“Jae and her family were amazing to my sweet puppy. I could not have asked for a better family to take care of my dog; we felt absolutely blessed to have such a perfect home when we were gone. The entire family treated her like she was part of the family, and I always felt comforted on my vacation to receive pictures of my dog enjoying her days with her interim family. I will absolutely only use Jae now. And our dogs have become great friends too, so what an incredible bonus!”

“Melissa was very responsive, forth right and welcoming to my puppy. She put my mind at ease last night when I dropped her off for an overnight stay. She’s a sweet young lady and happy to recommend her. Lots a parks around and green even through in an apartment. Excellent place.”

“Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.”

“We were worried leaving Luka with a new sitter for such a long time. Luka can be "a bit much" at times. The pictures we got were great and he looked REALLY happy. I was very relieved to see him looking happy and comfortable.”

“Deidre was able to take our labradoodle on short notice, on a holiday weekend, and then was able to extend his stay when we needed it. Very friendly, very flexible, very acommodating. thank you!”

“Prithvi and Varun were truly great!! This was our first time using Rover, and we were unsure of the whole process. Prithvi walked us through everything, we had a great meet and greet, and they were so responsive. We just finished our booking and every day we got updates and pictures, and immediate responses. I felt so comfortable having my dog with them, and plan on using them again. Very positive and great experience!”


“Cecilia took excellent care of our dog. She sent pictures and updates and had no trouble giving him his prescription pills. I could tell when I met her that she genuinely loves dogs and treats the dogs who stay with her as if they are her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again with Cecilia.”


“Michelle watched our Prudence again, on short notice! She took such good care of her and kept us updated the whole time. The second we dropped her off, Prudence was so excited to see Michelle and seemed to have had a great time upon pickup!”

“Our dog Ozzy has a great stay with Jacob! He is sometimes nervous when we are out of town but when we dropped Ozzy off with Jacob he made him feel comfortable right away and when we picked Ozzy up he was happy and relaxed - it was obvious he had been well cared for and loved. We really enjoyed the photos and updates Jacob sent each day!”
“Rhondarose is INCREDIBLE! Our dog’s second visit with Rhondarose and her family went perfect. She thoroughly communicated with us and sent great pictures while we were away with updates of how she was doing. Our dog had so much fun and was pooped upon picking her up- evidence of a great time!”

“Our cat is usually very very shy and would never show herself to people other than family, but Kati was able to befriend her during her short stay, which was a relieve for us. She made sure our cat had some nice company while we were away and we would definitely ask Kati to take care of our cat again on a different trip.”

“This was our fifth time booking with Amanda and we will always book her again! She takes such good care of our babies and always has the best notes and pictures. Definitely recommend her to watch your furry children. She is super trustworthy and thorough.”

“Kayla did a great job with drop in visits - she was an excellent communicator and always kept me updated on Mushroom! Additionally, she was very patient and understand when faced with issues getting into my apartment unit. I’d trust Kayla to take care of Mushroom anytime!”


“Shawna was amazing with our cat! It was our first time leaving our cat after he got sick, and he's also an older cat, so we were a little bit nervous leaving him alone. He's usually really shy and hides from strangers but he warmed to her right away during our meet and greet. Shawna came every day to check in on him and administered the oral meds he needed, fed him, cleaned the litter, and gave him plenty of nuzzles and pets. We also got daily updates with pics. We felt so much better knowing that he was in good hands.”

“Katerina did an amazing job stopping in to check on our cats while we were out of town! She was very flexible when our plans changed last minute and she kept us up to date with photos the entire time we were gone. I would definitely recommend her and I would have her watch our cats again in the future!”

“Mallory was wonderful, we booked her to drop in on our 2 cats for 2 weeks. Every day she fed and watered them, emptied the litterbox, gave them some love and treats! It saved us so much stress knowing she was watching them!”

“Becca did a great job watching my cat—super responsive and easy to work with. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I need a sitter. Highly recommend!”

