Cat Sitting in Crystal Lake

Chloe is a fantastic sitter for our cats! They have really taken to her, even our shy girl cat. Her daily reports are a welcome part of our mornings when we're away from home. Extremely friendly and reliable, she's the perfect sitter for your animals!

Thanks, Lauren. My cats were so well cared for and happy during your overnight week of stays with them. They will love any visits in the future.

We had a wonderful experience boarding our two senior cats with Ivanka. This was our first time using a pet sitter, and we were a little nervous. However, Ivanka made the entire process incredibly easy. She reassured us the whole time. From the moment we dropped them off until we picked them up several days later, Ivanka kept in regular contact, sending thoughtful updates, videos, and photos. She was receptive to everything we asked, even administering eye drops to one of our girls after we noticed in a video that her eyes looked irritated. That kind of attentiveness meant the world to us. Her home is clean, calm, and free from overpowering scents or fragrances. The dedicated cat room has a cozy cubby, wall shelves, a tunnel, a window perch, and a screened door that allows the cats to see and hear what’s going on in the house without being overwhelmed. It gave our girls a safe, quiet bubble while still allowing them to feel included. Ivanka was also incredibly patient and understanding with our bossy elder girl, who can be very vocal and demanding. Rather than getting frustrated, she simply worked around her (many) quirks. We’re especially grateful that she allowed us to extend their stay by a day at the last minute without any issue. That kind of flexibility, combined with her evident love and understanding of cats, gave us total peace of mind. When we brought the girls home, they were calm and relaxed—just a little tired from the new experience, but not stressed. That’s a remarkable outcome for two elderly cats who had never been away from their humans before. We trust Ivanka completely and will absolutely be using her again. Her care made a stressful time so much easier. We’re truly grateful.

Nicole did a great job managing my menagerie of animals!

Carolyn was amazing! She went above and beyond, even taking thoughtful steps such as taking my trash can out for trash day despite me not requesting her to. She provided great photos and updates on my cats that really helped me to feel assured that they were in good hands while I was away. She even took the time to try and get my boys to come out of their shells a little! Would definitely recommend!!

Mackenzie was great with our three cats. She showed up at the agreed upon time, took care of our cats and the litter boxes, sent pictures and responded to our messages, we definitely will reach out to her again when we need help!

Many thanks to Janet for taking such good care of my kitties! I was happy to receive her updates and cute pictures and I knew my boyzz were in good hands. A great first experience!

This was my first time leaving my 6 month old kitten with a sitter and Maria was truly wonderful! We chose to leave Juniper with Maria in her home. She turned out to be pretty shy with her cats, but Maria was patient and accommodating to this. She sent plenty of pictures and was communicative the whole time. If you’re looking for a cat lover who really gets cat behavior, this is your girl! She even has a corner for those cool cat climbing shelves!

I appreciate the care and time Kristin gave to my boy while I was away! She sent updates and pictures and was available to come out prior to my time away in order to meet my cat and learn a bit about him. Would definitely recommend!

Cece did a great job taking care of our cats over the busy Thanksgiving holiday. We received updates daily and our kitties were happy when we came home. I would recommend to anyone thinking about leaving their pets with a caregiver to use Cece.

Brian did a great job caring for Gordie. Each day we looked forward to seeing the photos he would send along. He was prompt at replying to any inquiries we had.

Sarah was wonderful - this was our first experience using Rover and I was pleasantly surprised! She answers very quickly and is super flexible - we met with her a week prior, had her over to meet the cats and us, and walked her through their care routine. Her report cards after each visits were super detailed, she took pictures of the clean litter boxes and full bowls of food to let us know that our babies were taken care of. Super grateful for our awesome experience. We’ll definitely be using Sarah again.
