Cat Sitters in South Elgin, IL

Claire and Rosemary were perfect! Given that I had had a very bad experience with housesitters a month before their sit, I was more apprehensive than I've been. But from our initial interview I knew they would be great. I feel badly that I left the house in the handover in slight disorder, with the festive season and packing to go abroad as well as cleaning up from the privious housesitters who did a lot of damage, I wasn't able to handover to Claire and Rosemary the way I would normally do so, with a full guide and instructions written out, a spotless house etc. But with all of that and given the sit wasn't very long, Claire and Rosemary did incredibly well! I managed to run through everything the morning I left with them in person, they were communicative and helpful, gave me regular updates and left the place clean and the animals well cared for. I felt relieved when I got back, it was a very nice feeling. I highly recommend them, I'm sorry we didn't get more time to chat and get to know each other, the fesitve season was particularly chaotic this year. I would gladly have them back if they were available!

Doug & Bonnie were great. The girls were very loved and cared for when we were gone. They even left us a cute little gift. Highly recommend!

Kelly and Tyler were wonderful pet caregivers and house sitters. They communicated well with us before and after the sit, and took great care of our dog, cat and goats. We returned to a tidy house and happy, relaxed animals. They asked good questions and connected so well with our pets.

Jen was here for 4 weeks. She went above and beyond, handled a major irrigation leak and helped in the repair. I came home to many outside projects done. Pool, "she shed" clean and organized - such a great surprise. Not to mention happy dogs and chickens. Happy to have her sit anytime. Safe, fun travels Jen.

Liz and Jose are the perfect pet sitters! They communicate well, are personable and clearly know and like dogs. We came home to happy and relaxed dogs and a spotless house! We highly recommend them and would not hesitate to use again.

Rae treated our dogs and home like they were her own. She was wonderful!

Lisa was an amazing care giver and sitter for our home. We would most certainly invite her back. She came in a day early to learn the routine of the pets and put up with a chaotic household full of our family as we prepared for our trip. Couldn't be more grateful for her watching over our home. Wrigley, our dog, still stands outside the guest bedroom each night since we returned home, hoping Lisa might be there. There is no better review than that.

Ralph and Barb were great sitters. They loved Finn, gave him plenty of exercise and attention, and were exceptional home sitters. We'd welcome them back any time. They were clear communicators, attentive, and fast to respond to answer or ask any questions. So we were able to enjoy our time away without any cares or concerns. Thanks Barb and Ralph, Michael and Cathy

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!

I cannot recommend Karla highly enough; we all absolutely loved her instantly! From the moment she arrived, straight from an overnight flight, she was keen to understand our needs, meet our pets and get familiar with our home. This included instantly bonding with our skittish, 10 year old cat! Whilst we were away, Karla sent frequent emails, including photos and video, to update us on how things were going, which was incredibly reassuring. On our return, everything was left beautifully clean and tidy, with cupboards replenished with lots of tasty treats, ailing plants (including a coriander plant that had been trying to die) restored to lustrous life and our garden revitalised under Karla's expert eye. We're very much hoping to stay in touch with Karla in the future as it felt like we'd left our pets and home with a friend.

Julia is a 5 star pet sitter. We highly recommend her. She took wonderful care of our dear little Marley as well as our home. She and Marley bonded well from the very beginning. She is a very loving and compassionate person. Every day she sent us pictures and a report as to how Marley was doing via text. We could tell by the pictures that he was very happy with her. We feel very fortunate to have found Julia and would definitely love to have her take care of Marley again.

Another phenomenonal sit by Mike and Kathy! These two are some of the most genuine, caring people I have met in a long time. My dogs are THRILLED to see them! Your home and pets are in loving hands when you host Mike & Kathy. 🤩
