If I could leave 10 stars I would. Jill and her family were the best! I broke my tibia and fibula back in July and it’s been hard handling an 100+ pound German Shepherd so I was nervous about leaving him with other people, but I was so wrong. In these few days Jill has helped him calm down and just slow down in general. I was able to walk him for the first time in 6 months because of her. It’s like I have a new dog, I cried lol. I can’t believe how above and beyond she went. I’m so grateful to have come across her profile because I have been contemplating on giving him to someone who could handle him but I don’t have to do that now. She was always amazing with sending little pics and updates. Big shout out to Jill and the fam❤️ 100000/10 Forsureeee

Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.

About: I am the definition of an animal lover, which I attribute to having had animals around my entire life. I grew up with Australian shepherds, German shepherds, cats, hamsters, and even tarantulas! I am extremely comfortable walking dogs, giving them medication via food, and managing when to let them out to go to the bathroom. I’m also willing to give a big furry dog a good brush if they need it! I have lived primarily with big dogs, but have had close relationships with small dogs through friends and my husband’s family whom I have dog sat for in the past. In addition, I am a massive cat lover. I was given a kitten when I was 8 years old and had her for 19 years until she just recently passed. In her senior years, she had both hypothyroidism and asthma so I am well-versed in giving cats inhalers and medication in various forms (via dropper, ear application, in treats, and in food). I am a dependable dog and cat sitter/caretaker because I know how much your animal means to you. I’m an extremely organized person so you can count on me to be reliable with pick-up, drop-off, and everything in between. Taking care of your animal would not be a job to me because I am so happy to do it! I work twice a week so I could watch an animal full time during three weekdays in addition to weekends. I am still more than willing to watch animal for an entire week and either modify my work schedule to be with them more, or just make sure they are set up for the days I am in office. I have a non-smoking home with one cat and two people including myself. My home would be an extremely relaxing environment for a pet and due to my flexible schedule, I can dedicate nearly full-time care to an animal. Since I have a cat, I would only really be able to have dogs stay overnight for a couple-day stint since I'd prefer to keep them separate. In my client's home I would offer the same care in addition to respecting the environment. I'm naturally a very clean person and always pick up after myself.

Carla did a great job watching and taken care of our dog Lizzo while we were out of town. She always provided amazing updates, photographs and videos of our pet, so we had a peace of mind. Lizzo seemed very happy and comfortable at her home. She play with her two dogs, especially her sweet heart Stella. At night, Lizzo slept with Carla. We are luck to have her because Carla really went above and beyond to take care of our dog. She is very trust worthy and caring and definitely recommend her.

Rusty was a great match for our Frankie. At the meet and greet he asked many questions to get to know Frankie's personality. We left him for 10 nights and had daily pictures/movies of Frankie. Frankie is a senior and in the hot days of July his comfort was considered. It was nice to leave him in good care.

About: Ive been around dogs all my life, whether that be family dogs or neighbors dogs that I would visit all the time and watched grow up, I’ve had 3 dogs in the last 10 years and currently have a working breed puppy under 1 year old. I’ve been doing all of her training at home and have been teaching basic skills to my pets for 9+ years! I work full time from 7-2 Wednesday through Sunday, I’m available for sitting, walking, and if your dog is dog friendly I can take it and my puppy to any nearby dog park/ open field (with long leads) and let them burn off some steam! Have any weird quirks when it comes to your beloved pet? I’ll gladly work with anything you may throw at me! I’d love to help keep your pet entertained and exercised whenever you need a helping hand! I have a couple of snuffle mats I can bring by if your pup needs a little extra enrichment!

I was really nervous leaving my 9 month month old kitty and 18 year old cat at home for 5 days while i was gone, but Rachel was such a wonderful sitter, and provided me with wonderful photos and thoughtful, detailed updates while i was gone that really put my mind at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Rachel really went above and beyond to make sure my cats were well taken care of, played with and happy. She even brought a few toys and treats for them to play with! And my 18 year old cat needed a topical medicine in her ear each day, which Rachel applied to her no problem… meaning my cat really trusts her. I almost think my cats were a little disappointed to see me instead of Rachel opening the door when i got home yesterday haha! Thanks so much Rachel - we will absolutely be in touch the next time we need a sitter!! I highly recommend her :)

I am patient and I believe in positive reinforcement. I love to take photos of the pets I sit and txt them to the owners while they are away! I know how we all miss our furbabies when we are apart.