“Christina did such a great job taking care of our cat, Sox. It's clear that she is very knowledgeable about animal behavior, and it allowed us to have a worry-free trip. I especially enjoyed her clever and informative updates, the pictures she sent at each visit, and the fun video of Sox at play. He was happy to see us when we returned, and he showed no evidence of stress whatsoever. Christina proved to be very reliable, and I would not hesitate to ask her to check in on Sox the next time we're away!”


“Hannah did a fantastic job with our cat Frankie! They got on really well and had lots of cuddles, and she kept us well informed with how things were going. Recommended!”

About: I provide attentive, high-quality care tailored to each dog’s needs. I’m experienced with structured routines, leash handling, and reading dog behavior to ensure a safe and positive environment. Whether your dog needs exercise, structure, or just extra affection, I deliver dependable, top-tier care every time. My schedule is currently flexible as I am in between work allowing me to be available morning-evenings. Whether you’re looking for a morning walk or running late from work I can be there. I try to keep things as normal as possible for your dog while you’re gone. I follow your routine, make sure they’re well-fed, walked, and getting plenty of attention. I’m also very respectful of your home and keep everything clean and in order.
About: “Dog fever” doesn’t even begin to cover it — my girlfriend and I are counting down the days until we can bring home a new puppy. I’m the kind of person who can’t pass a dog on the street without stopping to say hello, so you can imagine how excited I get around animals. I’m a private contractor working remotely with a very flexible schedule. I can shift my day to day schedule and adapt to most needs you may have. I am a very attentive person with patience and much affection. I hope to keep your pets routine consistent & stress-free with exercise, playtime, or just extra attention.
“Sara treated my sweet 8 yo cat with love and affection! She sent great updates, pics, and responded quickly. It’s clear how much she loves taking care of animals. Will definitely book again! 😊”


“Darien did a wonderful job looking after our senior cat! She took great care of him and also looked after our house to make sure there were no messes - she even took our garbage out and brought packages in! She went above and beyond and we would highly recommend her! Thank you, Darien!”

About: I am a retired high school educator, artist, outdoor enthusiast, and animal lover. I am a five-star walker and a very reliable and compassionate caregiver for your pet. I often feel we are kindred spirits and I am totally intrigued by their individual personalities. I have cared for dogs both personally or professionally for most of my life and willingly care for your pet and their individual needs. Whether it be exploring adventure, padding the neighborhood (walking or running), gifting belly rubs, or providing hydration & nutrition, your pet’s needs will be personalized while in my care with much love and affection. In the future, I hope to rehabilitate dogs and work with their family members to provide a safe space filled with discipline, affection, and a true sense of belonging. You can depend on me and trust that your pet will feel cherished and loved while in my care. Since retiring from teaching, my hours of 1:1 attention have expanded. I am now available to give full weekday hours to your pet in addition to my time during weekends. While caring for pets in parks and neighborhoods, I keep them on a leash during all walks and runs. If we are lounging in the yard I provide the dog an opportunity to relax on a lead while I am outdoors with them. For owners who allow their dogs to visit Lakewood Dog Park’s expansive exercise area, I monitor those dogs while they run and play off leash under my constant supervision. While indoors, I follow the rules that my pet owners prefer whether it be cuddling on furniture and slumbering in bed with me or crating them within their cozy caves with their favorite snuggle toy. I do everything I can to mirror the eating, playing, and napping comfort with the same positive experiences your pet receives in your living home while throwing in a little extra spoiling 🐶❤️🐶

“Jen was a fantastic pet sitter for our cats. She arrived on time, was reliable, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in such good hands!”


