Cat Sitters in North Riverside, IL

Eva & Matt

Eva was amazing! She came and took over for a friend of ours who was watching our cats for the first part of our trip and it was such a seamless transition! Eva communicated well and even took care of a few snags that happened on their arrival (AC went out as soon as they arrived and they dealt with the repairman which we were so grateful for!) It's always a good sign when the cats seem to not care at all that we were even gone so we'd have her and Matt back anytime!

Ruth

Ruth house sat for us over the summer. She was great. She made the effort to come and visit us beforehand so she could learn about our pet routine and the house. She’s lovely - completely reliable and trustworthy. And wonderful with our puppy and old grumpy cat. I’d highly recommend Ruth

Tracy

Tracey is a wonderful pet sitter and a fun person to be around. We are very grateful for her help when we were traveling.

Abby

Abby was amazing, and a total life saver. Our trip needed to be extended past the agreed upon date and Abby adjusted her schedule to help us out. Our fur babies were well taken care of and got quite attached to her. We (humans and furballs) would welcome Abby back anytime.

Victoria

Victoria was so organized, responsible and communicative. My pups were very happy. I would use her again in a puppies heartbeat

Krista

Krista is a great cat and house sitter. Our cat know and loves her, is in good hands with her. Our house is clean, with flowers when we returned. We would recommend her.

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!

Alyssa

Alyssa was amazing. Highly communicative and flexible, she was awesome.

Donna

Donna and her Fiancé Darren are very special people and anyone who has them care for their pets is very fortunate. We highly recommend them.

Phuong

Phuong is a lovely person and Puff and Polly seemed to enjoy her company very much much. She watered the plants and kept the house clean and tidy and even left us some delicious food!

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.

Cailie

Cailie was an amazing dog sitter for Rhu. She was very communicative and left my house cleaner than I left it. I definitely hope to connect in the future!

cathryn

Great to know that Muriel was around to look after our place and Uma for another weekend trip. We are able to leave everything happily to her knowing that all is in safe and reliable hands.

Li

Megan is a lovely human and immediately connected with Eiko and Momo during the first introduction. Eiko is an elderly doggie, and Megan was caring and took all the time needed for meds and special attention. Momo was curled up on her lap in time! She was also very accommodating to us for our travel change, which enabled us to relax while away.
