Dog Sitting Fox River Grove

“Haley and Alex were fantastic! Super reliable and responsive, and they were also incredibly friendly. Our dog is a husky and pitbill mix who gets bad separation anxiety and is also high strung around new people. He warmed up to Haley and Alex right away, and they were well equipped to deal with a more high strung dog. Highly recommend them!”

About: Hi! My name is Baylee. I have over 6 years of experience working at a small animal clinic as a technician and receptionist. I graduated from UW Madison with a degree in Animal and Veterinary Biosciences. I also worked at UW’s Large Animal Hospital as a Veterinary Assistant. I am comfortable giving your pet medication or working with shy or reactive dogs. I have fostered puppies, kittens, and older dogs. I also started a dog walking business in my neighborhood when I was 10 years old! I love animals! I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, fish, chickens, hermit crabs and a hedgehog. I currently live in Algonquin I work 7 am- 1 pm at a vet clinic most days. Message me when you are looking for care and I’d love to work something out ! I will follow your instructions just as if you were caring for your pet yourself. I want you to feel comfortable while you’re at work or on vacation knowing your pets are well cared for!

About: I've been watching dogs for family and family friends for 15 years now, before I could drive myself. I've watched many dogs with special raw Diets, and dogs that have needed insulin shots. I have never encountered a scenario I couldn't handle. I'm working full-time, but have great hours, and would spend most of my time with the animals. I'm around and available all weekends. My wife and I spend most of our time home on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs of my own. All of which are really friendly. We often have family member's pets over to visit. I also stay at others homes, as that is normally where animals are most familiar and feel the most safe!

About: Owned a dog for 13 years and enjoyed every second of it to his final days. All ages deserve love and special care. Would love to provide this to all pets! Recently left a career to go back to school and finish my degree. I am very close and want to focus on this without the stress of a retail fast paced environment. I enjoy loving animals and find it to be stress relieving and rewarding! I have a 2 acre yard that I take my cats out to everyday and all dogs are welcome to! I also live down the street from a dog park with a nice walking trail.

About: I've had pets all my life (cats, dogs, fish, even a frog!) and did animal rescue for several years in Arizona- helping at adoption events, home visits, fostering kitties, a mama cat with 5 babies, & about a dozen dogs/puppies. I moved back to IL and am raising my 2 children and working from home. We have even rented baby chicks to help a local farm, so my kids understand pet care too. I truly understand how hard it is to find good, comforting help with pets and been there myself. I love all animals and currently have a senior female dog at home. I have proven to be a reliable helper to friends, family, neighbors, and even strangers. I've been able to save loose dogs and reunite them because of my calm demeanor with animals. I always love to give a hand to others and understand pets are family. I currently work remotely from home and have some flexibility during the day after 8AM while working and often done with work by 4PM, some days earlier. I have some kid activities on weekends, but generally home and my dog here is very laid back, sweet, and tolerates the young pups even and still loves to outrun them even lol. I have availability most on weekends for walks, but can try to arrange things time to time. I can squeeze in let outs when not in meetings with clients. I would let you know if time doesn't permit before accepting. My yard is fenced in completely and my senior dog is very nice and will help keep them feeling comfortable. I have extra crates if needed, depending upon the service needed. I am happy to drive a reasonable distance to help with yours. If overnight at your home, please note I'd need my kids to come with me when they are out of elementary school, but they are very respectful and well behaved animal lovers too. I understand pets are family and safety is important to me too.

About: Experienced caring for senior pets, diabetic cats, and pets who need medication or extra attention. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Nardie is a long hair part Maine Coone cat. He is about 15 years old and he is diabetic which means I give him insulin shots 2x a day. He is a sweet loving man who loves to cuddle and be by my side. Nardie likes fresh water everyday and a clean liter box. I make sure to keep a close eye on his pee pad in his box to ensure any changes in his urine output as well as his water intake I am currently caring for pets *clients home only* please tell me everything there is to know about your little one and I promise to pay close attention to their needs and ensure they are cared for with so much love! I am open most weekends and my weekday is flexible so please contact me and we can work out a schedule!

About: The phrase man’s (or woman’s) best friend is extremely fitting for me! I connect so well with animals, and have always been a reliable source for family, friends, neighbors, and more! I have dog walked, pet sit for cats and dogs, and taken care of pets (including my own dog) since I was 10 years old. Animals are a huge part of my life and I want to surround myself with them more! I currently am a sports photographer so I only go in at most once per week to capture photos and videos, and then I edit at home. Sometimes it gets lonely, so I would absolutely love to take care of a pet whenever I can! I have a perfect dog park in my neighborhood, a nice walking path where sometimes there are other furry friends out for walks so we can meet them if they are interested, and a cozy home that welcomes any pet!

“Elizabeth was great she kept us up to date with everything. I would highly recommend her and definitely use her again.”

About: I've had a lifelong love for dogs and over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for my own three dogs. A Rescue, Stray and Husky. I enjoy running with dogs, so please let me know if you have a runner! Im currently working full time and I am missing the relationship with my pets. I am available every evening and all weekend to take care of your pets! I am extremely aware and attentive to pets as I know from experience the mischievous acts they can commit. Of course this will vary depending on your pets personality!

