“Michael is AMZAZING!! He treated our pups as his own and sent me continuous updates without me having to ask. I did not worry one bit with my babies being in his care. Will use him every time we need to!”

“Marisol watched my sweet girl who I was recovering from my very serious deep eye ulcer. This required her to put in antibiotic eye drops in both of my dog’s eyes three times a day. I was nervous about hiring a sitter because I wasn’t sure how they would be able to handle this, however, Marisol made sure to ask a lot of questions and was able to give my dog all of her drops! I’ve always had family members take care of my dog whenever I go on vacation, but I moved out of state and so I had to rely on a sitter. Marisol was very responsive, she was on top of all of my dogs antibiotic eye drops, and helped put my mind at ease while I took a long weekend trip away.”

“Kendra was amazing watching my boys Oliver and Sebastian. Oliver is special needs and has epilepsy so he needs meds 3x a day. Kendra had no issue administering his meds and making sure my baby was okay and taken care of. she even let me know each time she gave his meds so my mind was at ease. She made me very comfortable as I haven’t left my boys with anyone before. I am so glad I found her and will continue to use her services because I know Ollie and Bash will be well taken care of.”

“Kyle was a fantastic dog-sitter! He was on-time, attentive, and quick to respond when booking a meet'n'greet, and the official date of his stay. He took great care of our dogs, and was very good about sending pictures and updates during his stay. We will definitely plan to book him again in the future!!!”

“We needed dogsitter who would be comfortable staying in our home with our pups. We got that and more with Lyn. She did an excellent job caring for our pups. They found a new snuggle companion. Which was quite amazing because our 10-month-old Staffordshire terrier mix doesn’t warm up to anyone quickly. Additionally she cared for our plants inside and out. She respected our home and took excellent care of it. We look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“Ava did an amazing job taking care of our new puppy. We were nervous at first but she helped a lot by sending pics and communicating with me throughout the day. I'm so happy we decided to book with Ava. We will definitely use her services again!”

“Barbara always takes such good care of our dogs! She stayed at our house this time and did a wonderful job. We love receiving the regular updates she sends. We know Dixie and Cupid are in great hands with Barbara!”

“Carla stayed at our house and cared for our dogs like noone else has. She is amazing with dogs! She had excellent communication with us during our vacation and sent pictures every day. Sam and Lacy thrived under Carla's care and relieved us of any worry about their well being. Carla is a true "dog whisperer"; so glad we found her. Don't hesitate to hire Carla, A+ in my book!”

“It was my first time using Rover and Rachel made sure it was a good experience. She clarified any needs for the dogs, asked what was acceptable to not cross any boundaries already set, and made sure they had an enjoyable day. Couldn’t be happier to have them watched by her. Would recommend her if you need a sitter.”


About: **NOTICE** Austin pet parents!!! I will be “out of service” for the following dates (June 14th-August 17th) I will be OUT of town :(. (Temporarily located in Dallas, TX) For repeat clients or anyone interested in details, please contact me!!! Hi Pet Parents! If you are looking for reliable and loving care for your companion(s), I’m your girl! I have cared for animals since childhood, sitting, playing, walking, and training for family and friends and growing up with my own dogs, cats, and reptiles. I’ve studied textbooks and kept logs of training with my dogs since middle school. I helped raise 2 litters of puppies and have rescued cats and dogs throughout the years. I’m currently a college student looking to make extra money, and not being allowed my own dogs to live with me at College has sucked. Though, being able to have the opportunity to care for others pets has been so rewarding! I’m here to care for your companions as if they were my own! I work part time late afternoons/evenings and have classes from noon to early afternoons. I am open to caring for your pets in the early mornings and late evenings. I’m always open to negotiating a schedule that works for you as well! Unfortunately, I’m not allowed pets in my apartment. Although I am available to care for your pets while you’re on vacation at your home, daily check-ins and walks around the neighbourhoods ! Back home I take my dogs to the park or the arts district to meet other dogs for socialization and exercise! I’m open to most activities with your pets!!
About: hello! I have 8 years of experience with dog sitting and taking care of pets. I own two dogs of my own, and I regularly dog sit for friends, family, and neighbors. I love dogs and cats and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I am recently unemployed and decided to commit full time to pet care. For the most part, I can be available whenever you need me, even if it happens to be last minute. I have my reliable transportation, so getting to and from your location will never be a problem. I am fully comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I am very gentle with all pets and animals. thank you! I am currently unemployed, apart from taking a few online summer classes, so I am usually always available during the week and on most weekends. I have a spacious yard for dogs to play in, and I go on long walks often, which any dog would love. I have never encountered an unfriendly dog in my neighborhood.

About: I have always loved taking care of animals since I was little I love to build that bond with them and letting them know I am here to comfort them and be their freind I love learning new things about each and every pet down from being silly ,tricks, or even boundaries that will help me make that better bond with them I would love to be able to be apart of your fur baby’s care :)) I can tend to pets early during the day mid day and even night time to walk them feed them and get them some play time :) I can pet sit at the pets home and be able to tend to them when needed to be walked fed or even play time !
“Regina kept my aging medically challenged blue heeler while I was in Australia. Even with the 15 hour time change, we communicated effectively through messenger. She gave him his meds twice a day (NOT) fun but was resourceful and patient. She stayed with him all day and he misses her. Highly Reccomend”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for more than 15 years. I have had 4 dogs in my life. I truly have always had a love for animals since I was young. It’s always been my responsibility to walk them, clean up after them & bathe them. I’ve always taken great pride in my care for my fur babies. They are part of my family & I would love to care for as many as I am able to. I’ve been taking care of dogs & cats for 15+ years, it’s been in my daily routine for so long I hope to keep up with that for a long time. I am not working right now just in school so I have plenty of free time to be with your precious babies. All my pets are indoor pets. I occasionally let them go outside in the yard but always supervised. My cats are also indoor as I cannot trust them to stay safe outdoors. When I walk my dogs they are stay on a leash.
About: 5 years of experience with dog walking and dog sitting with large and small dogs, hyper dogs, aggressive breeds, & senior dogs.

About: Though I do not own my own pets I have always been around dogs and have been a source for family members when they need their dog taken cared of. I’m currently a part-time worker at Anthropologie and I am taking summer classes, but I have a very flexible and adaptable schedule to meet any needs! I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. I provide fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages. In a client's home, I make sure their pet receives consistent care while keeping the home clean and secure. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel happy and cared for.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Crystal Lake is $50

Marisol is absolutely amazing! She consistently goes above and beyond when caring for our husky, Mishka, treating her like she’s part of the family. We always have complete peace of mind knowing Mishka is in such loving, dependable, and attentive hands. We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter and highly recommend Marisol to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!

Maddy was one of the best animal sitters we have ever had!!! She is so kind, and her attention to detail is amazing!! Her communication is spot on. She provided us with pictures every day of our crew and they always looked so relaxed and peaceful in every picture. She left our home cleaner than when we left it. I would love to adopt her as a member of our family! I can't sat enough wonderful things about her.

We had a wonderful experience with Ava as our dog sitter. She was extremely responsive, kept us updated with pictures and videos, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She clearly cared for our dogs and treated our home with respect. She was absolutely lovely to work with from start to finish. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.
