“Jen was amazing with her communication and keeping me informed about her visits. I also enjoyed the photos of my cat that she provided. She took excellent care of my cat and my home. I would definitely book her again. Thank you Jen!”
“Amazing duo! So grateful for them watching my pup, they took such good care of her, were super communicative and my dog loved them!! Can’t wait to have them come back”
“It was wonderful to entrust Grace with our full house of animals! She went above and beyond in both prep for the visit and during - we are greatly appreciative and will book with her again! Thank you!”
“Maggie was awesome and went above and beyond helping my geriatric Maine coon get her thyroid medication while I was away. She was super communicative, friendly, and patient even when Nalia (my cat) had her usual stranger danger up front. I could tell Nalia was healthy and happy when I returned home, and she really seemed to warm up to Maggie. Definitely will be asking for Maggie’s help again in the future.”
“Kathryn did an amazing job caring for my grumpy old cat, Rumor. He doesn't usually like strangers, but she got him to play with toys and always spent time with him. I felt better knowing that she was checking in on him everyday!”
“Joan is wonderful! She did weekly drop in visits with our dog and was always so communicative. It was clear through the pictures that our dog Beau was smiley, happy, and got plenty of exercise and cuddles when she was with him. She also was down to add extra days with relatively short notice too.”
“Tina was very communicative and thorough with her questions ahead of the visit to ensure she had everything needed day of without any uncertainties. She also met our dogs twice ahead of the visit for everyone's mutual benefit and comfort. Tina provided detailed notes of our dogs outings, feeding, and activities, along with photos of their time. I know our animals had a great visit with Tina and would recommend her to any perspective sitting needs.”
“Darby did a great job with our cats! She was confident and asked great questions at our meet and greet. Our boys felt comfortable and she was able to pill our tricky cat. Darby has great attention to detail and really cares about the boys and building a positive relationship with them. It is clear that she really cares about her work and care for the animals. We are so fortunate to have found Darby! Thank you Darby!”
“Laura is great! She arrives on time and my dog seems to love going with her. She is very helpful and knowledgeable about dogs. I couldn't recommend her more!”
“Annmarie was super responsive and able to help us last minute with some drop in visits during a day we had to work. She hung outside with our old man so that he could enjoy some sun. We are very thankful for her care!”
About: I have experience taking care of a high medical needs cat. I also have experience with deaf and blind cats. I understand each pet is an individual and will adjust my care as I get to know them. Some pets love human interaction and others need their space. I’m absolutely ready to kiss and hug them or give them the distance they need to feel safe. Nothing like the smell of fresh litter in the morning! I am a cat mom to 2 playful, cuddly adopted babies. I recently became a volunteer at a cat shelter, which gives me so much purpose. I have a full time job Monday-Friday. I am looking to occasionally pet sit on weekends and early mornings on weekdays. Home is a sacred place. I will treat your pets and your space respectfully. I can send you all the photos you need to feel comfortable, or video call you. I am comfortable cleaning up after your pet, and giving them all the cuddles and words of affirmation they need while you are away.
“I’m really happy I picked Anna to look after my cats! She gave me peace of mind about leaving them while I was on vacation, knowing they’d be well cared for. I’d definitely ask her to watch them again in the future!”
“Megan was so great with my cats!! She was very responsive and communicative. I felt like my pets were in such good hands the whole time and I’m so grateful for her help!”
“Jaimielyn was absolutely wonderful! I had her for a drop in for my puppy on a Saturday. She was communicative, easy to schedule with, and followed my instructions regarding feeding Cosette dinner and what she needed. I truly appreciated that she was reliable and great with my puppy. I would highly recommend Jaimielyn.”
“Jennifer was great with both of my dogs. One is a bit fearful but she was able to win him over easily. They were so nice and relaxed when I got home, it was so nice to know they were so well cared for”
“Stephanie checked on our dogs while we were away for a long day. She left a great recap of their time together and shared a few pics. Communicative and exactly what we needed when we were away the whole day!”
“Madalyn has cared for our dogs many times. She is easy to work with, takes great care of our pets, and is timely and responsive. I definitely recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Brenna and I am a speech therapist in the Chicago area. My husband and I have a Frenchie, Albert, and a cat, Frank, who are very spoiled!
