Aya was the best cat sitter we’ve ever had! She helped with everything from putting out and replacing pee pads for one grumpy cat and giving IV fluids and pills to our sick cat. She was a great communicator and even watered our Christmas tree so we didn’t come home to a dead tree! 10/10 would love to have Aya cat sit again!

Aya was fantastic! She was very professional and clearly loves cats! She sent lots of photos and detailed updates about her time with them, which allowed me peace of mind while I had to be away. Aya was very quick to respond, flexible, and easy to communicate with.

Aya was a phenomenal sitter! It was the first time leaving my kitties for longer than a week and Aya ensured they were well cared for so I didn’t need to stress! She sent regular updates and made sure my youngest got her inhaler each day. I appreciated her attention to detail and the care she provided for my guys. Would absolutely hire her again!

Aya came through for us on short notice and did an amazing job with our kitties. She kept us updated on everything with lots of pics and videos. She also let us know when Jesse was being a picky eater and tried lots of things to get her to eat successfully! We really appreciate Aya’s care and attention when we’re away from our babies. highly recommend!

Aya was great! and Fred took to her right away. She sent lots of pictures which I love! Played with him, figured out right away which toys he DOES NOT like and got him moving with the toys he does. He ate without a problem for her and I came home to a clean litter box. In addition, she was willing to feed my one cat feral colony which was really nice. I highly recommend her.

This is the second time I have arranged to have Aya watch Fred. She is extremely reliable and accommodating! She lets you know when she’s on her way, sends great pics and establishes rapport with Fred quickly and engages him in play! She had to put a liquid med in his food this visit which didn’t trouble her at all! AND she’s always happy to fill the bowl of my feral bachelor kitty on the back porch. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Aya was an absolutely outstanding cat sitter! With tremendous attention to detail, she cared for, played with, and made friends with all of my 9 cats! Not only were their food/litter needs meticulously taken care of, but there was lots of playtime and socialization and fun! She also made many helpful suggestions and communicated consistently with lots of photos of my little guys. Highly recommend! 😸

Aya was amazing! She took great care of my 2 cats and made sure they got plenty of treats and playtime. She sent a lot of videos and pictures so I knew my kitties were doing well. She also pointed out an issue with my sink leaking so I could act on it as soon as I was back home, which was really helpful.

I was nervous about finding a new sitter after moving from the apartment we’d been in for the last seven years, but hiring Aya was the best decision I could have made! Fitz would normally run and hide from strangers, including his previous cat sitters, but he seemed to do really well this time, and even came out to play and say hello. I super appreciated knowing he was in good hands while I was out of town.

Aya was amazing! Sent photos throughout her time with my cats and was so kind. I booked less than a week before my trip and was so grateful she accepted my dates. Thank you SO much again, Aya!

Aya was amazing! One of my three cats got an eye infection while I was gone and it was my shyest cat. She was able to get him out and give him meds! She kept me updated and sent photos! My cats are my babies and I don’t trust just anyone to care for them. I will definitely be hiring Aya again and I highly recommend her!

Aya was a fantastic cat sitter. She was entrusted with the care of two cats whose owner had recently died, and came to feed them twice a day for a week. She figured out what treats they like, and when we got back, the cats were noticeably and considerably more sociable and friendly. She is a true cat whisperer!

My reservation went perfectly. Aya made me feel completely at ease by keeping me updated with photos and following all of my instructions carefully. My cat absolutely loved her and even played with her — which is a huge compliment from him!

Aya was an absolutely amazing cat sitter! She took such great care of our beloved Tink man while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She made sure he got his medications on time, showed him so much love and attention, and really went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and cared for. Aya asked thoughtful questions to ensure she fully understood Tink’s needs, and she kept us updated with the sweetest photos that gave us so much peace of mind. She even offered to spend extra time with him beyond what we had originally planned — such a kind and generous gesture! We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be calling on her again. Highly, highly recommend!

Aya was an excellent sitter for our two cats! She gave thorough updates with great photos each day. Both cats, including our shy and anxious rescue, seemed to have no trouble warming up to her. I highly recommend Aya and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.

Aya was very helpful and patient with my cat. Even with the unexpected aggressiveness he had, she was gentle. I really appreciate her for being understanding. She responded very quickly and she gave needed, detailed updates. She also sent the cutest pictures of my cat which helped me feel better while being away from him. I really appreciate her for being a greater sitter!

Aya was wonderful with my cats yet again! She always provides thorough updates, and was even sure to check back in with me a few times after a travel mishap interrupted my phone connection. It is so reassuring to have someone like Aya to care for my babies when I’m away!

Aya watched our two cats for almost two full weeks while my wife and I were on our honeymoon and we couldn't be happier. She improvised some food changes to help with stress vomiting, sent us pictures every day (even ones of the shy one hiding under the couch) and was overall a fantastic sitter.

Aya made me feel much more comfortable leaving my baby alone. She charmed her completely and sent such sweet photos of her playing to calm my nerves.

We were very happy with how Aya cared for our three cats while we were away. She spent time with each of them, made sure everyone got their meds and, of course, took care of food, water and litter each day. She sent me pictures of all three of them and chatted with me via text about how they were doing. She also had no problem with the electronic lock and security alarm (some people do). We will definitely call on Aya again.

Aya was great! Excellent communication, cute photos, applied meds, and lots of good feedback while taking care of Meeks. Woild definitely reserve with Sya again.

AYA responsible, caring and very punctual. She always sends pictures and lets me know what's going on. She will clean up little accidents and do the cat dishes without asking from hen. A+

Aya did an amazing job- we have multiple cats and it can be complicated to keep track of what they all need, but Aya did a perfect job. She even got our grouchiest cat to take his medicine (no other cat sitter has been able to.) She sent daily updates and photos, was very responsive, and even took out the trash and ran the dishwasher on her last day. We will definitely use her again for any future cat-sitting needs- very highly recommend!

Aya was great! Communicative, able to manage two very different cat personalities, and was great with both in person care and maintaining robotic cat feeders. Thank you Aya!

Aya is very dependable and did a great job taking care of my cats. She provided thorough daily updates along with pictures. One of my cats tends to be very shy, but she warmed up to Aya very quickly. I feel very comfortable leaving my cats in Aya’s care and would definitely book with her again.

Aya was lovely and shared regular updates and photos when visiting my cat. She is responsive and I will definitely be booking her again.

Aya was responsible, on time for my requested morning visits, and sent daily updates of my babies. Couldn’t ask for more! Would highly recommend.

Aya was awesome! I had a very unpredictable trip in many ways but my nerves were eased. Everything was calm when I got home and my baby was happy. Recommend!!!!!

Aya was a fantastic cat sitter and playmate! We will definitely be booking with her again.

One time I had to travel to Middle East due to family emergency and I did not have a time to look for a cat sitter. I called Aya as a friend just to vent about the situation and Aya stepped up and told me she will take care of them. She actually drove 45 minutes to my place and took care of them for 10 days. Aya is truly amazing and her kindness saved me a lot of stress and expenses.

Aya is a reliable, responsible, and easy to communicate with cat sitter. She has a background in medicine and is experienced with proper administrative of medications for cats. She very clearly loves all kitties, including her own!

Aya is a background-checked cat sitter in the Oak Park area. Their profile has been verified and their references have been checked by Meowtel.
