About: I’ve had animals my entire life and it’s truly my passion, everyone I know trusts me with their furrbabies! I’ve had dogs (great dane and boston terriers), cats, fish, tortoise, and a bearded dragon. I treat every pet like my own, i’m attentive and patient, and my main priority is making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable! I am a high schooler in online school, a month away from graduating. I also don’t currently have a job, so I am available daily! I prefer to work in the morning. I have plenty of experience with taking care of animals. During drop-in visits I will take care to follow all of your requests while making sure your pet feels safe and happy!

“Faith is fantastic. She is so attentive to detail and truly cares for animals. I am so grateful for her help this week on a last minute request. She is a life saver. Highly recommend!”

About: Throughout my childhood I have owned and raised dogs of all sizes. I also have experience with working at a barn where I gained hands-on experience with daily animal care routines and ensuring the well-being of many animals including cats. I genuinely love all animals and enjoy taking care of them. I am a college student returning home for the summer and I’m planning to make pet care my full-time focus. I have a very flexible schedule and can be available most days and times. I’m responsible, reliable and committed to making this my top priority. You can count on me to be consistent and dependable when caring for your dog. At home I have three large dogs and a fenced in backyard for my high-energy dogs. My dogs are fed twice a day and receive daily vitamins and medications with their meals.

“Sam is an amazing pet sitter! One of my two cats is shy but started warming up to Sam in just one visit. Sam played with them, took time to learn their little quirks and gave them individual attention. I got pictures and updates after every visit. I will certainly hire her again and again. Thank you, Sam!”

“Declan was a great sitter! Look forward to working with him in the future. Would highly recommend him and what he offers your animals. It is hard to find someone as good as him, and we are lucky to have him!”

About: I've taken care of a variety of cats and dogs from young to old. I've pet sit for several friends and neighbors. I enjoy playing and walking dogs. I'm a teacher so I get home pretty early in the afternoon. I have several days off throughout the year, including holidays. I'll be home on summer break starting May 29, 2026. I don't have any pets so your pet will get all my love and attention. I live in a beautiful neighborhood to take walks. My house has plenty of room for your pet to run around and play.

About: I am a lifelong dog parent, with over 4 decades of experience with many different breeds; ranging from Terriers to Labs, Shepherds, Huskys, Bully Breeds, Hounds, Herding dogs, Sporting and Working breeds, Toy groups, and many mixed breeds. I am home nearly around the clock, and committed full time to giving great care and attention to my highly -valued dog guests. I have spent decades frequenting the lake county dog parks; studying their behaviors and interactions with other dogs and with people, which has been an invaluable learning experience for me. I have a very laid back and easy-going approach and style that I have had great success with in relating to and connecting with dogs and their pet parents. I am very tuned in to their body language, and very adept at reading their emotions. My home is on a 1/2 acre fenced in wooded lot with a cabin like interior and country atmosphere that is both welcoming , safe, and fun for my dog guests, and I make it a top priority to treat your dogs like family. I also have lake access with a private beach if your dog(s) like to swim. I frequent the lake county dog parks and would love to take your dogs along if that is something you are comfortable with. I am very flexible - and typically available 7 days per week. I am available nights, weekends, and holidays. Ideally allow for two days advance notice. Safety is my top priority. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in lot, and a very warm and comfortable dog friendly home, that was once a summer cottage close to Round Lake. I am on a quiet dead end road which is very safe for walks, as well as freedom to roam the yard. My goal is to customize my services to meet your dogs needs, whatever they may be. I will treat your pets as I do my own- like family- lots of fun, exercise and plenty of TLC.

About: I am a CNA currently attending nursing school, and caring for others is something I truly enjoy. I currently work with seniors both in healthcare settings and in clients’ homes, where patience, kindness, and reliability are essential. As a pet owner myself with two dogs and and three cats, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. I will treat your pets with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. As a CNA and nursing student, I have experience balancing a busy schedule while providing dependable care. I currently work part time so, my availability varies by week, but I make pet care a priority and will always communicate clearly about scheduling. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I will make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs almost my whole life! My personal pet care background is incredibly diverse. I currently manage a lively three-cat household with my sweet cuddle bug Lillie, and my sister’s rambunctious and silly littermate brothers, Scout and Sawyer. I am also the proud owner of a childhood calico named Luna, and a Shepherd/golden mix, Osa. Because Osa is a high-energy, reactive dog, I learned a lot from her and personally worked on training her. Additionally, I have experience with senior pets. I lovingly cared for my late childhood dog, Sisi, which included managing her daily medications. I have also administered short-term medications to cats. I specialize exclusively in house sitting at your home, drop-in visits, and neighborhood dog walks. I look forward to giving your pets the absolute best care! :) My schedule is very flexible this summer, which makes it easy to stick to whatever daily routine your pets are used to. Whether they need a mid-day drop-in visit, a walk, or someone to stay overnight to keep them company, I can easily accommodate their regular timing. Since I will be caring for your pets in your home, my main priority is keeping their environment safe and consistent. I am highly attentive to details like securing doors and gates, keeping dogs properly leashed during walks, and following your specific household instructions. I always send regular photo updates and check-ins so you have full peace of mind while you are away.

Our two friendly dogs are eager to welcome new friends, creating a happy, social environment. We live in a split-level home, which provides the flexibility to separate pets easily if your dog needs some quiet time or space.

About: I have had 5 family dogs in my life, 1 of which is my dog, personally trained her. And my job throughout high school was dog sitting & dog walking! I am currently working part-time, only 5 minutes from home. My schedule varies weekly but I will always schedule dog visits or boardings when the pup will get my 100% attention. I have a fenced yard & an amazing roommate. We both love dogs and would absolutely love to have your dog join our little sanctuary for any time needed.

“I booked Sabrina at the last minute and she took great care of Bella. This was my first time having someone come to my home to do drop-in visits as Bella normally does boarding with her usual sitter so, I was very apprehensive about it. Sabrina was very consistent with giving updates and taking Bella on walks. I recommend booking her.”
