Dog Sitting Lakemoor

“First time booking wirh Michelle. She lives in the same town, has all kinds of pets & loves cats. We scheduled a meet & greet to learn what the pets needed. I appreciated that very much. Michelle took fed & watered & took photos of my outdoor cats and also tried to have cuddle, offer affection & pet them time as booked, but cats werent used to her. I thanked her for trying. Good experience and very reliable.”

“I appreciated Sydneys prompt response to my initial inquiry and questions/messages. She was flexible on short notice to come to meet us and do a drop in the next day. Followed all instructions (in my way too long note), checked in, sent pictures and all was well with my pup on return. Sydney is nice, mature and trustworthy. She is just starting out on Rover so for just figuring all that out — she was great. Sometimes I look for a lot of reviews but glad I gave Sydney a try for sure. Don’t hesitate — I recommend Sydney and I’ll book with her again!”

About: We have been taking care of dogs ever since we were young and provide them love and care as if they were our own. For 9 years my husband and I had an amazing golden retriever together and he was part of the family. Get $20 off your booking! CLAIRM81379 We work from home so for care in our home we will always be with your pup. We require that your pup is friendly with kids. I have a fenced in yard to provide a safe area outside for your pup to play and can also provide daily walks. Pets are part of the family for us.

“Very reliable and punctual sitter. She took very good care of our pups while we were away and gave them lots of extra love and attention. I would highly recommend her”

About: Hello, I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. I have watched, played, fed and walked friends or neighbors animals. I love and care for any size animal. My family used to own a 200+ English mastiff. I work Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., so pet care is part of my routine before and after work. In the mornings, I feed, walk, and spend time with pets before leaving. After work, I take them for another walk, feed them if needed, play with them, and make sure they have plenty of attention. On weekends, I have more flexibility for feeding, longer walks or other activities. I have a fenced in yard and walking paths all around in my neighborhood. I also have an open field near by to play fetch.

About: I am the family pet and house sitter and have been for many many years. I’ve had pets my whole life: a yorkie/Pom, lab, border collie mix, cats. My boy fathead (I didn’t name him lol) is the black fluffy cat that was with me for 17 years, he had kidney failure and unfortunately he didn’t make it through. This is where my experience with IV’s really helped. We did daily IV meds, IV fluids etc. to try and save him. I’ve also had hamsters, ferrets, pups/elderly dogs, fish. I grew up going to my uncles farm with horses, chickens, ducks, goats, a donkey… you name it and I’ve taken care of them in some capacity!! I love them all! Feeding, giving treats, going for walks, or just hanging out in the yard or house… a girl couldn’t ask for a better day! I am a PE/Health teacher in the area. Help me help you feel at ease knowing your furry family members are happy, safe, loved, and comfortable while you enjoy whatever you need/want to do! I work Monday-Friday, 7:00am-2:30pm. I’m off on weekends, and holidays. So while I’m working during the week, I am not gone for long hours and am able to spend quite a bit of time with them or doing visits, whatever you may need! I’m able to stop in the morning before work and right after work if you need drop in visits. Let me know how I can help! :) I have many references that can back up my quality of care! They can tell you how much I will love them, and take care of them as my own. Making sure you come home to them healthy and happy is what it’s all about! EVERYONE deserves to trust and know that things are taken care of while they aren’t able to be there. They will be safe and well taken care of with me, whatever that looks like. If boarding with me, they are allowed on the furniture and bed to sleep comfortably with me if they choose to. While it is an apartment, there is plenty of room for them to play freely or just lounge. I will keep food and water down at all times (unless you follow a schedule for that). Potty breaks will be given as often as they may need! My home provides a very calm environment, unless it is time to play of course! They have free rein in the apartment while they are with me. Any special accommodations you need? Just let me know and we can make it work!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10-11 with having my two fur babies myself. I absolutely love to take care of dogs, I’d say I’d have the magic touch! I will always ensure your dog is well taken care of as well as staying alert for stress or odd behavior. I can follow any instructions to a T! Your pups care is my top priority! Im currently working part time while doing school so I got all the time for your babies! I’m mainly available during the days up until 1PM but on my off days I’m open all day and night ! Assuring that your pup is a-okay at all time, dog mom myself so I’m always alert. Making sure pup is entertained and taking potty breaks or walks as normal of course as well as making sure home is safe and clean !

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love caring for them! I’m experienced with different sizes and breeds, personalities, and making sure every pup feels happy. I’m available most weekdays for morning and evening visits, and have open availability on weekends. I keep my schedule flexible and do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible! Your dogs safety and comfort come first. I maintain a clean space, supervise closely, follow routines, and will send updates do you always feel confident!

