“A thousand stars. Kelsey helped me out in a pinch. Lovely and inviting personality, lovely and inviting home. Very flexible -- (wasn't sure when, exactly, I would complete my 1000 mile drive, and drop off my goober dog). Benny was instantly comfortable with Kelsey even though we hadn't had time for a meet and greet. Kelsey kept me in touch with how he was doing in general, and checked in with me when she detected a brief limp. REALLY STELLAR experience -- cannot recommend highly enough.”

“We are very happy with the care our puppy received during the nine days she was with Deanne. We received an update with pictures approximately every two days. We would not hesitate to book with her again.”

“Sully had his first weekend with Rachel and family this past weekend! Prior to the arrival, she was very responsive and asked all the right questions to make sure Sully was a match for her family. We also did a meet and greet before to make sure it was a good fit. She posted daily updates on her Facebook page that truly showed the smile on our dogs face. They’re fenced in yard with a little blue is perfect for multiple doggies. He had the best weekend. He is still sleeping almost after 24 hours of picking him up. A tired dog is a happy dog. ;) We most definitely we contact Rachel for future overnight needs. She took great care of him and we are truly grateful for that!!”

“This was my first rover experience and it couldn’t have gone smoother . Debbie and Tom are super nice and were communicative throughout the whole process! Nyla was very well taken care of and clearly had a lot of fun during her stay :)”

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.

“Kim was excellent with our high energy puppy. She provided a ton of pictures and gave her a lot of playtime outside! I would highly recommend Kim and plan on using her again in the future!”

“Stella is the best! We’ve had our dogs stay with her and they’ll be back! Very caring, professional setting, and she’s great at sending updates on how they’re doing :)”

Brian J.

“This was my first time using Rover and Chisato gave me the confidence I needed. She was amazing with King. He also enjoyed his time playing with toys and being a good boy on walks. I also really enjoyed receiving tons of videos and pictures of King while I was away. I’ll definitely book again with her in the future. ☺️”

Brittany F.

“My dogs enjoyed their stay with Elizabeth and her fur babies! She sent lots of pictures and responded promptly to my inquiries. She has a beautiful yard that my dogs enjoyed exploring and running through. Even though my family is from out of town and shy in new situations, she accomodated for our needs and was a pleasure to work with.”

Melissa C.

“I just picked my dog up at Norma’s and I couldn’t be any happier!! Norma sent me several pictures and videos during the week and I could tell my dog was so happy and well cared for. I was relaxed during my week away knowing my dog was in good hands! Thank you again! ??‍??”

Julie R.

“Angela & David were the perfect hosts. We had never left Gladys with anyone so we were nervous about how she would react. She had a great time with them (even falling asleep on David’s lap) which allowed us to relax and have a great time while we were away. They were super accommodating and worked with our friend to arrange pick up when we could not make it. Thank you for making her feel loved in our absence.”

Jacki G.

“We are so fortunate to have met Cassandra via Rover; she a blessing! She is so kindhearted and an amazing caregiver. Our dog Hank has the best time at her house so much so that we aren't sure he actually wanted to come home. Cassandra knew we felt guilty about leaving him so she sent us plenty of videos and pictures throughout of him playing with her dog and having the time of his life. It was such a relief to know he was not only being cared for, but actually having fun. Highly Recommended!!!”

Pam G.

“Great communication, one of my dogs is quirky and she was very patient with him. She has a beautiful large fenced in yard for animals to run around and play. They had a wonderful time staying the week.”

Heather C.

“June did a wonderful job taking care of my pup! She was very prompt in response time, and was very attentive and sent updates and multiple pictures while she took care of my pup. Thank you so much, June!”

Mark B.

“Shalyn & Joseph really set my mind at ease when dropping off my pup. They kept me updated with pictures & detailed messages about how he was doing. Wally seemed like such a happy/ tired boy when he came home & I couldn’t have asked for better people to take care of him!”

Olivia O.

“Tabitha communicates very well, provided us with daily pictures throughout the entire sitting. Very pleasant to work with. Would love to book again in the future!”

Lewis A.

“Jacob was so great watching our dog Oliver. We booked him a little shorter notice than I normally do and he arranged a meet and greet right away. Jacob is friendly, easy going, and communicates well. I really felt comfortable leaving my dog with him!”

Leslie-Anne S.

“Our 2yr old wirehaired pointing griffon stayed with Kim. She was very accommodating on short notice and Banjo had a very nice time at Kim’s home. We’d recommend Kim to anyone looking for an experienced and skilled dog sitter who enjoys what she does.”
