Pet Sitting Johnsburg

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Danielle is absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend her enough. She is incredibly reliable, communicative, flexible, and genuinely cares about my dogs. I travel frequently for work, and having someone I completely trust to care for them while I’m away gives me so much peace of mind. She always keeps me updated, is wonderful about working with my travel schedule, and I never have to worry about how they’re doing when they’re with her. One of my dogs is older and the other has some additional care needs, and Danielle is so patient and attentive with both of them. It means so much to know they’re being cared for by someone who treats them like her own. I’m incredibly grateful I found her and would recommend her without hesitation! ❤️🐾”

“I was really nervous leaving my 9 month month old kitty and 18 year old cat at home for 5 days while i was gone, but Rachel was such a wonderful sitter, and provided me with wonderful photos and thoughtful, detailed updates while i was gone that really put my mind at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Rachel really went above and beyond to make sure my cats were well taken care of, played with and happy. She even brought a few toys and treats for them to play with! And my 18 year old cat needed a topical medicine in her ear each day, which Rachel applied to her no problem… meaning my cat really trusts her. I almost think my cats were a little disappointed to see me instead of Rachel opening the door when i got home yesterday haha! Thanks so much Rachel - we will absolutely be in touch the next time we need a sitter!! I highly recommend her :)”

About: I am the definition of an animal lover, which I attribute to having had animals around my entire life. I grew up with Australian shepherds, German shepherds, cats, hamsters, and even tarantulas! I am extremely comfortable walking dogs, giving them medication via food, and managing when to let them out to go to the bathroom. I’m also willing to give a big furry dog a good brush if they need it! I have lived primarily with big dogs, but have had close relationships with small dogs through friends and my husband’s family whom I have dog sat for in the past. In addition, I am a massive cat lover. I was given a kitten when I was 8 years old and had her for 19 years until she just recently passed. In her senior years, she had both hypothyroidism and asthma so I am well-versed in giving cats inhalers and medication in various forms (via dropper, ear application, in treats, and in food). I am a dependable dog and cat sitter/caretaker because I know how much your animal means to you. I’m an extremely organized person so you can count on me to be reliable with pick-up, drop-off, and everything in between. Taking care of your animal would not be a job to me because I am so happy to do it! I work all day Tuesday and Thursday and the occasional Monday, Wednesday or Friday depending on when I am scheduled (only 4 hours shifts on those days) so I could watch an animal full time during three weekdays in addition to weekends. I am still more than willing to watch an animal for an entire week and either modify my work schedule to be with them more, or just make sure they are set up for the days I am in office. I have a non-smoking home with one cat and two people including myself. My home would be an extremely relaxing environment for a pet and due to my flexible schedule, I can dedicate nearly full-time care to an animal. Since I have a cat, I would only really be able to have dogs stay overnight for a couple-day stint since I'd prefer to keep them separate. In my client's home I would offer the same care in addition to respecting the environment. I'm naturally a very clean person and always pick up after myself.

“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: Hi, I'm Macy! My family and I just recently moved to the Fox Lake area, and it sure is beautiful. I am a dog lover and dog mom of a handsome young beagle named Tom and a high energy Cattle Dog mix named Titan. I'm excited to be a part of a fun adventure in your pups life! I am always thinking about my pup when I'm away, as I'm sure you are when you're at work as well. I'd love to put your mind at ease that they are being cared for when you are away. We love to go on small walks around the neighborhood, but even more we love to explore new trails where there are lots of new smells!

“Haylea is a fantastic sitter. She sends so many pictures and communicates so much information. I am happy to recommend her to anyone needing someone to take care of their best friend.”

About: I have worked professionally in the dog care industry for 3 years as a Doggy Daycare Attendant and Professional Dog Bather. During that time, I have cultivated skills that include puppy and senior canine care, administering topical and oral medications, and assisting physically disabled pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am happy to tailor my care to the specific requirements a pet parent has described. I am available 9 am-6 pm, Tuesday through Saturday, every week for drop-in visits, walks, and playtimes. My schedule will be updated if and when my responsibilities change. I am happy to follow specific instructions in your home and on your property when taking care of your pet. Please let me know if you'd like shoes removed at the door, rooms to remain unaccessed, where you would like pets kept once I leave the premises, and any other important details about your home and pet.

