet’s needs. I want them to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, just as they would at home, while their families are away. In my home, pets are part of the family. I have a large, fully fenced and secure yard with a small grassy area where they can go outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. Inside the home, they have a comfortable and safe environment where they can relax and spend time with the family. I want pets to feel at home and be part of our family life, so I do not use crates as part of their daily routine. They are free to move around the safe areas of the house and yard, always taking into consideration their personality, needs, and their owner’s instructions. I have a one and a half year old Yorkie who is part of our family and is used to enjoying the house and yard freely. Of course, whenever I care for another pet, I respect their boundaries, energy level, and any special instructions provided by their family. If I care for your pet in your home, I maintain their usual routine and carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, rest, and any other needs. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, accompanied, loved, and at home while you are away.

About: Hi! Im Cailey. Im a sophomore in college studying to become a veterinarian. I previously worked at a pet hotel for two years as a daycare attendant, groomer, and reactive dog handler. I am comfortable with breeds of all sizes and temperaments. While working at the pet hotel I was also trained on how to administer various medications both oral and injection, and I was trained in pet cpr and how to read the body language of a dog. I have three large breed dogs of my own, two of which I took to professional trainers and my most recent rescue I trained myself. I am not a professional trainer but I am quite educated on the subject! Please reach out for any grooming, pet care, or training inquires! Thank you. My dogs wake me up every morning around 7-8 to go potty and for breakfast. I take one or two of my dogs each morning to run with me. I live right next to a park we usually do two laps of. After then my dogs pretty much entertain each other until dinner time. In other peoples homes I treat them as if they were my own! Well talk everything over in person of course but just leave me detailed instructions and I will do my best to follow them to a T!

“Jackie took great care of my cat Pepper! She sent daily updates and photos, which kept me totally at ease. She was also really flexible when my flight was delayed and pickup ran late. Highly recommend booking with her!”

About: I worked at a dog daycare/boarding place at the Wag Hotels Schiller Park location for 2 1/2 years: feeding, cleaning their rooms, giving medications and more! I have great experience with both cats and all types of dogs and have always enjoyed my time spent with the animals! :) I also have my own animals at home that I take care of— both a dog and a cat. I am taking classes during the week and my schedule will be more packed during the weekdays, so weekends would be the best for me to work with! Unfortunately I cannot house pets during the day or overnight as I am in school, but I am available for drop in visits, dog-walking, and possibly future pet sitting opportunities!

About: I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs—big, small, energetic, friendly, and even those who need a little extra patience and attention. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m even more experienced with cats, having grown up around them my entire life! I love getting to know each cat’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I also have experience administering insulin shots to cats and am comfortable following specific care routines and instructions. I currently have almost complete availability, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I'm very flexible. Reach out to me for scheduling. I'm used to many varying sets of rules from house to house when it comes to pets. Let me know where they should and shouldn't be and I'll make sure to keep to that!

About: I am able to care for a variety of furry friends, ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I do have some personal (not professional) experience in training that follows respect, obedience, and basic commands! Keeping your pup active, in a safe environment and always loved are my top priorities ☺️ I also offer pet taxi services - if your fur baby happens to have an upcoming vet service or even grooming service, I will happily provide transportation! These options will count as a scheduled ‘Drop in’ visit if you’re interested! 😊 Im currently a med school student but am in the process of transitioning from clerkships to elective year so with some extra free time, I am able to tend to your pets needs throughout most times of the day. My schedule does vary depending on the specialty / clinic I’ll be in, but the details can be sorted out with the needs you and your pets require! I have 3 dogs myself, 2 of them currently reside with my parents up north due to me being here for medical school while my fiance and I travel with our sweet newly adopted girl. My pups love to run around and get as much play time as possible so I’m used to the high energy pups!

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and animals my entire life! I grew up with 5 cats, 2 dogs and 3 horses and I have loved animals since I was a little girl! I am also familiar and comfortable with administering meds! I work part-time and my partner, Nate works from home full time so together we are able to take complete care of your fur baby! We have a fenced in yard, multiple dog parks nearby and a dog of our own that LOVES to play with other animals! We are also able to crate your dog if/when necessary and are able and willing to accommodate most requests!

“Fantastic!!!”

