So glad I found Kim! She took great care of my cat for several days, texted daily updates and provided photos. Highly recommend her!

First of all, I hate leaving my cats. Kim took the time to come over and meet the cats before my vacation. She also sends daily updates while you are gone!!! Also, she even was willing to come if I got delayed another day! Kim is awesome!! Need more proof she gives you references and a picture of her license. She is the real deal!!! read more

Portage Park Cat Sitter - Happy cats!!! - Pet Sitting Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Kim is the best! I used to travel s lot for work and my cat was up in age and needed TLC. Kim was soooo great with her and I never had to worry when I had to leave her. She loved my Maxi and Maxi loved her back. Maxi has since passed so now I have Valentino and he adores Kim! Kim is so good to him! He loves to play and Kim will spend so much time with him each day I'm gone making sure he gets his fill of playtime & love! I'm so happy I found her and can trust her in my home with my cat while I'm away! She truly is the best! read more

If I could give Kim 10 stars I would. She is amazing, so thoughtful, and will take excellent care of your kitties. I've been using her services for several years and each and every day she visits she sends photos and updates and spends time playing with the kitties. I was recently stuck abroad with COVID and unable to return home indefinitely. Kim continued to care for my cats and I had absolutely no worries that they were being well looked after. As if that situation couldn't get worse, my carbon monoxide detector was going off and Kim thoroughly looked into the issue to make sure my cats were safe. Highly recommend, Kim is amazing! read more

After moving to the Northwest side, I needed a new cat sitter and I'm so happy I found Kim! She clearly loves cats, and came over with a cat toy and good attitude to meet my two senior boys. The older cat needs meds added to his food - which Kim was able to do for him when I was out of town. Kim made me feel comfortable when I was away knowing my cats were in her care, and shared pictures and updates each visit to calm my mind. The boys obviously love her visits and company based on all the pictures Kim shares! The cats have complicated feeding requirements, which is why I can't simply have a friend come over to open cans of food. Kim asked for a list of instructions and handled the feedings and meds no problemo. My travel home was delayed due to weather - Kim was able to add on extra visits to make sure I had coverage until I returned. I'm so happy to have found Kim - she'll make it so much easier for me to travel knowing that she's in the neighborhood to care for my cats. read more

Kim was awesome! She came twice a day to feed and play with Norwood. She always took photos and texted them to us, which eased my mind while we were away on a long trip. He looked well taken care of when we got back. Will definitely call on her again. :) read more

Portage Park Cat Sitter - Pet Sitting Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

Kim is a fantastic pet sitter and I can't recommend her enough. We had a cancellation by a family friend three days before a two week vacation and we were really in a jam. We contacted Kim that evening and she responded promptly. She was able to swing by for a meet n greet, provided excellent references and we booked her. First time I ever saw my normally shy and scared furr baby actually stay out to hi to a stranger. We received updates from Kim every time she visited, letting us know how our cat was doing which I really appreciated. Additionally she watered our plants during a horrible heat wave, took in the mail and took excellent care of our home and little one. It was the first time we came back from a long trip where our cat didn't look stressed. Her fur was nicely groomed, and while she missed us- I could tell she was well taken care of. I honestly can't recommend her services enough, and we will be using her again!! read more

I can not put into words how happy I am to have discovered Kim with Portage Park Cat Sitter. She is absolutely wonderful! She takes such great care of my 2 cats that I feel relaxed and at ease when I have to leave them for extended periods of time. She always sends me daily updates with pictures, which let's me know that they are doing well. When I come home they are very happy/relaxed and very affectionate. Additionally, I had a small problem with my home while I was away and she texted me right away and took care of the problem. I highly, highly recommend Kim and her services. She is absolutely amazing! read more

Kim has watched out kitty and our small chihuahua several times now, and we don't trust just anyone to come into our home and care for our pets. She came highly recommended from a friend, and Kim hasn't disappointed. While our animals don't require much special care, they are needy in terms of affection, and she provides that in spades. I love getting the pictures she sends while we are gone so we know all is ok. Thanks Kim! read more

Kim is wonderful. She cares deeply for my cat and offers excellent advice as well. I'm so glad she looks after my boy when I'm out of town.

Kim is amazing! She has taken great care of our two girls several times when we were out of town, and they LOVE her. She has been reliable, accommodating of our schedules and cat's changing needs, sends much appreciated daily updates with photos and is so good with them. Even our super shy girl, who exactly four people including my partner and I have ever seen, comes out for Kim! read more

Kim did a great job with our cat Capri while we were away. She texted daily with updates and pix so we knew all was well. She came over ahead of our trip to meet our cat and get details on her needs. Capri hates rain and thunder and one of the days it was storming, she convinced her to come out from under the bed and helped reassure her. She also watered some of our wilting plants and took in our mail. We'll definitely use her again and my cat gives her five paws! read more

We recently went away on vacation for a week and left our two kitties home alone for the first time. We found Kim and are so glad we did! She sent thoughtful texts every day and made sure our two babies were well fed and cared for. We will be calling Kim again! read more

