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.

“Kayla is the best! Very genuine. Always leaves great comments and takes the most adorable pictures of our pup. I would highly recommend Kayla to look after your pup without any worry!”

About: I am a lifelong dog parent, with over 4 decades of 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 am home nearly around the clock, and committed full time to giving great care and attention to my highly -valued dog guests. I have spent decades frequenting the lake county dog parks; studying their behaviors and interactions with other dogs and with people, which has been an invaluable learning experience for me. I have a very laid back and easy-going approach and style 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. My home is on a 1/2 acre fenced in wooded lot with a cabin like interior and country atmosphere that is both welcoming , safe, and fun for my dog guests, and I make it a top priority to treat your dogs like family. I also 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 dogs 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: My passion is taking care of animals. I've always had animals in my house growing up and currently still have a house full. I understand each animal has their own identity and quirks. I currently have a wide range of animals from 2 cats and a dog to multiple reptiles! I have an extremely flexible schedule which will allow me to be there to help with any pet care need that may arise through our the day or week. I will follow any direction of home care for you pet while you are away. I only want to keep your pet as stress free as possible.

“Guadalupe is great. She to Myron for a nice long walk last night. She followed all my special instructions for him, and is generally very easy to work with. I think that was my 2nd or third booking with her, and I will definitely continue to choose her.”

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve had the joy of raising two dogs from puppies, giving me firsthand experience with everything from potty training and basic training to the high energy and patience that young dogs require. I have been dog sitting for friends & family in Michigan & Illinois for 3 years now. In my professional life, I’m an Occupational Therapist who works with older adults. I regularly help residents safely care for and enjoy time with their beloved pets, so I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior, adapting to individual needs, and providing calm, attentive care. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs who may need a slower pace. Because I’m young and active, I love getting outside for walks, playtime, and adventures that help energetic dogs stay happy and engaged. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a game of fetch, or just lots of cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they’re safe, loved, and having a great time while you’re away! I work a normal 9-5 Monday-Friday. Therefore I prefer to do Friday afternoon-Sunday evening stays! This way I am available 24/7 for the pet. I have a fenced in yard (that is also dig proof). I currently have one very friendly dog who would be eager to any pups companion. My dog is allowed on furniture/in beds. We have a lot of sidewalks & trails within our neighborhood for walks. I have multiple security cameras.

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I know every dog is unique and needs unique care. I want to make sure your dog is treated with care and understanding while you're away! I have experience giving oral medications (both pills and liquids). I currently have an open schedule for summer! Whether you need a dog walk or multiple visits for feedings while you're away, I've got you covered! I want to build a trusting relationship with you and you're pets. For home visits, I will take time to ensure your pet is eating and drinking well, make sure litter boxes and crates are clean, and each pet knows I'm there to make them feel safe and loved. Is you're pet a little shy? No worries! I'll give their privacy after making sure everything is taken care of.

About: I grew up in a family with many animals, and I love them immensely. I have taken care of puppies, elderly dogs and even dogs with illness. I myself had a dachshund with cancer, so I am well versed in medication distribution and medical care. I am a School Counselor and Equine Mental Health Therapist. I am looking for clients who would like dog walking, drop-in or dog sitting services in your home. Can't wait to meet your fur babies! Please message me and we can discuss your needs and my availability. :) Thank you!! My pups are my babies, and I treat them with the utmost love, kindness, respect and pampering. I promise to do the same with your pets! I have not met a dog or cat that I havent adored. I am very detailed oriented and like things to be done well, so I will make sure to follow all your instructions to a "t". I am also very reliable, flexible and friendly!

“We are very grateful to have Danya walk our dog on a daily basis. She gives great updates and most importantly is very sweet with Sugar. Definitely recommend!”

“Great experience for my puppy learning to be left alone during the day! Faith kept our training habits going and was even conscientious about checking her water before leaving. So grateful to have someone helping our little family out!”

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 raised with and cared for many different types of animals. Being raised by a avid pet lover gave me the experience I needed in my adult life. Cats Dogs Birds Chickens Saltwater and Freshwater Fish I have 2 cats and a Shiba Inu dog that I care for myself. My family pets. So it's already a daily routine for me! The same way you would! I can be trusted to take them for walks, drop in care. I'd be happy to go over details with you.

About: I have worked in Veterinary medicine for over 14 years. I started out as a kennel attandant and worked by way up to become an uncertified veterinarty technicican. I started pet sitting when I was in high school for my neighbors and have done it part-time ever since. I have experience with all sorts of dog and cat behaviors. I am flexible and can accommodate for most things. I do work 4 10 hr shift right now. I am available in the early AM and late PM. I do have weekends off right now as well. Depending on the location, I can stop in on my lunch breaks if it isn't too far from my work. I will be able to do anything a pet owner asks of me. I think it is good to keep the pet's routine as close to their norm as possible when their owners are away. This helps limits the stress for the pets.

“Awesome! thank you Hope!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and sizes, from playful puppies to calm senior pets. I focus on safety, exercise, and creating a fun, loving environment. I am patient and responsible, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy while under my supervision. Pet care fits into my weekly routine around my job. I am available on Tuesdays at any time, Wednesdays in the morning, and weekends (Saturday and Sunday) at any time. Even with my work schedule, I always make sure to dedicate reliable time for walks, playtime, and pet care. This routine allows me to stay consistent and provide attention and safety for pets when I commit to them. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and happy whether they are at my home or their own. I create a calm and caring environment, provide fresh water, and ensure they get enough exercise and playtime.

About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was able to lift a bag of kibble. I've had 3 dogs over the course of my life, but that barely scratches the surface of the pets I've cared for. I've always been the go-to pet sitter for family, friends, and neighbors; not to mention the countless strays that I've enncountered and cared for until I could find their owners and/or a reliable shelter to take them. I cared for my last dog as he battled lymphoma for the last 10 months of his life and required nearly round-the-clock care. I have no greater appreciation in my life than animals. Currently I'm in school in the morning, but have free time during the day. I am also usually free on weekends to do pet care. I have a fenced in yard, so my dog has plenty of room to sniff and play. I like to do puzzles and activities to keep him occupied.
