Cat Sitters in Inverness, IL

Alibe

I think our dog, Mookie, is depressed since Alibe left because they had such a good time while we were away. She sent us regular updates about Mookie and our home. She was a wonderful communicator who sent us regular updates. We came home to a well-loved doggy and sparkling house. We feel very lucky that Alibe decided to spend the holidays with our Mookie. She's the best!

Apriel K

Apriel did a great job and the dogs had lots of fun as her little dog came along with her. The 3 of them romped all day and I think mine were a little disappointed when we got home. Everything was in good shape and the plants were watered and survived the 100 degree heat.

Tim

Tim and his sons were amazing houseguests. They took great care of my pups and treated my home as if it were their own. Definitely recommend.

Anna

Anna was very good about communicating with me before and during her sit. She was also cooperative about coming one day early to meet the pups before I left on my trip. I felt comfortable leaving my precious pups in her care. I cleaned the house before my trip, and Anna left the guest bedroom and bathroom in good shape. The kitchen, however, was not left as clean as I had hoped. Other than that, I was pleased with the sit.

Suzanne

Suzanne is the most organized sitter we have encountered through zeewoi. She actually had a list of 30 well thought out questions for us during our first FaceTime call. She excelled at remaining in communication with us both before and during our sit. Meeting her was like meeting a ray of sunshine. She immediately set out to bond with JD and Leilani from the first moment she met them. Her daily videos were greatly appreciated. It was clear to us that our fur babies were in great hands. When the second leg of our return trip was delayed due to weather which caused the airline to rebook our last leg until the next morning she graciously altered her own plans to accommodate the change in our original plans. She dropped us off at the airport and picked us up upon our return. Suzanne takes pride in her pet sitting and is truly a gem. Your pets will be well cared for. We highly recommend Suzanne.

Kimberly & Blair

Kim and Blair were excellent sitters that i highly recommend. From the first video call I knew all would be in good hands by the thorough information sharing and attention to detail that was followed up with an email to confirm. Communication was excellent. from beginning to end, and my home was left spotless and my dog happy and tired. Kim and Blair really show they care about the sit and the pet and so my dog hit it off with them right away. They gave my dog quality time and care. You will be happy you were able to secure these sitters!

Alex & Ryann

Alex and Ryann were incredible! They included our Calvin in so many fun hikes and adventures! He has so much fun and they constantly kept us updated with pictures and texts. We would definitely welcome them back again! ☺️

Naomi

Naomi took really good care of Beck!

Andrea & Nicholas

Andrea and Nicolas did a very good job in caring for our pets. We came home after being away for a week to happy pets which was really important to us. They arrived at our home on time and braved through our instructions for over an hour, asking good questions and taking notes. These are two fine and trustworthy young adults and we were happy to leave our pets in their care. Thank you both! Patty

Nate

Nate is fantastic! He did a splendid job watching our pup, Turkey, and cat, Doug, while we were away on our honeymoon for two weeks. He even stayed later than needed when we had flight issues on the way home. Nate is great, we feel very lucky to work with him.

Liliia & Vladislav

Liilia and Vladislav took care of our dog and cats over the weekend and everything was great. Liliia was easy to communicate with before the sit and I never worried about the animals. The house was left clean and tidy and the pets happy. We would not hesitate to use them again.

Gwendolyn

Gwen and her daughter Moon were absolute lifesavers! They came to the rescue at the last minute when my other sitter canceled. Gwen was incredibly flexible and relaxed, and she kept me updated with regular updates and adorable cat pictures while I was away. They were so accommodating, and I can't recommend them enough!

Angie

Fabulous sitters, from the first communication to leaving at the end of the sit. 
Following a video call with Andrew we knew straight away we would be leaving our home and two rescue dogs and cat in safe and capable hands.  
Andrew and Olya and Julia their lovely daughter (she is at University but helps out when she can) are experienced sitters and animal lovers. Our German Shepherd Max has daily medication and nothing was too much trouble. Super organised with the furries and around the house.
Upon our return Olya and Julia had made dinner for us all which was wonderful and exceptionally good. The house was immaculate and Max Rosie and BaT the cat  were very happy and relaxed. We will all miss them and hope for their return. If you are able to book them you wont be disappointed, highly recommended.

Victoria

Rhys is a lovely man. He came round to meet us, our rabbit and see the house before the sit. He was really self sufficient and I knew he would look after both our pets and our house - which he did brilliantly.
