Pet Sitting in Round Lake Park

“Brittany was great! The dogs loved her. We felt very safe and comfortable with her in our home and taking care of our pups. She is very sweet and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

“CHRIS did a great job even when one of the dogs decided that he wanted to run the house and not go on walks. Quickly, switch gears and made sure that all the animals were safe and still tried to make friends with Luke. And in the end, CHRIS did make friends with him so I believe we’ve got the start of a beautiful relationship. Thanks Chris and happy new year”

“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!”

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.

About: I've lived with cats for most of my life, and I have experience sitting for both senior dogs and puppies! I'm comfortable around dogs of any size and can handle most medications and messes, provided some instruction. In case it's relevant, I also have some limited experience with a variety of other animals, ranging from birds and mice to horses and rabbits! I'm currently waiting for the growing season to start up again (I'm an environmental technician), so I have plenty of free time during the week to spend helping out with pet care. I have a rather skittish kitty of my own, so I can't board any animals, but I'm happy to come visit others. So long as the information is provided, I'm happy to help feed, play with, clean up after, and help give medications to your furry family members as needed.

“Norma is a wonderful sitter! We have never used a pet-sitter before, so we were nervous about leaving our cats alone for a few days. Norma immediately calmed our nerves, and took amazing care above and beyond what we expected. Highly recommend, and will absolutely book her again.”

“Amy did a wonderful job taking care of our doggie! Communication was excellent, and she made sure to contact us with any questions. She sent us plenty of photos and updated us with notes at each visit. She was very easy-going and her relaxed/kind disposition made us feel confident in her abilities, which was then proven by her care. We would certainly ask her to watch our dog for future trips!”

“Sam is an amazing sitter! She took excellent care of my cat during the holidays and was incredibly thoughtful, communicative, and flexible. I’ve been relying on Sam for almost two years now and fully trust the quality of her care. I highly recommend her.”

“Guadalupe did a great job taking care of our cats and dogs for drop-ins. She even cleaned up some unexpected messes. We got updates every time she dropped by with all bathroom and feeding breaks, and most importantly pictures! :)”

About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals, and with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, I bring a deep love and understanding of their needs. I’ve worked with animals of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs, and have experience in dog training to help build positive behaviors and habits. Throughout my life, I’ve traveled with pets, ensuring they’re comfortable and safe while exploring new places, and I’m passionate about providing quality care that helps pets feel at ease. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve frequently volunteered at animal shelters and rescue organizations, where I’ve helped train, care for, and rehabilitate animals in need. My philosophy is simple: every living being has an equal right to enjoy our planet, and pets, as part of our families, deserve the best love, care, and companionship. I am committed to providing your pets with the attention they deserve, treating them as if they were my own, and ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Currently I run a small company from home, which allows me to set my own schedule. One day's advance notice is all I need to commit. For drop-in visits, I ensure pets are fed, exercised, and receive companionship. During dog walks, I provide exercise and outdoor time. For occasional boarding, I create a safe, comfortable environment, maintaining routines, and offering plenty of care and attention. I treat every pet as my own to ensure they feel safe and happy.

“Aimee took wonderful care of our dog! Our dog is getting older and she was patient and caring. Aimee provided quality care that reassured me that he was fed and loved. Thank you Aimee!!!”

“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.”

“Hope was simply amazing. She is very sweet and came over ahead of time to learn the ropes. She wanted to know where my kitties hid so she could find them and get pics for me. She made sure they had food and water and cleaned their litter boxes. I would recommend Hope to anyone at anytime.”

About: Owning two labradors myself, I understand that finding proper pet care can be difficult to find. I have owned dogs my entire life, and large dogs at that. As someone who is also trained in customer service, it is my goal to establish a relationship with different pet parents and take great care of their pets. I'm currently a freshman in college, however there are long periods of time where I am home and would love to help out with any pet needs. As an owner of two large dogs, I am extremely confident in my dog walking abilities for dogs of any size. My experience in pet sitting for pets with various special needs has allowed me to become increasingly comfortable and knowledgeable in pet care.

“Brooklyn visited our dog with late notice. She is great with communication. Hope to work with her more in the future.”

“Paige is great! She did drop in visits for our two cats and took lots of photos which I love! Will definitely call her up again the next time we go on vacation!”

Sabrina L.

“Marisa was great. It's our first time using Rover and she was wonderful. She came to meet our dogs in advance and answer any questions. She was on time when the actual day came and took good care of the dogs w feeding and pottying. We feel better knowing we have her services in the future.”

“Francis cared for my cats as if they were hers. She provided photos and updates to keep me in the loop of things. My cats love her, even the one that is fairly skittish. I am a repeat client and will always book with Francis.”

Jessica J.

“We always ask for Haley because of her wonderful care of Ella and attention to her comfort. So grateful that she’s always been accommodating to our schedule too.”

About: Hello everyone! I am a mom and wife who enjoys animal friends. I’ve raised and cared for many varieties of animals. I have experience with the tiniest fur babies to the biggest! Do to my current work schedule I will no longer be offering boarding services for dogs. However, I am open to walking and drop in services. My only requirement for bookings is that your fur baby has all the items needed to be comfortable. That includes food, leashes, harnesses, etc. Also furry loved ones should be up to date on all shots and not showing any signs of illness. If I am taking care of someone’s fur baby I will not double book. My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause but I want to ensure safety, time, and attention for pets while they are in my care. Do to COVID-19 being a concern for some, we have followed the recommended CDC guidelines. Additionally, everyone within our home has been vaccinated. Should you like for me to wear a mask during my booked service time, please do not hesitate to reach out and I will be more than happy to accommodate. I work from home. I have plenty of flexibility to adjust to a dog/cat’s recommended routine. I have more availability on the weekends to provide services. If your pet is scheduled with me, I aim to provide them with lots of love and attention! I make sure to provide updates during each booking no matter how big or small it may be.
