Pet Sitting in Riverwoods

“Amy is an amazing caretaker for our clingy, needy dog! She spent the weekend with him and send us pictures constantly to make us feel comfortable about being away from home. He looked like he had more fun than when we are home and was probably very sad to see her go. The best!!”

Stephanie J.

“I always feel so comfortable leaving my kitties in Zoey & Madison's care when I leave town. I get the cutest updates, they're very timely, and they were even able to give my cat his medication very easily (which can be a challenge for me). Definitely recommend these ladies!”

Randi C.

“Erica was amazing with our kitties. She was a huge help and helped by adding extra visits since I biffed on the scheduling. We didn’t have to cut our trip short. I will always book her moving forward.”

Jessica B.

“Amy is wonderful, I felt completely comfortable having her check in on my pets…cats, rabbits and fish! She is so reliable, and confidently gave my clever kitty her meds with no problems everyday. I cannot recommend Amy enough!”

Tori M.

“Great service!! We highly recommend Yamile:)”

Aga O.

“Grateful to know banks is in good hands! Appreciate how very flexible you were for me and easy to communicate with!! Not like other sitters I’ve used. I always get nice updates and photos of banks while I’m away. Thanks again!”

“Maria is fantastic. She has helped us out many times with drop-in visits for our cats. We do not have to worry about our cats when we are gone and we know that Maria is looking after them.”

Jessica M.

“Jennifer did a great job making sure my cat was well taken care of. She kept me posted and sent pictures and updates the whole time I was gone.”

Natalie P.

“Cathy started caring for our black lab, Wendy, last week. She responded so quickly to my messages and was able to do a meet and greet within days of my first message to her! Our dog loves Cathy and it’s been going really well when Cathy comes to let her out at lunchtime. I would definitely recommend Cathy to care for your pet! She has a lab of her own and a lot of experience.”

Alexandra B.

“Brianna did a great job taking care of my OD. I was hesitant leaving my dog to a complete stranger, but when I met Brianna, I knew she would take good care of my dog. She kept me well informed and I will not hesitate to use her again. It is very comforting knowing I have someone who I can call to take care of my dog when I am traveling since I no longer have family able to care for him. Thank you Brianna--I will be back in touch soon as I have another trip coming up.”

Kim W.

“Jason went above and beyond caring for our 4 pets! He ensured our dog's special diet and medication was given at the right time, and we are so grateful to trust that our pets were in good hands. Will be booking him again in the near future!”

Sara T.

“Anna was just wonderful! She came for drop-in visits and looked after my dog and cat while we were gone for 8 days. I looked forward to seeing the photos of my sweet dog on his walks and I couldn’t believe my extremely shy cat made appearances for photos, too! We were relaxed on our vacation knowing our pets were well looked after. Thank you so very much, Anna!”

Kathryn J.

“Abby is the sweetest person ever! Which In turn makes her the best person caring for our fur babies! On time, fed, watered and played with our cat etc! Sent me updates! I will definitely use her next time as well!”

About: I have a really deep love for dogs, especially senior pups. I’m naturally gentle, patient, and attentive, which I think older dogs really respond to. I take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs and personality—whether they’re shy, slow-moving, or just need a little extra comfort. I truly care for every dog like they’re my own, and I find real joy in creating a calm, safe space where they can feel at ease. Caring for pets fits really naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy it—it doesn’t feel like a chore to me. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, check-ins, feeding, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m used to structuring my day around a pet’s needs, whether that’s slow morning strolls for older pups, medication routines, or just being a calm presence nearby. I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes your pet feel safe and cared for. I always treat a client’s home with the same respect I’d want someone to have in mine—clean, quiet, and mindful. When I’m in their space, I try to keep things as calm and familiar as possible for the pet. I stick closely to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, medications, or just how they like to relax. I move slowly, especially with older or anxious dogs, and I pay close attention to their comfort. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and never alone.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was nearly 14 years old. I have a cat currently, and have had dogs off and on for most of my life. I am often available on Mondays until 3 pm, Wednesdays until noon, Fridays all day, Saturdays all day, and Sundays all day. I have a lot of time available despite a full time job. I do not offer sitting or boarding, my apologies. However, I do offer walks and drop-ins. Thank you for considering me as someone to care for your kitty or pup!

“Laurie did a great job coming daily and walking Lucy. We got multiple photos and a report card with how she did.”

Mike J.

“Denis and Nikki are amazing. Cooper loves hanging out with them. They are very respectful of your home and take the absolute best care of your doggo. Highly recommend. Also, they’re doing this for their children’s college fund, so please use them!”

Christian M.

“Thea was so meticulous and empathetic to my cat’s needs during my time away. She also provided adorable photos, videos and notes. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great catsitter or dogsitter!”

About: I’ve always taken care of my friends’ family dogs at home whenever they go on vacation. They trust me with their dogs because I’m responsible and care for them just like they’re my own pets! I’m available in the morning 8am to 1:30pm Tuesday Thursday Friday. Then in the evenings I am free! Depending on the weekend I am available as well! I’m so excited to make new furry friends. I have a fenced yard for my own pup. I always put my pup on a leash when we go for our walks and make sure I never leave him home alone for more than 8 hours if I am gone for the day / evening.

About: I have owned my own dogs, taken care of dogs for friends and family, and handled dogs at a local rescue I volunteer at. This includes walking, feeding, potty breaks, medication administration, and playtime. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes and pride myself in attention to detail unique to each dog. I am currently working full time on weekdays. On weekdays I can be available for visits after work in the late afternoon through evening time. I have more open flexibility on weekends and have room for several visits throughout the day. I require meet and greets before booking with new clients to put my best foot forward and be fully prepared to take care of your pet. I make sure to get thorough instructions from the pet owner on what their expectations are. Sticking to any routines is vital to ensure comfort and ease for the pet and owner. Ensuring that there are no messes or dangerous items that pets can get into is also important to me for safety.
