Dog Sitting in Lake Forest

“Mary is a cousin of mine, and she is my go-to when it comes to watching or walking my sweet Oliver. Oliver is extremely high energy and can be pretty high maintenance. But that doesn't phase Mary one bit! She is dependable, especially when I have last-minute travel plans.”

“We appreciate for her smart n responsible work-! Thank you-!!”

“Chelsea always does a great job taking care of my cat, and he likes her. She plays with him and gives him lots of belly rubs! I highly recommend Chelsea.”

“Natalia is a very experienced dog handler and works for a veterinarian. You cannot expect any higher quality of service. Plus, she is a very nice person.”

“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!”

“Paige was absolutely fantastic! She treated my pup with so much love I feel like he was a little disappointed when I walked in instead of her ? I will definitely be using her services in the future!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life as well as watched houses and dogs for neighbors and family friends multiple times in the past. I am very comfortable taking care of someone else's home and animals! I will be working a full-time 9-5 job, off on the weekends. I will be busy during the day but fully attentive after and on the weekends. I will be working in the community and easily accessible if need be as well. I am comfortable with all kind of pet care and keep a very clean home. I am very conscious of the needs of an animal as well as caring for the home.

“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.”

“Followed instructions left perfectly for our little pup!”

About: I absolutely love pet sitting and caring for both cats and dogs! Spending time with animals brings me so much joy, whether it’s cuddling with a cat or playing with a dog. Walking dogs is especially fun—I enjoy their energy and excitement while ensuring they get great exercise! I am working part time so I am free and available to care for your pets after 2pm Thursday - Sunday! I look forward to helping to care for your beloved animal. I believe pets thrive best in the environment they know and trust, so I provide care that keeps them comfortable and stress-free. I pay close attention to their needs, respect their boundaries, and take the time to earn their trust. I engage with each pet in the way that suits them best—whether it’s rigorous play for energetic pets or gentle reassurance for those who need a calmer approach—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

“Chantelle was such a joy to have caring for our Cane Corso. She genuinely followed all the directions we provided and really paid attention to the details, which made us feel at ease knowing our pet was in good hands.”

“Alyson has two pets of her own, an axolotl and a dog! One of which she keeps in a dorm. Never have I seen a college student take such immaculate care of a pet in a dorm especially since axolotls are notoriously hard to care for and require extra care. She is very responsible and thoughtful when it comes to taking care of her own pets, I know this would extend to other people’s pets as well”

“Nathaly is an extremely attentive caregiver that has personally cared for my cat on multiple occasions. They've made sure she's properly fed on days when they have to work, when she's outside they stay at the house until she's back in, and they're always available to provide updates on how things are going - I would highly recommend their services!”

“Samantha M. is an incredibly thoughtful and loving dog owner herself, and I cannot imagine her being anything but an amazing pet caregiver. She has had assorted pets- cats, hamsters, and dogs- her entire life. And all have benefited from her responsible and careful feeding and affection. She is a great owner of Arlo right now. But she loved and cared for Ginger the cat, Ginger the dog, Beau, Chester and Minou the cats. All very attached to her for their entire lives. I would trust her to take care of any home as well as any pets, as she is careful and honest and extremely well organized. She’s lovely. Marilyn M.”

About: Grew up in multi dog household. Have had multiple dogs in the home for 30+ years. Already care for multiple dog families during the week, and that’s because I love dogs. Personally, I can’t bare the idea of raising, nurturing and then losing another best friend, so I value every opportunity I get with a K9. I currently work remote and as a wrestling coach, which allows me the freedom to care for multiple dogs every week. It’s what I love. Forest and field plus neighborhood pond which allows for a natural place to play and have fun. When at a client home, we stick to the rules of the neighborhood, like walking with a leash. Dogs love me and I am great with large and small breeds.

About: I am a service dog handler so I have had 3 years of experience training dogs from puppyhood up to their adult life! My dogs are always cared for and loved and there is no reason that your pet cant be either! I am a college student and I am currently on summer break until late August so I am available every day of the week until then! I will always make sure that your pet(s) are provided the physical/mental stimulation that they need! After anything exerting, there will be a potty break, some water, and a nice nap :) I will stay outside/inside and play with your pet(s) for as long as it is needed for them to exercise! I will also keep track of their meals and make sure they are fed the correct amount at their usual time so that they stick to the routine that you have established with them!

About: I've dog-sat for friends and locals who leave for work trips. I take dogs out on walks in between classes, can stay overnight, and am always careful about diets, walks, bathroom breaks, and making them feel loved. I'm currently a college student and work remotely throughout the week, so any time that I work, I'm available to be in-home watching your pet, or taking them out on bathroom breaks when needed. I have a car and would be on campus for classes and meetings. My job is heavily involved with events, so throughout the semester, there are days when I am unavailable for large blocks (usually on weekends), but they are mostly established in advance early in the semester. I would treat your pet how I would treat my own. I would never allow my pets to be in a dangerous situation and am always for taking extra precautions and being safe rather than sorry. I would rather stay extra long to ensure they go to the bathroom than have an accident in the house. I take into account emergency escape plans, allergies, crating rules, psychological boundaries (especially about other animals, anxieties, etc.) and maintain as much communication throughout my care as you desire.

“Noemi was quick to respond and act upon a very last minute request to feed/let out my 3 dogs. She was very prompt and thorough in her care. Will def use her again when the need arises.”

“Julie T. has taken care of my pets for over 20 years. She is loving, dependable and hyper vigilant about their care and well being. My dog loves her and looks forward to her walks and sleep overs. I highly recommend her.”

“Alix has been around animals her entire life. She has always been a compassionate and caring pet owner. When unable to have pets of her own during college and first establishing her place after graduation, she volunteered to help take care of friends and co-workers pets. I would highly recommend her as a dog caregiver as she will love and attend to it as her own.”
