Cat Sitting Woodstock

“Heather was absolutely wonderful with Charlie! As a diabetic cat, Charlie needs his insulin on a consistent schedule, and Heather was punctual at every feeding, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Charlie can be quite grumpy when I'm not around, but Heather handled his attitude effortlessly. She took the time to make him comfortable by giving him treats, keeping his favorite toys and fresh catnip available, and simply spending time talking to him. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making him feel safe and loved. I also really appreciated her thoughtful report cards and the multiple photos she sent during her visits. She went above and beyond to keep me informed and reassured. During my trip, Heather experienced a medical emergency of her own. She communicated with me and even offered to complete her remaining scheduled visits. I ultimately decided to return home early and let her know that she didn't need to worry about those visits because I wanted her to have the time to rest and recover. I appreciated her communication and willingness to follow through, even under difficult circumstances. Heather is trustworthy, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for cats. I especially appreciate the time she took to get to know both Charlie and me so she could understand his needs, personality, and routine. Being able to leave town for a few days knowing Charlie was in caring hands is priceless, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I would absolutely recommend Heather to anyone looking for someone who will treat their cat with patience, compassion, and love!”

“We were so grateful to have a trusted sitter for our two cats while we were away. Katie S. Understood our cats' unique needs perfectly. She did a fantastic job communicating with us on how they were doing each day. In addition, she was also very aware of looking after our house. When the power went out and it had been raining for two days straight, she reassured us that she had check that the sump pump was doing its job. We were able to enjoy our trip worry free thanks to Katie S. She is truly a responsible, hardworking, trusted, and caring pet sitter.”

“Karah was wonderful! I have 2 older cats and one needs insulin twice daily. My 2 old girls can make quite a mess of their (5!) litter boxes, but each one was clean with no sign odor. Karah sent pics daily and always texted before and after each visit. Cheerful and reliable, I hope to use her again”

“Jessica is great with the drop-in visit's while I was out of town! Arrived on-time and sent a card with Blizzard's picture to let me know how he was doing. Would definitely use her again!!”

“Lili& Zach did a great job as usual! My cats anjoy their time with them. And, somehow, I think they managed to keep my house cleaner than I keep my house!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for the last 1( years, all over 40lbs. I’m also familiar with dealing with reactive dogs, I was social distancing well before that was a thing 😃. I’ve taken care of my parent’s cat for the last 2 years and I’m comfortable with changing cat litter. I look forward to meeting you and your pups/kittens. I’m currently in school on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, after 5pm. The rest of my schedule is open to provide the service your pet needs. I will always keep safety first, follow all instructions prescribed by the customer, be on-time and provide the service your fur baby needs. In addition, I’m open to any communication that the pet owner requires, phone call, FaceTime or just text message to keep them updated on their pets well-being.

“Zack was so wonderful with our cat, took great care of him, and spent time.!!”

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with years of experience dog and cat sitting. I recently moved back to Crystal Lake from Nashville and would love to help care for your pets while you're away! I have three cats and two puppies of my own, so I’m super comfortable around animals of all kinds. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just chilling on the couch, I’ve got it covered. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. My dogs love beach walks, hiking trails, and anything else adventurous and enriching-we’d love to bring your dog along! I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pics and messages so you know your pup is doing great! I am available Monday-Thursday after 1 pm and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all day! My dogs love to go to the dog park every day and play frisbee so that is also part of our routine! I have a huge unfenced yard where my dogs love to play. I have two friendly puppies to keep your dog company! I have a crate if your dog needs to sleep there at night. Otherwise my puppies normally sleep in bed or on the couch!

“Autumn was wonderful and all four of our pups, even our shy one warmed up and felt comfortable around her immediately. Autumn was in regular communication and sent some great photos and feedback on all of our girls after her visit. We’ve never had anyone except family members care for our girls and felt at ease after meeting Autumn and thought she did a wonderful job. We plan to book boarding with her and some additional drop in visits as well. Very happy and would recommend.”

