Dog Sitting Twin Lakes

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs for over 30 years. Currently am a dog dad of a sweetheart 3 year old tri-color pitbull named Seven. We love to go on longboard skateboard rides on the lake bluff bike bath everyday. I currently work full time driving. Which allows me to get home multiple times a times per day and night to provide the best care Animals are very important to me and I always give my dog the best care and exercise possible. From multiple walks/skateboard rides per day, to always having water available and feeding at the proper time. I have even started using alcohol free wipes on dog paws before coming back inside

About: Since 2019, I've been committed to the well being of dogs and cats, offering trusted, reliable, and professional care. While my experience may be selective, each client I've served has left glowing reviews, reflecting the quality and dedication I bring to every job. Your pet companion is in good hands with my proven track record of satisfied clients. My current availability for pet services is contingent upon my full time employment, which spans Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, usually. My work is flexible as well. I am able to bring animals to my office. I operate on a hybrid work model, with a predominant presence in the office rather than at home. In my home or at my client's, the pets' safety and happiness are my top priorities. I customize care routines for each furry friend, sticking to their usual schedule for feeding, playtime, and keeping an eye on them. I make sure the environment is safe and comfy, and I'm always up for fun and cuddles to keep them content. I keep the client updated and have a plan in case of any surprises. Basically, I aim to make sure the pets feel right at home, whether they're with me or at their owner's place. I do have a fenced in yard and my own space to keep the pet comfortable.

About: I’ve enjoyed animals my entire life. I had a dog growing up, and I fell in love with dogs and horses. I went to college for equine related activities. I’ve watched my friends pets and pets of contacts through church in the comfort of their home. I treat your pets as if they were my own. I’m able to walk your dogs, administer medicine and take note of their behavior. I always keep owners updated on how their pets are doing while they’re away unless they don’t want to be notified. I even send photos to keep owners updated and at ease. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to walk and play with your pets. Animals make me happy, and I love them. I currently don’t have a place that allows pets, but I’d be happy to take your pets to a park. I can also take them to a public walk path if a park is overwhelming and not a good fit.

About: I am a dog lover, I’ve had many pets throughout my life. I had a dog named Bella for 12 years so I have a lot of experience with dogs. I’ve also had other family members ask me to watch their dogs. I potty trained her and thought her tricks and I can do the same for your dog. I love dogs and I will make sure your dog is well fed, walked and given enough affection while you are away. The neighborhood I live in has great places for walks and dog parks as well. I look forward to meeting you and your dogs in the future have a great day.

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages, I am comfortable administering medication orally or injections. I am the friend that dog sit for others while they were away knowing their fur babies were loved and taken care of every time. I have experience with reactive dogs as well as pups on the anxious side. I love all animals, just say the word and I will make sure whatever you need gets done! I have an open schedule and can work around whatever you need. I have a part time delivering jobs and I set my own hours and plan on working around other's schedule. I have a fenced in yard and have space to crate your dogs here if needed. I am open to coming to your house, will take on walks or stay home to play if that's not their things. I prefer to go to client's homes but can make anything work!

About: Hi my name is Dorota. I have been a dog mom for almost my entire life until recently when my dog, Patches, passed away. Although my husband and I decided not to get another dog, caring for dogs is still a passion of mine. My husband and I are very active and go on long walks almost every day, which means exercise will be a regular part of your dogs day! I am a very flexible person so your dog will be able to keep the same exact schedule that they have at home, so that they can be as comfortable as possible while living with me. I also have a lot of experience taking care of older dogs, giving them medicine, and whatever else they may need. Dogs are part of the family and when they stay at my home they'll feel like family! Please contact me if you think I would be the right fit for you!

