♥  Over 15 Years Experience in Cat Behavior & Care

Cats are characters - plain & simple. They all have their own distinct personalities, characteristics & traits. We respect and recognizes that each cat is an individual, and needs to be approached in a manner that it is comfortable with.
 
Shy or scared cats are the ones that made us realize the unique talent, sense and intuition we have with them. A few of our cat clients have cats that are skittish or shy and only come out for their owners. However, these cats trust us and will come out for us.
 
No matter what we always makes sure we get an eye on all of the cats in our care! We will get down on the floor to peer under beds, couches & other furniture to get a visual on them. We hunt for them as long as it takes, and some are pretty good hiders!
 
Although we love the Domestic Short Hair, and the Domestic Long Hairs aka "mutt" cats, we also has breed knowledge. We knows the personalities and traits that can be associated with the breeds and some "special needs" they may require. Some of the breeds she has worked with are Sphynx, Bengal, Persian, Blue Russians, Maine Coon, Abyssinian, Siamese, & Bermese.
 
We also have knowledge for working with special needs cats. With 2 Certified Veterinary Assistants on staff we have the training to be able to work with multiple medical issues that cats are prone to.  We specializes in the care of diabetic, and chronic renal (kidney) failure cats.  We are not easily deterred by kitties who tend to get upset with getting medicated.


There is no extra charge for giving pills. However, there is an additional fee for giving subcutaneous fluids due to the time & set up involved. Our mission is to help cat owners so they have the opportunity & freedom to take a much needed vacation or trip out of town. Giving pet owners peace of mind that their furry friend in good knowledgeable hands and well cared for by a loving compassionate professional.
Then there is the fun of caring for the little ones! The rambunctious, playful, inquisitive kittens! They can be a handful too though. Getting into mischief and things they aren't supposed to. They needs a little more supervision than an adult cats.


There are many different factors involved when it comes to a cats care. To avoid unforeseen incidents we has minimum visit limits. Some cats can be left alone longer than others.  We are always happy to make more than the minimum amount of visits. It depends on whatever the pet owner is comfortable with. These depend on each individual situation. We will make recommendations if we feel more visits are necessary. Normally cats that are purrfectly healthy and on a dry food diet and a large water supply can go with visits every other day. However cats with medical needs or kittens should be visited once or twice a day depending on the situation.
 
We work on establishing your cats trust, and monitor your cats food consumption, water consumption & urination’s. While caring for your cat we are happy to scoop litter boxes, and are familiar with the various types of cat litter and litter boxes that are on the market. We can refill and change their water and knows how to work the multiple types of water fountains and filters that cat owners have.
 
Our team is also very knowledgeable when it comes to diets and foods for cats. We have dealt with feeding multiple brands, dry, prescription, canned, and raw forms. We are also have team members that know how to force feed cats for medical reasons. We are an affiliate for Young Again Pet Foods since February 2012 and is knowledgeable in their diets and formulas. We also have knowledge and are representatives for Blue Buffalo Pet Food. We keep an eye out for food recalls & will bring it to the cat owner’s attention if she finds a recalled diet being fed.
 
We know that with age our feline friend’s health care needs grow. Our feline friends are now living to be 20+ years old! They are a bit more fragile and need a little extra TLC & patience. We knows the signs to watch for to keep our furry friends out of trouble. From upper respiratory infections, to not wanting to eat, not using the litter box, trouble using the litter box. She enables cat owners to be able to keep their pets at home and care for the in their own environment when they are ill.
 
Don't be afraid to ask us questions or for our opinion on something with your cat. We are always willing to offer a tip, suggestion or method that may be able to assist you in caring and spoiling your kitty! We have a vast knowledge of the products out on today’s kitty market & which one may be best suited for your situation.

 

Shannon's Purr-fect Pet Sitting is amazing. They recently took care of my two cats while I was out of town. This was the 2nd time I used their services and I am so grateful for their kindness and caring for my cats. The 1st time they took care of the cats (while I was out of town) was last November. At that time, both cats got terribly sick (out of the blue) while we were gone. Turns out they had been carrying a virus which decided to come out, in full force, while I was away. Shannon's Purr-fect Pet Sitting  went above and beyond and made sure the cats were taken care of just as I would have. They knew just what to do and immediately took the cats to the vet. They then checked in on them (at the vet) knowing I was out of town. I was blown away at how caring they were. I can't imagine what I would have done had Shannon's Purr-fect Pet Sitting not been caring for the cats while I was gone. Needless to say, when I needed to go out of town again recently, just knowing Purrf-fect Pet Sitting would be here to take care of the cats gave me such peace of mind. Mind you, they came out to take care of the cats during the worst weather Chicago has seen in 30 years. 18 degrees below 0 couldn't and didn't keep them away, not even close. They are amazing people and I can never thank them enough for all they do for my cats while I am gone. Anybody considering having Shannon's Purr-Fect Pet Sitting take care of your pets during an upcoming trip, stop considering. Reach out to them and have her stop by for an initial visit. You will immediately see for yourself just how caring and capable they are​."

“Shannon's Purr-fect Pet Sitting, came to our home and took care of our cat Shiloh. They fed, changed his litter, played, and petted him. 30 min visits everyday we were gone. Couldn't ask for better care!  I LOVE Shannon's Purr-fect Pet Sitting! From consultation to taking pictures and sending them to us of our cat Shiloh. They are amazing. They really do care for your pets. They are very professional, and their price is reasonable. Definitely, would use them again!"  ​
