About: I am lifelong dog owner with over 40 years experience with 8 dogs and breeds from Terrier mixes to labs, German short hairs, pit bulls, bully breeds and many mixed breeds. I have spent decades frequenting the lake county dog parks and 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. 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. 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 TLC

About: I have experience caring for dogs for family and close friends, including my brother, mother-in-law, and a longtime high school friend. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, playtime, walks, basic cleanup, and following care instructions. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication, and I’m available for both in-home sitting and drop-in visits—treating every dog like my own. I dedicate each day to caring for my three cats, which gives me hands-on experience with feeding, playtime, grooming, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. This daily routine helps me stay attentive to pets’ needs, manage different personalities, and provide consistent, loving care. I bring the same attention and dedication to every pet I care for, whether it’s for in-home sitting or drop-in visits. I care for pets with love and attention, making sure their needs are met—feeding, playtime, cuddles, potty breaks, and naps. Energetic dogs get plenty of walks, and I also handle grooming and follow any special instructions. I’m experienced with cleaning up after dogs and cats, keeping them happy and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’m an animal lover and have been privileged to own and care for fresh & saltwater fish, frogs, turtles, salamanders, hamsters, rabbits, parakeets, blue front Amazon parrot, cats & dogs. I’m able to care for animals that need shots or need to be hand fed. I raised my parrot as a baby and had to prepare special food and feed with a syringe as well as take care of a dog with diabetes. My pets are always the stars of our home. We are currently a pet free home since the recent passing of our beloved Brittany Spaniel Bailey. We are undecided on the next pet we will adopt, but I’m deeply missing the love and affection pets offer. For now we are looking to spoil your pets. Safety is always the most important thing I consider when watching all animals. I hope I can be fortunate enough to care for your pet. I’m currently working from home and will be home all day M-F to walk and care for pets in my home. On the weekends I would never be away from a pet in my care for more than a few hours. I have a fenced in yard, but I provide 3 walks per day for exercise. I try to establish a routine or stick to the pet owners routine in order to keep pets on schedule.

“Kathy is doing a great job with Gracie’s walks! Gracie takes time to adjust to new people but Kathy knew how to connect with her right away. A wonderful match!”

Brandi M.

“Accepted last minute with two dogs she didn’t get to meet beforehand (one being only 8 months with a lot of energy). She did an awesome job. Great communication. Prompt updates and adjusting with requests on the fly. Will be using again.”
