House Sitting in McHenry

“Rachel was amazing, she paid great attention to Sally and sent pictures to us everyday.”

Brent H.

“Love having Jordyn watch Tito and Tazi. She is so great with communication. I always know the dogs are well taken care of. Thanks so much Jordyn!!!”

Amanda G.

“Antonie was great watching our two doggos in our home for 10 days. She was very communicative throughout the week that we were gone and made sure to send us pictures as well! Our home was kept neat and tidy, just how we left it. Our doggos seemed very happy, well fed, and loved. I would highly recommend her services and we will be using her services again!”

Taryn S.

“Awesome service! She arrived a few minutes early and took right to our dog Harrison. So thankful she could sit so we could attend a family wedding. Very pleased and would rebook again. A+ job. Kept us updated and sent pics ? Big thanks!!!”

Dave B.

“Ashlee was so great! She stayed at our house for a few nights and pup sitted our 2 pups. She was great at communicating and sending us updates! She was respectful of our house and cleaned up after herself. We really liked her and so did the pups!”

Michelle C.

“Gretchen was great! She kept us updated frequently and sent many pictures of our dogs throughout the stay. She took great care of them and they were very happy. This was the first time we left them with someone other than friends or family and Gretchen really made us feel comfortable and eased our minds.”

Brooke G.

“Mark was awesome. Miss Molly got lots of walks & apparently behaved herself. My house was spotless when I got home. Mark sent lots of pictures. I am confident Mark is trustworthy and loves animals. Sure hope he is available when I need to travel!”

Rita I.

“Jennifer did a wonderful job caring for our 3 dogs and 3 cats while we were gone for the week. Jennifer sent daily updates and pictures and was immediately responsive to our texts. We returned to a happy crew and clean house. She even checked in a few days later to see how the animals were adjusting. We will use her again and you should too!!!”

Laura D.

“Eddie was fantastic. This was the first time we used Rover. I was a bit apprehensive. Happy to say, it was easy and Eddie kept us informed regarding our fur babies. Thanks Eddie. We will definitely do it again”

Christine W.

“Christine was hands down the best dog/ house sitter we could have asked for! We have 3 large dogs and one with a seizure disorder that takes timed medication. We were able to enjoy our vacation because of Christine being so communicative and capable. I cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I am a lifelong dog parent, with over 40 years experience with many different breeds; ranging from Terriers to Labs, Shepherds, Huskys, Bully Breeds, Hounds, Herding dogs, Sporting and Working breeds, Toy groups, and many mixed breeds. I have spent decades frequenting the lake county dog parks; studying their behaviors and interactions with other dogs and with people. I have a very laid back and easy-going approach that I have had great success with in relating to and connecting with dogs and their pet parents. I am very tuned in to their body language, and very adept at reading their emotions. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in yard with a cabin like interior that is very welcoming to dogs. I offer both a fun and safe environment for my pet guests, and will treat them like family. I have lake access with a private beach if your dog(s) like to swim. I frequent the lake county dog parks and would love to take your dog(s) along if that is something you are comfortable with. I am very flexible - and typically available 7 days per week. I am available nights, weekends, and holidays. Ideally allow for two days advance notice. Safety is my top priority. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in lot, and a very warm and comfortable dog friendly home, that was once a summer cottage close to Round Lake. I am on a quiet dead end road which is very safe for walks, as well as freedom to roam the yard. My goal is to customize my services to meet your dogs needs, whatever they may be. I will treat your pets as I do my own- like family- lots of fun, exercise and plenty of TLC.

“Alexandra was wonderful, she has great energy that our dogs responded to immediately! She communicated frequently and shared lots of pictures of our pups while we were traveling. Our dogs can be a handful, but she was not intimidated and managed them well. They were well-loved while we were gone! Thank you!!”

Kristen L.

“Jennifer did a great job and our pups were very happy! She kindly dealt with us coming home in the middle of the night due to a sick child. Somehow even with our surprise entry home, the house was spotless too. Thank you so much!”

Kathryn M.

“Rebecca and team were wonderful! We had a great experience with our dog sitter. They took wonderful care of our pets and were very reliable. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were in good, experienced hands. We highly recommend!”

Lauren P.

“Lauren did a great job. The dogs were happy and she sent regular pictures to let us know how they were doing. She is easy to communicate with and we will definitely use her again!”

Leah F.

“Grace was excellent! She provided updates when needed and was very helpful and attentive to our requests and instructions. We came home to a happy, healthy puppy and a clean house. All we could ask for in a sitter! We will definitely be booking Grace again! Thanks, Grace!”

Meghan K.

“Haley and Alex came through for me in a very last-minute and stressful situation due to a family emergency. They stayed with my Boys and kept them happy and cared for in my home while I was out of town. They were great about keeping me updated, especially knowing how stressed I was since this was the first time anyone besides my immediate family took care of my pups. I would definitely book them again and will recommend them to all of my pet parent friends! 🐶🐾”

About: My genuine love for animals, experience with various breeds and special needs, beautifully fenced in yard by the water, and emphasis on love and patience collectively set me apart as a dog sitter who provides exceptional care and creates a loving environment for the dogs entrusted to me. I don’t have any pets of my own right now, which makes it extra fun to spend time with yours! 🐾 Let’s set up a meet-and-greet so I can meet your pup and you can see how much fun we’ll have together! I like to start the day with a quick potty break followed by some playful yard time to get the wiggles out, then it’s straight to breakfast. During the day we’ll stroll around the neighborhood, sniff out some new spots, and say hi to fellow furry friends. Maybe even hop in the car for a little adventure or park visit. By evening it’s all about winding down, cozy vibes, and a yummy dinner to wrap up a tail-wagging day! I care for pets by stepping into their paws and seeing the world the way they do! They thrive when we keep a routine that feels familiar, filled with their usual play, walks, and snuggles. To make them feel right at home, please bring along any favorite toys, blankets, or other comfort items they love.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was young. I was always around dogs and a bit of cats. I also have experience with birds. Through videos and teaching my own dogs I am familiar with basics of training a pet. I currently work two part time jobs. The military takes on a weekend a month for me so some weekends I am not available. I will make sure to update my schedule the best I can. Other than that I have some flexibility during the weekdays If your are currently training your pet, I can continue with training consistency while you are gone. I can feed, walk, and crate your pet as well.

“Autumn was very confident and caring with our problematic dog Batman. She took extra time to get to know our little guy and was a great sitter that we were very thankful to find.”