About: Hi! I’m 22 and a college athlete who plays basketball and softball in Boston. We’re currently on break until late January, and I’m looking to pet sit or help out in any way I can. I grew up with dogs and recently lost my own, so spending time with other pups really means a lot to me. I love walks, playtime, and giving dogs lots of attention and cuddles. I’ve also walked dogs for a neighbor and would treat your dog like they’re my own! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. Since I’m currently on break from school until late January, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or overnight care and can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs I will gladly take care of your pets in your home, or even take them on hikes if need be! I am able to help overnight as well as needed.

“Ashlee has visited with our kitty, Louie, multiple times now. She’s been a true delight to work with and super reliable. She arrives within the hour requested, communicates regularly, and maximizes her visits with plenty of playtime which Louie loves! It’s really nice to know we have someone to rely on while we’re out of town :)”

About: I unfortunately wasn’t allowed to have pets until I was older. I adopted my first pet (a cat) at 19 and she’s still with me! With the addition of 5 other cats as well since my family moved in with me😭. Although 2 of those cats are technically not mine, but one of family members, I still care for them all the same. I have also fostered kittens before and helped potty train them as well as bottle fed them. I have some experience giving medication to my cats for a short time; no long term medications as of now. —————————————————— I have pet sit for my friends whom are mostly fellow cat owners. For them, they usually just ask me to drop by during the day or evening to feed and change their litter and spend some time around them. I’ve taken care of my friends dog who doesn’t go on walks, so I would let her out in my friends yard to use the bathroom and then she’d come right back in to lay on the couch. I have several family members that are dog owners and I’ve been around them playing with them and occasionally went on walks with them or helped feeding them. But I’ve never officially taken care of them with out the owners being there. ——————————————— Although I am more of a cat person, I do get along with dogs! With cats I have 6 or so years of experience and with dogs I have about 2 years of experience. When visiting your home, I will take care of your home and leave things as they were!! If there any instructions you would like for me to follow, I will gladly read them, whether that’s for the fur babies or the house itself! I’m currently working part time so my schedule is pretty flexible and since my family currently lives with me they help take care of my own cats if I leave town. I typically work Wednesday and Friday afternoons and I’m free after 5:30pm, I do work weekends but I’m normally available after 4:00 pm and can stay overnight if needed. I’m normally off Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays so I can come by more during those days, but any day during the week I can fit in dropping by, specially in the afternoons! Since I currently live with family and 6 cats I understand most other pets might not immediately get along with 6 new animals, so I can always drop by or stay at your place to take care of your fur babies!

About: I have raised 2 dogs since puppies until older age. I have experience with older dogs and puppies. Love them all. I have no pets at the moment so any pet I care for will receive lots of love. Love all pets I can provide care in the morning and afternoon. I am available for many services. I can walk pets, play with them, feed them, take them out, cuddle them, and give them love. I can also stay in your house or apartment with your pet. I give pets lots of love and attention. I can give pets lots of love, cuddle with them and give them treats, practice commands, or also just give them space and take them out for walks. I love dogs, I also like cats. Any pets are a joy

About: Family and friends have relied on me to look after their furry babies for a couple of years now. Drop-ins, dog sitting, dog walking, and cat sitting. Current cat and dog owner. As a pet owner for quite literally my entire life, I can confidently say your fur babies are in good hands. I work in healthcare on a rotating schedule, so it’s kind of difficult to set days and times. Feel free to reach out and we can discuss what you need, which days, and times. I do my best to accommodate you and your baby. Whatever instruction is given to me I will follow in order to keep pets happy and comfortable as well as owners. Keeping pets happy and comfortable is the motive.

“We were nervous about our first Rover booking and having someone new care for our sweet girl, but couldn’t be happier. Parisa is thoughtful, communicative and we arrived home to a happy and well-cared-for kitty. We’re so thankful to have found her!”

About: I grew up with dog. I had a Doberman, Weimaraner’s, and Great Danes. I’ve watched Rottweilers, Labs, Boston Terriers. I currently have a young Pit mix who I absolutely adore. She’s an absolute sweetheart and wants to be everyone’s friend. I also have experience with cats. I’ve cared for older cats who have medication needs. I also have a 3 year old cat who loves to cuddle and chase her plastic toys! I have a lot of weekday availability. I also drive and don’t mind traveling. With enough of a heads up I’m happy to do what I can to make sure your baby get the care it needs. I have reliable transportation. I also have a fenced in yard. My pup is very friendly and playful. We have a baby gate up with a cat door because our cat is kind of shy and needs a place to retreat too.
