“Hope was very attentive and communicative. I felt comfortable leaving my furbabies with her. I loved seeing the pictures of them everyday. Will definitely use Hope again.”
“This is the second time I have had Brittany take care of the cat clan here, and once again she did a great job! It is reassuring to receive her msgs and photos while away. I know the cats are well taken care of. I will definitely book her again.”
About: I've lived with cats for most of my life, and I have experience sitting for both senior dogs and puppies! I'm comfortable around dogs of any size and can handle most medications and messes, provided some instruction. In case it's relevant, I also have some limited experience with a variety of other animals, ranging from birds and mice to horses and rabbits! I'm currently waiting for the growing season to start up again (I'm an environmental technician), so I have plenty of free time during the week to spend helping out with pet care. I have a rather skittish kitty of my own, so I can't board any animals, but I'm happy to come visit others. So long as the information is provided, I'm happy to help feed, play with, clean up after, and help give medications to your furry family members as needed.
“Brookelynn was super nice! She took on a drop in visit last minute and made sure my fur baby was well taken care of! She was also very responsive and kept me in the loop every step of the way!”
“Amazing couple. Even though my fur babies hid, they took great effort to find and photo them. They kept their food and water bowls full. The two are great sitters.”
About: I have worked in the pet industry for several years as a pet groomer ( Cats and Dogs), daycare manager, and even dabbled in dog training. I am confident in my ability to read pet body language to gauge how an animal is feeling, and am equally confident in most forms of pet care! I have pretty open availability at the moment, as I am working part-time and helping my partner with his work, so I am flexible for pet care requests! I am able to do meet and greets to see if I am a good match for your pet and their needs prior to scheduling a walk-in or drop-in appointment!
“Norma was wonderful and did a great jobs with my two cats. Kept me posted how they are doing and made feel good knowing they were in good hands. I will definitely use her again in the future to help with my 2 cats. I highly recommend her.”
“Tommy and Julie were fantastic this past week. They came over in advance to meet our cats and see what their routine was like. They asked lots of questions to make sure the booking was a good fit for us and them. They were very friendly and responsive while we were gone, they arrived on time every day, brought in packages and mail for us when they were here. They took time and care to feed the cats, clean their dishes and played with them every day. We received daily pictures and video from them as well. Would definitely recommend them and will be using them again as well!”
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.
“Stella was recommended to me by a friend and I can see why! She was AMAZING!!! My dog instantly fell in love with her and I knew she would be in great hands. Everyone says they are an animal lovers, but... animals really love Stella. She just has a warmth to her. I will absolutely leave Umi with her again.”
“Francis cared for my cats as if they were hers. She provided photos and updates to keep me in the loop of things. My cats love her, even the one that is fairly skittish. I am a repeat client and will always book with Francis.”
“Jamie and her husband Ryan are amazing dog parents! They were very sweet and caring with our boy. He even got a homemade scarf to take home! We can't wait to bring our pup back for another stay ?”

Round Lake cat parents share their Rover experiences
Amy did a phenomenal job. She did drops in for my 2 medically fragile cats for 11 days and was able to administer their injectable medicine. She was enthusiastic and attentively executed their comprehensive care tasks. She also gracefully handled a situation where my cat had to be taken to his vet which is quite far from my house and during rush hour. She also left my home very tidy. Great communication and phenomenal care- my cats loved her which is a noteworthy stamp of approval. I would recommend Amy to anyone who has pets with special needs.
