Pet Sitters in Indian Creek, IL

Naomi & Adam

Naomi and Adam stayed in our home and took care of our cat for 3 months. They were great guests—reliable, friendly, and most importantly they took great care of our cat and our home. Everything was left clean and tidy, they were quick to communicate, and our cat looks happy and well cared for. We would have them again anytime!

Emma

Emma was a perfect sitter! They kept me updated with pictures and I came home to a very clean apartment and most importantly a super happy pup! :) I definitely recommend Emma as a house sitter and hope to invite them to house sit for me again in the future.

Luis

Luis was great. Communicative but not too much. Kept us updated and asked when something wasn’t clear. He was easy to work with and would ask him to sit again!

Brian & Margot

Brian did a great job caring for our kitties and taking care of our house. He was very responsive, gave us daily updates on the cats, and was a pleasure to communicate with. We came back to a clean house and happy cats!

Kelsey

Kelsey communicated as we requested and was very respectful of our home and our pets. She kept us informed and sent pics of their daily activities and asked questions when needed. We were very please and reuturned home to a house of happy fur kids!

Eleanor

Eleanor was an excellent pet sitter and the animals quickly fell in love with her. My pug even slept with her in bed which made him feel right at home. Good communication and everything was tidy when I got home. Would definitely recommend!

Garth & Joy

This was the second time that Garth and Joy housesat for me, and I had another fantastic experience! It was great to be able to take a longer vacation and not have to worry about my house or cats! Everything was super neat and tidy when I returned. I can't recommend Joy and Garth enough!

Kimberly & Andrew

This was Kimberly and Andrew second sit and it was like welcoming old friends back to the house. Bixby was happy to see them and they did a wonderful job with him. Bix requires a chunk of transition time with those who come and go (including me!) but once a little time passes, he is ready to go. Kimberly and Andrew were patient and attentive to his needs and took him on a great hike on their one full day here. Kimberly also sent photos during the visit and afterward that made me really happy! Kimberly and Andrew are pleasure as sitters and I highly recommend them to you.

Andy

He lived literally ONE mile away from me. This made it easy to meet in advance of the sit and go over details. During this process, he told me he would have to leave soon. This gave me the impression it was a lower priority for him. Being 1 mile away, however brought up some things I hadn't experienced with sitters from out of town. He wanted to know if it was ok to have friends over to my apt. My cat is very shy and timid around strangers and I told him no. He wanted to cook in my kitchen. It was left very messy. 3 cupboard doors left open, food stains on the stove, counter and fridge. Pots, pans and utensils, he used were not put away. For a person who lives one mile away, these are both things I would have thought could have just as easily been done in his own space. Why did he need to use mine and leave it in this condition? He didn't clean out the cat brush, not sure if this was to prove he had brushed my cat. He left the litter scoop IN the litter box. An amateur move, this would make many cats NOT use the litter box. In the past my cat has stopped using the litter box for similar reasons. She is older and relies on steps to climb onto furniture to sit with me or to sleep with me. Cats, creatures of habit, are upset with changes and one of her steps was moved. She's old, the equivalent of a 90 yr old grandma who depends on these things being there for her in the same place. Without telling me he locked the chain on my front door from inside the apt. So I was unable to enter my apt from the front door. After a long trip home, after getting to my front door I discovered, I had to use the back door. Had he just mentioned that in advance it would have been nice. I left my keys in a lockbox and the lockbox was not returned to inside the apt like I asked. The management company has asked us NOT to leave those out. My internet device was left plugged in, I had asked in person and in writing, it be unplugged when not in use. I had asked that bedding not be removed from my bed, I prefer to do that myself as the bed frame is susceptible to easily being damaged. The bedding was left in a pile on the floor with a damp towel at the bottom of that pile. Personally I was taught, if you use something belonging to someone else, including their personal space, to return it to the same or better condition you found it. In my opinion, this was not done for my space and my things. Petcare felt to me, as if it was less than the top priority and that Andy is not very experienced with pet care. Overall, I was unhappy with Andy's care of my pet and my space.

Aycil

Aycil took wonderful care of our pets and our home and left everything spotless and clean when we got back—we'd definitely have her back!

