Pet Sitting in Lake Barrington

“Victoria was amazing! She is so warm and friendly and I immediately felt comfortable leaving my pup in her care. She did a great job communicating with me, sending me pics of my pup and loving on her. I will absolutely use her services again. My dog loved her and that is all that really matters! Thanks so much Victoria!”

“Kati did an awesome job with a very stubborn, picky dog =) He’s getting old and had a paw infection that required oral medications twice a day. He’s very picky and anxious, and Kati made me feel like he was in great hands. She also went above and beyond to take care of his toenail when it bled and bothered him. I would definitely recommend her!”

“This was my first experience using Rover and Jacqueline & Uriel were wonderful! I loved the updates they sent when checking in on my cat Pumpkin. They successfully administered her asthma inhaler twice a day while I was out of the state. The communication and professionalism they both displayed was very much appreciated. My cat Pumpkin loved their pets and playtime visits!”

“Doug was great with Rose and sensitive to her needs especially during the rain storms over the weekend. Rose is scared of the rain and he took extra care with her. He communicated well with us on each visit. Highly recommend Doug.”

“Freaking FANTASTIC! Dogs really enjoyed you and you seem to have a fine touch with animals and how you capture their energy very well through a camera lenses. We will definitely book again!”

“Katerina was great with our cat. She arrived every day on time and always sent a picture! She was even able to give Tony his transdermal medication which can be a real pain. I would certainly book her again.”

“Dayna is fantastic. My dogs really liked her. She was extremely flexible as my plans changed several times. She sent lots of pictures and let me know what was happening with my fur babies every step of the way. I will definitely trust my babies with her in the near future. Highly recommend her.”

About: It all started when I was 5 and my sister and I convinced our animal loving parents to add to our family, we got a golden retriever puppy and a kitten in the same year. I have never lived a day without a pet in 35 years! I have open availability. I have 2 smaller dogs and a parrot. I live in a nice, quiet neighborhood perfect for walking furry friends. Ricky and Lucy (cavapoos) love a good slumber party :) I do not have a fenced in yard. My pups know the perimeters. I do take leashed potty breaks and walks with pup visitors. I am familiar with "runners" and an capable of making sure that doesn't happen!

“Jill was wonderful - I truly felt our dogs were in great hands!!”

About: I am a Special Education teacher who works at a Therapeutic School by day and an animal lover all day and night. I do not have kids but I have 3 cats and babysit my friends and families fur babies any chance I get. Pets have free range of my home, they can relax on the couch, chair and bed whenever they want. I have experience watching dogs from pups-elderly. I volunteer at a local animal rescue in Palatine and bring in therapy dogs to visit my classroom. I rescued and adopted a deaf kitty with one eye, and I've always had animals in my home. I am a non-smoker and vegan (vegans really do love animals). For any overnight/weekend stays, I will be home and available to play, go for lots of walks and hangout all weekend long with your fur baby. Regular walks, feedings, playtime and relaxation based on your dogs needs is my priority. I have three loving cats who will keep your dog company. I have a small backyard that is away from cars/traffic and a large front yard. I have a dog tie out and spiral stake for dogs that want to roam around my unfenced front and/or backyard. Playdates with neighboring dogs is always an option or solo, quiet time if they prefer. I can keep your pet on their walking/feeding/play/sleep schedule as you request.

About: I am a retired high school educator, artist, outdoor enthusiast, and animal lover. I am a five-star walker and a very reliable and compassionate caregiver for your pet. I often feel we are kindred spirits and I am totally intrigued by their individual personalities. I have cared for dogs both personally or professionally for most of my life and willingly care for your pet and their individual needs. Whether it be exploring adventure, padding the neighborhood (walking or running), gifting belly rubs, or providing hydration & nutrition, your pet’s needs will be personalized while in my care with much love and affection. In the future, I hope to rehabilitate dogs and work with their family members to provide a safe space filled with discipline, affection, and a true sense of belonging. You can depend on me and trust that your pet will feel cherished and loved while in my care. Since retiring from teaching, my hours of 1:1 attention have expanded. I am now available to give full weekday hours to your pet in addition to my time during weekends. While caring for pets in parks and neighborhoods, I keep them on a leash during all walks and runs. If we are lounging in the yard I provide the dog an opportunity to relax on a lead while I am outdoors with them. For owners who allow their dogs to visit Lakewood Dog Park’s expansive exercise area, I monitor those dogs while they run and play off leash under my constant supervision. While indoors, I follow the rules that my pet owners prefer whether it be cuddling on furniture and slumbering in bed with me or crating them within their cozy caves with their favorite snuggle toy. I do everything I can to mirror the eating, playing, and napping comfort with the same positive experiences your pet receives in your living home while throwing in a little extra spoiling 🐶❤️🐶