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for the last 1( years, all over 40lbs. I’m also familiar with dealing with reactive dogs, I was social distancing well before that was a thing 😃. I’ve taken care of my parent’s cat for the last 2 years and I’m comfortable with changing cat litter. I look forward to meeting you and your pups/kittens. I’m currently in school on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, after 5pm. The rest of my schedule is open to provide the service your pet needs. I will always keep safety first, follow all instructions prescribed by the customer, be on-time and provide the service your fur baby needs. In addition, I’m open to any communication that the pet owner requires, phone call, FaceTime or just text message to keep them updated on their pets well-being.

About: I’ve owned and lived with dogs for over 30 years. I’ve worked in the pet care business for over 10 years as a dog trainer, handler and educator; CPDT-KA certified (with the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers). I’ve worked and managed doggie daycares, grooming… I’ve taught group and individual classes in Los Angeles, and right here at the Petco in Algonquin! I take care of all pets like they are my own: with care, respect and love. 🐾 I truly enjoy being able to offer your dog some company, exercise, all the sniff walks and perhaps a little training to top it off! 🐕 I currently have a 65lb shepherd husky mix named Luna and a cat named Zoe (they get along!). I’ve always had large dogs and have extensive professional experience working with and caring for small and medium dogs, puppies, seniors, you name it. 🐶

“Liz was fantastic with my cat! My cat warmed up to her immediately and Liz was very affectionate to her. She brushed her and pet her a lot, which my cat loves! She played with her and made my cat very happy. Liz is very caring and took perfect care of my cat. I would definitely rebook with her!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds — playful pups, mellow seniors, and everything in between. My experience started with helping my sister care for her dogs, and over the years, I’ve walked, fed, and looked after dogs for friends, neighbors, and family. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. I have a quiet home and a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely explore, relax, and enjoy the fresh air. With me, your dog will be loved, understood, and truly cared for — just like they deserve. I mostly work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup throughout the day. I’m available for daytime check-ins, boarding, and doggy stays at my place. I can also pick up and drop off your dog if needed — making things easier for you. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a cozy place to stay while you’re away, I’m here and happy to help. I offer a calm and loving environment with a fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and relax. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they need space or lots of cuddles. I can easily crate your dog if that’s part of their routine. My goal is always to make your dog feel secure, understood, and cared for — just like they would at home.

About: Providing exceptional care for your beloved companions is my top priority. With many years of experience, I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment. I hold a college degree. My approach centers on consistent routines, strict adherence to dietary needs, and active play for high-energy breeds. I remain vigilant for any signs of distress and prioritize safety by keeping emergency contacts readily available. I handle unexpected situations with calm professionalism and clear communication. Whether I am walking your dog or visiting your cat, I find true joy in witnessing their unique personalities. I am responsible, kind, and empathetic in every interaction. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and providing you with complete peace of mind. I make time for all fur babies and their family. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to plan visits around your pet’s needs. I prioritize dependable care, playtime, walks, feeding, and cuddles. I can care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable, or welcome them into my home when appropriate. I follow their routines, provide love, playtime, feeding, walks, and plenty of attention!

“Bill is Fantastic. He is great with the dogs and they always come back well excericed from their walk! Also appreciate how well Bill communicates and confirms his arrival and availability”

About: I have had pets (dogs, cats, horses, fish) since I was a baby. Caring for them feels like a natural task! I have pet sat for many neighbors and friends, and I would love to share some love with your pets as well :) I work as a nurse 3 days a week, so I have 4 days off that I would love to spend with your pets! My schedule changes weekly but I am very flexible with my off days. I love pet parents who know what their pets need. Leave me with simple instructions and I will follow your lead! I love to clean as well, so you won’t have to worry about returning home to a mess.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life! I put my dog down a few years ago and now I’m feeling the itch to want to adopt another one. In the meantime I figured this is a great opportunity to still be around animals and be able to care for them as if they were my own before I look into adopting a new fur baby! I’m currently home a lot and work a few nights a week at a comedy club so I have plenty of time to play and spend quality time with your pet. I don’t have a fenced yard but I have a huge back yard so there’s plenty of space for them to run around on a leash! I also love going on walks so they’ll get plenty of exercise.

About: I grew up in a home always having at least 2 pups running around & have always enjoyed being around animals. While I have always helped out with our own animals ever since I was little, I have been house sitting/pet sitting for others since I was 10! I also have experience with a wide age range, from puppies to senior pups. I have a few families I regularly dog-sit consistently that I’ve met through rover, and would love to add some new faces to my “dog family” & love on your pup while you’re away! :) I work full time Monday-Thursday, these days I am free after 6/7pm. I have full availability on Fridays and weekends for all the cuddles, walks & fetch games we can fit in! I have a cat - Luna - who is the sweetest ball of fluff you will ever meet, however, she is very anxious and shy. While she does very well with other cats, she doesn’t do well with dogs. Watching your pup in their own environment would be ideal, not only for them, but for her.

“Highly recommend Julia!”
