Cat Sitting in West Chicago

“Thank you Cynthia! My cats are much more relaxed when we get home after your visits. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur babies and our home.”

Sheri L.

“Heather is so great! She writes detailed rover cards and really gave my fur baby all the attention she needs! Heather is also very friendly and definitely knows how to take care of cats well. 10/10 would rebook with Heather!”

“Dana was so great with my kitty who loves and needs attention. She got some outdoor time to out her little feet in the grass and lots of cuddles and belly rubs. Would definitely recommend Dana and will absolutely use her again!!”

Margarette L.

“Vivian was great, great comms, flexible timings and everything was great when we were back. She even managed to make friends with one of our very shy cats. Thanks Vivian!”

Yash V.

“Jacqueline was wonderful with our cats, she gave written updates at each visit and was proactive in asking us questions to make sure they were getting the proper care. Would absolutely work with her again!”

Amanda W.

“Amanda was excellent! She was very responsive setting up the appointments, and since it was her first time with my cats she did a thorough video call beforehand so she knew the ins and outs. My cats are shy but she made a point of ensuring she had a visual on both before she left. Diligently cleaned the litter box and also as a bonus cleaned up some vomit (sorry again and thank you!). Would definitely use Amanda again and recommend! Thank you!!”

Gillian L.

“Sahara was an absolute delight and the kitties loved her. My cats are usually quite shy but after meeting Sahara for a few minutes they were attached! I got text and photo updates while I was away which made it so much easier. I have a few more trips planned and will be reaching out to Sahara again. I finally found someone I trust. If you are looking for a caring heart to take care of your fur babies I highly recommend Sahara.”

Susan W.

“Barbara was wonderful caring for our two cats. She gave us lots of updates, pictures, and communicated with us on each visit. We felt our cats were well cared for and were glad she not only did food, water, litter but played with them and gave them attention too. We hope to work with her again in the future.”

Caitie M.

“Mary was wonderful with both our cats. I was a little apprehensive as one of our cats has to have medicine transdermally and runs from us. Mary was able to give it to her on both days. Thank you.”

Marybeth H.

“Paula is amazing! She knew exactly how to approach our picky German shepherd and adjusted to his needs. She was very calm and comfortable with him. She became his best friend when she walked in with a pup cup in hand. So happy to have found someone reliable we can count on to take care of our fur baby when we go out of town. Thank you!!”

Kalah H.

“Samantha was awesome! She gave great daily updates and sent wonderful pictures of our cat while we were away. We will definitely book her again. :)”

Kat F.

“Jeni was great. She was very responsive and sent us pictures from her visit with our cat Pickles every day we were away. We would definitely book with her again. :)”

About: I bring a teacher’s touch to caring for your pup! As a former elementary school teacher, I’ve got loads of experience in behavior management, patience, and creative problem-solving. Whether it’s helping a shy pet feel safe or channeling a high-energy pup’s zoomies into a fun game, I know how to keep things running smoothly (and joyfully!). I’m also a bit of a pet-training enthusiast. I’ve even taught my cats to use pet doors and hang out with me unleashed while I garden—basically, I’ve turned them into honorary dogs! They’re super social and cuddly because I believe every animal deserves love, enrichment, and positive interactions. I absolutely LOVE dogs, but we're currently at our max pet capacity. So, I pour my animal affection into my kitties and helping others by volunteering at the DuPage animal shelter, where I get to meet all kinds of amazing furry friends. I've also recently taken on raising and releasing monarchs in an effort to restore the dwindling population. Our garden is a designated Monarch Way Station. I've tagged and released hundreds of monarch butterflies over the last 3 summers. In short, I combine my teaching skills, training know-how, and pure love for animals to give pets—and their people—a fun, safe, and worry-free experience! I am an adjunct instructor. My classes don't reume until September 22nd, so right now, I am available every day. After that, I only will only teach two classes, so I'll have quite a flexible schedule to sit for animals with availability every afternoon and 3 full days a week. I am highly skilled at reading animal body language. The most important thing in keeping animals safe and calm is to determine how they're feeling in order to provide what they need--whether it's space, food, play or something more serious like medical attention. I make sure every animal has a corner of his/her own to take time needed privacy or R&R. I make sure animals in my care have plenty of opportunities to play, are stimulated, cuddled (if that's what they like), fed a healthy diet and feel like a part of the family.

“Lauren is fabulous! We have been grateful for her care of our animals!”

Kim R.

“Courtney was amazing. I was nervous to leave my kitties while we’re out of town for a few days, but she made us completely at ease with regular updates and photos. One of my cats is terrified of new people and recently underwent surgery that left her with almost no teeth. Courtney left some soft food under where she was hiding, which was so nice and appreciated! Will definitely book her again in the future!”

Jacque S.

“Wonderful cat sitter. I have a shy kitty & Paola & her little guy made my kitty feel comfortable enough to approach him herself which is HUGE! Highly recommend this very caring sitter.”

Bridgette B.

“Kyla is amazing and very involved! She took care of my husky and very active border collie while I was gone and texted me to keep me updated. She accommodated for the dogs and made sure both my dogs got the care they needed. She was even able to make time to do an extra drop in when I needed it last minute. She is amazing and will definitely be using her again!”

About: I grew up in a family of animal lovers—cats, dogs, birds, even pet cows, turtles, chickens, hermit crabs, and more! Pets have always been family to us, and they were deeply loved and cared for. I’ve been caring for animals my whole life and still do occasional pet sitting. Now, I’m excited to offer my care through Rover! I’ll go any length to keep your pets happy—whether that means giving baths, going on long walks, or showering them with love and plenty of pets. I’d love to treat your pets like the family they are—because they deserve the very best. I’m a part-time college student who also works and babysits, so pet sitting is the perfect flexible gig for me! My schedule changes week to week, but I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening visits most days, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I can do drop-ins, walks, feedings, baths, playtime, and give your pets all the love and attention they deserve. Weekends and some overnights are also available with notice—just reach out, and I’ll do my best to fit your needs! When caring for your pet, I’ll treat them like one of my own—with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. I’ll stick to their routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding at specific times, going for walks, cleaning up after them, or just giving them extra cuddles and playtime. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to give your pet not just care, but genuine companionship and kindness every visit.