About: Cat Care Experience In addition to my extensive dog‑handling background, I also have experience caring for cats. For three years I had two wonderful cats of my own—a calico named Cuddles and a sweet, gentle cat named Little Bit. They were part of my daily life, and I handled all their feeding, grooming, playtime, and care routines. Although I no longer have cats due to my husband’s allergies, I truly enjoy them and understand their unique personalities, body language, and need for a calm, respectful environment. I’m comfortable with shy cats, affectionate cats, and independent cats alike, and I’m attentive to their cues so they feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, or simply offering quiet companionship, I provide the same level of love, intuition, and hands‑on care for cats as I do for dogs.

“We’ve been using Doug as a pet sitter for a while now, and we highly recommend him. Doug is not only reliable but also genuinely enthusiastic about caring for our cats. We never have to worry about anything when they’re in his care. He ensures they get plenty of attention, including playtime and cuddles, which helps keep them happy while we’re away. Our cats require daily medication, and Doug handles this with ease, showing he’s comfortable with more complex care needs. I highly recommend his services to anyone—your pets will be in excellent hands, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re well cared for.”

About: Dog boarding at The Mutt House in Mundelein! We just celebrated our 12 YEAR ANNIVERSARY here at The Mutt House ! It has been a wonderful adventure and I continue to enjoy meeting new families and their furry family members. This is my passion and my focus- this is not just a side job to me- I take it very seriously and your dogs safety and comfort is my priority. They become part of the family while staying with us. The Mutt House is the perfect vacation destination for the (ALREADY) WELL-SOCIALIZED dog while you are enjoying your vacation with peace of mind. ( See note on which breeds I can not accept).. ( Please include PICTURE OF YOUR PUP with request) —————————— Your dog will enjoy a safe, large fenced in yard and plenty of room to roam around our smoke-free home. They are also welcome to lounge on the couch or wherever they are comfortable. We also take a lot of potty breaks and enjoy the outdoors when weather allows. I will send daily pictures and updates directly to your phone, so that you will have peace of mind while away! A few other things to note: 1) Dogs must be spayed/neutered to stay here. 2) Re: DOGS I CAN NOT BOARD: - I can not board dogs with anxiety issues or dogs that are not already socialized with other dogs. - I can not board Huskies, Pits or Pit Mixes, Guarding Breeds, Extreme High Energy Breeds (Australian Shepherd, Boarder Collie) 3) **Please no late drop offs. It takes a while for the dogs to adjust to each other and most settle down for the night by 8:00...so ideally before 5pm is appreciated...We can discuss at our meet and greet. 4) If you live within 10 miles of Mundelein, I am happy to pick up and drop off your dog for you. (Fee depends on distance ) I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you for your consideration. *********************************************** About my yard: Spacious fenced-in yard (see pictures). The fence is 6” tall and is routinely examined for safety. My experience administering medication: I am able to administer oral medications and injections. I am home all day- if anything, I may run out to the store or to pickup/drop off my children nearby. My focus is to be home for your dog. We have a safe yard in which I keep the gate locked at all times. We also have an extra “catch” gate going out to the garage so dogs can’t sneak out.
“Alesia and ger family were super sweet with Mishka! They let him borrow a tennis ball to play fetch because I forgot to bring his. Her daughter even drew a beautiful picture of him and she is the most talented!! He came home happy and tired.”

About: Growing up I was raised in a very pet friendly household surrounded by animal lovers. I have kept this quality well into my adult years and have made it my mission to extend love and respect to every animal I meet and care for. Dog or cat, they will be treated kindly and with respect. As I am currently attending school from home, I am available weekdays for visits in the mornings and/or evenings. Unfortunately afternoons I am not available. I make it my duty to learn about every animals individual needs; their likes, dislikes, and sensitivities. I will make sure to keep on hand any emergency information such as general vet and emergency vet details. At the first sign of issue, I will make sure your animal will receive the care they need while keeping you in the loop every step of the way.

“Kyle did an amazing job with Merlin! He watched him for about a week during our family’s move, and with her to send pictures and videos to keep us updated while we missed him. Great communication! We highly recommend Kyle”
