Cat Sitting in Woodstock

About: Hi! My name is Julie and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I previously worked as an Adoption Manager at Anderson Animal Shelter, where I gained hands-on experience working with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds. Through my work, I developed a strong understanding of animal behavior, daily care routines, and how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also worked as a manager at Pet Supplies Plus, where I further expanded my knowledge of pet care, nutrition, supplies, and the unique needs of different animals. Between both roles, I’ve spent years helping pet owners and caring for animals in professional settings. In addition, I have experience administering medications and caring for animals with special needs, both professionally and in my personal life. Whether your pet needs extra patience, medical support, or just lots of attention and affection, I’m confident providing compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. I’ve owned and cared for many different types of dogs over the years, from small breeds to large breeds, and I’m comfortable handling pets with varying energy levels and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats and understand the importance of respecting their unique routines and comfort levels. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, secure, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their animals are in experienced and loving hands. I treat every pet like family and would love the opportunity to care for yours! Im currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I have open availability most weekends and can stop by after 3PM on weekdays. I give my German shepherd walks every day and lots of play time to help relieve some of his energy. Depending on you pets needs I can accommodate them any way you see fit.

“Crystal took such wonderful care of my cat while I was out of town for five days. My cat has some particular dietary needs and she was taken care of with care and attention. I got daily photos and updates about my cat while I was gone. Crystal was patient with Hattie, even though she’s shy. Overall, she went above and beyond to care for Hattie while I was gone.”

“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.

“Jada was great!!! My pets loved her. I loved the peace of mind knowing that they were getting attention during the day & I wouldn't have a "mess" on my new carpet.”

Maureen T.

“My old guys love Krysta!! She does a great job with my finicky old men. Her pics are also the best! I highly recommend her for your fur babies.”

Kristina W.

“Morgan was fantastic! We’re so happy to have trusted her with our two dogs while we were gone for 5 nights and will definitely trust her again.”

Jules R.

“This was our first time using Rover and Heather went above and beyond our expectations! We looked forward to her updates nightly and absolutely loved the pictures. We were able to enjoy our vacation more fully knowing our little fur baby was in wonderful hands. We would you request Heather again in a heartbeat!”

Holly W.

“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!”

Meredith B.

“Chloe did great with Buffy and Buddy! She took mamy cute pictures of the pups during her visit to share and was very easy to work with! We would definitely recommend Chloe and have her sit our pups again! Thanks Chloe!”

Kristin K.

“Nicole was hands down awesome! Our 2 boys loved seeing the photos she would send at each drop-in. One of our dogs was a little slow to warm up at first, but I liked that she didn’t let it bother her. Before we knew it, they were best buds! HIGH RECOMMEND HER!!”

Stephanie L.

“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: 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

“I felt very comfortable that my cat is in caring hands. Charlotte my cat is very picky with strangers, she became very friendly with Meghan!”

About: I have a year of experience fostering a variety of animals, including kittens, adult cats, puppies, and senior dogs. My friends and family have also relied on me to walk, feed, and provide companionship for their pets. Additionally, I have experience in training puppies and providing specialized care for older dogs, which sets me apart from other sitters. I'm currently in college taking classes online, so I'm at home with some free time on my hands. It's nice to have the flexibility to manage my schedule that way In my home, I have a fenced-in yard. For cats, I can provide plenty of toys and the companionship of myself and my six cats to keep them entertained.

About: I’ve loved growing up with dogs and cats my whole life and currently live with 2 of them and my cat (she's a queen, but loves her furry, fellow roommates :) ) I have experience with senior, high energy and large dogs. I’m happy to make drop in visits, house sit, play, give attention and take them on walks (even in Chicago winters!). I understand how much our furry friends mean to us and wanting them in the best hands while away. I take my responsibility very seriously and my passion for dogs and cats makes this a fun position for me as well. We’re all busy people but I work to be flexible and accommodating to you and your pet to ensure they’re given the attention they need. Can’t wait to meet your fuzzy, furry fur babies! I currently have a full time job in Crystal Lake but I’m happy to flex my time to make space in my schedule for any needed pet care. I'm an active, driven individual with a big heart who loves animals of all kinds :) I'm a vigilant, passionate caretaker who provides love and attention to detail wherever I am - at home, in other homes or out in public.

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.

“Very good and thorough care. Communicated well and often. Highly recommend!”

“Natalie is kind, thoughtful and caring. I have a great piece of mind when she helps with my dog.”

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! :)

“Gretchen is the best! She helped us out on very short notice over a holiday week with no hassle. Our dogs were loved on and well taken care of while we were gone. Gretchen is very trustworthy and kind,”