About: As good as home boarding. Treated like family 🐾 A private home with a half acre of fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. I only book one family at a time unless otherwise arranged. I’m almost always home, but when I’m running errands, dogs are never left alone for more than 4 hours. I’ve had pets in my family my whole life: always dogs, a few cats over the years, a house rabbit, hamsters, ducks, fish, lizards, turtles - so many lovely creatures! I’ve worked with rescues and shelters and have taken care of elderly dogs at the end of their lifespan administering medications orally, injections, and topically. Trained in doggy CPR. I also offer drop in visits for feeding, playtime, walks, and tidying up after your pets. Hazel is the host dog, a rescued, spayed, husky mix who gets along well with good natured dogs of all sizes. Your dog should be up to date on its vaccinations, healthy, and neutered if male. For my other job I do freelance graphic design from home and make my own schedule, so I’m very flexible with my time. When boarding at my home your pet will have my company throughout the day. I offer check ins, feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after all pets and livestock at their home. I board dogs and caged pets overnight or for multiple days at my home where dogs have access to a fenced yard at any time of the day, full time supervision, and cozy accommodations.

“Ariel has been great. Kind and patient. All my animals lover her, even my crabby old Sheppard”

“Nikki watched my cat Sabine this weekend and I'm so pleased with her work! She is a punctual, organized, and kind petsitter. She sent frequent check-in texts and photos while I was traveling to keep me updated, and Sabine couldn't have been happier with her. I definitely recommend her services for any petsitting needs :)”

About: I've had a love/passion for dogs since I was born into this life. Growing up, I've always had a dog in the house, so it easily became the norm for me. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds, including doberman, pitbulls, great dane, labs, boxers, beagles, and mutts. I truly love them all. I'm open to taking care of all breeds. I don't discriminate! One thing I will note is that I specialize in high energy/working dogs and am very familiar with larger breeds. Just to give you a quick example, I raised a Doberman from a puppy which led to me learning A LOT throughout the process. Doberman are a working breed and require plenty of mental and physical stimulation & I think I cracked the code! I’ve developed a deep understanding of what high-energy dogs need to thrive. I'm good at stimulating their minds, keeping them active and most importantly, happy. I'm not a certified dog trainer, but I do understand the importance of balancing their physical and mental well-being, and I'm dedicated to ensuring each dog has a great time with me! I'm very engaging and mindful, so whatever your dog may need, whether it's staying active outside or relaxing at home, I will do my best to provide. That's a promise. When it comes to availability, I am free at the moment. You can contact me any time and I will get back to you asap. I will make sure you feel comfortable with leaving your pets with me. To ensure you of this, I will send you daily photos & videos to show you how good of a time they're having! Also, you can give me a call ANYTIME. I know what it's like to drop my dogs off at a pet sitter's house, so my job is to give you the relief of knowing that your pets are in great hands. I can guarantee you this🙂

About: I have many years of cat and dog sitting including my own pets and friends and family as well some neighbors as well I love it I have open availability and love to spend time with pets at all times and would like to experience new adventures with some new pets I have a fenced yard and a spare room to keep them separated if necessary from my own pets we have small children that are good with animals

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a kid but a few years ago, I started to help my boyfriend in bathing, feeding, walking, and taking care of his dog. Since then, I have also started watching dogs for my friends and family members when they need assistance. I am currently available all day, any day to take care of pets as I work remotely and have flexibility in my day to day schedule. I would care for pets in my home by spending time with them, feeding them, walking them, and making sure that they have fun for the duration of their stay :)

About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and truly love spending time with them. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and loving to care for your furry family members. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, and individual needs. I understand that some dogs require extra patience, especially those with sensitive stomachs, food allergies, or separation anxiety. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every dog feels happy, relaxed, and cared for like family. 🐾❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily life because I am a devoted dog owner myself. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs, including walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love and attention. I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine and will do my best to accommodate each pet’s individual schedule and needs. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a loving, clean, and calm environment where every dog is treated like family. As a dog owner, I understand the importance of proper feeding, supervision, exercise, and following specific care instructions. I pay special attention to dogs with food allergies, sensitive stomachs, or special needs. I will also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their furry family member is in caring hands.

About: I am a special education teacher looking to keep busy and make a little extra money this summer! I currently have two cats, but have also had dogs my whole life. I have also had turtles, fish, and even a mini pig. I have experience caring for birds as well. My schedule is pretty open! I am a special education teacher with my summer off! I have a few set plans over the summer- such as a trip to Disneyland for a week in July. But, in general, I’m pretty flexible. I feed, groom, clean litter boxes, and love all animals that I care for. I also will take especially active animals for walks or play with them in the house.