Kim is amazing! Our relatively new shelter cat has some anxiety when we're gone too long, and we were worried about leaving her for the week. When we met Kim in preparation for our trip, it was easy to tell she was a pro. She could handle Misha better than we could, and knew just how to deal with her occasional nips when playing. Kim assuaged all of our fears by providing daily updates, tons of pictures, and lots of love! She answered our messages promptly (we were in another time zone so that is not an easy feat!) and kept us reassured that our darling cat was played with, cleaned up after, and cared for. She is our go-to cat-sitter henceforth, and I'm sure Misha would have it no other way. Thanks, Kim! read more

I found Kim last year after I moved into the area and am very pleased with her. She takes great care of my 2 cats when I'm away and always sends photos of them. Last summer I had to go away after one of my cats had some teeth pulled. Because of that they couldn't eat their regular food and were being a bit picky about the replacement food. Kim sent me detailed updates about their eating and even offered to bring some of her own food for them to try. I highly recommend Kim. read more

I don't know why there is only one review for Kim. She's amazing. We went away on a 6 day trip and had no worries as Kim took care of our two cats so well. We have a shy cat who suffered an injury, and Kim was really loving and patient with him and even got him to come out and play. She was flexible, intelligent, caring and very professional. She is also very affordable. We are so nervous leaving our cats at any time with anyone but will feel confident using Kim again and again. We hope she is in business for a very long time. read more

Kim is awesome!! Having only met her a few days prior to needing her services, she did an amazing job making us feel comfortable. She played with our cats, fed them and cleaned up afterwards and I think what I liked the most -- she kept us updated throughout the entire process! Constant texts and pictures showing our happy cats. We will be using her again and I'd be more than happy to be a future reference. read more

Kim is amazing. We recently moved to the area and I was very nervous about the idea of having a stranger in our home (and more importantly, taking care of my babies) but we struck gold! Kim's text updates and thorough and conscientious care put my mind at east during our trip. My kitties are generally pretty wary of strangers but when she came to return our keys after our trip they both came right out to say hi! She's kitty-tested, cat-mother approved! read more

Kim is fantastic! Always dependable, even on short notice. Her and her staff are extremely knowledgable and attentive. Even when our one old boy who has since passed was sick, we had no worries that he'd be in good hands. We look forward to the daily pics and updates she sends while we're away, even though Monkey is always blurry because she's so excited to see Kim (and get fed)! Also, super inexpensive for the services provided. read more

We are so glad that we found Kim! We used to board our cats because we weren't sure about turning over our keys to someone we didn't know. Kim came by on a weekend morning to meet the us and the cats and to see where the food and litter we kept and I liked her instantly. She cared our cats for two weeks, even over holidays. She was also very understanding when we let a friend stay at our house at the last minute and when neighbors stopped by to check on pipes and things. Our cats were totally spoiled. Kim played on the floor with them every day. Even the shy cat and the stand-offish cat came out running out to play when we got home, although I think they were disappointed to see us walking in the door instead of her. Kim is just great. She sent us updates and photos and asked questions when she needed to. It felt so good to know they were at home, not stressed and being well-cared for by someone who enjoys hanging out with cats. We will call Kim every time from now on. We highly recommend Kim! read more

We had a wonderful experience having Kim look in on our two cats while we were away for a week-long trip. Kim is the perfect combination of friendly and professional and went above and beyond what we expected from a cat sitter. She took time to get acquainted with both us and our cats during our initial consultation, listened carefully to all our concerns, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving our cats in her care. While we were away Kim always provided us with daily updates, including pictures, which put us at ease knowing our cats were well cared for. I would not hesitate to recommend Kim's services and will unquestionably use her again. read more

Kim is fantastic! We were heading out of town for a long weekend and needed to find a sitter ASAP - am so happy we found Kim! She came to our house to meet our two boys and was super patient as I walked her through their feeding process and daily routine. She clearly loves cats and my boys took to her immediately. While away, she sent us pictures and texts each day to let us know how our boys were doing, and even took time to play with them and give them pets while we were away. Our vacation was stress-free knowing our boys were in such good hands - will definitely use her again! And, her rates are extremely reasonable. read more

Kim watched my two cats while I was away for ten days. She sent lots of pictures and updates after each visit and took the time to play with them and give them lots of attention. Everything was seamless and I knew my cats were in good hands. We will certainly call upon Kim going forward when we are out of town! read more

Kim was awesome! We have two feral cats we feed morning & evening. Kim met with us at our house a few days before we left for vacation to understand feeding requirements. While we were gone she sent us twice daily updates (and pics when she could get them) which we looked forward to every day. As a bonus, she also took in packages that were left on our front porch and made sure our gates were closed. We will definitely use her again!! read more

Kim is the best!!! I had Kim visit my two fur-babies twice a day for six days and she did an excellent job. She took great care of my kitties by playing with them, giving one of my kitties his medication and spending time with them. I felt very relaxed knowing that they were in good hands with Kim. She would send pictures/text every single day, which makes a huge difference because you know that your fur-babies are being taken cared of. I would highly recommend Portage Park Cat Sitter, Kim, she has this wonderful passion and love for cats that truly comes through. read more

Kim is the best! We took a family vacation for a week and I was so worried about leaving my babies! Kim took excellent care of our cats. She sent pictures and updates everyday. I would use Kim in a heartbeat! read more

Kim is a great cat sitter. My cat adores her. She sends texts each day with pictures of my cat and keeps me updated on how everything is going. She is very conscientious and I have no worries when I'm traveling and she's watching things here. I will call on her again the next time I travel in a heartbeat. read more
