Pet Sitting in Lake Forest

“Maggie is awesome! Our boys LOVE her - even the super shy one. She is very flexible and agreed to check in on our boys on very short notice - hugely appreciated. We have already booked her for another trip we're taking next week. Couldn't be happier.”

About: I grew up on a farm and have been surrounded by animals my entire life, including cows, chickens, horses, sheep, pigs, cats, and dogs. Being raised around so many different animals helped shape my deep love and respect for animals of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities. I truly believe every animal is unique and deserves individualized care. I take the time to get to know each pet I care for, learning their routines, preferences, and needs so I can provide the best possible care. I have years of experience as a trusted pet sitter for neighbors and clients, caring for pets ranging from energetic puppies and kittens to senior animals who need extra patience and attention. I am comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions, and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health. I am confident working with animals of all ages and sizes and am knowledgeable about common conditions and needs of cats, dogs, and farm animals. My goal with every walk or visit is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always show them the kindness, patience, and respect they deserve. I work part time in the evenings, so I have lots of availability in the mornings to go on walks, spend quality time playing, and give your pets plenty of attention. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I always make safety, trust, and comfort my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, walk schedules, medications, and any household rules. I take the time to make sure pets feel calm and comfortable in their own environment and adjust my approach based on each pet’s personality and needs. I keep a close eye on pets during visits and walks, watching for any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy, and I will always reach out right away if I notice anything out of the ordinary. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure, clean up after pets, and leave the home just as I found it. I treat every home with respect and care, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your space. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and messages during visits so you can feel confident knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Michele was amazing! She checked in on our two kitties while we were away on a family trip. She sent photos from each day as well as responded whenever a question came up. As someone with anxiety, I completely trust her to look after our fur babies. We can tell they were well cared for and we will absolutely be scheduling with her again! 🐈‍⬛🐈🩵🐾”

“We’re so happy to have met Bradey. We have 2 small malteses. A blind 16 year old (Roxy) and a nervous 4 year old (Bob). Our Roxy gets very anxious and will sometimes have accidents at home. Bradey was greeted with a couple accidents and she helped clean it up. She cleaned up Roxy too. Bob was nervous at first and eventually warmed up to her after a couple treats. She gave us updates throughout the drop in which was really reassuring. She sent us pictures of our dogs and the walks which was great. She did walks with each dog and when I came home from work, they were both so calm. I was almost certain that she may not want to come back as some of our sitters have found Roxy to be overwhelming but instead she sent me the kindest message that she would love to drop in or house sit for both my babies anytime. We have booked her for our upcoming trip. We appreciate Bradey so much. Thank you for caring for our babies.”

I live near parks so happy to take them on long walks or if they're lower activity we can snuggle on my couch. I look forward to meeting and taking care of your loved one! I work from home 2 days a week and other 3 i only go into the office for half days.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for more than 7 years, from puppy to senior dogs, including fostering dogs from shelter. I love spending time with them and get to know more about doggies every day. I’m working from home, so have plenty time to take care of your doggies. My husband and I split the dog daily routines, where he take them for a longer after work, and I take them for morning potty breaks. I have a front yard and a back dog run. within my community, there are dog parks nearby and lots of green spaces for dog walk and explore

“Crystal did an amazing job taking care of our two bunnies while we were away for the week. Super attentive to detail, responsive, and cared for them as we would. We highly recommend her. Thanks again Crystal!!! :)”

About: I taking care of pets. I'm an animal lover. I have a lot of experience caring for pets since I've had pets since I was 13 (I'm 32 now). I've been a pet sitter for my sister's 2 dogs; brother's 3 cats; my brother-in-law's 2 dogs; my parent's 2 dogs; and aunt's two dogs and 1 cat. Now, I have my own clients that love my services. I have learned a lot of behavioral training skills my friend Tony Nila, the dog trainer from tony-nila[dot]com. Overall, I put your pets needs first. If your pet has special needs, physical activities, medication, etc. I will write notes on that matter to make sure I remember. The happiness of you and your pets is my #1 priority. I will make sure they are in a safe, happy and comfortable environment. I will make sure they are fed, hydrated, and happy. I take care of pets every day. I love to take my dog on morning and evening walks around the neighborhood at the same time. Dogs love routine. It helps them prepare to eat and use the restroom. It's also important for her to sniff different scents and exercise. What are some things that might bother your pet? Does your pet bite? Is your pet mouthing? Does your pet like other pets or other people? Does your dog like to bark at or show aggression towards people/other animals? Is your pet good on walks (walk beside you without pulling on the leash or lunge forward)? Does your pet have any allergies? Does your pet need any special assistance?

“I‘m very pleased with the drop in visit that Zhenni provided for my pups. We came to town for a wedding and Zhenni came to the hotel to drop in on my two puppies and take them potty. She followed my specific instructions and even went beyond. She was easy to communicate with and sent a follow-up report along with photos. If I‘m in the area again, and am in need of a pet sitter, she will be my first choice. Thank you, Zhenni.”

“Kianna was my first sitter through Rover! She was so kind with my requests and even sent me some videos/pictures! She has a very positive spirit and responds quickly. I will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have cared for my first pet (pug) by the name of Peanut for 3 years as well as other friends dogs Since my parents love her so much I decided to leave her with them after moving for work Now I’m looking to care for more dogs in my spare time since I miss having one myself I am currently blessed enough to work from home full time and tag teaming care with my fiance I’ll always be able to keep a watchful eye on any good doggo throughout the day I have an enclosed patio for the dogs to roam and we live next to a big park for the dogs to play and let loose some energy !

“First time using Denise. She took great care of my two fur babies. Feed and watered them twice a day. So nice being able to vacation stress free knowing that my pups were being well cared for. Denise was great and I will definitely use her again.”

About: I truly treat every dog like family — I even call my friends’ and clients’ pups my “nieces and nephews.” Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds, including golden retrievers, pugs, shibas, and shih tzus, each with their own unique personalities and needs. One thing I’m especially proud of is helping shy or anxious dogs feel more confident. With patience, structure, and lots of positive reinforcement, I’ve built strong, trusting relationships with pups who need a little extra love and reassurance. I always go above and beyond to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and adored. Whether it’s giving treats, playing in the park, keeping them engaged with fun activities, or tucking them in for the coziest nap — I make their time with me feel like a home-away-from-home. We’re able to provide 24/7 care, which is something we’re really proud of. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and even on the days I go into the office, I always come home at lunch to check in. My fiancé works from home full-time, so there’s always someone here to give your pup attention, comfort, and company. Caring for pets is a natural, happy part of our everyday life. I always stay close to the pets I’m caring for so I can quickly respond to their needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I pay attention to their body language, and if a pet seems unsure or unhappy, I take the time to understand what they need and help them feel at ease. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all house rules and routines exactly as instructed. I’m very respectful of both the home and the pet’s normal schedule, so everything feels familiar and stress-free for them.

About: We've had dogs almost all of our lives and because of our extraordinary care our last 3 dogs lived almost 18 years each. What a blessing they all were. The last one recently passed. We have experience with both puppies and senior dogs and are not afraid of dealing with their special issues. We understand, we all have special issues at times. We are looking forward to caring for your doggies, as well as you would care for them. My husband and I both work from home. We are free most of the day to care for your doggies. They will enjoy being with us and we will enjoy them. We live in a pet friendly suburban community with a doggie run, and lots of walking paths in our community, we also have a large park across the street. We always walk our dogs on a leash and are careful when being around other dogs or children during our walks, we stop and let others pass or we cross the street.
