Pet Sitting in Forest Lake

“Another worry-free trip with Kayla taking care of our cat. She always does a great job. Very reliable, goes above and beyond, great communication and fun pictures. It’s nice to travel and know he is in good hands. I highly recommend Kayla for your pet sitter.”

“Jen has been walking my dog twice a week since late February. Jen is dependable and treats my dog with care and compassion. Jen is also very flexible- she has jumped in for extra walks to support my changing schedule. She is quick to reply with updates. Thanks for all you do Jen!”

About: I have had the pleasure and joy of being able to take care of lots of different animals for over 10 years. I spent some time on a farm where taking care of sheep, pigs, chicken, ducks, and the barn cats and dogs was a daily thing. Later on, I was the proud mama of a german shepherd named Bruno who stole my heart in every way. Unfortunately he is now gone since November of 2023. Since then, my lifestyle has changed and I am not able to have another dog of my own due to long working hours four days out of the week. However I love taking care of pets, especially dogs, and this is the perfect way to still have a connection with these wonderful creatures, even if they are not my own :) I promise to take care of yours as if it was my own! They will be royally treated with me! My Fridays through Sundays are free from other work and I would love to be able to take care of your pets, especially your dogs! I have a spacious home where your pet can feel free to roam and rest. I also have many trails I can take them on walks. There is also a spacious park area where we can play around if that's what your dog prefers! If I am coming to your home, I am more than happy to walk them short or long distances, play with them, or tend to any other pet needs!

“Doug was great with Rose and sensitive to her needs especially during the rain storms over the weekend. Rose is scared of the rain and he took extra care with her. He communicated well with us on each visit. Highly recommend Doug.”

“Dayna is fantastic. My dogs really liked her. She was extremely flexible as my plans changed several times. She sent lots of pictures and let me know what was happening with my fur babies every step of the way. I will definitely trust my babies with her in the near future. Highly recommend her.”

“Christina was generous with her time and expertise. She took excellent care of our cat, and also spent a little time with our dog, during our meet and greet session. She is communicative, responsible, and kind. We will definitely request her services again, and would recommend her to others. Five stars 🌟”

“Katerina was the best cat sitter we've ever had! She followed instructions perfectly, was very prompt and communicative, and sent lots of pictures and videos of our grumpy old man. We will definitely book with Katerina again!”

About: I have cared for many dogs including my daughters working dogs when she’s out of town in the past few years. I am also quite experienced with elderly dogs that need extra special care and attention. Presently, I have a dog of my own that I always enjoy her company, but I have owned dogs in the last 16 years. I presently work full time on the weekday's , but I can be flexible with my schedule through out the week and available on the weekends. If I need to care for your pet at your home , I will follow your instructions thoroughly. I am very responsible and love pets.

“Mallory takes great care of Sasha and Sasha lives her walks and play with Mallory. We try to use her every time we aren’t able to take care of Sasha ourselves. She is great.”

About: I am a retired high school educator, artist, outdoor enthusiast, and animal lover. I am a five-star walker and a very reliable and compassionate caregiver for your pet. I often feel we are kindred spirits and I am totally intrigued by their individual personalities. I have cared for dogs both personally or professionally for most of my life and willingly care for your pet and their individual needs. Whether it be exploring adventure, padding the neighborhood (walking or running), gifting belly rubs, or providing hydration & nutrition, your pet’s needs will be personalized while in my care with much love and affection. In the future, I hope to rehabilitate dogs and work with their family members to provide a safe space filled with discipline, affection, and a true sense of belonging. You can depend on me and trust that your pet will feel cherished and loved while in my care. Since retiring from teaching, my hours of 1:1 attention have expanded. I am now available to give full weekday hours to your pet in addition to my time during weekends. While caring for pets in parks and neighborhoods, I keep them on a leash during all walks and runs. If we are lounging in the yard I provide the dog an opportunity to relax on a lead while I am outdoors with them. For owners who allow their dogs to visit Lakewood Dog Park’s expansive exercise area, I monitor those dogs while they run and play off leash under my constant supervision. While indoors, I follow the rules that my pet owners prefer whether it be cuddling on furniture and slumbering in bed with me or crating them within their cozy caves with their favorite snuggle toy. I do everything I can to mirror the eating, playing, and napping comfort with the same positive experiences your pet receives in your living home while throwing in a little extra spoiling 🐶❤️🐶

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (15 and 8) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!

