Cat Sitting in Stickney

“I was nervous about traveling, since it had been many years since we needed a pet sitter, but Christine made it easy. She stayed in contact and let us know when she had dropped by, and the cats got everything they needed. We'll definitely hire her again!”

“Kimberly is absolutely fantastic!! She came and met the cat (and us) two days before our scheduled trip. The first thing she did when she entered our apartment was introduce herself to Laney. We gave her tons of information especially since we had never left the cat for more than a day. She blew me away from day 1. I allow my cat to pick out her food for the day by holding two packets and giving her whichever packet she rubs her face on. It sounds a little kooky but Kimberly did this everyday I checked our cameras every day after the notification that she had arrived just to check and saw her giving Laney her choices of wet food. She sent me amazingly detailed information about what they played, how she ate, and just Laney's general disposition during the visit. Kimberly went above and beyond on the last day by bringing in a package with litter and kibble! We booked Kimberly for one hour visits. I, again, typically checked our cameras about 5-10 minutes before the end of the visit. Every day, she was still in our living room playing with Laney and engaging her. I, truly, cannot not find anything wrong with how she met my VERY high expectations. She helped decrease my anxiety about Laney which, in turn, helped both my husband and me enjoy our vacation that much more!”

About: Hi! I'm a dedicated pet lover and current cat owner/former dog owner who understands that leaving your pet in someone else's care requires trust. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. As a cat owner, I'm experienced with daily feeding routines, playtime, litter box maintenance, and respecting each cat's unique personality and comfort level. I also grew up with dogs and have experience with walks, exercise, feeding, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I offer dog walking, cat drop-in visits, and house sitting services. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, your cat needs care and company at home, or you're looking for someone dependable to stay with your pets while you travel, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I'd want for my own pets. I know how important updates are when you're away, so you can expect regular communication, photos, and check-ins throughout my visits. I'm dependable, attentive to details, and committed to keeping your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and help give you peace of mind while you're away! As a part-time worker, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care, with availability for mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires a high level of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. When caring for pets in a client's home, I am respectful of personal property, follow all household instructions carefully, and maintain a professional, reliable presence at every visit. I prioritize the safety and well-being of both pets and their homes by ensuring doors, gates, and windows are secure, keeping living areas tidy, and adhering to any specific care routines provided by the owner. I communicate clearly and consistently, providing updates, photos, and prompt responses so pet parents can feel confident and informed while they are away. My goal is to create a positive experience built on trust, dependability, and respect, giving owners peace of mind that their pets and homes are being cared for responsibly.

About: I am a grad student in education and just moved to Chicago from Detroit, and sadly my lab and kitties had to stay in Michigan due to my living situation. I've taken care of my dogs, and cats my whole life. I love all animals, and have spent time in the state of Michigan being a dog walker for a small local dog walking business. I have house sat for a few different cats along the way as well. From small-large dogs i'm comfortable around them all! I can be available for the summer Monday-Sunday, Come august 26th, My availability will be MWF and saturday/sunday. Mornings-Evenings I can be available at anytime. I always make sure to see if the owners have any specfic instrutions first and foremost. I will always greet the dog/cat first in calm manner, have them sniff me, say hi, get used to me. Then we get ready for a walk, on walks I'm extremely aware on my surroundings and what could happen or not happen. Water bowls are always full, food at the time the owners said. I make sure to make friends with the animals, and their safety/comfort comes first and foremost. This all will go with cats as well! I tend to be more cautious with the cats so they know i'm there to take care of them.

“Luis is so good with my girls! He’s very thorough with the care instructions and it feels so good to know there’s someone I can trust taking care of my little fur babies. It’s hard to leave my cats but knowing Luis will be there makes it alot easier.”

“NaBeela took care of my 2 senior cats in my home while I was out of the country. She was kind, an awesome communicator, and easy to work with. Thank you for taking such great care of things and giving me peace of mind while I was away!”

About: Whenever someone needs their pets to be taken care of, I’m always the one they turn to first because they know I love animals and am very responsible as I have been caring for animals since I was 7. I’ve always loved dogs especially but where I lived at the time, since they didn’t allow them I cared for smaller pets such as rodents and they were able to live out to their expected lifespans. I’m not afraid of unusual pets or even aggressive animals, I always try to make them feel safe and befriend them as time goes on. I always believe in giving animals chances. I got a dog from someone who couldn’t care for him anymore and he’s been thriving with me. Learning how to use the bathroom outside and catching on to new tricks very easily. I try working with him everyday when it comes to his tricks but if not, we just spend time together, play, and go on walks. I’m really into training animals and I find it very rewarding. I also do grooming on my own animals that I currently have and past animals, I bathe them, cut their nails, and even cut their hair. I’m experienced in understanding dog body language and knowing when something is uncomfortable. I’m also knowledgeable in taking care of senior dogs and different methods of giving medication even to the sternest dogs! So I’m working part time at a pet store currently and am looking to get back into my services slowly but surely (you can read past reviews!) I don’t have set days where I’m scheduled to work, so whenever I can squeeze in some time with other pups I’d love the chance to! I genuinely miss the work I do and with being semi-disabled, I want to be able to make this my full time job again in the future. If I ever get back into pet sitting in my own home, it is very much gated all the way around. I would be keeping my eyes on the pups 24/7 and not leaving them alone so there would be no chance for them to get into some trouble. The fences are only about 4 feet tall so if I do watch larger dogs that are known for trying to get out, they will stay leashed at all times but still have freedom (I would have a long lead for them.) I would mostly be one on one with a dog if I am watching them in my home and not take on multiple dogs at once (at this moment.) If I am caring for a fur baby in a pet parents home, I would make sure I do everything by their instructions and under the schedule they have provided. I would let them know ahead of time if it doesn’t align with my schedule! I am a helicopter dog mom and have a camera for my pup, so if a pet parent has anything similar in their home it would not be an issue for me! Safety is always important and if that helps them keep their peace of mind that is fine!

“Jacob was great with my cat Jasper! He kept the litter box and floor clean and sent great pics!”

“Max was very helpful when I booked him last minute. He was on time for all of his visits, took great photos of our elderly dog and was extremely gently and kind. He definitely has a special touch for animals!”

Yard so they can roam as they please safely and I love going to hiking trails nearby and also a lot of room to roam at my home :)

“I had to search for a last minute companion for my daughter's dog and Yani just happened to be available. I cannot express how blessed I feel that I chose Yani. She definitely is beyond a blessing to my daughter's dog Bowser and we both feel so grateful for the love and care that she has shown him. I will continue to use Yani for any services, and I even booked her for my own dog. Incredible is an understatement, she is by far one of the best dog lovers I have met on here ❤”

“Natalia was very responsive and nice to work with! She was so caring with our kitties and spent extra time with them by playing and giving pets. She followed directions and asked questions if she had them. She provided photos and videos. Would definitely hire Natalia again!”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing watching my dogs for three days! From the moment we connected, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved on the entire time. She followed all instructions perfectly and treated them like her own. When I returned, everything was clean, organized, and my pups were calm and content — which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your fur babies, but Lauren exceeded every expectation. I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care. Thank you, Lauren! 🐾💛”
