Pet Sitting Fox Lake

“We booked Gwen very last minute. She was more than willing to do meet and greet before our booked times. Care for our dog (who had ACL surgery that week) and communication with us throughout was phenomenal! We highly recommend Gwen and hope to book with her again. Thank you, we’re beyond grateful!”

About: I have worked professionally in the dog care industry for 3 years as a Doggy Daycare Attendant and Professional Dog Bather. During that time, I have cultivated skills that include puppy and senior canine care, administering topical and oral medications, and assisting physically disabled pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am happy to tailor my care to the specific requirements a pet parent has described. I am available 9 am-6 pm, Tuesday through Saturday, every week for drop-in visits, walks, and playtimes. My schedule will be updated if and when my responsibilities change. I am happy to follow specific instructions in your home and on your property when taking care of your pet. Please let me know if you'd like shoes removed at the door, rooms to remain unaccessed, where you would like pets kept once I leave the premises, and any other important details about your home and pet.

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’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have done sitting on the side for family and friends. I have raised my dogs from puppies to now they are 15 and 10 I also got a kitten about a year ago and she’s been enjoying the ride ever since! I am currently in college. I am planning on getting another part time job so I will be sure to communicate with my clients the schedule for that. I take care of my own pets everyday and would love to add yours too. I have grown up with animals my whole life so their routine is my routine. I believe that we owe it to our pets to make sure their needs are met and that they are happy.

“Hannah cared our kitty Edison for 21 days while we were on vacation. Hannah is such a natural with cats and Edison got comfortable with her from day one. The regular photos and videos with Edison she shared with us made our vacation more fun and less worried. We will definitely ask for her help again next time.”

“Lilli and Zachary were wonderfully responsible care takers for our dog and home. Lilli is a prompt, kind, and excellent communicator. Our meet and greet went well, and I could immediately sense we could trust this nice young couple. They provided wonderful care for our 10 year old dog who had never been left alone before (we always had other dogs and in-home overnight care). Initially our dog was a bit shy, according to Lilli, but she ultimately warmed to them and they became fast friends. Lilli’s reports were detailed complete with pictures. I would highly recommend Lilli and Zachary!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have cared for them through every stage, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I currently care for two dogs of my own, so I'm very familiar with daily routines including feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I enjoy getting to know each one. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I'm available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and many weekends. I'll do my best to accommodate your pet's routine and can provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication (if needed), and exercise instructions, and I make sure they have plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I also keep the home clean and respect it as if it were my own. I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment.

“Rachel did a great job!”

“Hope was awesome! She made my sweet but sometimes shy cat feel comfortable & safe, and even fed my feral colony for me. She asked clarifying questions when needed, and did exactly what I requested. I would definitely book with Hope again.”

About: As a retired U.S. Navy Senior Chief, I bring reliability, patience, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. I know every dog has a different personality, and I take the time to earn their trust while keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I'm an experienced dog owner and understand everything from energetic puppies that need structure and exercise to older dogs that benefit from a slower pace and extra patience. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with company, I'll tailor my care to their needs and stick closely to your routine. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: to care for your dog the same way I'd want someone to care for my own. I'm retired from the U.S. Navy, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I build my day around their needs, whether that's morning walks, midday potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or evening visits. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so regular walks are something I genuinely look forward to. I also understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care and make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved every visit. I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs, while making sure your pet receives plenty of attention and affection. During walks and visits, safety is always my top priority. I use secure leashing practices, pay close attention to each dog's comfort and behavior, and never rush their time outside. I clean up after pets, keep fresh water available, and make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I've been a sitter for over twelve years; entrusted with peoples pets and homes and esuring responsible and compassionate care with many refernces availible. I travel full time so I have no pets of my own and thats why I enjoy caring for other peoples. With a flexible work schedule, I can accomodate your pets specific needs. I am happy to do check ins, walks and exercise, or house stays- whatever makes your pet most comfortable. I have experience administering medication and pride myself on my communication and professionalism. If you think I may be a good fit I'd love to connect and learn more about your pets needs.

About: I love all animals, if you need someone to help I’d be gladly to help out. I have Been pet sitting and walked dogs for almost 9 years now. I have 5 animals of my own, 3 dogs, 2 cats. I am also a kennel attendant to all animals. I do some basic training for dogs, I can do it on walks so they learn basic skills even when there are people out or when dogs are out. I could help with that if needed. If the dog has a higher level of energy we will go for longer walks or runs. We will play with toys for a long period of time to tire him/her out. I work well with any kind of breed. Small, medium or large dogs. If you need the help I’ll be there to assist I’m currently working full time at a daycare but I normally have an hour to hour an half before having to go back to work to let out the dog(s). I will let the family know what time I have let them out and fed them. And normally completely free after work and will stay late to make sure the fur baby has had lots of love and cuddles If needed I will crate the dog, I will send photos of their fur baby to ensure their trust not only with me but to see that their animal is taken care of.

About: I have 16 years of experience caring for others' animals. I worked for multiple horse farms until graduating college and all types of animals. Horses, donkeys, cows, big dogs, little dogs, pigs, bunnies, birds, I've taken care of them all! The bigger the animal the more comfortable I am with them. I work full time but I have a hybrid schedule that I make. I travel all over Cook/Kenosha/McHenry/Lake/Dupage Counties so if you're in that area I can tailor my schedule to spend more time in that area the week you need to accommodate your pets needs with daily walks or overnights. I treat all pets like they are my own. I take the time to get to know what they like so they warm up to me. Their favorite napping spots or where they like to be scratched. I want them to feel as comfortable as they can be while their owner is not around. I try to be the fun aunt that comes to visit so they don't notice mom and dad are gone.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10-11 with having my two fur babies myself. I absolutely love to take care of dogs, I’d say I’d have the magic touch! I will always ensure your dog is well taken care of as well as staying alert for stress or odd behavior. I can follow any instructions to a T! Your pups care is my top priority!
