Dog Sitting in Lake Forest

“Anna was just wonderful! She came for drop-in visits and looked after my dog and cat while we were gone for 8 days. I looked forward to seeing the photos of my sweet dog on his walks and I couldn’t believe my extremely shy cat made appearances for photos, too! We were relaxed on our vacation knowing our pets were well looked after. Thank you so very much, Anna!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience with both puppies and older dogs. I love animals and have many years experience caring for them. I currently run a mobile chiropractic business but I am available most week days both morning and afternoon. I have a flexible schedule overall Monday- Thursdays. I’m not offering boarding services or doggy daycare right now due to living in an apartment. I apologize for the inconvenience. I do offer drop ins and dog walking however!

“Elizabeth was great! Plenty of photos to give the over protective cat owner confidence in our boys’ well being. She was responsive and, most importantly, a cat lover like us. We cannot recommend someone more highly!”

About: I am a college student at the university of Michigan finishing up my Senior year. I have fostered two dogs over the last 6 months and both have gotten adopted!! I also have owner 3 dogs for a majority of my life as well as have had pet chinchillas, birds, hamsters, fish. I especially love big dogs! I am currently a student at the University of Michigan, so I have a lot of availability over the summer and breaks from school as well as time everyday in the afternoon and evening, and mornings on weekends. I live in a student apartment on campus, so I do not currently care for animals in my own home, however, I am very diligent about crating, closing fences and doors, as well as approaching animals in a calm manner.

“Patient and has a good vibe all around. Happy we went with her! We feel comfortable having her with our dog. He can be a lot but she doesn’t seem shy or uncomfortable being around him.”

About: Hi! I'm Thalia, a 20-year-old from Cuba and currently a Lake Forest College student living in Highland Park. I have extensive experience caring for animals. Since I was very little, I've always been surrounded by animals. Back in Cuba, my mom and I would rescue many cats and dogs, and we've always had at least five cats at home. I've also volunteered for over two years with animal shelters such as Orphans of the Storm, taking foster cats with medical needs home until they find their forever one. This experience, along with my intent to become a vet after college, makes me comfortable working with animals with medical needs and following care prescribed by doctors. This lifelong experience has made me very patient and responsible, with a deep understanding of the skills and commitment required to care for pets. I am dedicated to ensuring the well-being of your furry friends. Thank you for considering my profile. Please feel free to reach out to me for further discussion! I usually do dog walks in the afternoons, but I’m very open to homesitting and animal care at any time of the day! I provide overnight care as well. I provide excellent care for animals and my clients’ homes by treating them with the same love and respect I’d give my own. With over two years of experience as both a pet sitter and house sitter, I’ve developed a strong understanding of how to ensure pets are happy, safe, and well-cared for, whether it’s keeping up with their feeding schedules, engaging them with playtime, or making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. When it comes to homes, I pride myself on maintaining a clean and welcoming environment. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, from watering plants to collecting mail, and I always leave your space just as tidy (if not tidier!) than I found it. I’ve even worked with animals who have special needs, so I’m comfortable providing extra care and attention when required. I truly enjoy creating peace of mind for my clients, knowing their furry friends and homes are in good hands while they’re away.

“Faith was great and very flexible with the plans that kept changing. She took excellent care our pets.”

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.

“first time I used Rover and was pleasantly surprised by the care Caroline gave to my dog. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of my dog. Took him for nice walks and let me know how he was doing.”

“Haven did drop in visits for us when we left for the hospital to have a baby. Penny was well cared for and happy as a clam when we returned, and Haven was super flexible with us as babies tend to come on their own timelines! Thanks so much Haven for your help!”

About: My doggies taught me everything I know. They are no longer here - they went to doggy heaven and we miss them all the time. My teens and I have a lot love to give and want to share with your doggy. You can rest assured we would treat your doggy as if it were ours. Also, anything under 10.5 miles for more than 1 day I offer pick up and dropp off. I work from home and have a very tight routine in our home that will help your pet feel calm and secure. Since pets thrive on routine it will bring them peace and calmness. I can give extra walks when it's a nice day and make sure we stay active if need or relaxed and enjoying a lazy "dog day". I have a quiet, grassy backyard that gives dogs a calm place to sniff, stretch their legs, and enjoy fresh air. It's a low-stress space that's great for potty breaks and relaxed outdoor time. I'm very mindful of which dogs are a good fit for my space and always put safety and comfort first so that your pups feel happy and at ease while they're with me. Doggies are allowed on our beds and couches and even our bathrooms :) - we keep a light sense of humor

“Lindsay did a great job. She proactively offered to stop over to meet the dog in advance of taking care of her. She was timely and she sent pictures as requested. She also got along well with the dog. It was a great experience and I would definitely work with her in the future.”

“Faith has been so wonderful with our anxious rescue Stanley!! We appreciate her so much and are lucky to have found her!!”

About: Hello! I have been taking care of my dog (a French bulldog) since he was a puppy so I’m very familiar with the daily and weekly upkeep. I also have lots of experience with bigger dogs from taking care of my dad’s German Shepard. I love taking these pups on long walks in the park and going to the dog park. I also enjoy running so if your looking to get your dog some more intense physical activity I’d be happy to take them on a run. I’m currently a college student home for the summer! I have generally open availability throughout the week to care for your pets morning and night! I am very familiar with all kinds dogs and will have no problem dealing with younger dogs or those with less training. I completely respect client’s homes and have no problem cleaning up accidents made by the dogs and keeping up the care of dogs while the owner is away.
