Dog Sitting Lake Bluff

“Extremely happy with Christine. This is the first time I've had a drop in visit for my pets in 10 years. Christine reassured me and even came to visit my fur babies before. She brought an ease and I felt complete trust that they were in good hands. I was given many updates every visit and pictures. She was thoughtful and always on time. My pets were very comfortable with her. Which made my trip less stressful. I would definitely recommend Christine and I will happily recommend her and have her back again in the future.”

“Maya was wonderful! Followed all instructions and really took time to care for our pup, would highly recommend her for dog sitting and will definitely have her come back to care for our dogs in the future!”

“Sydney took great care of my cat. She sent regular photo updates. She gave Pip plenty of attention during visits and Pip even posed with her for a selfie. Pip never does selfies. When I got home, my cat was happy and calm. I will absolutely hire Sydney again.”

“AK was excellent. She played with Pebbles on her terms (cats…). She took care of everything and sent lots of pictures. I would highly recommend her.”

About: Hi, I'm Faye! I'm a college student home for the summer with a flexible schedule, and I'd love to spend my free time caring for your pets. As a lifelong dog lover and owner of two dogs, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from my own 15-pound pup to two 115-pound Black Russian Terriers, so I'm comfortable handling both small and large breeds. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just getting lots of attention and affection, I'm happy to tailor my care to their needs. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and dog sitting (depending on location), and I'll treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am pretty flexible, but it depends on which week is needed. If you are interested please reach out and we can talk about my availability! I have two dogs of my own, a Standard Poodle and a Terrier mix, so I know just how important it is to keep dogs happy, active, and feeling loved. They both enjoy daily walks, playing fetch in the backyard, and, of course, plenty of cuddle time! When caring for client's dogs, I treat them like they're my own. Whether it's going for walks, playing their favorite games, or relaxing with lots of pets and cuddles, I make sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve.

About: What sets me apart is my background as a Physician Assistant student, which means I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and used to caring for others with real responsibility. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets, medication administration, and pets who need a little extra patience or monitoring. I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, and safety—whether that’s following feeding instructions to the letter, noticing when something feels “off,” or making sure your pet is comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also have experience with gentle puppy care, reinforcing routines, and providing consistent structure without harsh training methods. Bottom line: I don’t just “watch” pets, I care for them thoughtfully and intentionally, the same way I’m trained to care for patients. Your pet’s well-being always comes first. Weekly Routine: I’m most available Friday through Sunday, which allows for longer visits, flexible scheduling, and unrushed care. I plan my days in advance so walks, feedings, and check-ins happen consistently. Daily Care: I build pet care into my routine, not around it—no last-minute rushing. I follow established schedules closely and ensure each visit receives my full attention. Communication: I’m responsive and proactive with updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how things are going. In short: structured care, flexible weekends, and pets that stay on their routine. I prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment. In a client’s home, I closely follow routines, secure doors and leashes, and respect the space. I’m attentive, careful, and proactive with communication.

“Christina was amazing!! We knew she was special when she got our very timid Bodhi to come out of hiding on her very first visit!! She sent lots of photos and updates, and our spoiled kitties were clearly very happy and pampered in her care. She made us feel a lot less guilty about leaving them, haha. We would highly recommend her, and would definitely have her look after our kitties again 😊”

Clients in the past have said I am patient, adaptable, trustworthy and truly go above and beyond for your pup just as I would my own. I’d love the opportunity to gain a new furry friend and hope to take any anxiety away from leaving your baby.

About: I've taken care of my hyper active dog that likes to jump off walls for 10 years. I took care of a couple coworkers' pets (3 dogs) for weeks on end while they were on vacation. I've taken long walks with dogs no matter the weather, as long as the doggy is well prepared for the weather (ie winter coats and summer shoes). My previous dog loved sticking his head out of the car when I drive so I can drive around with your doggy if thats what they want. Taking them on nature walks will always be my favorite thing, so dogs can experience something new. I do work full time in lake forest but I thankfully have a flexible schedule, especially for lunch. I am able to take 1.5 hours for lunch so I can always swing by the house for a check in. I'm always free on weekends to give the animals the most love and care I will keep up to date on any issues that arises and be vigilant in making sure the animals don't mess up the garden or make a mess in the house. I can help clean the floors of all the dog hair

About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs and have over 10 years of hands-on pet-care experience. My family dog, Darwin, has been with us for 13 years, so I understand the patience, attention, and gentleness that older dogs need, especially as they begin to lose sight, hearing, or mobility. I also care for Lucy, our 3 year old dog, who keeps me active with walks, playtime, and lots of fetch. I’m comfortable caring for both young, energetic dogs and senior dogs who need a slower pace, extra help, or a calm routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they are well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently working a part time job and am very flexible with scheduling throughout the week. I am available weekdays and weekends to take care of your dogs. I have experience with both a senior dog and a younger active dog, I’m comfortable adapting care based on age and ability. I can take things slow for older dogs, be patient with mobility or sensory issues, and provide active play and walks for younger dogs. I’ll always treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own.

About: Hi, I'm Chelly! I've always been an animal lover and have had the privilege of loving and caring for so many fur babies at Yuppy Puppy in Lake Bluff for about 2 years! I'm based in the Lake County and North Shore area, but if you're a bit farther out, don't worry, I'm always open to finding the perfect fit. Whether your pup needs a walk, your cat wants a friendly check-in, or you need someone to house sit while you're away, I am ready to help! I love working with animals of all ages and backgrounds, playful puppies, curious kittens, wise seniors, and even pets who need medications or a little extra love. I'm here to attend to your pets and your needs as an owner! :) I have a dog of my own, a sweet doodle named Bambi, and she ignites my love for dogs every single day. I know your pet is truly family and I promise to care for them as if they were my own, showering them with love and sending you plenty of photos so you always know how they're doing. 🐾 ♡ I have an extremely flexible schedule to fit all pet parent needs! I am currently a student in online summer school, but am available Monday-Saturday, 6:00 AM - 5:00 PM. I'm always willing to work outside this schedule for the right person, so don't be afraid to ask. :) When I’m house sitting, my goal is for your pet to feel like they’re hanging out with a friend, not just someone filling in. I pay close attention to the little rituals, favorite toys, bedtime snuggles, and those everyday quirks that mean so much to your pet. I’ll do my best to keep their world steady and familiar, so they can truly relax while you’re away. Your home will be treated with respect, and your furry companion will get plenty of love until you return. I always pay attention to detail, making sure doors are secure, gates are latched, and your pet can explore safely. Whether we’re out for a sunny walk or just lounging at home, I’m watching for every tail wag, ear perk, or sign that your pet needs something. With experience caring for both mellow seniors and energetic pups, I’m flexible and patient, ready to adapt to whatever makes your pet happiest. Your pet will always be treated like family! :)

About: Aside from having my own personal dogs in home most of my life I have been volunteering working with and training rescues for 2 years now. Two hours in the Morning, two hours around lunch and all evenings are all free to care for the pets. Walks, fetch and training all available. If dogs are kid and animal friendly I will be able to give them lots of socialization in those environments plus lots of outdoor activity. Have experience working with dogs that don’t interact with other dogs very well.

About: I grew up with pets and have years of experience caring for animals, including feeding, administering medication, and keeping their spaces clean and comfortable.

Since I can’t have pets of my own right now, I truly enjoy caring for others’ and making sure they feel loved and well cared for.
