Pet Sitting in Round Lake

“Mary-Kate was a life saver. She came over on very short notice to drop in on our dog when I got stuck at work. She is reliable and has great communication. We will definitely request her next time!”

“Emily did an amazing job taking care of all my animal babies. My two kitties and two sheep loved her. And my chickens and ducks were quite happy as well. I was so happy to know they were all being taken care of while I was away. Thank you Emily!”

Melissa B.

“Kathy is wonderful! She came to meet Mia prior to her first visit and this made us feel so much better since we’ve never used a service like this before. She communicates great and you can tell she truly loves dogs. Our puppy Mia loves her!”

Karen P.

“She's been so reliable and punctual and keeps in touch about everything! Even extra photos!! Thrilled with Sabrina! And my dogs are tired out at the end of day thanks to their mid day exercise!”

Rachel L.

“Donna is very thorough and diligent- she’s picked up on our animals body language better than any other sitter has. We needed a sitter in a pinch, and we felt so much more at peace knowing that it was her taking care of our babies during vacation!”

Nathan C.

“First time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier! Kylee took care of ny cat and dog while I was away on vacation with 2 drop-in visits per day. I only booked a couple of weeks in advance, and she came just a few days after I sent the request for a meet and greet. Communication was great, she was very loving with my animals, and I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Kylee, for a great first experience with Rover.”

“Michelle was wonderful with my boys, especially the one who needs lots of meds. Her reports were very detailed and fun, and I knew my boys were in wonderful hands!”

Davina W.

“Haley was so flexible with our 6 month old puppy. She sent frequent updates, made sure he was fed, got his much needed exercise on walks, and was respectful of our home. It was such a relief to have Haley as reliable, trusted sitter while we were at work. Would definitely recommend Haley for any pet sitting needs!”

About: I have worked with animals, both large and small, since I was a child. I have experience as a veterinary tech, and I have trained multiple dogs throughout the years. I have also worked at the Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society, both caring for and evaluating animals. I have special needs pet experience, including running IVs, and giving medications (aurally, orally, injections, etc.). I am not squeamish or shy with any animal, and I have the ability to separate animals from my personal pets and give them their own room! There is a cute town that is very dog friendly, trails, parks and water are aplenty! I word office job during the week, but weekend I stay home and garden/read/take my dog out for walks and swims. I have other pets that I enjoy caring for as well, and my dog and I spend a lot of time cuddling. I have a separate guest room, furnished with a bed for them to relax in. All my animals are well-socialized and can be put into their personal bedroom as needed. I small yard for them to play, and direct access to wooded trails behind my house.

“This is our 2nd time with Kaitlyn & she is great! She does all we ask & is appreciative of our tips beforehand with how to care for our cats. Very kind & considerate - would recommend her to anyone & will hopefully continue to have her watch our kitties when needed😊”

About: Hi! Some of my first baby pics are with dogs and only recently has that changed. I grew up almost always with my grandmother showing, boarding, grooming, training dogs, and attended many shows with her each year. I even showed a few dogs! As an adult she gave me my first dog, a red male Doberman. I soon became interested in rescue, so volunteered and fostered with the Tarheel Weimaraner Rescue in NC. I fostered four dogs and only kept one- which is pretty good I think! I also worked at a doggy daycare for over a year in NC, introducing me to first hand experience with different breeds, daily meds, senior dog care, and managing a group. Over a decade has come and passed with my 3 amazing dogs, and I was soon empty nesting. I want to offer *walking and running* for larger breed, healthy dogs that need more exercise. My schedule of availability is mostly early morning, late evening, and weekends with limited availability during the week. Schedule will be updated on my profile I am offering walking and running services initially outside of my home; the answer to this is a discussion that would happen with the client prior to hiring!

About: I've been a dog lover my whole life, and before I had a dog/pet of my own, I would walk about 6 dogs 3 times a week for friends, which has given me experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am an enthusiastic and active dog walker, and I can create a fun environment to keep your dog active and mentally stimulated. I'm skilled at reading a dog's body language, so I'll be able to tell when your dog is happy, anxious, or just needs a break. I'll take the time to earn your dog's trust, whether through gentle petting, interactive playtime, or just quiet company. My goal is to make your time away stress-free by providing the best care for your dog and your home. My full-time, remote job gives me the flexibility to provide exceptional pet care. Since I work from home, I can offer frequent potty breaks, midday walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. This allows me to adapt to your pet's specific routine and schedule, ensuring they get the care they need without being left alone for long periods. I'm also available for bookings on weekends, offering complete coverage for your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I follow all instructions and routines to the letter. I prioritize the security of your home by ensuring all doors and windows are locked and secured. I'm also mindful of keeping your home tidy, especially by cleaning up any pet-related messes. I'll make sure to keep a close eye on your pet to ensure their safety and well-being.

About: I have experience with kittens, puppies as well as older cats and dogs. I treat each pet as if they are my own. I bring a sense of humor, calming presence and strong work ethic to all of my clients. I am a music teacher who has summers off, so I am available every day. I can be flexible with your plans and scheduling needs. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs of my own that can keep your fur babies company. I am also willing to to crate them if needed or preferred.

“I can’t recommend Danielle enough! They took amazing care of my cat Jerry while I was away, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, Danielle was professional, responsive, and clearly experienced with cats. Jerry can be a bit shy with new people, but he warmed up to Danielle right away — a true testament to their gentle and kind approach. I received regular updates, including photos and little notes about how Jerry was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Danielle didn’t just “watch” Jerry, but genuinely cared for him — playing with him, keeping his routine, and making sure he felt safe and comfortable. When I came home, Jerry was relaxed, happy, and clearly well looked after. Everything was neat and clean, and his food, water, and litter area were spotless. It honestly felt like I never left. If you're looking for a trustworthy, loving, and responsible cat sitter, look no further than Danielle. Jerry and I are both so lucky to have found her.”

About: Hi there! I'm Bree, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and loved when you’re away. That’s why I always communicate clearly with pet parents to understand their needs before taking up a job. I want the best experience for all parties.

I’m careful to follow your instructions exactly, and I always double-check details like feeding guidelines, medication, and home security (doors, gates, etc.). I also send regular updates if needed, so you know your pet is happy and safe while you're away.

“Fiona and Filip were both amazing cat sitters for my two fur babies. They were prompt, responsive and so friendly with my girls. They both made sure to send photos, give updates on the rover card and put my mind at ease knowing my girls were in good hands while I was away on a trip. I will 100% book them again in the future!!”
