Dog Sitting Lake Zurich

“We were so lucky to find Kaitlyn! She responded quickly and was able to take on the job with very short notice, which we really appreciated. From the start, her communication was incredible—she sent detailed updates every visit along with adorable photos and videos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Not only did she take great care of our cats, but she also went above and beyond by bringing in our packages and even cleaning up without us asking. It’s rare to find someone so thoughtful and thorough. We’ll absolutely be using Kaitlyn again and couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I've had a lifelong love for dogs and over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for my own three dogs. A Rescue, Stray and Husky. I enjoy running with dogs, so please let me know if you have a runner! Im currently working full time and I am missing the relationship with my pets. I am available every evening and all weekend to take care of your pets! I am extremely aware and attentive to pets as I know from experience the mischievous acts they can commit. Of course this will vary depending on your pets personality!

“Krystal is absolutely fantastic! She is so great with our cats and puts our mind at ease when we have to go out of town. One of our cats is less friendly & we’ve struggled to find the right sitter for him, but Krystal has won his heart & we’re so thankful. If you need someone to trust with your furry friends, Krystal should be your go to!”

About: Ive worked with all ages, sizes, and breeds. I’ve worked with fearful and shy dogs, aggressive dogs, and 10/10 good dogs. I’ve fostered numerous dogs as well as medical cases. I am well versed in dispensing medication if needed. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals have always been a big part of my life. I’m used to balancing responsibilities while making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or extra cuddles, I’m happy to make pet care a priority in my day! I like to discuss the animals needs and personality with the owner prior to meeting them to make the pet more comfortable. I care for every animal the same, like they are my own.

About: Being around animals makes me happy! My volunteer trainings and the past experiences of being around animals and genuine patience and empathy can give the best care to your fur babies that come my way. I have volunteered with local animal rescues since 2007, and am currently on the board of a small NY based rescue. I am a cat lady at heart but adore all animals! As a flight attendant and have been flying professionally since 1997, I know the anxious feeling of being away from my fur babies and missing them so so well (longest period was a month) where the only thing that gave me solace were the numerous pictures and descriptive texts from my sitter. I would like to provide that comfort for you when you are away from them. Please contact me whenever you need someone punctual and reliable, and enjoy giving updates to the pawrents to ease their heart! Pet care is my daily life. I do not have a problem at all making the life about the fur babies because it is. It's true that I work to give them a better life! Just by being loving and trying to give them what they need at the time they ask for it! Also for the owners I will give as many pictures and update texts as they want (because for me, it was more the better when I was on the road). Being safe and having trust is the very base of what I represent and that is nonnegotiable.

“Samantha was thoughtful and thorough! She did a great job and messaged me with helpful updates and pictures of my fur babies. I would def use her again!”

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by puppies, kittens, and all kinds of animals. I was there when my first dog gave birth and helped raise the puppies, learning how to train them along the way. This past year, I’ve cared for my senior dog when she had trouble walking and caregiving. I’ve also had the pleasure of walking and caring for dogs of all sizes for several families. With my lifelong experience with dogs and cats, I know exactly how to make sure your pet gets the best care! I currently have two dogs of my own and absolutely love spending time with them!! They are my babies I am available for pet care during the evenings and early mornings, and I’m also available on weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) for dog walks or weekend dog sitting. I take care of pets in a cozy, safe space. I make sure they get their walks, playtime, and plenty of love. I stick to their feeding schedule and keep things clean—making sure they have their favorite toys around and giving them the love and attention that they need! When I’m at your place, I follow your pet’s routine to keep things as normal as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I’ll also make sure the place stays clean and tidy, and your pet gets all the attention they need while you’re away!

“It was a crazy day for Chewy and I she came in and rescued the day. It was Kristen’s first time and she made everything work last minute. Already booked her for Saturday”

About: I have been born and raised taking care of dogs and having them in my family. I was raised with a Border Collie mix named Misty. Then, for 15 years I had a Labradoodle named Ferbie. He was a precious soul and wonderful playmate. I love to entertain and keep active/playful with all the pups I have the blessing of watching. I attend to rules and respect all wishes. I work part time at the moment so I have flexibility throughout my days to take breaks. I also work remotely so I have the ability to travel around the suburbs. I follow all household procedures. I think safety is the biggest priority and it is crucial for pet sitting. The space and animal(s) must always be kept safe and prioritized first in every situation.

