About Nicky Coffman:

 🏡 Trusted House Sitter & Pet Lover | Renovation Pro | USMC Veteran | Non-Smoker | Based Near Chicago

Hey there, I’m Nick — a reliable, compassionate house sitter and proud U.S. Marine Corps veteran living in Park Ridge, Illinois, just outside of Chicago. I’m a husband, father of four, and someone who truly understands the importance of feeling confident and at peace while you’re away from your home.

With decades of experience in house sitting, pet care, and home renovation, I bring a unique blend of responsibility, skill, and heart to every sit.

🛠 More Than Just a House Sitter — A Home Steward

My hands-on experience in home renovation and property maintenance means I do more than just "watch the house." I’ve handled everything from full interior remodels to smart home setups and emergency repairs. I’m proactive, tidy, and skilled in taking care of the little things before they become big ones. Whether your place is a luxury condo or a country home, I treat it with respect and care like it’s my own.

If you’re looking for a luxury house sitter with renovation experience, or a home caretaker near Chicago, you’re in the right place.

🐾 A Life Full of Pets, Love, and Service

Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve personally raised three litters of kittens, numerous African Greys(parrots), cared for rabbits, snakes, lizards, bats, hamsters, guinea pigs, horses, tortoises, dogs, and spent time volunteering at local animal shelters — caring for everything from rescue cats and dogs to shy animals that just needed a little extra love.

I’ve also provided consistent, compassionate care for senior pets, pets on medications, and animals with special needs. My last cat was my best friend and a diabetic who took constant monitoring.. Whether it’s daily walks, mealtime routines, cleanups, or just quiet companionship, I show up fully present every time.

If you're looking for a cat sitter who truly understands felines, a dog sitter who gets energy and discipline, or a pet sitter who treats animals like family, I’d love to help.