“Darien was a wonderful companion for our doggy. She came in, as asked, and made sure that our dog was fed and had company each day. She clearly communicated when there was a need to change her schedule (which was very rare), and completed check-ins daily, complete with photos and updates. I would highly recommend her for future services!”

“Beth is very responsible. She Checked in on our two dogs for a few days. The dogs were happy when we returned. We will use her in the future!”

About: Hey! I'm Nate, I'm based in the Chicago area and enjoy getting to know different pets and their owners. I grew up raising a chocolate lab and spent the last 4 years in Austin, TX, periodically helping on my friend's ranch. I'm comfortable looking after various animals though I appreciate a heads-up about aggressive animals. I've found the housesitting experience to be really rewarding and hope to continue meeting amazing people through this journey. :) I currently work remotely, so I'm home most of the day. As long as the location has reliable Wi-Fi, I'm available to sit any day! I keep pets on their usual routine in terms of walks, food, grooming, etc. Some pets prefer more alone time, while others enjoy extra attention, so I try to match their needs, especially in the winter.

About: I was raised with dogs and cats growing up and believe that nothing can match the unconditional love of a pet in a home. I have almost 10 yrs experience boarding dogs and cats, the last 8 yrs with Rover. Now with a steady long term following and over 100-5 star reviews, I am committed as ever to help your pet feel at home in my home. At this time most of my work is inside the of the house. I love to go for walks around the neighborhood and could take your dog too. I believe a walked dog is a happy dog. I also get as much information about your pet so that I can try to be consistent with what they are used to at home. I accept dogs up to 23 lbs. About my yard My backyard has a chainlink fence and I am on a 1/2 acre lot. It is secure with lots of room to run and play. My patio door leads right to the backyard so that I can monitor your pet when outside. My experience administering medication I am comfortable with administering medication. I allow your pet full access to the whole house. This includes furniture if they are allowed. There is a security gate around the front door for extra protection. I like to walk your pets and play fetch too! I will treat your pet the way I would want someone to care for mine. Like one of the family. :) I am only working outside the house part-time in the afternoon a couple of days a week so I am home alot. I like to go for walks, weather permitting so I would bring your dog along if desired. I set aside play time and invite them to be in whatever room I am in. I have a sliding patio door in the kitchen on the main floor where I mostly hang out. I let pups out often in case they don't know how to tell me at first. I also set aside time for walks and playtime. I try to keep the same feeding schedule that your pet has at home when possible and that goes for treats as well. I always make sure there is plenty of water and comfortable places for them to lay around and even look out the window for their paw patrol duty. Oh and we all love cat naps!

About: I love dogs, I currently have 2 at home around the age of 5. I love taking them on walks and playing with them in the backyard. One of my dogs, Hope, loves to play with her ball but my other dog Rosie, loves to play tug with her toys and sleep under the blankets. I like to take care of animals with all different traits. I am responsible and reliable and I can help you out in a pinch or keep a regular schedule depending on your dog’s I currently go to Elmhurst University, I am a full time student. I am looking to walk dogs over the summer. I am available for one time walks or recurring. I also am available if you need someone to watch your pet while you go on vacation! I take care of dogs differently depending on their needs. I love to take dogs for long walks so they can get a ton of new smells. I also know some dogs need relaxation and pets, which I also love to provide.

“Rosa took a very good care of our cat. I highly recommend this lady!”
