“We were visiting from out of town and needed someone to watch our dog for a day. Kim and her whole family stepped up to the challenge! I appreciated how comfortable I felt leaving my pup with her. My dog is anxious and doesn't always take to strangers. No problem here. She was chillin' on the couch shortly after arrival. It was wonderful to have the day without worrying about Delilah but having the opportunity to bring her along on the trip and not leave her home for an extended stay with strangers. I would definitely utilize Kim again if the need arose!”

About: I have a Certificate in Animal Science. I have either owned or cared for dogs since I was very young. I am my family's doggy daycare. I also worked for P.A.W.S. (People for Animal Welfare Society). I am available 24/7 for boarding with the exception of when I might be away on vacation or away from the house or no more vacancies. I am conveniently located in a nice neighborhood just minutes from Six Flaggs Great America, Great Wolfe Lodge Water Park, and Gurnee Mills Mall. So caring for your family pet(s) will be a win-win for both you and me. I have a large fenced in yard for room to run and play. I also have a screened in patio for a place to enjoy the fresh air outdoors when the weather doesn't cooperate and a place to dry off after they are out in the snow or rain.

“We had the absolute pleasure of having our dog cared for by this amazing family, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. They welcomed our pup into their home like she was one of their own with lots of love, attention, and even some playful spoiling (just the right amount!). Communication was excellent throughout the stay. We received regular updates, pictures, and sweet messages that showed just how happy and comfortable she was. It was clear our dog was being treated not just like a pet, but like part of their family. The environment is clean, safe, and filled with good energy. Their genuine love for animals really shines through in everything they do. If you’re looking for a dog sitter who is trustworthy, kind, and truly goes above and beyond, look no further. We’re so grateful to have found them on such a short notice.”

“Sunshine and family were so awesome! We have a senior dog who's a little particular and she made him really comfortable. We got lots of cute update pics and pickup and drop-off were smooth & easy. We are from out of state and couldn't meet ahead of time so we really appreciated the warmth and care that Sunshine showed to us and our pup.”

“This was our first visit with Lucy and we were very happy with the care our dog received. She has a kind and gentle demeanor that makes our dog feel at home. Her partially fenced yard offers the perfect area for our pup to run off excess energy. We will definitely use Lucy’s services again.”

About: I got a puppy when I was 18 and she’s 13 now! I have another dog and 2 cats we love just as much as our human babies! I work from home so I am home all day to be able to love on your babies and give them any care they may need while you are away! I have a fully fenced in backyard with 2 playful dogs! Pets are allowed wherever humans are allowed in our house! This is their home, too.

About: I have a lot of experience with domestic pets as well as wildlife. Safety is my priority. I love having animals in my life, we currently have two cats but crave some dog love. I have a lot of experience with special need, post-op, seniors, etc. I am flexible and can fit your pet visit in most days with ease. I’ll be keeping my calendar updated as I get more clients. My number one priority is safety. In-home my medications and chemicals are locked away, food is stored properly, garbage secured, basement gated off, and appropriate toys available for play. The yard is fenced in (jumpers go on long-line for double-security). I am meticulous to obsession about ensuring your companion stays safe.

About: I have always had pets in my life and loved and cared for everything from small rodents up to horses and cows. I have handled medical treatments and first aid on many animals and have worked closely with my vet often acting as an assistant for medical calls. I am comfortable with all ages of animals and can provide separate space in my home if needed. I am insured. I am a stay at home mom and home most of the time to care for my family and pets. Your pets are a priority and become part of our family while they are here! I am also willing to accommodate caged pets, (mice, rats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, bearded dragons, etc.) We have a VERY large fenced in yard and our dog Monroe loves everyone, however, not all dogs love his intense energy. We have crates available when needed. I have always been the trusted dog sitter for my friends and family when they are vacationing. I look forward to making your pet feel at home with us and giving them tons of love and cuddles. I am a full time pet sitter/care giver. Pets with me get lots of love, play and cuddles and are treated like members of the family while they are with us. MOST of the time I am not away from the home for more than 2 hours at a time. In order to protect all of my clients and their pets, I require all pets in my care to be up to date on vaccines and flea preventative. Please make sure they are up to date. Any dog over 9 months of age must be spayed or neutered. I am insured. I have crates available, gates to keep dogs separated as needed and a large fenced in yard.

“I gave the sitter 5 stars. I will use them anytime I need a sitter for my dog. Thanks for your service.”

About: Hi! While your gone away you can be sure your dog will get the love and care of a full family, we are up at 7am for a health breakfast and by 9 we’re out to hike a 1.5 mile trail full of wild life and beautiful views for your pup to see and experience. By 11 we’re back home for a bit of rest before lunch. Then comes nap time! The long walk usually tires the doggies out. After a few hrs they are up again for more playtime, usually hands on with the family, games like tug and fetch. This leads us to dinner around 6 and a bit more attention before our 8:30 bed time. Every day your pup is with us is an adventure they will be sure to enjoy just as much as the vacation your taking! My wife works from home and I walk dogs and manage the boarding 24/7. It’s always been a dream job if mine to be able to spend all day taking care of dogs and now I’m finally living that dream! I have a huge fenced in yard but the dogs will only be out there to use the bathroom. Maybe later in the day for some fetch but mostly the dogs will be inside with us. Also our morning walk is about 1-2 hrs long and that take a lot out of the dogs leaving them easy to manage most of the rest of the day.
