“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!”
“Dayna really save me with a last minute booking due to my previous petsitter going out of town. While I was gone, Dayna sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. I greatly appreciate her service!”
“Ash was excellent. She did such a great job caring for my cat. I have only recently adopted him and wasn't sure how he would respond. She provided detailed daily updates with photos, and I was able to see he was doing well. Ash was always on time, and I never had to worry. I highly recommend her, and I will be relying on her again in the future.”
“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!”
“Jacob is amazing! He sends us regular updates with adorable pictures. Our cat seems far less stressed when we return from being out of town because he wasn’t alone the entire time. This is our second time having Jacob watch our cat and we will absolutely be using his services again. Zeke will insist on it (that’s our cat).”
“Would definitely use Glen again! He was kind, consistent and trustworthy. Took care of our 2 seniors dogs while we were out of town. He was always on time and patient with them. Kept in touch and sent pictures daily, made us feel very comfortable while away.”
“Mollie is awesome, and I’m so glad I found her! She’s reliable, sweet, and conscientious. Great with my traumatized shelter kitty and my home while I was gone.”
“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 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!!”
“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.”
“Eden was wonderful, came on time for our meet and greet. Our cats felt comfortable with Eden right away. Eden was very attentive to our 2 cat’s routine. She recognized the importance of maintaining the schedule for their happiness.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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. :)”
“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.
“Melissa was great at communicating her availability around her schedule and gave great updates about our cats throughout the visit. We would definitely work with Melissa again!”
About: I have taking care of animals most of my life. I have been fostering dogs with rescues for the past 3 years ranging from ages 2 months to 8 years old. I understand that each pet has individual needs and am prepared to provide that. I have experience giving medication as needed as well. Potty accidents happen, and it’s no deal breaker :) i am here to make your furrbaby feel at home and comfortable! I work a flexible schedule as a home health nurse on the road. I have availability to rearrange my schedule as needed and can accommodate yours. My husband works from home and is able to supervise and provide potty breaks throughout the day Will provide frequent potty breaks, a fenced in yard, walks and lots of belly rubs! Respecting the animals boundaries and slow transitions is a must!
“Carla and her daughter were great checking on my Tilly kitty. She kept me updated and sent me pictures daily. I can definitely tell they are cat lovers! Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my dog for the last five years, ever since he was two months old. I have experience watching other dogs, as well as several years experience cat sitting. I have a very flexible schedule, and I am willing to provide pet care at any time or any day or day of the week. Pet safety is important to me, especially as my dog is very nervous. Giving pets attention and care whenever needed and making sure that they feel comfortable are my first priorities.
