House Sitting Lake Forest

“Aly stayed at our house with our 2 pups for a week and we are so appreciative! She took them to the dog park, went on walks and sent us pictures of their adventures. The house and the dogs were in great shape when we returned. We highly recommend Aly for any of your pet sitting needs!!”

About: I have been dog sitting since my teenage years for family, friends, neighbors, and repeat clients. I always send frequent photo and video updates to give you complete peace of mind. I also have hands-on experience administering oral medications safely and on schedule. Your pup’s safety, routine, and comfort are always my top priorities! With my highly flexible schedule it will be easy for me to give your fur babies the love, time, and attention they deserve and are used to! Your pets will be safe and sound at home with me! I tailor my care to their personality, giving them all the love and attention they're comfortable with!

About: I have taken care of my dogs and cats since I was physically able to. I have always had a strong love for pets and never had a hard time adjusting when my parents would get us new ones. There was a point in time where i had 7 pets in the house! I absolutely adore animals and have been hired by friends and family to house/pet sit while they are away since i was able to drive. Im currently student at the University of Alabama. So I have lots of free time to care for your pets. I’m free before 2 pm every weekday and every 5 pm every weekday. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I stick to their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention, so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.

About: I grew up in the country and my dad showered me and my brother with puppies. We were in charge of raising them and making sure they always had what they needed and we did this basically our whole lives. Different breeds, different attitudes, different sizes! I’ve even raised a few in my room, I know! It was pretty smelly, but it was fun and fulfilling! I’m home mosty week days catching up with work on my laptop, so it works perfectly for me. On weekends, I’ll be able to pet sit as well. I currently don’t have any pets living in my apartment but at home we had a gated fence and would let the dogs outside to use the bathroom whenever they needed to or whenever they needed to chase a squirrel or get their zoomies out. They would mostly stay inside and eat twice throughout the day and nap with me.

“Savannah is amazing! Our dog, Willy, was genuinely bummed when we got home and Savannah had to leave lol. She played with him a lot, sent us many great photos, and gave him tons of fun and attention. He was a very happy dog and slept like a rock that night. We’re definitely rebooking with her next time we’re in town. Thanks, Savannah!”

About: Well I took care of my elderly neighbor dog for 4 months and I had my own husky that I took care of when I was twelve so I have experience with hyper dog and one that are more calm My schedule is built around my college classes, which means I have dedicated, reliable gaps during the middle of the day perfect for mid-day walks, feeding, and potty breaks. Because I manage my study time closely, I am fully focused and present during the hours I am booked. I keep my calendar updated with my exact class times, so you can always count on me to show up right on time and give your pup the exercise and attention they need. Since I provide care directly at your home, my number one priority is maintaining your dog's safety and peace of mind in their own environment. Growing up with a Husky taught me to always be hyper-aware of safety—I double-check that all doors, gates, and crates are completely secure before I leave, and I keep a firm, confident grip on the leash during walks to handle any sudden pulls or distractions.I treat your home with the utmost respect, always leaving it exactly as I found it. I stick strictly to the feeding, bathroom, and exercise routines you set so your dog's day stays predictable and stress-free. Plus, I love sending plenty of photo and text updates during my visits so you can see exactly how much fun your pup is having.

“Ivey did an amazing job caring for my three dogs while I was away. Leaving three dogs with someone isn’t something I take lightly, but she made the entire experience easy and worry-free. She kept me updated with messages and photos throughout my trip, which gave me real peace of mind. It was obvious my dogs were well cared for, loved, and received plenty of attention. They were happy, relaxed, and comfortable when I returned home. Ivey was dependable, communicative, and genuinely cared about my dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I will definitely book with her again!”

About: Neighbors and friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs while gone for about a year now. Whatever you want done I can do it! I’m currently working part time so have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I love being active and enjoy long walks so dog sitting works perfectly for me! You can trust I’ll take good care of your pets! I’m very responsible, trustworthy, and love spending time playing with pups! I also love being outdoors too!

