“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!”

“I don’t know what I would do without Hope. I book her way in advance to ensure that she is available. My kitties love her and she loves them. She is ready to go above and beyond all the time. Thank you, Hope!!”

“Chris was amazing, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone needing dog sitting. My pups took to him immediately, and got excited when he’d come over to walk them. They really enjoyed the special attention he gave them, and he was great at giving me updates during my very long business trip. I felt my dogs were in the best hands! Thanks, Chris!!”
“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Declan clearly dedicates his time making sure our dog is mentally and physically engaged during his visits, which is not an easy feat with an energized 6mo lab! We are very grateful to have an enthusiastic and experienced handler like Declan around.”

“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.”

“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.”

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 will treat your pets as I do my own- like family- lots of fun, exercise and plenty of TLC.

Round Lake Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brittany is beyond amazing. She is one of the few people that we know we can still go on trips with the comfort of her visits. Knowing Brittany is taking expert care of our sweet, but high maintenance dog. She goes above and beyond in all she does and we are very grateful.

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!!
