Thank you so much for taking care of my fur baby. Over the last year we have bonded very tightly. And this is the first time that I've ever left him for a length more than a day or two. So I really appreciate all the love and affection that you gave him. Linda Hirsekorn

About: I've lived with cats for most of my life, and I have experience sitting for both senior dogs and puppies! I'm comfortable around dogs of any size and can handle most medications and messes, provided some instruction. In case it's relevant, I also have some limited experience with a variety of other animals, ranging from birds and mice to horses and rabbits! I'm currently waiting for the growing season to start up again (I'm an environmental technician), so I have plenty of free time during the week to spend helping out with pet care. I have a rather skittish kitty of my own, so I can't board any animals, but I'm happy to come visit others. So long as the information is provided, I'm happy to help feed, play with, clean up after, and help give medications to your furry family members as needed.

Brittany was outstanding and took wonderful care of my boys while I was away for work. She sent very detailed reports of her visits along with lots of pics 💜 My boys took right to her and immediately cuddled and played which is a testament to her spirit and personality. I would highly recommend Brittany and will definitely be using her services again.

Sam is absolutely amazing!!! She went above and beyond caring for our little guy. We highly recommend booking her services. We’ve already booked for our next trip and I’m definitely not worried about my pet being home alone with Sam completing her daily visits with him. Thank you for everything.

About: I am a lifelong dog parent, with over 40 years experience with many different breeds; ranging from Terriers to Labs, Shepherds, Huskys, Bully Breeds, Hounds, Herding dogs, Sporting and Working breeds, Toy groups, and many mixed breeds. I have spent decades frequenting the lake county dog parks; studying their behaviors and interactions with other dogs and with people. I have a very laid back and easy-going approach that I have had great success with in relating to and connecting with dogs and their pet parents. I am very tuned in to their body language, and very adept at reading their emotions. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in yard with a cabin like interior that is very welcoming to dogs. I offer both a fun and safe environment for my pet guests, and will treat them like family. I have lake access with a private beach if your dog(s) like to swim. I frequent the lake county dog parks and would love to take your dog(s) along if that is something you are comfortable with. I am very flexible - and typically available 7 days per week. I am available nights, weekends, and holidays. Ideally allow for two days advance notice. Safety is my top priority. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in lot, and a very warm and comfortable dog friendly home, that was once a summer cottage close to Round Lake. I am on a quiet dead end road which is very safe for walks, as well as freedom to roam the yard. My goal is to customize my services to meet your dogs needs, whatever they may be. I will treat your pets as I do my own- like family- lots of fun, exercise and plenty of TLC.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and truly love them more than anything. As a kid, I volunteered at shelters and even donated my lemonade stand money to Save-A-Pet. That same passion has followed me into adulthood—I’ve worked with and supported the Laguna Beach Animal Sanctuary in California, and my family has been housing and walking dogs through Rover for several years. Because of that, I’ve learned how to adapt to all kinds of personalities—from shy rescues to high-energy pups—and make each one feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or endless belly rubs, I’m happy to do whatever your pet needs to feel happy and at home. I also have a flexible schedule, so I can give your pets the consistent attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I love staying active and spending time outdoors. I make it a point to get at least 10,000 steps a day, so walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures with pets easily become part of my rhythm. I also have a very flexible schedule, which means I can give pets my full attention and adjust to their needs without rushing or cutting corners. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and routines with the same respect I’d want for my own. I make sure each pet feels comfortable and secure by keeping their normal feeding, walking, and play schedules consistent. I give lots of affection and attention, but I also pay close attention to any special instructions; whether that’s medications, preferred walking routes, or favorite toys. During overnight stays, I make sure the home stays tidy and that pets feel calm and cared for throughout the night.

Mallory did a great job taking care of our kitties and turtle. They sent pictures and updates each day. The boxes and areas around them were clean when we returned. They also watered our many plants and brought in mail. Thank you!

Michelle eased my mind while we were away on our first trip since one of my cats got her diagnosis that requires daily oral meds to be given. She was punctual and communicative during the visits and my cats loved her. Can’t thank you enough!

Amy did a phenomenal job. She did drops in for my 2 medically fragile cats for 11 days and was able to administer their injectable medicine. She was enthusiastic and attentively executed their comprehensive care tasks. She also gracefully handled a situation where my cat had to be taken to his vet which is quite far from my house and during rush hour. She also left my home very tidy. Great communication and phenomenal care- my cats loved her which is a noteworthy stamp of approval. I would recommend Amy to anyone who has pets with special needs.
