Cat Sitting in Lake in the Hills

Alyssa was wonderful! She and Lumi cat hit it off right away. They enjoyed play time together, she sent fun action shots of Lumi with his feather toy and took care of meals, lights, etc. Everything was taken care of. Thanks Alyssa!

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.

Rachael was wonderful! Incredibly communicative - her report cards gave me such good peace of mind while I was away from my babies. Super flexible as far as the initial meet and greet and exchanging keys. I will absolutely be using her again when I am out of town. 🩷

Bonded with my kitties and very communicative! Would absolutely book her services again :)

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!

Thank you Laura for being wonderful, reliable and kind to my fur baby cat. You are so much more than a pet sitter. You’re a thoughtful and caring caregiver to furry family members. You gave me peace of mind when I couldn’t be there and so happy with your services. Thank you!!

Thanks Natalie for checking on my cats while I was away on vacation. I felt very good knowing they were being checked up on.

Marie was wonderful. My cat Tony needed an insulin shot daily and she had no problem administering that. She sent cute daily pictures which were fun to see. I would highly recommend her!

Our experience with Samantha was overall amazing! The day before we were due to travel, one of our cats got very sick and our travel day was actually spent taking her to an emergency vet. We didn’t know when/if we would be traveling, but Samantha was super communicative and understanding through all of the uncertainty/changing plans. We ended up cancelling our trip, but we would love to work with Samantha again in the future. One of our cats is very skittish around new people, but she let Samantha pet her quite quickly so I was grateful to find someone Baby Grace was comfortable with.
