Dog Sitting in Lockport

About: I’ve had a lifetime of experience with all sorts of animals. My mom is a vet and animal lover, and as a result I have grown up around many types of animals like dogs and cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, parrots, and more. I am also a huge animal lover, and will happily care for your pets, making sure they get plenty of love and attention! I work part time, shorter shifts 5 days a week, so I’m rarely available in the mornings except for Thursdays, when I’m always available! I’m happy to help take care of your fur babies, and I’ll always do my best to fit it in with my schedule and your own. Care and safety will always come first for me. I will make sure to meet your needs as well as your animal’s needs, all while ensuring safety and happiness by any means possible!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and my very first job was walking around my neighborhood asking people if I could walk their dogs. I genuinely love the company of dogs and treat animals with the same level of care, patience, and attention you would give a family member. I’ve grown up around Boxers my whole life, but I also love small dogs and have always adored larger breeds like Mastiffs and Rottweilers. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I currently work part-time as a server, so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. This gives me plenty of time to dedicate to walks, drop-ins, playtime, and making sure your pets get the attention and consistency they deserve. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and try my best to accommodate different schedules whenever possible. I treat every pet with patience, attention, and care because I truly believe animals deserve to be treated like family. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, leash safety, behavior, and any special needs your pet may have so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Kat is AWESOME! If you need a dog person, definitely use Kat. She is the best! We recently relocated to the area and need a dog sitter. I interviewed several people and Kat was hands down the best!”

“This was my first time using this app and I am very happy that me and my wife chose Samantha! We have a diabetic cat, so one of the criterias that we were looking for was medicine injections, that's why we chose Samantha to come to drop-in visits two times a day- morning and evening. We couldn't be more right by choosing her! She went on and beyond, she was very patient with Lelouch, it took him around 4-5 days to warm up to her, but all this time Samantha was able to give his insulin shots anyways! She updated us every visit and responded to us quickly. We would definitely request Samantha to help us again with Lelouch in the future!”

About: I love animals and have had pets since I was 3 years old. I grew up with 2 cats, but always loved my friend’s dogs. My family got a puppy 5 years ago and I discovered the joy of taking care of a dog. I enjoy playing, walking, and building a relationship with every dog I meet. I work in a school so before or after school works well for me. I have a lot of availability during school/holiday breaks including summer. In the summer, I work until noon so I have lots of time to see some lovely pets I respect my client’s home and try to make the animal feel as safe as possible in their own home. I make sure they have exactly what they need and are happy and taken care of while away from their people.

“We felt so good knowing Olive was in Art's hands while we were away. His friendliness and knowledge made Olive feel comfortable while we were gone. Art kept in touch with us and sent us pictures after having some great play time. We will definitely use Art again.”

About: I’ve taken care of senior dogs who had trouble seeing and walking, cleaned up after them, and handled puppies as young as 1 week old. I’ve worked with dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, so no pet is too small or too big for me. I work part time so my availability changes week to week depending on my shifts, but I always know my schedule in advance so I’ll be upfront with you about when I’m available before we book anything. Pet care is something I take seriously so I make sure I’m not overcommitting if I say I’m available, I mean it. On days I’m not working I’m pretty much free for most of the day. Morning and evening availability is usually the most consistent for me regardless of whether I have a shift. I’ll always communicate with you ahead of time if anything changes and I’m not the type to leave you hanging last minute. I care for my own cat Simba daily, keeping him engaged and comfortable, the same attention and energy I’ll bring to your pet. In your home I’ll handle feeding, playtime, cleaning up any messes, and anything else your pet needs.

“Ashley was awesome! She took really good care of our dog and two cats while we were out of town for our wedding. We will definitely use her again! She sent lots of pictures and communicated everything. Great job Ashley!”

About: Dogs have always been my passion. Whether they are a close friends, a neighbor, or family, I have always had a love for all dogs. I work from home, so I have a ton of free time to look over your fur babies and give them the love and attention they deserve! I live in a spacious, but comfortable home with a fenced off yard for as many zoomies as the heart pleases. A large walking trail leading to a dog park is also available. Since I am always home, I can ensure your pet will be well loved here.

“Taco had a great time with Lilly!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and love taking my own on walks and throwing a toy around in the yard! Love meeting new dogs! I am able to provide care to your dog any way that you want! I am available for early morning walks, potty breaks or to play, or to simply spend time with your dog at any time during the day! I will want to meet with you to learn you and your dogs typical routine for play, potty breaks, and walks to ensure your dog is most comfortable and stick to that! I want your dog to stay happy and stress-free while you’re gone.

“Lynette is amazing! She looked after my two cats and while I was away, she stayed in touch, took fun pictures of my two fur babies and kept me updated on how they were doing. I usually stress and worry when I’m away but with Lynette I just felt very comfortable and confident my babies were being taken care of. She’s very trustworthy and reliable, and I’d recommend her to anyone! Thanks Lynette!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for 18 years, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I owned a successful pet sitting business in Texas for 7 years before returning home to Palatine. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their fur babies for walks, feeding, medication administration, and overnight care. I treat every pet like my own and send regular photo updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I’m available for dog walking on weekdays (mornings and afternoons), boarding on weekends, and weekday evening drop-in visits. I can accommodate last-minute requests when possible and am happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need daily walks, vacation care, or regular check-ins, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention and exercise they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. For boarding, I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can play safely, and my two friendly, well-socialized dogs provide great companionship for social pups. If your dog prefers alone time or needs to be the only dog, I can easily accommodate that with separate spaces and one-on-one attention. For in-home visits at your place, I follow your house rules exactly, keep doors/gates secured, and never allow pets outside off-leash unless you’ve specifically requested it. I’m experienced with crate training, feeding schedules, and medication administration. I always send photo/video updates so you have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe and happy. I live in Palatine with my grandmother in a pet-friendly home where your pet will be treated like family.
