House Sitting in Fox Lake Hills

About: As a middle schooler, I worked on a farm property as a pet groomer. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and a specialization with dogs that are disabled and have behavioral issues. I enjoy being active, going on walks, and making sure your fur baby gets the love they deserve! I am currently working part time at an eye-care office! 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. I am respectful of the spaces I am in, and I understand that life can get busy sometimes. I never judge a messy home, and promise that it won’t be an issue. I am just happy to help!

“Sarah is a top notch dog sitter. She will leave your house looking clean and send you daily updates and pics. She will allow you to enjoy your vacation while you are away from the dogs. She is a very kind person and I knew I could trust the house and dogs with her.”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 7 years old. I grew up on an acreage and we always had cats and dogs. I can administer shots and medication and have experience bottle feeding kittens and bunnies. I love animals and understand that each one is different and deserves love. I am patient and careful with each pet, giving them the attention they need and feel most comfortable with. I have a soft spot for senior animals. I am a teacher, so I am available all summer for your pet sitting needs! During the school year, I am only available on the weekends or after school check-ins. I will follow all directions and rules for taking care of your pet(s). Each one is special and I understand they all have their own needs. I am great at going with the flow with your pet and letting them lead the activity.

“Ashlee was awesome. She was excellent with keeping me up to date with how my skittish dog was doing. She sent pics, videos and updates multiple times per day. I would book again with her for sure!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was probably around ten years old. Making sure they are fed, played with, and petted are all ways to show them they are pampered and loved, and that’s something I strive to do! I work a part time job, but I can always do my best to make my schedule flexible. The only unchanging thing I have is going to the gym for about an hour, but I will always come right back! My service is completely up to you! If your furry friend needs to go in the kennel for a little bit, I can do that. If he or she needs to be walked for an hour every day, I can absolutely do that as well. Once again, my service ends wherever you need it to!

“Declan was amazing with our two dogs. He sent pictures during their walks and playtime and communication was awesome. We would have him again and highly recommend him to others.”

“Andrew (Rusty) exceeded all my expectations when it came to boarding my two dogs. First of all, this was the first time they were boarded. They are 7 yrs. Old so I was a little nervous and wondering how my dogs would react. Rusty was amazing with them and they came back relaxed and I knew they were well taken care of. Rusty has a great fenced in area and my dogs love being outside. I highly recommend Rusty and so does Stella and Beau!”

“Mark was MORE THAN WONDERFUL!!! I’m usually a worry wart when leaving my cats or dog, but Mark really put my mind at ease. I knew my sweet babies were in good hands. He followed on instructions to a tee, asked questions for clarification, and sent us many, many pictures of our pets. I missed my 3 cats so much, but Mark made leaving them a little easier by taking such thorough care of them. We will not hesitate to book with Mark again in the future.”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs almost my whole life! My personal pet care background is incredibly diverse. I currently manage a lively three-cat household with my sweet cuddle bug Lillie, and my sister’s rambunctious and silly littermate brothers, Scout and Sawyer. I am also the proud owner of a childhood calico named Luna, and a Shepherd/golden mix, Osa. Because Osa is a high-energy, reactive dog, I learned a lot from her and personally worked on training her. Additionally, I have experience with senior pets. I lovingly cared for my late childhood dog, Sisi, which included managing her daily medications. I have also administered short-term medications to cats. I specialize exclusively in house sitting at your home, drop-in visits, and neighborhood dog walks. I look forward to giving your pets the absolute best care! :) My schedule is very flexible this summer, which makes it easy to stick to whatever daily routine your pets are used to. Whether they need a mid-day drop-in visit, a walk, or someone to stay overnight to keep them company, I can easily accommodate their regular timing. Since I will be caring for your pets in your home, my main priority is keeping their environment safe and consistent. I am highly attentive to details like securing doors and gates, keeping dogs properly leashed during walks, and following your specific household instructions. I always send regular photo updates and check-ins so you have full peace of mind while you are away.

“Darla went above and beyond. She shampoed both pups,cleaned my house,and rearranged some furniture so it is more functional. Spent lots of time with the pups.”

“Kimberly was great and kept our pup company for the day. She was on time, professional and kept us updated throughout the day! We would highly recommend her!”

Ken D.

“Brianna was such a huge help! She stayed at our house for 10 days and took great care of our two dogs. She was very communicative and respectful, making sure we received plenty of updates. Our house was just as clean, if not cleaner, than when we left it. It was so nice feeling at ease while we were away from the dogs for so long. Highly recommend!”

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.

“Aimee did a great job taking good care of our puppy! She is very kind and passionate. She played very well with our puppy, brought him to potty, prepared food and water for him. Our puppy had a lot of fun.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for my whole life I have always had a dog and I love them as if they are my own children! Your dogs will be in great hands I am currently back home from San Diego and am planning on staying in Illinois for a while and I want to make a living helping animals. I don’t have a full time job at the moment so I have all the time in the world. I have a car that I can get anywhere with ease at anytime. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and different attitudes. I have owned dogs my whole life so I am very experienced.

“We’re so excited to have found Kat. She went above and beyond to make sure the fur babies were taken care of. We appreciate the consistent updates and never felt like we had to worry because she kept us in the loop! She’s 10/10 and will be rebooking again!”

“Zoe stayed at my house and cared for my two dogs and cat while I was away for a week. She was great with everyone, keeping me regularly updated to their progress and responsive when I had questions. I’d definitely hire Zoe again.”

Christine H.

“Ayla was so informative and helpful! I’m so glad I chose her to watch Paula. She followed all of my instructions and I felt safe leaving my dog in her care!! Highly recommend.”

Zara V.

“Haley and Alex came through for me in a very last-minute and stressful situation due to a family emergency. They stayed with my Boys and kept them happy and cared for in my home while I was out of town. They were great about keeping me updated, especially knowing how stressed I was since this was the first time anyone besides my immediate family took care of my pups. I would definitely book them again and will recommend them to all of my pet parent friends! 🐶🐾”

Jessica

“This was my first experience having a house sitter take care of my dogs while I was away. Deanne is such a nice person and was wonderful with my dogs! She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout the weekend. I look forward to working with her again.”
