House Sitting in Round Lake Park

“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.”

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!

“Our original sitter canceled the day before our trip, and we were so relieved that Brittany was available last minute. She arranged a meet and greet the same day we reached out and started the booking the very next day. She took amazing care of our two dogs and two cats while we were away for three days and sent regular updates. We’re so grateful and will definitely book with her again!”

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.

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!

“Mark took such great care of our dog! She was completely happy when we came home and our house was clean, packages and garbage cans brought in. We also had a few changes and he was so flexible. Will definitely be using him again!”

“Kim was so great with Captain! She gave us updates and understood he is just a puppy. She took her experience and her patience and gave Captain such a great day of playful fun and naps!”

“Ashlee was wonderful! My pups were well taken care of and she sent me lots of pics and videos so I knew they were in good hands the whole time.”

“Faith was our first Rover sitter and will be our go to from here on out. She spent a week with our older dogs who require a lot of patience and care. She met their every need and then some. She goes above and beyond in every way. We received updates and pictures throughout her stay. She left the house clean and even left a wonderful letter and treats. Thank you, Faith, for all you did for our fluffy babies.”

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.

“Jillian is a professional! She is great with communicating updates and pictures. I trust her 100%. It is comforting to know Summer is in good hands when I travel.”

“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.”

“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!”

Jill W.

“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! 🐶🐾”

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!

“Kathryn, thank you SO much for your great care of our dogs, for your calm and wonderful way with them, and for your frequent communication and photos. We really appreciate you!”

About: I have been pet sitting for over 4 years. I have watched dogs, cats, even chickens! I love the energy and playfulness of puppies, and am context to sit on the floor with the older dogs that just can't make it up on the couch anymore. * Capable of lifting/carrying large dogs up and down stairs if needed. * Will maintain any training habits or routines being worked on with newer/younger dog if requested. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule and can adjust to accommodate petsitting requirements. I would spend evenings with the pets and ensure they are fed, walked, and played with when needed throughout the day. I will follow any instructions provided by the owners, ensuring that pets are fed, walked, and cared for accordingly. If there are any questions I have, I will ask. Likewise, if there are any questions you have, feel free to ask me. I ensure that every house I stay in is kept clean, and ready for your return as you left it.
