Cat Sitters in Cary, IL

Tracey

Tracey was an absolutely phenomenal sitter for our house and our cats. She is so kind and super organized and accommodating, especially during the uncertainty of us traveling back home in the midst of this stressful pandemic situation with Coronavirus concerns. We had to extend our time away by a day and she was incredibly generous in just going with the flow and keeping the kitties cared for. She left our house spotless and both cats very happy. She also sent us the sweetest photo updates of them being their silly selves. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic house and pet sitter. Thank you so, so much, Tracey! We would love to have you sit for us again any time!

Margo & Richard

Margo & Richard were really great sitters. They arrived promptly, made instant friends with Pippin & Hastings, asked all the right questions & gave me great confidence straight away. While we were away they kept in touch with lots of funny photos & comments about the dogs & checked when Hastings had a bit of an upset tummy. On our return I found a beautifully tidy & clean house & happy dogs. I couldn't have wished for more. Thank you.

Megan

Megan watched our two high energy huskies who can be challenging to say the least (albeit still sweethearts). She not only walked them but took them out on adventures with her which is always welcome. Our home was clean and tidy when we arrived home. Would have her back again!

Jim & Lana

We were very lucky & thrilled to be able to welcome back Jim & Lana to look after our three boys and the house for a second time and for our longest trip away so far (5 weeks). It is a real pleasure when away for such an extended period (for us at least) to have the comfort of knowing the boys are happy and the house cared for. Even better to come home to chilled doggies & a clean house. Jim & Lana are great communicators, very experienced with property & pets and lovely people, who again made us feel at ease and definitely bonded with our boys. No surprise at all that they have so many fantastic reviews on top of ours and we absolutely recommend them, while also hoping that our future vacation plans and their commitments coincide again and we can welcome them back. Thank you both x

Eileen

We loved having Eileen at our house!! She got along so well with our dogs, and even my skittish cat took a nap on her legs. We had a family emergency while we were away and it was a blessing to know she was there with my pets and my house. We hope she will come back for a visit!!!

JODY

Jody and Michael were a pleasure to communicate with prior to and during the sit. They asked about communication preferences and reached out when they had questions about anything...especially when some of the instructions I left were not clear. They updated us on Diablo on the frequency we had agreed upon and he seemed well cared for. It was slightly disappointing to arrive home and find the downstairs wood floor fairly dirty with dusty/muddy footprints, partially made up for by having sheets and towels laundered and clean.

Matt

Matt did an amazing job. He left our house cleaner than expected and even bought us a plant and new flag for our flag pole. He was even able to meet us before the sit, which helped put our minds at ease.

Christian

This was Christian's 4th sit for me. What more can I say? Obviously I like him since I keep asking him 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.

Karen & Thomas

We had the pleasure of hosting Karen and Thomas for 3 nights. We were able to coordinate a meet-and-greet before we departed on our trip, and answer any questions about the house and pets. Karen and Thomas took exceptional care of our home and pups! We have one senior dog, and they took perfect care of her giving extra potty beaks. They left the house very clean and it was like they weren't even here! It was a pleasure hosing them for their first zeewoi experience, and I recommend them for any stay! Thank you for taking such good care of our home, plants, and dogs.

Joy

We are so lucky to have found Joy for last-minute pet care! Joy looked after our three dogs, two chickens, and dozens of plants while we traveled for a long weekend. She loves animals and has so much experience caring for them. She is very organized, tidy, and self-sufficient. Joy is a breeze to communicate and coordinate arrival and departure with. We came home to a clean home and happy pups! We are so grateful.

Neil & Susan

Neil and Susan were incredible house and pet sitters. Reba loved spending time with them and going on several walks a day. They were great communicators and sent daily updates with photos. They left our space very clean, doing the laundry before leaving. They even left a coaster resembling Reba for our space! We greatly appreciated Neil and Susan’s thoughtfulness and care for Reba. We’d welcome them to sit anytime!

Angela

Tina is a lovely lady who came all the way from Woking to look after our menagerie for two nights. 
I found her to be friendly and a dab hand with the animals. The dogs got good quality long walks and the cats plenty of cuddles. The chickens were well cared for and she even added extra straw to the ground due to the wet conditions. 
I would certainly recommend her for other sits and would love her to sit for us again.

Irene

We loved having Iza at our place. Communication was good before and during the sitting. She posted us with beautiful pictures of Mila and Lapo, as well as videos. We really appreciated that.
The apartment was left pristine and we could not ask for more.

Unfortunately, she had to go through a shocking experience during her stay as our beloved Lapo unexpectedly passed away the same day we were driving back home. Likely for a heart attack. We were, and we still are, totally devastated for the loss. However, we would like to highlight that she managed all greatly until our arrival. We are sure she did all was possible in that situation. 

We highly recommend Iza and we hope to have her again at our place.
