cat sitter in prospect heights

Hello! I'm looking for a semi-regular cat sitter (and in particular need someone for a week in August). I'd love to find someone trustworthy in the neighborhood who I could just leave keys with, since I often travel a couple of weekends a month. More than willing to let someone sleep in my apartment, use my TV and PS3, etc.--or just have someone stop by to do bare minimum food, water and litter maintenance.

I'm tempted to ask the teenage daughter of the woman in the next door apartment, but I just don't know them very well, and I'm wary to trust anyone after my apartment was broken into last year, probably by someone in the building.

Any advice? Recommendations?
