“Julie did a great job!! We have 4 dogs and we never thought we would be able to go on vacation. Now we have confidence knowing that our babies are well taken care of. We would definitely use Julie again in the future. Jeff B.”
“aww! Thank you for stopping by at the last minute. It was a huge relief to know my babies were all taken care of! Austin is the cat’s name. He’s a goof ball and loves it while we get him a Lion Hair cut ? Hope we can have you by another time.”

“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!”

“Thank you so much for taking care of my fur baby. Over the last year we have bonded very tightly. And this is the first time that I've ever left him for a length more than a day or two. So I really appreciate all the love and affection that you gave him. Linda Hirsekorn”

“Chris is always amazing at handling our high energy puppy. He has been doing drop ins for us and is always flexible, on time and always shows us what a great time our puppy is having.”

“Always know my hounds will be well cared for when Brittany comes. Prompt, professional pet care with attention to detail and true love for furry friends. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had 5 family dogs in my life, 1 of which is my dog, personally trained her. And my job throughout high school was dog sitting & dog walking! I am currently working part-time, only 5 minutes from home. My schedule varies weekly but I will always schedule dog visits or boardings when the pup will get my 100% attention. I have a fenced yard & an amazing roommate. We both love dogs and would absolutely love to have your dog join our little sanctuary for any time needed.
“Hope was amazing!!!! Maxwell was comfortable with her from the very start and fell in love with her quickly. It was almost like they were kindred spirits...REALLY! She was prompt and simply delightful. If anyone gets the chance to utilize her services, she some HIGHLY recommended. P.S. Hope, Maxwell misses you!”


About: I’ve had animals my entire life and it’s truly my passion, everyone I know trusts me with their furrbabies! I’ve had dogs (great dane and boston terriers), cats, fish, tortoise, and a bearded dragon. I treat every pet like my own, i’m attentive and patient, and my main priority is making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable! I am a high schooler in online school, a month away from graduating. I also don’t currently have a job, so I am available daily! I prefer to work in the morning. I have plenty of experience with taking care of animals. During drop-in visits I will take care to follow all of your requests while making sure your pet feels safe and happy!
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 7 years old. I grew up on an acreage and we always had cats and dogs. I can administer shots and medication and have experience bottle feeding kittens and bunnies. I love animals and understand that each one is different and deserves love. I am patient and careful with each pet, giving them the attention they need and feel most comfortable with. I have a soft spot for senior animals. I am a teacher, so I am available all summer for your pet sitting needs! During the school year, I am only available on the weekends or after school check-ins. I will follow all directions and rules for taking care of your pet(s). Each one is special and I understand they all have their own needs. I am great at going with the flow with your pet and letting them lead the activity.
“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 am a lifelong dog parent, with over 4 decades of 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 am home nearly around the clock, and committed full time to giving great care and attention to my highly -valued dog guests. I have spent decades frequenting the lake county dog parks; studying their behaviors and interactions with other dogs and with people, which has been an invaluable learning experience for me. I have a very laid back and easy-going approach and style 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. My home is on a 1/2 acre fenced in wooded lot with a cabin like interior and country atmosphere that is both welcoming , safe, and fun for my dog guests, and I make it a top priority to treat your dogs like family. I also 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 dogs 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.
“This was my first time leaving my dog home while going on vacation. I was nervous because he's 16 years old and I've never used a dog sitter before. But Guadalupe was great. She was very sweet with my dog, Motley, during the meet & greet. I could tell he was comfortable with her. She walked me through how to use the Rover app and was very accommodating, pleasant, and flexible with the holiday. She communicated well and I appreciated the text and photo updates. The house was exactly as I left it when I got back and I could tell my little guy was well cared for. Thank you, Guadalupe!”

“Anays and Francis helped out with my dog while I was out of town for 6 days with 2 walks a day. He was staying with a family member that doesn’t walk much so their help was wonderful. I am beyond impressed with Anays’ thorough reports via the app with pictures and notes on how the walk went and how far they walked. It gave me the peace of mind I needed while I was away!”


“Stella is an instant friend with a very caring heart. Took care of my cat like he was her own family member. Stella went above and beyond by playing with him, letting him in the back yard, setting up fun snacks for him, and even bringing a delivery in the house. I highly recommend Stella to give pets the care they need!”

Valerie was absolutely amazing with our dog during a very chaotic time for our family. We were in the middle of moving, and with all the stress and changes in the house, our dog had a couple of unexpected issues come up. Valerie handled everything calmly, confidently, and with so much care. She kept us updated, reassured us, and truly went above and beyond. We honestly could not have asked for a better sitter. We are so grateful for her!!