About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care I provide. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with puppy training basics such as leash manners, crate training, and reinforcing house rules, as well as senior pet care including administering medication, mobility support, and extra patience for aging pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing consistent updates, plenty of affection, and dependable care you can truly trust. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around consistent feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins to ensure pets receive dependable care and attention. I’m flexible and organized, which allows me to accommodate special needs like medication schedules, training reinforcement, or extra time for senior pets. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it’s never rushed—it’s a priority. I provide attentive, personalized care whether pets are in my home or their own. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and medication if needed—so pets feel comfortable and secure in a familiar environment. I keep the home tidy and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.

“I want to give Rachel a special thanks for doing an awesome job taking care of my two dogs. She kept us informed with everything and we were able to enjoy our vacations without any worry. She followed our instructions and took pictures of the dogs while with them. We know our dogs were in good hands. Thanks again!”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 7 years old. I grew up on an acreage and we always had cats and dogs. I can administer shots and medication and have experience bottle feeding kittens and bunnies. I love animals and understand that each one is different and deserves love. I am patient and careful with each pet, giving them the attention they need and feel most comfortable with. I have a soft spot for senior animals. I am a teacher, so I am available all summer for your pet sitting needs! During the school year, I am only available on the weekends or after school check-ins. I will follow all directions and rules for taking care of your pet(s). Each one is special and I understand they all have their own needs. I am great at going with the flow with your pet and letting them lead the activity.

“Had a really great experience with Deidre. As a nervous cat mom, she put my mind at ease while I traveled and made sure my cat was well taken care of in my absence. Plan to use her moving forward on my trips if she’s available!”

“Kaylee is great to work with; I've had no issues with her all the visits she’s made to take care of my cats. She’s quick to respond and doesn’t miss any scheduled visits. I recommend her as your local pet sitter.”

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love being around them. I also went to dog grooming school and am certified in dog CPR, so I have experience safely handling all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from big energetic dogs to little ones and seniors who need some extra patience. I’ll always treat your dog like I would my own and make sure they’re safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention! I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I love being active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m happy to work around your pets normal schedule whenever possible. Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable is always my first priority. My training at Midwest School of Dog Grooming taught me proper handling and safety techniques for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also attended dog safety seminars and am dog CPR certified. I’ll respect your pets routine, your home, and any specific instructions you leave for me

About: I’m available for just about everything. I have multiple dogs so there is plenty of play time. I have had experience with dog training and internship under multiple trainers and different styles. I have worked as a vet tech for 4 years. I have crates for everyone and plenty of toys. Everyone has their own cubby where their stuff will be so we don’t lose anything. I’ve taken care of dogs with seizures diabetes and aggression there is no challenge I can’t handle. Each dog has their own tailored plan and pet parents will get a “report card” with a photo of their pups everyday, except during holidays it will be every other day. If you have any questions feel free to contact me :) I am a stay at home fur mom who enjoys helping others out with there own pups needs while they are away! We generally get up at 7am breakfast around 8am. Rest from 8-8:30 to prevent throw up! Then from 8:30am-6pm we are having fun which could be playing outside hanging in the house learning a new trick or going on a walk! 6:30pm is dinner time. Then rest again til 7pm then are doing the same thing as earlier til about 10pm when it’s bedtime! Pups are never outside alone I am always outside with them and will tailor the play groups to them weather that is no one or everyone I make the pups experience here is a happy one. I require all dogs in my care to have a collar with a tag of the owners info. When pups aren’t supervised they will be resting in there crate for safety. If we are on walks we are on a double leash system as one could always break!

“Autumn was wonderful and all four of our pups, even our shy one warmed up and felt comfortable around her immediately. Autumn was in regular communication and sent some great photos and feedback on all of our girls after her visit. We’ve never had anyone except family members care for our girls and felt at ease after meeting Autumn and thought she did a wonderful job. We plan to book boarding with her and some additional drop in visits as well. Very happy and would recommend.”

About: I've taken care of pets from as earliest as birth and into their elderly years, since I was 8. My family would occasionally breed our American Akitas. I've trained them, bathed them, cleaned up after them, and administered medications. They are a ton of work, but always worth the effort when we saw them finally meet their forever homes. I am available for whatever service you need, except for boarding, most days of the week except Thursdays after 2 pm, Fridays, and Saturdays before 2 pm. I am unable to care for your pet at my residence. We have 5 dogs here currently and I wouldn't want to overwhelm your pet with so many new faces. I am more than willing to be as accommodating as needed to care for them in your home, walking them, or simply letting out for a potty break.

“Michael is great - we have used him a couple of times. He is very responsive when communicating and our two dogs really like him (and they aren't the easiest of dogs to sit for. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”
