Cat Sitters in Bensenville, IL

Maya

Maya was extremely warm and engaging with our 2 dogs. She took good care of our house and communicated regularly with updates and pictures. We were fortunate to spend the first evening with her before we left to get to know this kind, bright and creative person. I highly recommend Maya and really hope she can come care for our dogs again.

Paul

Paul and Maureen are the best! They have become more than pet/house sitters; they are friends. We cannot imagine leaving Oliver and our home in better hands

Merle

Merle was understanding and flexible, and took great care of Ivan and Alloysha.

Rachel

Rachel had an emergency come up the day she was supposed to watch Kali. She was organized and ready to go with a backup plan. Her sister was able to watch Kali, and left the house tidy and clean!

Simiao

I cannot say enough good things about Simiao! She was great with communication and sent pictures daily. I never had to worry that Seamus and deegan weren't being looked after. My house was very tidy when I returned. She went above and beyond during this sit. I would welcome her back at anytime!

Jennifer

Thanks to Jennifer & Mark for providing excellent care to my fur babies during their stay here. I returned to a very clean house and two very content kitties. My instructions were followed to the letter. I would recommend them to any potential clients.

Mary Pat

Mary Pat was great for this weekend stay. Dexter and Luna warmed up to her and she was very communicative for the twice-daily updates that I requested. Would love to have her back.

Ash

Ash traveled a LONG way for this sit and still managed to be right on time -- a great indication of the professionalism/reliability that was to come. Our off-grid mountain home requires a fairly detailed orientation, and Ash didn't miss a thing. And our indefatigable mountain dog was even tired when we got home -- not an easy thing to accomplish.

Amanda

Amanda was wonderful! She hit it off with Zeus right away. Our plans were a little fluid with when we wanted to leave and when we wanted to return. Lucky for us Amanda was flexible enough in her plans to accommodate us. My outside flowers were still alive and trimmed. The inside was clean and tidy. During the stay she didn't need to contact us for anything but when I contacted her, she was responsive and thorough with the information she provided back to me. We had a little emergency in our neighborhood during her stay and she handled it brilliantly. I'd recommend Amanda and have her stay here again.

Kim

Kim was an incredible cat sitter! She was very friendly, organized, asked great questions before the sit, and took amazing care of our anxious cat Oscar. Oscar is a picky eater and we get nervous leaving him, but we could tell he was in good hands. Kim seemed genuinely excited to hang out Oscar. She sent us detailed, relevant updates on Oscar and our home. She also sent videos of Oscar. Our place was also very clean when we got back. I highly recommend Kim and we would happily have her sit again.

Kiwii & Chijioke

Kiwii and Ke were great with Kai & Kash.

Rachel

Rachel was wonderful, all those things and more. Just loved her!

Susan

Janice has been amazing for the passed week at our house. She has kept our 5 dogs well exercised, feed and cuddled! Looked after all our fish (outdoor and indoor) including keeping our hospital tank fit and healthy. She has unfortunately had a few extra tasks due to our outdoor pond breaking just before she arrived and some of our marine fish getting a disease and having, again, last minute having to set up a new tank to house them. She has taken all of this in her stride and could not be happier with her care and attention to all the animals and also keeping our home nice and tidy! Would not hesitate to get her to come back another time when she has time. Highly recommended to everyone

rachael

Well we think we struck gold with Zoe !  Our first go at using a housesitter to look after our home and our dog Dixie.  Communication from the off was clear, prompt and friendly and this continued throughout the stay.  Zoe clearly adores the animals she cares for and Dixie was lucky to get so much attention and love.  We came home to a lovely clean house and note and even some thoughtful provisions!  Although we were on holiday we had a stressful time before our trip and Zoe was sensitive to that situation which was so helpful.  Absolutely no hesitation reccommending Zoe for any posting - your animals will be loved and your home cared for.  What more could you want?  We hope to see Zoe again.   5 Stars all round !
