Cat Sitters in Long Grove, IL

What a joy and an honor it was to have Phyllis and Jerry care for my home and my pets. I could write an epistle to describe in detail how much they did and how well they accomplished each responsibility. Our correspondence began many months ahead of my posted dates. Throughout this time, we stayed connected, and as we got closer, we shared more details about my home and care for the pets. Response time was prompt, friendly and courteous. They were incredibly flexible and understanding when I had to adjust my flight time and date. They arrived early on my departure day so we could have time for orientation, lunch, and conversation. Phyllis and Jerry were meticulous in following the instructions I left for cat and home care. They were dedicated to assuring me that things at home were going well by sending pictures of the cats included with special vignettes. They were respectful of my home and took great care of everything as if it were their own. For example, when the hose unexpectedly burst in the back yard on a hot day, they carried water in a bucket to my young Arbor Vitae trees. They are the kind of people who go the “extra mile” based on their high values and elevated work ethics. When I returned home, everything was glistening and spotless. The carpets had been vacuumed, the laundry completed, the dishwasher and waste baskets emptied, the stove shined, and the kitty litter was scooped and cleaned. My fur babies were happy and relaxed, an indication that they had excellent care while I was away. A delightful surprise was the colorful Autumn gift basket and note they left on the counter. I highly recommend Phyllis and Jerry in every way. They exceeded my expectations and fulfilled every task. They are friendly, enthusiastic, and fun to be around, and both have had a wide variety of experiences that translate into good common sense and wise decisions. It was truly my privilege to have the opportunity to meet them and to benefit from all they had to offer me, my home, and my cats.

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!

Hodan and Sami continue to be great guests in our home and caretakers of our cats! We’ve had them stay before and they continue to be a pleasure. Our cats were well taken care of and Sami does a fantastic job at keeping us updated. He even checked in to make sure that the food machines were full and double checked to make sure that the right food was used to refill them. They were also flexible with our schedule as our flight was cancelled and we had to arrive the next day. To make sure our cats were well taken care of, they stayed longer to keep the cats company. We’d recommend Hodan and Sami to anyone who wants to ensure a great stay!

Jamie did a terrific job watching our urban farm (goats, chickens and cats) for a week, managing the additional chaos of 3 baby goats and bottle-feeding the runt. Jamie was game for the new experience, and rose to the occasion. We came home to a clean house and happy critters. A+ house and petsitting. We would have Jamie back anytime.

I didn’t worry at all about my pup when I was gone. Steven kept me up to date with pictures. I could tell my dog was happy and content when I got home. The apartment was also taken well care of.

Elena was a dream sitter for my first time here on Zeewoi. I was a bit nervous to try this app with a lengthy international trip, but Elena quickly dispelled any concerns I initially had. From our first video chat she seemed friendly and reliable. Those instincts would quickly be confirmed as she was understanding with my travel itinerary (meeting game beforehand to hand off keys and walk though my welcome guide) and provided regular updates regarding the care of my very affectionate 60 lb pittbull. When I returned from my trip my home was spotless and my pet was loved and cared for. She even went above and beyond my check out list washing the linens and towels, making the bed, taking out the trash, and even cleaning the sinks! Thank you so much Elena. If our travel schedules should align again in the future, I’d be happy to host you again.

Crosley loves Ebony! She is respectful and tidy. Communication is great and I would love to have her sit for Crosley again!

Carrie is AWESOME! Somehow, no matter how much we clean before leaving, our house always looks cleaner when we return. She definitely goes above and beyond. More importantly, our Mixi is happy to see Carrie and the photos show her completely comfortable (and inviting petting) and eating well. Carrie keeps us updated and at ease with delightful photos and messages. She is the ideal sitter and will continue to be the first we invite when we are going away.

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.

I know Duke was safe and well taken care of.

Shena was excellent with Jack and took wonderful care of our home while we were away for a week. She was ontop of it with communication, so caring and sweet with Jack, and kept our home looking like nobody even stayed there (so tidy!) we miss our boy so much while we’re away so greatly appreciated the sweet pictures she sent of him. Jack seems to have really bonded with her too. Shena is welcome any time!

Kate was amazing with our pup, Daisy. Daisy requires medicine and extra care, and Kate was wonderful. While Daisy was happy to have us back home, I think she misses Kate! Kate also helped us water plants and get our mail as well as other household chores. This was very helpful as we were gone for so long overseas. We would not hesitate in recommending Kate to serve your sitting needs.
