Cat Sitting in Winthrop Harbor

“Kim did an awesome job taking care of our 4 cats and was very understanding of our one cat that is a bit ill right now. Great communication with her when we were gone and loved the pics she sent. I would definitely use her again when we go on a trip again. Thank you Kim.”

“Caitlin is the best person for my pets. They all love her. She takes the time to interact with each one individually. My female cat hides under the bed but Caitlin lays on the floor and has a conversation with her every day.”

“Simply said, Tara is the BEST! We were out of town for over a week and she provided excellent care for our cat, Jeter. Not only did she care and play with Jeter, she was also gracious enough to feed the feral neighborhood cat, Raya, who we provided outside housing on our deck for the cold winter months. We received daily photos which we totally loved including Tara’s fun comments and great humor! We would highly recommend her services and will not hesitate to request her again for future travel. I now know why she is a Star Sitter!! My husband and I, along with our cat, Jeter, has made a very special friend! 🤩🐈‍⬛❤️”

“I was gone for the entire weekend and Tabitha did great especially with our diabetic cat that requires an insulin shot at every meal. If you have a pet with medical needs Tabitha can handle it whatever it is.”

About: I am a firm believer that our pets are our family, and each individual pet deserves individual care, respect and love! I am meticulous with details and ensure that a beloved pet’s routine is kept as consistent as possible under my care. I’ve owned cats since I was 8yrs old, and also had hermit crabs, Leopard geckos, and tarantulas. My family never had space for a dog, so I walked and played with my neighbors dogs while growing up. Once I reached my 20s, I’ve volunteered for years at no-kill shelters back in TN, trained on how to clean, socialize and care for dogs. I have just moved to Northern Illinois and wasn’t able to transfer my job up here. So I want to make my job caring for your family! I am available Saturday - Wednesday. I am very detail oriented and respect every pet owner’s instructions and wishes to the letter. Pets deserve consistency with their established routines! In the absence of instructions or an emergency, I have years of hands-on pet care to fall back on and use reliable judgement so your pet will always receive the best care possible.

About: I am a big animal lover. I plan on treating and taking care of your sweet fur baby as if he or she or they are mine because that how I would want someone to take care of my fur babies. I understand the worries leaving them with a pet sitter because I am a pet owner and have had a lot of anxiety leaving my pet with a person even if it a person I know and trust. I can provide special care if needed I had blind fur babies before as well have had a lot of senior and puppies that needed a lot of attention , care and love. I have two shih-tzu one young (Gerber) and one senior( Toby). I require all pets be up to date with shots as well flea treated. I currently have a part time and only work about 2days a week. If that. Due to working short hours and day I am blessed being able to be home most of the time with my own dogs. As well be able to have this side hustle of taking care of people fur kids. I have a fenced back yard and currently saving for the fenced in front yard. I actually have a double fenced back yard section to help to get my own pets safe. I did it because I find my big back yard great for exercise and play time but I love having a decent side section double fence just for sense of security.

About: I have a love for animals, if you're thinking I'm sure everyone says that but for me it's so true. Not only do I love caring for pets. I've even helped my neighborhood with feral cats and getting them the help the deserve. Look up on Facebook Winthrop Harbor Wild Cats! What does that mean for you? I'm passionate about caring for animals means I will love on and treat your special friend just as you would! My work is flexible and mostly at home. I like to go on walks daily which would fit perfectly for any pup looking for exercise! We have a large yard for easy potty breaks. I have two young children that wear out anyone willing to play. We have a medium crate if needed and a full basement with playroom.
