Rebecca was a vacation saver! I needed a sitter for my dogs because of a last minute cancellation. Rebecca accepted. My pitties love her and she did very well with them. I am so grateful for Rebecca.

Heather is great to work with! She is very caring and even came over in for an emergency visit while we were away traveling. She is very understanding of cats personalities and works with them. We will definitely have her pet sit for us again!

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and it’s truly my passion, everyone I know trusts me with their furrbabies! I’ve had dogs (great dane and boston terriers), cats, fish, tortoise, and a bearded dragon. I treat every pet like my own, i’m attentive and patient, and my main priority is making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable! I am a high schooler in online school, a month away from graduating. I also don’t currently have a job, so I am available daily! I prefer to work in the morning. I have plenty of experience with taking care of animals. During drop-in visits I will take care to follow all of your requests while making sure your pet feels safe and happy!

I appreciated Sydneys prompt response to my initial inquiry and questions/messages. She was flexible on short notice to come to meet us and do a drop in the next day. Followed all instructions (in my way too long note), checked in, sent pictures and all was well with my pup on return. Sydney is nice, mature and trustworthy. She is just starting out on Rover so for just figuring all that out — she was great. Sometimes I look for a lot of reviews but glad I gave Sydney a try for sure. Don’t hesitate — I recommend Sydney and I’ll book with her again!

Sarah was amazing! I had a very last minute need for my dog and cat and Sarah responded very quickly and we hashed out the details immediately! I had a few time slots I needed her for at first and then things came up where I needed to cancel a couple of them and she was so quick and helpful to communicate back with me. She was great! Thank you again Sarah!

aww! Thank you for stopping by at the last minute. It was a huge relief to know my babies were all taken care of! Austin is the cat’s name. He’s a goof ball and loves it while we get him a Lion Hair cut ? Hope we can have you by another time.

About: Some dogs need more than a sitter—they need someone who understands their fire. I specialize in caring for the bold, the stubborn, and the wonderfully rebellious (likely referred to as reactive) pups that others often turn away. With a training style rooted in positive reinforcement (yes, plenty of treats), I help even the toughest personalities feel safe, understood, and engaged. I avoid labeling dogs as “reactive,” even though it’s become the norm—I prefer positive terms like high‑drive that honor their energy and potential. From high‑drive Malinois and German Shepherds to clever Australian Shepherds, spirited Corgis, and the gentle giants like Mastiffs and Cane Corsos, these dogs aren’t just clients—they’re my best friends. Here, every dog gets the patience they deserve, the structure they crave, and a companion who truly gets them. Pet care is woven into my everyday life. I work part‑time in a dog kennel, so caring for dogs isn’t just a job—it’s truly my passion. I dedicate three full days each week to dog sitting, and I’m also available most weekday evenings. Spending my time with dogs, especially the rebellious and high‑drive ones, is simply part of who I am. When I care for pets, the dog’s needs always come first. I follow their routine, provide structure, and make sure they feel safe, understood, and engaged. I also take plenty of photos and videos of our playtime and daily activities, sharing them with the dog parents so they can relax and enjoy their time away knowing their pup is happy and well cared for.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life and they have a special place in my ♥️. I have watched and cared for many dogs and I will always treat every dog like my own. I am a teacher so I am available in the afternoons during weekdays and weekends are mostly open at anytime. I also am off in the summers so I am available more. I will be sure to take proper care of your dog whether it is feeding them, giving them medicine, or taking them on a walk. I will treat your dog as my own.

About: Hi, I'm Macy! My family and I just recently moved to the Fox Lake area, and it sure is beautiful. I am a dog lover and dog mom of a handsome young beagle named Tom and a high energy Cattle Dog mix named Titan. I'm excited to be a part of a fun adventure in your pups life! I am always thinking about my pup when I'm away, as I'm sure you are when you're at work as well. I'd love to put your mind at ease that they are being cared for when you are away. We love to go on small walks around the neighborhood, but even more we love to explore new trails where there are lots of new smells!

About: I have experience caring for dogs through helping friends and neighbors with dog sitting and dog walking whenever they need me. I also have a 9 year old dog of my own, so I understand the daily responsibilities of caring for a pet. I love being around dogs and giving them lots of attention! I am currently home for the summer from college and will be working part time as a waitress, so I will have plenty of time for dog walking! I will take every safety measure there is when it comes to doggies such as making sure the doors are closed, the fence is closed, keeping them on the leash, and helping them feel comfortable.

With my husband and I working odd hours and not wanting to crate our two pups all day or leave them outside, we took a chance and signed up for Rover where we found Kathryn. I remember being so nervous about all the changes and trusting someone with my babies! But in meeting her and seeing her interact with them, I quickly found peace of mind. She’s now been doing drop ins on and off for the last 18 months for us. She’s great at communicating with me about any concerns or questions and does so promptly. She’s very reliable. I love the AMAZING pictures she sends me of them during her visits. I can tell by looking at them that they adore her! I don’t know what I’d have done without her. We’re so lucky to have Kathryn and would recommend her to anyone!

I have a lot of free time, and would love to spend it with your fur baby! I am flexible and happy to accommodate to whatever you and your pet’s needs may be.
