Cat Sitting in Union

“Jennifer is great! She goes above and beyond and took excellent care of Cupcake while we were away. Couldn't be happier!”

“Taylor was absolutely fantastic! I am very nervous leaving my big German shepherd with anyone (I’m a bit of a helicopter parent) but Taylor got on with him very well! She dropped in on him during a very long day at work for me, gave him a bit of attention and a potty break, and all went smoothly! She communicated quickly when she was with him and even brought in my heavy chewy box of dog food that was delivered! I can’t say how happy I am to have someone that seems to like my big boy and will be able to take care of him when I need. Taylor is awesome!!”

About: Hi there! I am a UIUC Animal Science senior with a lifetime of animal experience. My background includes 3 years working professionally at a boarding kennel, active volunteering at an animal shelter, and a lifetime handling large animals, including horses. Due to this, I am fully comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I look forward to giving your pet the loving care they deserve while you are away! I am currently applying to veterinary school and home for summer, so my schedule is pretty open! I am very flexible with my hours and willing to help out in way that I can! I am very comfortable with pets of all sizes. With 3 dogs of my own, I can easily crate, walk, and care for your pet!

“Lisa was a great sitter! She was very kind and attentive, and took great care of our animals. They were happy and content when we got home 🙂 Our GSD is a very itchy girl and usually stress itches badly while we're on trips (even with a cone, she's sneaky and also uses her back feet to scratch). This trip, she didn't seem to stress itch herself at all which is an AMAZING sign. I will definitely be a returning client, thank you Lisa!”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of both cats and dogs, including small and large breeds. I currently have a chocolate lab who I walk, feed, and play with every day. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats, and I understand the extra patience, attention, and care they may need. I love cats and am comfortable feeding them, changing litter, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention. I’m reliable, caring, and truly enjoy being around animals! I’m home from college until August 10th. I’m available all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8 AM–3PM for dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits for both cats and dogs! I’m also available on weekends and am flexible with timing. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and safe. I’m always mindful, respectful, and responsible when caring for pets in someone else’s home. I make sure to keep a clean and safe environment, follow instructions carefully, and handle everything with care. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home, and I’ll always do my best to make both you and your pets feel comfortable and secure.

“Awesome to work with! Very dependable and a great communicator. So glad she was able to drop in and check in on our kitties while we were away. Would easily rebook with again! Thanks so much, Jessica!”

“Chelsea did a wonderful job looking after our senior dogs. Thank you!”

“Olivia was absolutely wonderful while we were away! She dropped in twice to let our dogs out, feed them, and make sure they were well cared for. She treated our home with so much respect and care, truly like it was her own. One of our favorite parts was all the beautiful pictures she took of the dogs while we were gone, it gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile seeing how happy and comfortable they were. You can really tell she genuinely cares about animals.”

Michael C.

“Such a good sitter. She even took my dog to run around multiple times which is something I can’t do. Cielo was very knowledgeable about Piccolos breed and did so good with him. I definitely will be booking again!”

Breshea C.

“Megan did an outstanding job of caring for Katie our cat. From the time we first contracted her, she kept us well informed. She came to meet us and Katie in advance of the booking and send us pictures and a narrative at each visit. She even brought in our newspapers. We would highly recommend Megan if you need someone to care for your pet.”

About: I have had family dogs all my life. Currently I have two senior cats and two Belgian Malinois who are part of my family. We’re a very active family and enjoy being outdoors. I’m a stay at home mom which allows me to have a flexible schedule, unless I have appointments for the kiddos. I’m part time military so I won’t be available those weekends but I’ll let you know in advance 🫶 I’m a stay at home mom and a weekend warrior, iykyk. Availability is open unless I’m scheduled for drill and I’ll give an advanced notice or if I have appointments scheduled. I’ll follow your instructions to the T. My dogs have taught me a lot about dog behaviors and what to look out for. Either way I tend to avoid anything that may upset any dog. Cats are much more independent and they usually just need feeding and cleaning.

“There aren’t enough words to give praise to Maggy. She makes it possible for us to enjoy our time away from our babies, as difficult as it is. She is amazing and provides over the top, excellent care!”

Kelly S.

“Elly was amazing taking care of our cat Mo for a day and was very friendly and professional! Communicative during the visit and followed instructions perfectly. Definitely go with Elly!”

About: I'm an animal lover with a natural way with animals. Though I've only cared for roommates' pets in the past, I love to pay it forwards to everyone! In between jobs right now, I have open availability and am happy to be the last minute sitter you hope you never needed and are glad to have. Keeping them in a routine is important. I'm respectful of my clients' property and loving of their animals while also providing structure to them all

About: I am experienced in administering medicinal injections, nail trimming and teeth brushing of larger breeds, lifting 60+ lbs, pad and potty training, and assisting senior and special needs dogs. I currently work remote and spend most of the day with my own pup by my side. We go to the nearby dog park at least weekly, go on two 20-25 minute walks (1mi+) daily, and play regularly throughout the day. He is very friendly and happy to tag along for any walks or play times, if the company is welcomed. I have a large crate available, if needed, and an in ground stake in the front and back yard with 30ft leads attached, allowing for plenty of time outside in shaded and unshaded areas. Food bowls are cleaned after every meal and pet waste is cleaned up after every trip outside.

“Eloise was fantastic! She followed all of our instructions, and our dog and cat seemed to genuinely love having her take care of them. She was available for a drop in last minute, and sent over very cute photos and videos. Will definitely be hiring her again!”

Ben J.

“Meghan was great- I didn’t have to worry about our cat at all and trusted he was in good hands. She gave us great updates; will definitely book with her again!”

About: I have worked with, raised, rescued, and rehabilitated many cats and dogs in my 24 years of life since I was 8 years old. I am very comfortable with any kind of pet and their quicks that make them, them! From behavioral, to puppies/kitties, sick or need medication, separation anxiety, potty training, general cleanliness, bathing/nail clipping, you name it I’ve done it! I am currently in school for my bachelors in Nursing and work FT overnights at an assisted living home. So I am really only looking for some boarding on my weekends off and evening work :) I care for them like I care for my own! I currently have a disabled tripod at home and I often go on 3-4 hr cycles with her and does great! Always very attentive, alert, refilling water when needed, plenty of walks and playtime, cuddle time, and a fixed feeding schedule. And always making for cleanliness to tidy up. And if needed, extra bath and grooming time! I will definitely make sure your money is worth if you hire me! :)

About: I have been around all different types of pets since I was 5. They have always been a part of my family. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens and so many more. I can provide many references if needed. I currently work from home so I am very flexible with days and hours. I am also able to pick your pup up or drop off if you need me too. Since I work from home, I am able to take them on multiple walks throughout the day! Your fur baby will be treated as if they were my own.

“Faith is an amazing pet sitter! She was very flexible and accommodating to our schedule. Our little guy was always well taken care of by her! Great communication and very reliable!”