About: I have three years of dog-sitting experience, caring for everything from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. As a proud pet parent myself, I believe in showering our babies with all the love and affection their precious lives deserve. I prioritize active, joyful outdoor time, including trips to the park, long walks, and relaxing together on the back porch! I'm correctly working part time and have a fairly flexible schedule. I want to be able to prioritize your pet's needs whether that looks like 1+ hour walks/ enrichment time or special feeding times and instructions. Your pets comfort is my number 1 priority. I love to go on long walks, go to the dog park, or used the fenced in dog space in my neighborhood to allow our babies the time they need to play and get the enrichment that they need. A pet is always welcome to make themselves at home in my space even if that means that I have to adapt certain things to their needs like assistance getting in bed for puppies and elder dogs or making sure that their favorite toys are always available for them to play with.

“This was the first time we used Kathleen. She did a great job. It gave us peace of mind while we were visiting our son and daughter. To be at the birth of our first grandson. Thank you, Kathleen.”

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life! I love and care for every dog I encounter with the same love I give my own! I am currently working part time! So when it comes to drop in appointments I can come before and after to take care of the fur babies! I have a fenced in back yard at my own home but when it comes to taking care of a pet at a clients home I will play with them out doors, walk them, and give them all the love and affection they need!

About: I’ve had my beagle, Sméagol, since I was 6 years old. Now, 16 years old you can still find her running around happy as can be! I’ve raised my 3 year old- Pibble- since she was merely the size of my hand; she’s my best friend! I also volunteer at the animal shelter and recently was offered a job there! I am a senior at UA, but I am taking online courses. I do have two dogs of my own but I can always bring them to my house (which I own) and we can spend more time together! If your babies don’t feel comfortable around other dogs or don’t want to leave their safe space, I could check on them every 2-4 hours! I have a fenced in yard (9 feet tall) so even the biggest babies couldn’t hop over it. I work with abused dogs frequently and know how to create a safe and comfortable environment for more skiddish doggos. It’s very important to me that not only your fur baby is comfortable, but that you as the owner also feel comfortable; knowing your baby is safe. My care will vary based off of the dog and their individual needs as well as the owners preferences. Rest assured, I take tons of pictures so you feel connected to your baby while you are away!

“She did such a great job! I have an elderly dog that is high needs and she took great care.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all different sizes and personalities throughout my life, especially the last 6 years. Back home I have three dogs, including 2 Labrador retrievers and a chihuahua mix rescue. I used to dog sit for my neighbors every few months, typically for a week at a time. Now that I am at college at UA, I miss constantly being around dogs and I hope to fill that missing piece through Rover! I am great about exercising, feeding on time, and potty breaks. If you have any more questions feel free to ask! I’m currently working part-time, but will have plenty of time to check in on your pups :) My schedule is usually completely free during the day up until 4pm. I also get breaks at work and can stop in to let your furbaby out! I currently live in a spacious apartment with two of my best friends that also love dogs. We have a fenced-in dog park right next to our unit! It takes less than a minute walk from my door to the park.

“Angela took great care of our two dogs, braving freezing and snowy weather and sending us lots of updates and photos. We’ll definitely be asking her to watch our pups again!”

“A warm welcome to my dogs, she was very attentive to them. Very responsive throughout the process and while sitting. Very capable of taking care of our older fur baby.”

About: I have been training and taking care of dogs and cats since I was little. I love playing and caring for all types of my four legged friends. I am currently attending the University of Alabama, so my schedule is very flexible and open to all types of schedules! My schedule is completely open in summer. Please reach out for any questions!

About: Hi! My name is Adrian, and I've been around dogs and cats for most of my life. I grew up helping care for large dogs and have always been the person my family relies on to feed, play with, and look after our pets. I especially love large breeds and enjoy spending time outdoors, playing, and making sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to earn their trust so they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'll treat your pets with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'm currently very flexible and have plenty of availability throughout the week for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Because my schedule is open, I can dedicate plenty of attention to your pets instead of rushing between commitments. I communicate regularly, send photo updates, and always make sure owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. For everyone's safety and comfort, I currently only offer care in my client's home. My family dog is not comfortable around unfamiliar animals, so I don't provide boarding in my own home. When caring for pets in your home, I carefully follow your routines, make sure fresh water is always available, maintain feeding and bathroom schedules, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I also treat every home with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a clean home

“I would book Kamryn to watch Diggs a thousand times over! She took extra time and care to make sure he was comfortable with her (he’s scan be pretty anxious with new people). She updated me several times a day about potties and feedings and took her time to hang out and play with him. I felt so comfortable leaving Diggs in her care!! I cannot thank her enough for the extra steps and reassurance she provided me that he was in the best care while I way away!!”
