About: I am moving back to Lake Villa for the summer from Boston. I am looking to make extra money. I have experience giving medicine to dogs (my dog has Addison disease). I am comfortable taking care of dogs of any size. My dog is a year and a half old and is 70 pounds. I love taking dogs on walks. I am more than comfortable staying at a house to care for your dog or do drop ins. I am a reliable, responsible, respectful and committed person who would take care of your dog the best. I have been watching dogs since I was in high school. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your dog when you need me too. I'm currently on summer break from my full-time job. I am flexible most days and open most weekends as well. My weeks are wide open for the most part I do nanny as well.

Plenty of playtime and mental stimulation. I love using puzzle toys, snuffles and other things to get a dogs mind working!

About: I love caring for all types of dogs. I have experience with large, medium and small, dog sitting for family, friends and neighbors. I enjoy walking, playing, and spending quality time with each dog while being attentive to their daily routines. I create a calm, positive experience and ensure every dog receives the activity, structure, and companionship they need. I am semi-retired and have a flexible schedule, having the ability to work around your pet's weekday and/or weekend schedule. I can simply drop in for feedings, or stay and play. I have experience administering medicine as well. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, medications, and daily care, and I pay close attention to behavior and well-being. I keep your home secure during each visit and always ensure doors, gates, and entry points are safely closed.

About: I truly take care of pets, being responsible and careful. I have had pets with disabilities, very old, and I have given them medicine orally, and topically and changed the bandages, as well as fed with my palm for very old and blind ones. I currently work part time and mostly available to take care of pets. My schedule is flexible for boarding on and off, as well as weekends I live in a single house with fenced backyard. I am available for taking care of your loved ones and have a nice place in my house for them❤️. It is clean and cozy.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life, I grew up with them in the house for as long as I can remember and have cared for a wide variety of breeds over the years. I’ve naturally become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family because I’m reliable, responsible, and truly enjoy making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for. I currently have three dogs of my own: a German Shorthaired Pointer mix, a Sheepadoodle, and a Basset Hound puppy. Caring for them has given me hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, energy levels, and training needs. I’ve worked on puppy training, on- and off-leash training, basic obedience, and even fun activities like frisbee work. I believe dogs are family, and I treat every pet I care for with that same level of love, patience, and attention. I take pride in being dependable and keeping owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and included while they’re in my care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care. I am a teacher and only work very part-time hours during the summer, Monday–Thursday, so I have plenty of time before and after work for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. My schedule allows me to be home often and provide consistent care, attention, and supervision throughout the week. I provide pet care with safety, trust, and comfort as my top priorities. During in-home visits, I follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs (if applicable), exercise, and any special preferences. I make sure pets have a safe, calm environment while providing attention, playtime, and companionship. For walks, I focus on keeping pets secure with proper leash handling, being aware of the surroundings, and adjusting the pace and activity level to each pet’s needs. I treat every home and pet with respect, communicate updates with owners, and make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while they are in my care.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was about 5 years old. And that was when I received my first pet, a chihuahua mix. I’ve cared for her since she was a puppy and she just recently passed away due to old age. I have the patience to deal with puppies and elder dogs! I love them all! I’m currently working part time at a restaurant so I have some down time! I’m available mostly in the afternoons from 2pm - 8pm. I care for every pet as if they were my own by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. In a client's home, I follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection.

“Malachi was great with my pup (that is the important thing) and very eager to provide me with great service. I would recommend him to anyone. We had a few technical glitches, and there are a few thoughts I think I will share with him privately, but those don’t lower his star rating because he really did provide great service. He was very communicative, respected my property, and took great care of of my dog. You should book him and see for yourself.”

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life and being the oldest child I was always had the most responsibilities when caring for our animals. I currently have one cat and also have experience caring for some reptiles, small animals, and fish. I have previously dog sat for my former manager for 3 weeks. During this stay, her dog needed a few types of medication daily which I was able to correctly administer despite her dog being rather large and headstrong. Several coworkers have also trusted me to care for their animals while they were away or out of town. I do as much as I can to ensure my animals have the best life they can and I will make sure I do the same thing for yours. I just moved to the area and don’t start my job for another month. I have all the time to do whatever you need for your pet! If your pet need to come to me, my apartment complex has a large open space outdoors. They will have plenty of space to run around :)

“Gyula walks my two Labs regularly, and I highly recommend him for your dog's needs. He has years of experience working with all types of dogs and has the skills to manage them competently and with a great attitude. Gyula is prompt, attentive to the dogs at all times, and naturally works with them as he's walking them, which has improved both of my dogs leash manners. If you need someone to take care of your dog, I'm confident you and your dog will be happy with the services Gyula provides.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was eight years old. I had my own dog at this age until I turned 20 years old. I have also taken care of my friends dogs, or cats. This has made me be comfortable with feeding, walking, taking care of animals. I am reliable, timely, and really do love animals. I know animals are family and I will make sure to treat your animal with care and kindness. I have lots of time to be able to look after your animals. As of right now I am available Monday through Friday 9am - 9pm. My weekends fluctuate, so some weekends I may be available others I may not be, but I am very flexible. If you need a day on a weekend I am open to the conversation. I care for pet's by the instructions of the owner leaves. Also making sure that the pet is in a safe environment, this being when we go for walks, always making sure the pets leash is secure and being aware of my surroundings. I also will make sure your animal gets all the attention, and care they need.
