Dog Sitting Fox River Grove

About: Growing up my family raised German Shepard in France. I was surrounded by puppies and adults until my 20s. I trained and took care of them. I also took closer of a cat fir 5+years. Since I moved to Crystal Lake my wife and I have been fostering 30+ dogs through a rescue association. We also have two personal dogs that we are professionally training at NOCI, Bernât a 4 year old mastiff and Eole a 2 year old mini aussi. I have extended experience with all dogs of all size and ages 🙂 I am un a transitional period between two jobs where i have the possibility to work remotely. I am at home and available all the time! At home I have a fenced yard and 2 other dogs plus a foster. I have all necessary toys and can go on many walks. My preference would be to take care of dogs at client’s home.

“Kelsey watched our cat for a week while we were out of town. She was always on time, took great photos and took excellent care of “our boy.” An issue came up with our garage door opening on its own, and Kelsey quickly got in touch with us and manually closed the door. And she made sure our house was secure. She made us feel completely secure knowing our house and our cat were being taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey’s services again.”

About: I truly believe every dog deserves to feel loved, comfortable, and understood. I have experience caring for dogs through all stages of life, including seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m dependable, attentive to their individual personalities and routines, and I’ll treat your pup like they’re my own. 🐾❤️ Dog care fits naturally into my routine! I love getting outside for walks and spending time at the nearby dog park, which is just 5 minutes from me. I’m especially available for evening walks and weekend visits, and I enjoy giving each pup plenty of exercise, attention, and love. 🐾 I keep things comfortable, safe, and consistent with their normal routine. I follow feeding and walking schedules, give plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel comfortable in their own environment. Fenced in back yard. I’ll always treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.🐾❤️

“Jessica is an amazing lady! She is dependable and her communication is great. My boys love her. I have such a comfort knowing that she is the one taking care of them while we are away. We will be using her services in the future.”

About: My motto is: "I wouldn't trust my pet with just anyone, why should YOU?! I TREAT EVERY PET AS IF IT WERE MY OWN!" I'm a pet care specialist with 40+ years experience. One of my first jobs was as a Veterinary Assistant. Since that time I've worked at various animal hospitals, kennels, grooming salons & dog walking/pet sitting companies. Over the past the 40 years, I've worked in nearly every aspect of the pet care field. In 1994 I started my own pet care service in Chicago, offering petsitting/feedings/dog walking for clients who were stuck at work or going on vacation. After relocating in 2008, I began offering my services in the northwestern suburban area & added in-home basic grooming such as nail trims, ear cleaning, etc. Available by appt. Days, evenings, overnights, weekends, holidays, etc. I currently work part-time at a grooming salon & have open availability (but please still try to book in advance!) Various online payments accepted including Zelle & Cash App as well as cash & personal checks. Feel free to be as specific & detailed as you'd like when it comes to how you prefer your pet is cared for! I welcome any notes regarding feedings/diet, treats, etc. My goal is always to provide top quality pet care that DOESN'T break the bank & become great friends with your fur baby!

About: I am DEFINITELY an animal person! I live a very active lifestyle so I am more than happy to go out and play with your pets, but also just as satisfied relaxing and cuddling! I have had dogs my entire life and think they truly are a mans' best friend. Growing up, I have taken care of the two dogs I have had (maltese and pitbull) a lot, as my parents have gone out of town for work. I have dog- and cat-sat on and off over the past 6 years so am very comfortable. I currently work remotely, so I have loads of flexibility to care for your pet! I enjoy being active so am more than happy to take the time to care for your pet! I take great pride in caring for your pet in your home! I am very respectful to the household, owners, and animals and am very tidy and follow the directions from the owners.

About: Hi there! I am so excited to finally be making my pet-sitting official with Rover. I am still new-ish to the area after having moved back in with my parents a little less than a year ago (originally from New Jersey, then moved to California for college and work). I have had the pleasure of taking care of my family dog (Winnie the Cavapoo) since we got her 9 years ago. Hanging out with her is one of my favorite things to do, and she truly makes each day better with every walk we go on and every cuddle we share. I've also gotten to dog-sit for some of my best friends and locals while I was in college, and it really helped me whenever I was missing my Winnie girl! My only hope is to provide you with peace of mind that your pup is in good hands with me! My schedule is pretty wide open and flexible! If there is a time/day on my schedule that looks unavailable, message me and I'll see if I can move things around to make it work (as I share a car with a family member). If you need me to come over and pet-sit at your home, I will respect all the rules you provide me with so you are comfortable with having me in your home while I watch your fur baby. Please let me know in advance to your booking if your pet is allowed on furniture, or in certain areas of your home, and what/where are absolute no-go's, so I can remember to keep them away from those areas. If you use a crate with them, please let me know how you use it with them - if they must be crated the entirety of time while indoors aside from meal and potty times, or if for certain periods of time. If you have a backyard that is fenced and secure, I am comfortable with letting them of their leash (if you permit it) so they have free reign to run around, but if it is not an enclosed space, I am not comfortable letting them off their leash, even if they are trained perfectly - just want to be safe and take all the precautions I can to make sure they are safe while with me!

About: I know life gets busy and you may need someone to stop in I would love to meet you and your fur babies. I’ve been pet sitting for puppies, older dogs, hedgehogs, rabbits, birds, cats, reptiles and Guinea pigs. I’m currently working part time but open my availability to all over night pet sitting or animal care that is needed so it’s nice to make my own schedule. I can do drop ins or over nights for anxious animals who like to be in their own home. I will listen to what your needs are and do the best I can to make the animal comfortable. Love Long walks outside in anyt weather needed. I have plenty of vouches and referrals off of rover if you’d want to hear some of them :)

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: 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!

About: I grew up with cats and dogs in the household. While my mom was away at work, my sister and I would be in charge of taking care of the animals. When I was younger, my neighbors and boyfriend’s family would intrust in me to take care of their dogs and take them for walks. I have a full-time job Monday-Thursday. I am flexible enough to alternate Fridays and Saturdays every week. Although they are already set in the schedule. Depending on the day I am not working, I am free all day (Friday-Sunday). I can give more details on my work schedule as needed. Depending on the client's house and their rules, I respect the clients guidelines and the requirements they expect. From previous walks/ in home stay/ feedings, I always communicated and client put their trust in me. If there was any concern or question, I respond very quick to ensure they can rely on an answer.

“Bill was great with our two dogs. Thor loved his walk in the neighborhood. Bill is attentive to their needs, professional and flexible. Thanks Bill@”

About: I have always had a furry friend in my life and could not imagine not having one. I have extensive experience walking, bathing, and taking care of pets. I love to go on walks and play catch with the pets. I work from home full time and therefore have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I work out of my house with a fenced in yard for easy play time! Excited to give them all the attention they will let me. I have a strong love for fur animals and your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. My house is a smoke free place and we allow pets on our furniture.

“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 am a caring, patient and responsible person who loves animals. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. I will treat your dog with love and attention, provide enjoyable walks and always respect your instructions. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priority! I am available for dog walking on weekdays. I am flexible with my schedule and will keep my availability updated. I am happy to provide regular walks for your dogs. Your dog’s safety is my priority. I will always use a leash, follow your instructions, provide fresh water when needed, and make sure your dog is safe and comfortable during every walk.

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.

“I had a great experience with Tiffani. I had open communication with her the whole time I was gone and I felt that my dog was well taken care of. I would use her again and recommend Tiffani to my friends and family.”