“Deidre is an awesome cat sitter. Our kitty Edison ("MiMi") was hiding from her during first few visits. We were thinking Edison and Deidre might never meet face to face during the 10-day drop-in visits. They ran into each other on day 4, but still kept some distance. The next day they became best friends. 😍 Thank you, Deidre for taking good care of MiMi!”

By using kind words, following Your routine guidelines, and snuggling. While working together to create their best experience.

“Alex did amazing job at taking care of my pet chinchilla!! She spent time playing with him and made sure my chinchilla’s cage was stock up in fresh hay, food, water and toys. 😊”

About: I am 34 years old and I own two dogs. A golden retriever and a Texas heeler. I have owned dogs my whole life and have been a dog sitter since my early teens. I dog sit frequently including overnight in your home or my home and extended care or just daily walks! I am a stay at home mom with open availability! I’m also a super early riser and am available for early morning walks as well! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. I am an active person and enjoy getting outside and exercising. Your pet will enjoy their time outside with me!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds — playful pups, mellow seniors, and everything in between. My experience started with helping my sister care for her dogs, and over the years, I’ve walked, fed, and looked after dogs for friends, neighbors, and family. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. I have a quiet home and a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely explore, relax, and enjoy the fresh air. With me, your dog will be loved, understood, and truly cared for — just like they deserve. I mostly work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup throughout the day. I’m available for daytime check-ins, boarding, and doggy stays at my place. I can also pick up and drop off your dog if needed — making things easier for you. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a cozy place to stay while you’re away, I’m here and happy to help. I offer a calm and loving environment with a fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and relax. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they need space or lots of cuddles. I can easily crate your dog if that’s part of their routine. My goal is always to make your dog feel secure, understood, and cared for — just like they would at home.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience with almost every kind of pet personality out there. Professionally, I worked as a sales representative at Petland, where I was directly responsible for matching families with ideal animal companions and managing high-touch customer interactions daily. This role gave me hands-on, daily experience caring for, socializing, and handling young puppies, so I am incredibly comfortable with puppy energy and strict feeding routines. Beyond my professional background, I grew up with a family Beagle, and as a kid, I was the neighborhood dog walker for an American Bulldog. More recently, I’ve spent plenty of time helping a close friend look after his Australian Shepherd and Aussie mix, so I know exactly what it takes to keep up with highly active, intelligent, and working dog breeds. I’ve also owned fish, a frog, snails and lizards in the past, so I’m comfortable with specialized setups too. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt completely to whatever your pet needs. Whether you have a high-energy dog that needs a solid workout to burn off steam, a young puppy working on routines, or an older dog who prefers a quiet, relaxed neighborhood stroll, I am patient, intuitive, and dedicated. I treat every animal with the same care, respect, and safety that I give my own family pets. My current work schedule gives me a great deal of independence and flexibility throughout the week. Because I manage my own day-to-day shifts rather than a traditional desk job, I can easily plan my hours around your pet's specific needs. Whether that means stopping by for early morning check-ins, taking long mid-day walks, or providing dedicated house-sitting coverage, I build my routine around ensuring total consistency. Your pet won't have to wait around for their normal feeding times, potty breaks, or exercise. Keeping your pet safe and comfortable is my absolute top priority. When I'm caring for a pet in your home, I treat your space with total respect and keep things clean and secure. I’m very vigilant about the little details; making sure doors and gates are securely latched, keeping potential hazards completely out of reach, and following your specific house rules to the letter. When we’re out on walks, I keep a close eye on the surroundings, maintain a firm grip on the leash, and avoid unpredictable situations with other strange animals. I'm also big on communication, so I’ll always send you quick text updates and photo check-ins so you can relax knowing they are safe and having a great time.

About: My passion is taking care of animals. I've always had animals in my house growing up and currently still have a house full. I understand each animal has their own identity and quirks. I currently have a wide range of animals from 2 cats and a dog to multiple reptiles! I have an extremely flexible schedule which will allow me to be there to help with any pet care need that may arise through our the day or week. I will follow any direction of home care for you pet while you are away. I only want to keep your pet as stress free as possible.

“This is not my first time booking with Andrea , and she’s always great! She’s reliable, caring, and takes great care of benji. I always feel comfortable leaving him with her. Highly recommend!”

The needs vary from dog to dog but I love taking them on Long walks, playing with toys, brushing if needed, and lots of love