About: I focus on building trust so pets feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies (basic training and routines) and senior dogs (gentle care, patience, and medication support). Every pet is treated like family. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home. I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, so pets get consistent attention and care rather than being left alone. I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment, whether in my home or the client’s. I supervise pets closely, follow their routines, and ensure they have fresh water, proper meals, and plenty of attention. I focus on building trust, reducing stress, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and secure.

About: It’s been a while since I offered services, but I’m getting back into it and would love to care for your babies! I have always been a dog owner - if I could rescue every dog in the world I would! Instead, I'll gladly help take care of other peoples' angels and call it a day. I recently lost my dog of 12 years and am ready to pour my puppy love into your dogs. I work from home so will always be around. I work from home so am always around - your dog will not be left alone! I will only accept bookings for days and times that I have nothing else planned so I can keep my focus on your animal! I have a yard that is partially fenced, so I will take your pup on walks or only be outside with them leashed. I take safety seriously!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have also had a small private pet/house sitting business for the past 12 years. I have a lot of experience feeding pets with strict/special diets using oils, powders, crushed up supplements etc. and administering medicine including insulin injections. I’ve cared for dogs with disabilities and senior pets and puppies too. I love playing, walking, and just hanging out with them and giving lots of cuddles. I am a Nanny during the week, but have a somewhat flexible schedule. I generally can work the pet sitting routine into my work schedule so they are always well cared for and get plenty of attention. For boarding, my husband is home during the day and can take great care of your pets too. I am available to drop in or walk early mornings, evenings and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday’s. Pet sitting in your home - I basically “move in” for the time you are away. I follow your routine and house rules and spend most of my time in your home making sure your pets needs are met. This is especially good if there are separation anxiety issues. Boarding - I provide all loving care in my home making sure pets are comfortable, safe, and happy. Drop in- I will stop at your home and let dogs out, feed & water, play, etc. for no less than 20 minutes. I can also care for cats if you have them. Walks- I will come by, whether you are home or away, and take the dog(s) for a walk. I can feed and water too.

I felt like I had an entire team to meet their needs with Debbie as captain. I appreciated the photos and texts to know our family pets were In good hands.

Megan is friendly, very good with observations and feedback, shares photos and updates throughout the day. Her home is very dog friendly, clean, and safe. Seeing her post on Rover and after our first visit to meet our dogs, it was easy to trust her with our two dogs. They were immediately happy and calm at her home.

About: My dog passed away a few years ago and I miss him every day, but my family is not in a place to have a full time dog right now. However, I work from home and I’d love to have a doggie “coworker” who needs a buddy during the day. I have provided care to multiple dogs and can provide references if you need them. As mentioned, I currently work full time from home. Both of my children are in school all day so it’s just me in the house. I do have drop off and pick up to work around but we can discuss. I work out of a home office and can have the dog in the office with me all day. They can be in a dog bed or sitting on my lap if they’re small enough. I’ll take them on frequent walks and make sure they get adequate exercise. We have a gazebo and I'd be happy to sit outside with your dog so they get fresh air too (weather permitting).

About: 20 + years with puppies. 5 years dog sitting. This is my main business due to my existing clients. I do require a meet and greet prior to accepting a new guest. Because the safety of all of my guests is number 1 priority. Lots of love, playtime and attention. All puppies are considered guests and treated as part of the family during their stay. My guests are excited to come to Auntie MO's for there vacation while you are on vacation. During nice weather I leave the back door open so they are free to go out when they want to. Huge backyard that is fenced in. Puppy pools during summer. Guests are allowed on furniture hence the name Spoiled Puppies. Flexible on drop off and pickup up times. No extra charge for Sunday pickups. Perfect for weekend getaways. I can also accommodate all special needs for your baby also.

