“We would highly recommend Mae! She was amazing with our sweet pup while we were away. Mae sent daily updates, responded quickly, and was so attentive and caring with our dog. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our pup was in wonderful hands! Mae also went above and beyond and took care of our home as well.”

“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!”

About: I am an animal lover to the fullest and your neighborhood pet sitter! Being around dogs is a form of therapy for me; I also give the best chin and belly rubs a pet could ask for... so it's a win-win! I grew up in a dog household. I will properly care for your pet as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible and I am open to working with your busy schedule and your pets' needs. I have experience with many kittens and full grown cats and puppies as well as elderly dogs. I am learning more about this industry and pets everyday and loving every day of it! I look forward to meeting you and becoming your pets' newest friend!
“Five star all the way! Savanah was wonderful with our two pups - a greyhound and a coonhound mix - a lazy one and a wild one :) She stayed at our home for 4 nights and 5 days and only left the pups alone once, which was well beyond our expectations! Savanah was respectful of our home, leaving it in great condition for our return and updated us daily including pics - which made it easy to see they loved her. She followed all instructions we provided and reached out when she had questions. When we returned, it was obvious they had been well cared for as they were content and calm ... and I think they were still looking for Savanah! We will definitely be reaching out to Savanah again as it made our vacation so much more enjoyable knowing they (and our home) were being well-cared for.”

About: I am a lifelong pet owner of 3 dogs. I have plenty of experience with dog walking, house sitting, quality and effective playtime, dealing with messy cleanups, and administering medication. I have had returning clients who trust me to always be available and happy to give their pets quality attention and care. I have worked with dogs ranging from puppy to senior and from miniature to gigantic. I’d love to connect with you and your furry companions!! Aside from dogs, I also have experience with cats, fish, and mice! I am currently working a part-time job, but hours are very limited. I usually work weekdays but am available weekends, nights, and if needed, overnight (Mon-Wed). I have reliable transportation as well. While I do not offer boarding in my own home, I am able and happy to provide my services at your own home. I have worked for many different families who I have built trust with who know that I provide safe, nurturing, and supportive care to dogs of any age and size.
“Mark is a great sitter that my family has used twice now! The animals love Mark and I'm always getting updates with pictures of them for peace of mind. Absolutely recommend for your pet sitting needs!”

“Eddie was exactly what we had hoped for. He was extremely polite, kind, great with the dogs and our bunny and left the house absolutely beautiful when we came home. He communicated with us and sent videos and pictures upon our request and did a fabulous job. I would hire him back in a second! Definitely worth every penny and more.”

“Brittany took care of my 2 senior dogs while we were away for 3 days. One of our dogs requires meds 3 times a day, and she is an over reactive dog. Brittany handled a situation with another dog that was off leash very effectively! My dog does not like other dogs, and she picked up my dog to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. Overall she took very good care of their needs, even walking them a couple times a day when she could have just let them in the fenced yard. I would definitely recommend Brittany to watch over your pets and give them the best of care.”

“Aimee did a great job taking good care of our puppy! She is very kind and passionate. She played very well with our puppy, brought him to potty, prepared food and water for him. Our puppy had a lot of fun.”

“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: I’ve had dogs my whole life, from the puppy years all the way up to saying goodbye. I have many years of experience in handing dogs and caring for them. Throughout the years I have dog sat neighbors and friends dogs. Leaving a family member behind is hard, for both you and your pet, I am here to eliminate that stress by making sure your pet is well taken care of while their human is away. I am available anytime after 8am for play dates and check-ins, I have a pretty open and flexible schedule and will be able to work out times that best work for you! When it comes to the safety of your pet, I take this very seriously. I only give treats/toys that you approve. If there are special accommodations your pet may need, please let me know before meeting so I can come prepared! I am very open minded to discussing anything that I can do to better care for your pet!
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family. Declan communicated and sent photos throughout his stay, and we felt comfortable that the pups were well cared for!”

“We would re-book Jillina without hesitation. She is a high integrity, super responsible pet sitter who will make it a priority to comfort and care for your pets. She truly bonded with our felines (2 mature Siberian cats). Her attention to our details, which we clearly outlined, were kept without compromise. We graced her with a lot of latitude in our home which she treated with great respect and did not in any way take advantage of. Our cats will miss her! Jillian personifies the ideal pet sitter.”

“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!”

About: My life has been filled with furry, scaly, spiky and feathered friends! I have experience with just about every animal ranging from a goldfish to squirrels! I’ve raised animals from days to decades old ! Where there is an animal in need I will be there :) My job allows me hours of spare time in my day , so what better way to spend my time then caring for my favorite species on earth! My fur babies are watched like a hawk by me and so will yours , I consider myself a mother to all animals in my presence :) very aware of all dangers , I am able to prevent anything bad from happening!
“I received multiple pictures of Maxximus and Lola and messages from Sarah while I was away. This reassurance allowed me to enjoy my vacation. She also kept the house organized for my return. Thank you!!!”

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.

EXCELLENT! that’s the one word I’d use to recommend Mel! She is incredibly responsible and followed every instruction I gave her to the T. When my sick dog had an accident, she cleaned up immediately and administered her regular medications exactly as instructed. My fussy, pampered dogs were fed precisely the way I wanted, without compromise. Mel went above and beyond with endless kisses, hugs, and belly rubs, so much so that my dogs were reluctant to leave the true 5-star treatment they received. Our furry babies may not speak, but they always let us know when they’ve been genuinely loved and cared for in our absence. And yes, they definitely “told” me they want to be with Mel again! If I could give her 10 stars, I absolutely would. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brittany made sure to come over to our house prior to her first stay to get to know us and pup Champagne. She was thorough and asked thoughtful questions. During her stay, she kept us updated on her arrival and departure times reducing our stress! Champagne and her hit it off from the start!

Dahyron was absolutely amazing! He cared for our pets and home with such kindness and responsibility. We came back to a clean house, happy pets, and complete peace of mind. He kept us updated throughout the weekend, which we really appreciated, and even picked up on our dog’s and cat’s little quirks right away. Our pets adored him, which says a lot because they can be picky and are great readers of energy! We would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