Daniel

Daniel and Iona were very sweet and thoughtful with Rosie. Their updates were timely and detailed, and throughout the daily photos it was apparent that our cat was building a new friendship with them. They also left the house cleaner and more organized than how I left it and were happy to help when I needed them to do me a favor for the house. These are great people and I'm so grateful that they cared for Rosie while I was gone for several weeks ❤️😊

Jason & Darby

It was a pleasure to host Jason. I felt super comfortable leaving my cat and home with him during my trip knowing that everything would be well taken care of. There was great communication, regular updates given, and my place was left clean for when I got back home. Would definitely host again in the future!

Exceptional Pet Sitters - Highly Recommend Diedre and Keith!

I am thrilled to leave a glowing review for our trusted house and pet sitters, Diedre and Keith. They took exceptional care of our long-haired cat, Molly, and our home during our absence. Everything went incredibly smoothly, and their communication was top-notch. Dierdre and Keith provided regular updates, including delightful pictures of Molly, which put our minds at ease while we were away.

Upon our return, it was evident that Molly had been well cared for and was content. The genuine love and understanding Diedre and Keith have for both dogs and cats was apparent in their interactions with Molly, and it was clear that they had made her feel comfortable and secure in their care. Their friendly and professional demeanor made the entire experience truly enjoyable.

In addition to taking great care of our beloved pet, Diedre and Keith ensured that our home was in excellent condition upon our return. They even went the extra mile by informing us about the leftovers they left in the fridge, which was a thoughtful gesture.

I wholeheartedly recommend Diedre and Keith as exceptional pet and house sitters. Their attentive and caring approach, coupled with their expertise, make them a perfect choice for anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy sitters. Don't hesitate to entrust your home and pets to this fantastic duo!

Marybeth and Bryan

Jeff and Amy were absolutely amazing! 
They were extremely flexible, friendly and down to earth. Most importantly, we saw how much they adored our animals and the wonderful care they gave them by our dogs actions when we returned. 
Their communication was great before the sit as well as during the sit, sending welcomed pictures from home. 
We came back to our home looking just as great as we left it and very happy animals. 
We not only are happy with their time here, but we also feel we made new friends for life. 
You will not be disappointed chosing them to care for your home and animals.

Noel

What a complete delight, starting with our first contact with Noel and Justin. Everything was efficient and well organized including communication and their apartment.  The apartment was super clean.  The big picture window with the great view, including Lake Merrit,  made it feel a vacation. We really enjoyed the very eclectic neighborhood;   walking around the lake, up the hill to beautiful homes, quirky shopping/restaurant areas (including Arizmendi bakery),  Trader Joe's, BART and the iconic Fairyland.   Tommy and Yuki were just as described and we felt at home with both them, and they with us -Tommy immediately and Yuki after  a day or two. Just a lovely time.

Sean and Monika

Lovely small flat in a great location, and two gorgeous kitties. Monika and Sean were very welcoming, and left me all the necessary information I needed to look after the cats. I had a delightful time with them.

Natalia

I thoroughly enjoyed sitting for Natalia and Dib.  They made me very welcome to their super London apartment.  Shanti and Manuka are such interesting cats; intelligent, athletic, playful and very easy to care for.  The location is great, close to buses, several underground stations and walking distance to local stores and a large supermarket.  Thank you!

Sydney

It was a pleasure sitting for Sydney and Jim in their lovely traditional home in Seattle.  I looked after two cute cats, Piper and Ike, who soon adapted to having me in the house.  Sydney gave very clear instructions about Piper's medication needs, and how the house operated.  The location was great, 5 minutes walk to the shops, buses to downtown and a coffee shop on the corner.  I was visiting my daughter who lives nearby so I was able to walk to her place daily, absolutely ideal.  This was a great house sit, and I was made to feel very welcome and trusted to look after their precious cargo.  Thank you Sydney and Jim for choosing me.

Jojo

I enjoyed getting to stay at Jojo's flat and looking after Tonic. Tonic is easy-going, cute and fun so caring for her was straightforward. 

The flat is in a great location with lovely views. Everything I needed was nearby. Jojo was already away when I started the sit as she decided to change from having a drop-in sitter to a live-in sitter but we spoke on video and she answered all my questions.

Thank you!

Nazy

Nazy was a wonderful host, very communicative and welcoming. She made sure to check in every day. The apartment was also very clean and well kept. Her cat Daisy was so sweet and very easy to take care of. I had a lovely time staying there. Thanks again Nazy!
