Cat Sitting Lily Lake

“Sarah has been helping us with our sweet and timid rescue for a few weeks now and we absolutely love her!! Our dog Stanley is anxious, but from the first day he met Sarah he has warmed up to her and done incredibly well. It’s a huge relief knowing he’s safe and in good hands when she stops by for drop in walks!”

“I can see why Erika has a perfect rating. I had to leave my new 3-month old puppy (that I just adopted) for the first time as I had to go to work and I was extremely nervous, but Erika put me at ease immediately. She sent so many pictures and a detailed description of the entire visit. I felt so much better knowing my pup had some stretches, cuddles, & outside time while I was away. Just knowing someone checked in on her meant everything. She even threw in a few recommendations which I very much appreciate as a first-time puppy owner. My pup seemed to be very comfortable with her.”

“Doreen was wonderful! She was always prompt with her drop-in visits and made sure to keep me updated on how my fur baby was doing while I was away. Highly recommend her services! I had great peace of mind while traveling knowing my pet was in good care :)”

“Amy is the best! She has always been so flexible, and is our go-to person for drop ins when we’ll be away from the house for the day. I know she loves our pups like her own!!”

About: I know how important my dog's well-being and daily routine is to me, and I would love to help keep your dog in their routine! I have experience caring for and training dogs of all types, and will cater to senior dogs, medical needs, or special needs such as sensitive, selective, or reactive dogs. In my spare time I volunteer with my therapy dog Reese, and have experience fostering and training dogs using positive reinforcement. I know how hard it is to be away from your pet but I can assure a safe and successful walk, sit, or stay! I am a teacher, and currently available full time for animal care! Available on weekdays, for stop-ins during the work day, or over holiday weekends. In your home, I can offer lots of your dog's favorite exercise for every season. Depending on their activity level, we can take walks, runs, or just breaks/sniffs. I always clean up after dogs and demonstrate responsible dog ownership in your neighborhood! For stays at my house: the yard is huge, and backs to forest preserve property and pond, but the yard is unfenced so I am diligent about leashes.

“Evelyn stepped up to provide care for my two cats last minute. She was great with them both. I appreciate her constant communication and check-ins with pictures. Will definitely try to book her next time I’m needing someone to look after my animals!”

Kinsey F.

“Stephanie was great! We have two crazy dogs with a lot of energy so it was great that Stephanie was so flexible with her schedule so the dogs weren't cooped up in the house all day. She fed them and let them run around in the yard. I will definitely have her come by again in the future!”

“Colin is amazing! My pups love his visits. He does a great job keeping me updated and makes sure my boys have everything they need. We’re lucky to have him!”

Kevin N.

“Scott took amazing care of my girl who needs extra help getting around. He was very attentive and sent detailed updates along with photos after each drop-in. My dog had a lot of fun with Scott and she seemed very comfortable and relaxed around him. Highly recommend him!”

“Rachel helped take care of my puppy until she was old enough for puppy daycare. Rachel was dependable and took very good care of our pup!”

About: I have had pets all of my life, both cats and dogs. I have worked at an animal shelter for three years where I took dogs out for daily walks, gave them enrichment and lots of love and patience. I would love to get to know your dog and find out how to give them the best days possible! I am also very prepared to clean any messes that may occur and make sure that your dog remains safe while we play. I am a part-time college student so I have a few assignments to take care of weekly. I have no other job at this time so school is my only commitment this summer. I always check to ensure that any harmful materials anywhere the animals can reach them. I regularly monitor various toys that are out and ensure that they are not being eaten and playtime is always monitored.

“John did a great job. He was always on time and obviously loves dogs. I felt comfortable with him watching my dog when I was away”

Vicky D.

“Don is the best! He is very responsive and SO good with our dogs. It is a pleasure working with him. Our dogs are happy and better off the Don helping us out.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them is a joy. Whether it's playtime, peaceful walks, or simply being a comforting presence, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet like family and will make sure yours is loved and looked after just like my own. As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility and availability to give your pet the attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday potty break, playtime in the yard, or simply having a consistent presence nearby. Because I’m home during the day, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches of time. I’m able to keep a close eye on their needs, maintain their routines, and provide lots of love, attention, and cuddles. I have a large yard and outdoor area that’s perfect for running, playing, and getting all that energy out in a safe and secure space. Whether your dog loves to explore or prefers to lounge in the sun, there's plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. If your pet needs downtime or a quieter environment, I also have comfortable, confined indoor areas where they can relax and feel secure. I'm happy to accommodate different energy levels and personalities.

“Lovely visit! Our dog was so happy and loves all the attention, play and back scratches! Definitely would recommend. Reliable communicator and thoughtful care giver!”

“Lizzie was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover, and Lizzie made everything easy and comfortable. The thorough and reliable daily updates (with photos) helped ease our minds while we were away - we knew our cat was in good hands. Great communication, quick to reply, followed our instructions without issues, just all around perfect. We will book with her again! Thank you!”

“Amazing and our puppy loved her too!”