About: I'm Julie (Jules), a graphic designer and creative director. I own a design and branding company in the Chicago/Milwaukee area that services clients locally, nationally and globally. I love all creative pursuits, including writing music for piano and singing. I've always loved all dogs, especially larger breeds (though the smaller pups are super cute and sweet and steal my heart equally!). My pup, Bella, a black lab mix, was a very kind, sweet and gentle dog. She passed in 2016 at age 14, having had a very nice life. I would love to help other fur babies who need caregiving while their humans are away or need a daily walk or check-in. I'm at home working during the week and have access to a wonderful backyard, an amazing neighborhood, and parks nearby. I love all outdoor activities, especially hiking and swimming. Would love to take your pups to the beach or on any sized walk they desire!! :) I offer these services because I love dogs, not to make a living. It's a great win/win to have a sweet fur baby around from time to time. Yes, it's nice to have some extra cash to work on the house, but my primary career more than covers my income needs. I share this info so you can be sure no other dogs will share your pup's time with me.* I keep to a strict policy of one-on-one care and up to two dogs from the same family... if you have more than two, please reach out, and I may be able to make exceptions. My rates reflect this customized care and focus for your sweet puppers! *In mid-2024, I started pairing up dogs that requested having another pup present from a different family. Please let me know if you are open to having a playmate for your pup. If you prefer no other dogs in the home while yours is here with me, I strictly adhere to your preferences and take this quite seriously. I specialize in customized care for dogs with behavioral issues such as not getting along with other dogs. Since my dog passed in 2016, I have been able to devote all my time to your pup when they're in my care. They will be carefully cared for and pampered, with every need catered to. The only thing I won't abide is a pup who isn't house-trained. If your dog/pup has never been left with a sitter before and you'd like to ensure they're a great house guest, I do suggest booking a 1-2 night stay much in advance of your trip so we can see if your pup has any specific issues to call out, and if I'm a good fit for them/you. I have found this to be of great benefit to you and me! I charge a cleaning fee IF your pup has "surprise" issues with incontinence, as this behavior can happen; however, I don't take on dogs with this issue unless we have a solution, like a doggy diaper or pee pads (for puppies). Severe separation anxiety can also be challenging, as my own pup had this issue. If there are situations such as this, I ask that you bring a crate, and the pup must be trained and be OK to be in their crate as needed. If no issues like these exist, they need to have their own bed or spot where they like to sleep. I don't allow dogs to sleep upstairs with me. Snuggling up on the sofa with a couple of pups is one of my favorite things to do. I know most dogs like a comfy bed. As noted above, please bring a fresh bed for your pet, either a cleaned dog bed from home or a new one. I have blankets for the floor and a lovely sofa that I cover with a blanket for the occasional daytime snooze. If you have an elderly dog, I know just what to do to provide the best care. As my dog Bella aged, I learned how to adapt every year. Listening to your dog and providing the best care is my priority. I realized that leaving an ailing or elderly pup in another person's care can be stressful. I would treat your dog like my own and hope to put your mind at rest. I welcome all questions as part of our meet + greet. I only sit for dogs I know or can meet during our meet + greet (unless out-of-town circumstances or timing prevail). I can sit at the last minute only for pups I've sat for previously or know well. If you are traveling from out of town and cannot sync up for a meet + greet, please reach out to discuss your situation. As far as breeds go, I have experience with an extensive range of breeds—larger breeds with special needs like an elevated dog water/food bowl due to how they process food or other breeds that are great with humans and not so wonderful with other dog breeds. I've had great results with training. I have experience with smaller breeds as well. As mentioned, I only sit for house-trained and well-behaved dogs in the home. I book up early... sometimes six months before a planned trip. Please plan ahead to secure your desired dates. I look forward to meeting your amazing pups soon!! Jules I'm home most of the time. I work days and some evenings but make my own schedule. I'm available as needed for all types of customized care. I have a lovely yard for dog play. I would love the same situation if I were dog-sitting in your home. My home is also in a very safe Hales Corners neighborhood. It has a low volume of car traffic and is very quiet.

About: I’ve been around dogs forever now! I’ve had all kinds of experiences with all different breeds. I can’t wait to love your pet almost as much as you do! I’m currently working from home and would love to have an excuse to get out of the house a little more often. I also love taking walks! I have a fenced yard and cameras set up around my house. I also have a security system in my house for doors being left open and so forth.

About: I have taken care of dogs since a very young age.. I am experienced with dogs I’ve worked with dogs in the past as well as worked at doggy daycares/vets in the past. My schedule is relatively open so even if you need someone to come and walk the dog a couple times a day I can do that! I have experience with giving dogs medication and am able to help out with that as well. I watched a few dogs in the past that were seniors and needed special care with meds so I have experience in that category:) at the moment i am not working so this actually works out very well with me im relatively open for pet care:) i just have a few scattered doctors appointments throughout the week in my clients home I will make sure to follow any rules and or guidelines that are expected of the animals and myself obviously as I am in someone else’s home..

“Katy is super! My pup Kia really gets along with her. She is kind and helpful and communicates well. She writes me long blurbs about her time with Kia which I love since I’m not able to be with her throughout the day.”

“Travis will treat your fur babies as if they were his own! This was our first experience using Rover & we were very satisfied. I would wholeheartedly recommend Travis to take care of your pets while you are away. We had 100% peace of mind & no worries or concerns. We will use him again!!!”

About: I’ve grown up caring for cats and dogs and have always enjoyed spending time with animals. I have an active dog of my own who loves going on long walks, so I’m very comfortable keeping energetic dogs active and entertained. As a high-level athlete, I’m active myself and genuinely enjoy being outdoors, whether that’s walking, playing, or simply spending time with a pet. I’ve also helped neighbors care for their animals while they were away. Right now I’m training in Milwaukee and have practice at 3:30 so I can take care of your pet during the day but also after practice if needed. Would be preferred if I did at the clients house but I live in a apartment right now they have a dog park and sorts.

About: I have owned and watch dogs but also cats. I have a love for animals and I get very excited meeting new ones. It’s the best experience to me. I’m available anytime. I would be able to do last minute set ups. I’m sometimes away from home around 2-4 pm but that’s not often Everyone in the house loves animals, especially dogs. The most love is given like their our own. We get very excited and take them out for long walks. My dog has been around puppies before and he loves to be around other dogs.