About: I've had pets all through late childhood and into adulthood. I currently live in an apartment that makes owning pets difficult, but I love nothing more than to snuggle up on the couch with a fluffy friend and a book. I've been able to get my "puppy fix" by petsitting for friends and family. I'm the one they call when they'll be out of town or working late to take care of their fluffy family member. I'm looking for more dogs and cats to add to my life long friend list. I currently work full time, 1 evening a week. I don't have any pets of my own to take care of, so I'm pretty flexible when it comes to taking care of others' pets. I love taking dogs for walks or hikes. I'm available to come and visit a pet to give companionship, meals, potty breaks, etc. I have experience with puppies as well as senior pets.

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.

About: Hi my name is Ashly! I am here for all your pet needs! I grew up in northern Illinois where we had a farm with various animals. We fostered dogs for a time.. At one point waking up on thanksgiving to 10 border collie pups being born in our dining room. I do have a 1 year old Aussie doodle named Bodhi, he loves other dogs and people. I also have a 10 year old little boy who is a dog LOVER! I do work for the complex that I live in, so I am more than capable of check ins as needed. We also have a dog park within walking distance of my apartment! I am very mindful of your pets needs, and more than happy to set up meet and greets ahead of time to make you feel more comfortable! I currently work full time weekdays 9 am to 6 pm. I do live where I work, my apartment is within walking distance of my office so I am more than able to stop and check on your fur baby as needed! I am more than happy to set up a meet and greet at my apartment to make you feel as comfortable as possible. I am on the second floor with a screened in patio. We are also within walking distance of the dog park if your pet is in need of more activity!

“Chris came to our rescue with little notice, as we had a family event enter our lives, and I can’t thank Chris enough. Our introductory meeting with Tricksy, our Shar Pei, went very smoothly as Chris was confident and open around her. She also listened carefully to Tricksy’s personal habits and idiosyncrasies. Wee felt positive about having the drop-on visits and Chris kept us well informed with messages and photos. Can’t thank her enough for helping us through this time of grieving for my family.”

Good experience and very reliable.”

About: I have been walking dogs for about two years and it all started when my sister got a puppy. Through that experience I discovered how much I enjoy walking, caring for, and training dogs. I currently work full time but I have most evenings available. I usually have a very flexible schedule so I can accommodate every pets needs. Safety is always my number one concern. As a pet owner my self, I understand how important our fur babies are and I always insure every pet is safe and comfortable at all times.

About: I have owned both cats and dogs throughout my life, I have experience with furry friends of all ages and have even raised day old kittens rejected by their mothers. I find comfort through animals, and love meeting new fur babies. I am currently a college student meaning I’m unavailable Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:30 pm until 3:45 pm and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 am until 1 pm. I provide attentive care to pets and make sure they’re the happiest they can be. I love spending time around animals. My goal is to make sure your pet is safe and happy and provide you with the best care possible.

About: As good as home boarding. Treated like family 🐾 A private home with a half acre of fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. I only book one family at a time unless otherwise arranged. I’m almost always home, but when I’m running errands, dogs are never left alone for more than 4 hours. I’ve had pets in my family my whole life: always dogs, a few cats over the years, a house rabbit, hamsters, ducks, fish, lizards, turtles - so many lovely creatures! I’ve worked with rescues and shelters and have taken care of elderly dogs at the end of their lifespan administering medications orally, injections, and topically. Trained in doggy CPR. I also offer drop in visits for feeding, playtime, walks, and tidying up after your pets. Hazel is the host dog, a rescued, spayed, husky mix who gets along well with good natured dogs of all sizes. Your dog should be up to date on its vaccinations, healthy, and neutered if male. For my other job I do freelance graphic design from home and make my own schedule, so I’m very flexible with my time. When boarding at my home your pet will have my company throughout the day. I offer check ins, feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after all pets and livestock at their home. I board dogs and caged pets overnight or for multiple days at my home where dogs have access to a fenced yard at any time of the day, full time supervision, and cozy accommodations.

“We booked Ali last minute for a long weekend. She was amazing with our dog and helped give her medication. She truly was a lifesaver. She had great updates and ensured my dog got play time along with a lot of pets.”

About: I have had dogs, cats and pets of all types since childhood. Often referred to as “The chosen one” in my own home because of my relationship with our dog and cat. I am frequently asked to look after our neighbors dogs. Experienced at administering injections and IV fluids as well. I am recently retired and find myself with far more free time. Weekdays are a particularly good time for me to be available to care for animals I have a dog (Bandit) and a cat (Dublin) who are given love and attention to the point of being spoiled rotten. They are fed regularly and responsibly with the highly sought after treat from time to time. Walks are non negotiable for Bandit and both get a heavy dose of play time as well as some quality chill time together.
