“I’m not one to write reviews but I know how important they were when I choose Debbie and her family to care for my dog. I had so many reservations and worries but after reading great reviews and then after our meet and greet I knew I had chosen the right person. Not only did Debbie and her family care for my dog but it was clear in the pictures I received daily that he was also given so much love to the point I wondered will he want to come back home lol. In addition to caring for our dog I told them due to a back injury Chanze was never leash trained and they took the time to leash train him as they went for daily walks. In every part of his care they went above and beyond what was expected. I will definitely be using Debbie and her family for our next trip. If you have any hesitation with using a complete stranger/an app to choose someone to watch your pet know your worries will quickly go away as this a wonderful family who will shower your pet with nothing but love.”

“Lyndsey was flexible and accommodating with our last minute request along with my dogs diet and meds. She kept us updated on Chewie with pictures and videos. It was evident how much he enjoyed his time there! Will definitely rebook with Lyndsey in the future.”

About: I’m a dedicated volunteer for a nonprofit animal shelter and a certified veterinary assistant with formal training. With over 30 years of experience in foster care and pet sitting, I provide compassionate, reliable care tailored to each animal’s needs. Specialized Care Offered: Insulin administration Subcutaneous fluid therapy Skilled handling of reactive or special-needs dogs Medication administration and monitoring My Home Setup: Safe, supervised in-home dog care with a fully fenced yard Separate quiet area inside the home specifically for cat sitting Clean, calm environment designed for comfort and low stress I’m proud to have loyal, returning clients for over a decade, and I treat every animal like part of the family. If you’re looking for experienced, trustworthy, and compassionate care, I’d love to help. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm—I plan my day around feeding, exercise, and medical needs, ensuring each pet gets consistent, attentive care. However, I do outside of the home and have live cameras to ensure complete safety. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your established routine to keep your animal feeling safe and stress-free. I maintain consistent feeding times, administer medications as directed, provide walks and enrichment, and keep the home tidy during my stay. I carefully observe behavior and appetite, send regular updates, and make sure your pet receives the same love and attention you give them. My goal is to maintain comfort, structure, and security while you’re away.

About: I am a Rover Star Sitter that has completed over 100 bookings to earn my 5-star rating. I’m always ready to help new clients for pet care in McHenry and surrounding areas, and I have holiday availability! For visits and walks, I have flexible weekday evening and weekend all day availability during the school year. For boarding, my husband and I team up to make sure your pet is well cared for in our home throughout all parts of the day. I’ve loved animals all my life. I grew up with a small shih tzu rescue and then later trained a cockapoo puppy. Throughout high school I helped walk dogs and house sit animals for neighbors and friends. In college I became more experienced with puppy training as I trained 3 puppies for a family I babysat and house sat for their two cats often. Now, I help with dogs regularly between my family and friends, and I’m looking to help more furry friends and people in my area. If you’re needing pet care, I’m here to help with drop in visits, walks, or boarding in my own home! I am a full time middle school teacher during the school year, so evenings and weekends work best for drop ins and walks. But for holidays and summer breaks, I have more open weekday availability and flexible daytime hours. For boarding, my husband is at home during the day, and one or both of us will be home during the evening. I always prioritize your pet’s comfort and routine. During each visit, I provide fresh water, meals if needed, potty breaks, and quality playtime, walks, or attention. I closely follow your instructions and will send detailed reports and photos for your peace of mind. If your pet takes medications or has any specific needs, I’m happy to follow your protocols with care and attention. Just let me know what works best for your pet!

“Once again, Jessica and her family are the perfect hosts for my Bear. This is the third time he has stayed with him and I can tell he is getting the very best care I could possibly ask for. She’s great about sending pictures and letting me know how things are going. I can’t say enough about Jessica!”

“Kim is great. She did an amazing job making Jax feel at home, as well as giving me the peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. She sent plenty of updates, pictures, and videos throughout his stay. I could tell he was having fun. She even shared some useful training tips that I plan to use. Jax is definitely looking forward to seeing her again.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Katina! She was available last minute when I needed someone to watch my dog, and she went above and beyond. She provided great care, sent regular updates and photos, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My dog absolutely loved her, and I could tell she was well cared for and happy. I’m so grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind—I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
