PET CARE:
I am looking for an apartment and pet sitter for my female Maine Coon. Tequila tends to be shy when meeting new people but once she understands you are there to look after her, she warms up a bit. She likes to just chill. If you sit on the couch and watch movies, she may join you. If you're up and about all the time, she will stay out of your way.

Tequila's general care is very easy; a lot of her stuff is automated (Litter Robot and Water Fountain), and she will let you know if she wants to play, so aside from feeding and grooming, most of your time can be spent relaxing or exploring nearby Chicago.

DATES:
My official dates are Tuesday 15 April (My flight is at 7am, so I may get a hotel near the airport Monday night) through to Monday April 21 (flight lands at 5am and I will be going to work that morning for a half day, but may stop at home to drop my luggage off.)

APARTMENT SPACE
My apartment is a 2 bedroom, I have a Queen bed in the main, a folding full bed in the spare (shared with cat box and study) and a Queen sofa bed in the living room if you need additional space.

I have a standing desk space if you are a remote worker with two HDMI ready screens.


AREA:
Oak Park is the first suburb just west of Chicago and is the best of both worlds. The apartment is a 5 min walk to the BLUE line that runs direct from O'Hare international, as well as easy access to the Eisenhower (290) and will easily connect you to the city and all its entertainment and amenities. If you have a car, short term street parking is available, but nightly permits would need to be requested through an app (max 10 nights per license plate per month).

Reviews (2)
I had a great time staying at Johanna's place and taking care of her sweet cat, Tequila. Tequila's extremely friendly and was easy to take care of. And Johanna was a terrific host in that she provided clear instructions for everything and was always quick to respond anytime I had a question for her. Johanna's place is located in a gorgeous neighborhood in the Chicago suburbs and is within close walking distance to a nearby supermarket and public transportation. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend ... MORE

It was a pleasure getting to know Johanna and Tequila. Johanna was a great host leaving complete instructions on the house and care of Tequila and stayed in touch during her trip. Tequila is a very sweet kitty who is easy to care for. She liked to sleep on top of my suitcase which was very cute! She also likes her treats and catnip and sleeps quietly. I never heard her roaming in the night.
