Dog Sitting in Round Lake

“Gwendolyn did a wonderful job caring for Chevy. They went for a walk and had some cuddle time on the couch. I feel totally comfortable leaving Chevy with her!”

“Sara was fantastic! She gladly agreed to meet us in advance for a meet and greet and our dog immediately gave her kisses! A good sign for our usually hesitant dachshund. :) She made us feel extremely comfortable leaving our baby in her hands and didn’t flinch at my paranoia regarding our sticky door lock. She arrived on time for all scheduled visits, stayed plenty long enough for Madeiline to do her business and still get some snuggles in. She was super responsive and sent multitude of pictures of their adventures. Arrived home to a happy and relaxed puppy. Would definitely recommend Sara to any other dog parents out there and will be using her again ourselves. Thank you Sara!”

“Barbara was so friendly and amazing. She was so attentive with Sammy, and she gave really nice updates that made me feel better while away from my cat! Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have been a Petco certified dog trainer since I was 18 and have dog/house sat many times since! I treat your dog like family and your home with respect! I am flexible! I am available Mondays and Thursdays all day. Saturdays I get off work at 2:00pm I work 9-5 during the rest of the days of the week. But I always need an excuse to use PTO so watching your fur baby won’t be problem! I just need a two week notice Quality time will be spent with your fur baby to make sure they keep busy. Plenty of playtime and mental stimulation. I love using puzzle toys, snuffles and other things to get a dogs mind working!

“Marisa was wonderful to help care for our critters. They both look happy and well taken care of getting home from our trip, she did a great job! We really appreciated the photos and comments about how they were doing at each check in as well.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have done sitting on the side for family and friends. I have raised my dogs from puppies to now they are 15 and 10 I also got a kitten about a year ago and she’s been enjoying the ride ever since! I am currently in college. I am planning on getting another part time job so I will be sure to communicate with my clients the schedule for that. I take care of my own pets everyday and would love to add yours too. I have grown up with animals my whole life so their routine is my routine. I believe that we owe it to our pets to make sure their needs are met and that they are happy.

About: Hi there! I have been watching animals for the past 20 years (both my own and friends'). I currently have a cat named Kona and a dog named Indy. Kona is full of spunk and has a great personality. She has experience living with dogs and is well socialized. Indy is still a playful puppy and a bit of a goofball. He’s well socialized and loves to play with other dogs (both large and small). In terms of care experience, I have experience with training and building social confidence. I also have significant experience working with senior cats and dogs: mobility issues, medications, blindness/deafness, seizures, and incontinence. As a recent puppy adopter, I also have experience with younger animals and can help with socialization, training, etc. I’m currently working hybrid, so have flexibility for walks and drop in visits. I have a preference for walks in the early morning and late afternoon / evening. I have a fenced in yard and live near the 606 trail. We often take walks around the neighborhood and play a bit in the backyard.

About: I’ve taken care of lizards and dogs. I’ve trained my own dog, and he has been canine good citizen certified. My dog gets along well with other dogs but in the event of an issue I have pens and crates to separate animals with consent. I currently provide time to walk my dog each morning, afternoon and night with play time during the day as I work from home. I am very flexible. 2-3 walks daily, with play time or training once to burn energy. My complex has a dog park which I utilize about once a week

About: Since I was 14, I have been entrusted to care for all animals, but my main experience is with dogs! I grew up with dogs being a major part of my life and will ensure love and safety for your dog! I have experience with all stages of life for dogs too. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to care for your animal(s)! I am available Monday through Thursday, as early as 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and cleanliness I would expect for my own. I follow all routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I take the time to bond with each pet, making sure they feel safe, loved, and calm in their familiar environment. As an option, I can send updates with photos and messages if requested.

“So grateful for Gage's check in!! Dogs were happy for attention, water bowl refilled, and best of all - our minds were at ease. Thank you!”

About: Hi, my name is Stella, I do dog walking, and also run a doggy vacation care in my home in the Valley Lakes community of Round Lake. It's a safe, non-crated environment with a fenced in yard. They always have the run of the house or yard ,plus lots of toys and comfy couches to nap on. I can take care of them for as little or as long as needed. I do this full time so your pet always has company. I take in a small number of dogs so each one gets very spoiled. They get plenty of exercise and play time. I have been doing this for over 20 years and have plenty of references. Currently I have dog named Buddy,aka my shadow. our Cock-A-Chon mix we recently rescued. Super loving and smart boy who completed our family We just adopted another family member, a 3 month Cavalier puppy that loves absolutely everyone and everything. About my yard I have a medium size fenced-in yard with a doggy pool for those hot days. My experience administering medication I have experience in oral meds and injections as well. Iv been a pet caregiver for over 25 years. My husband and I do this full time , so we are home majority of the day. We also do dog walking in Round lake and surrounding areas. *****I'm currently NOT able to care for dogs with separation anxiety or high energy dogs. I'm attentive to the needs of each of my clients. No two pups are the same, so we will adjust make them feel at ease. All dogs are different and we provide individual attention that would make them happy.

“Great job! Loved the pictures. On time and followed the plan. Thank you!”
