About: We have over 25 years experience raising our Labs, Rottweiler's and now our 2 year Chi-wienner dog, Ollie. I'll come to your place and care for the kids or bring them to me and they can play with Ollie. Walks, playtime and feedings are all good. It's no problem if they need their meds or other care. Your pets will be safe, loved, happy and well cared for, giving you peace of mind while you are at work or traveling. We currently live in a 1st floor 2 bedroom condo in Crystal Lake, Illinois. There are other dogs here and your pet could make other friends. While we focus on smaller dogs, let me know if you have a Rottie; we can consider them on a case by case basis. We raised four and have a special place for them in our hearts. Pet care is my only job so I spend lots of time with the dogs. I feed at 8am and 5:30pm. Walks are four times a day and my husband has them outside when it's sunny. I treat client dogs as if they are mine. They will spend the day with Ollie and I. My husband and I love dogs and to us they're family, including yours. It's my only job. My husband assists me and is here five days a week and every evening. All dogs are given very personalized attention. Weather permitting, my husband and I will have them outside throughout the day. Otherwise, indoor lounging is the order of the day. We feed twice a day, plus treats for all good boys and girls.

“Ally came to my rescue! I am down with the flu and no way I could walk Gavin, and he needs his walk every day. She came last minute yesterday and again today, Gavin looked forward to seeing Ally today again😊. Thanks, Ally!!”


“Katie has a very calm demeanor and Jagger was happy to go to her when he met her at the meet and greet. She set a ton of pics and videos from their walk and Jagger was very happy to be out of the Loft and getting some fresh air with her! Her help is very appreciated and gives Jagger the midday breaks he needs!”


“We feel very blessed to have found Florian to help with caring for our two chocolate labs during our recent trip out of the country. After meeting Florian for the first time, we had great confidence in leaving our cherished pups in his care for walks and visits. It is obvious that Florian's extensive experience as a pet parent / foster parent gives him a great ability to connect and bond with pets under his care. He exceeded our expectations and we will certainly be calling on Florian again for our next trip. Florian was able to handle our large dogs and understand their needs.”

About: I have been a pet owner since I brought my first dog home at 12yo and told my parents "they said we could keep her overnight to see if we liked her. We currently have three dogs, and my roommate has two. I truly believe that people don't deserve dogs, they are the best! I decided to take a break from working full time, and this is my only job right now. Coming from working 12 hours a days, I understand the guilt that come along with that for pet parents. I'm happy to step in where you can't! I'm used to working with an array of dogs, big and small along with those that have special needs, like my own. I will take whatever precautions necessary, and follow all owner guidelines.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs in the household. While my mom was away at work, my sister and I would be in charge of taking care of the animals.

So my days and empty and free, waiting for a fur baby to fill in the blanks! I can’t think of a better way to spend my summer. I am I huge animal lover with an extra soft spot for cats. I love playing fetch with dogs or cuddling on the couch and giving some good pets.

“Brian did an outstanding job taking care of our “family member” Gage. He was able to follow all the directions (believe me they are pretty complicated) we had provided and did not miss a beat. Great communication as well. Will definitely use Brian again.”


“FIVE STARS - WOULD RECOMMEND! Angela loved and cared for our dog while we were away. The report cards were detailed and included multiple photos each day, which warmmed our hearts while we missed him more each day! When I say she cared for him, I mean she actually CARED! When he wasn't eating his dinner, she tried multiple efforts and then notified me of it. We were able to communicate and remedy it! She also took into consideration the temperature of each individual day, and what would be an appropriate time outdoors for MY individual dog breed and personality. She got to know his likes and dislikes, and played with him with his toys. I will be hiring her again! ?”


About: I grew up with animals starting out with hamsters and guinea pigs. Currently have a small Bichon Frise dog who always needs love and attention. I love going on walks, especially with a companion:) I am currently a college student and attend classes Monday through Thursday so my availability is mainly weekends other than when I am on breaks. For my own dog I always make sure she has food and water at all times. Letting her outside whenever she wants in order to get some fresh air and then going on walks with her twice a day is part of our routine. She is not one to play, but still loves being silly and having the zoomies. In those energetic moments I always join her. Then at the end of the day everyone deserves a treat and so does she:)

Kathleen & John N.
“Kathleen has been caring for my English Bulldog Nigel while I travel for business. She has proven to be a true dog lover - patient, loving and caring. She treats Nigel with love and tenderness. He has extreme allergies and needs eye drops twice daily and a weekly grooming at the dog spa. Kathleen has taken him to his weekly bath and back home. His groomer has commented multiple times what a terrific dog sitter she is and that he is in good hands when I am gone. Kathleen is personable, friendly and professional. But most importantly Nigel loves her. He is excited to see her every time she arrives. He is comfortable with her and shows no anxiety being with her when I leave. He is calm and relaxed when I arrive home and that means the world to me. I highly recommend Kathleen as a dog sitter/dog walker.”
