About: We have over 25 years experience raising our Labs, Rottweiler's and now our 2 year Chi-wienner dog, Ollie. I'll come to your place and care for the kids or bring them to me and they can play with Ollie. Walks, playtime and feedings are all good. It's no problem if they need their meds or other care. Your pets will be safe, loved, happy and well cared for, giving you peace of mind while you are at work or traveling. We currently live in a 1st floor 2 bedroom condo in Crystal Lake, Illinois. There are other dogs here and your pet could make other friends. While we focus on smaller dogs, let me know if you have a Rottie; we can consider them on a case by case basis. We raised four and have a special place for them in our hearts. Pet care is my only job so I spend lots of time with the dogs. I feed at 8am and 5:30pm. Walks are four times a day and my husband has them outside when it's sunny. I treat client dogs as if they are mine. They will spend the day with Ollie and I. My husband and I love dogs and to us they're family, including yours. It's my only job. My husband assists me and is here five days a week and every evening. All dogs are given very personalized attention. Weather permitting, my husband and I will have them outside throughout the day. Otherwise, indoor lounging is the order of the day. We feed twice a day, plus treats for all good boys and girls.
“Jacqueline did great with my pup who’s sometimes shy around strangers. He needs a slow introduction and gets scared pretty easily. She was patience and kind with him. Looking forward to more visits. :)”
About: It all started when I was 5 and my sister and I convinced our animal loving parents to add to our family, we got a golden retriever puppy and a kitten in the same year. I have never lived a day without a pet in 35 years! I have open availability. I have 2 smaller dogs and a parrot. I live in a nice, quiet neighborhood perfect for walking furry friends. Ricky and Lucy (cavapoos) love a good slumber party :) I do not have a fenced in yard. My pups know the perimeters. I do take leashed potty breaks and walks with pup visitors. I am familiar with "runners" and an capable of making sure that doesn't happen!
“Laura, is very patient and kind with my two puppies. Very dependable, professional and always on time. She is also flexible with availability and always goes out of her way.”
About: I am a big dog lover. I couldn’t have dogs for most of my life due to my dad’s allergies. I coped with that by dogsitting until I moved out and was able to have a dog of my own. I recently rescued a senior dog with a lot of anxiety so I have experience working with nervous dogs. I would love to take care of your dog and treat them like my own. I am currently available any time during the week to let your dog out or take them for a walk. I am home during the day with my dog so I have lots of flexibility. A big part of dog care is adapting to the dog. I know each dog is different with their own set of needs. My goals is to adjust to each dog I work with to make them feel safe and loved.

“I can't recommend Holly enough! She is absolutely the best with my little dog, Max. From the very first moment, it was clear that she treats him like her own. Max immediately became a part of her family, and I could see how much care and attention she gave him. Whether it was going on walks, playing his favorite games, or just cuddling on the couch, Holly always made sure he was comfortable and happy. It's such a relief knowing that Max is in such loving hands when I’m away. Holly’s genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does, and I truly feel like he’s not just being cared for, but also loved and cherished. If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter, Holly is definitely the one you can count on!”