About: I've lived with dogs almost my entire life, and adopted my first dog 15 years ago. I've since owned two Border Collies, who both participated in advanced agility and obedience work. I'm comfortable with high-drive, working breeds as well as your typical pet dogs. I have also trained and lived with Golden Retrievers, Labs, Pitties, Havanese and Shih Tzus, so I'm familiar with a wide range of breeds, and I've cared for dogs in all stages of life -- from puppies to seniors. Whether your pup is a cuddle-loving couch potato or a ride-or-die adventure pal, they'll fit in great here! I currently work from home most days, and homeschool my two kids (ages 10 and 12). I have a very flexible schedule and am always up to go for a hike or play fetch between various family activities, or to snuggle up on the couch with a good book and a pup to cuddle. Your pet will be surrounded by a friendly family environment, and included in the daily routine I follow with my own dogs! I have a fenced in yard and am located near many lovely nature trails as well as a fully walk-able neighborhood including access to the McHenry Riverwalk only a block away! Daily walks never get boring with so many options available. Whether I'm strolling down the block to watch the geese on the river, or hitting up a local trail, every day is fun and interesting. If our dogs get along these can be joint adventures, but if your dog is more of a solo adventurer I am happy to walk and play separately!

About: I am the definition of an animal lover, which I attribute to having had animals around my entire life. I grew up with Australian shepherds, German shepherds, cats, hamsters, and even tarantulas! I am extremely comfortable walking dogs, giving them medication via food, and managing when to let them out to go to the bathroom. I’m also willing to give a big furry dog a good brush if they need it! I have lived primarily with big dogs, but have had close relationships with small dogs through friends and my husband’s family whom I have dog sat for in the past. In addition, I am a massive cat lover. I was given a kitten when I was 8 years old and had her for 19 years until she just recently passed. In her senior years, she had both hypothyroidism and asthma so I am well-versed in giving cats inhalers and medication in various forms (via dropper, ear application, in treats, and in food). I am a dependable dog and cat sitter/caretaker because I know how much your animal means to you. I’m an extremely organized person so you can count on me to be reliable with pick-up, drop-off, and everything in between. Taking care of your animal would not be a job to me because I am so happy to do it! I work twice a week so I could watch an animal full time during three weekdays in addition to weekends. I am still more than willing to watch animal for an entire week and either modify my work schedule to be with them more, or just make sure they are set up for the days I am in office. I have a non-smoking home with one cat and two people including myself. My home would be an extremely relaxing environment for a pet and due to my flexible schedule, I can dedicate nearly full-time care to an animal. Since I have a cat, I would only really be able to have dogs stay overnight for a couple-day stint since I'd prefer to keep them separate. In my client's home I would offer the same care in addition to respecting the environment. I'm naturally a very clean person and always pick up after myself.

About: I've been around dogs since I've had a working memory. From friend's, family's, neighbor's to my own I've watched and cared for many different dogs of many different sizes and needs. Dogs are a joy and a privilege to care for and deserve the best. I've worked with pups to pops and enjoy both :) I currently work part time in the mornings. Whether your pet/s need to be fed/let out, walked or just needs company I know I'll find time to give them the attention and care they deserve. If I'm pet sitting, I'm able to stay in you're home and give your pets all the attention they could dream of. Chill, lazy dog? Nothing like relaxing outside or watching TV getting pets and cuddles. Adventurous hounds? Lots of walks and play. I tailor the pet care your fur babies need to fit their lives and personalities. I work 1:1 with pet families so that your pets get all of my attention.

If I could leave 10 stars I would. Jill and her family were the best! I broke my tibia and fibula back in July and it’s been hard handling an 100+ pound German Shepherd so I was nervous about leaving him with other people, but I was so wrong. In these few days Jill has helped him calm down and just slow down in general. I was able to walk him for the first time in 6 months because of her. It’s like I have a new dog, I cried lol. I can’t believe how above and beyond she went. I’m so grateful to have come across her profile because I have been contemplating on giving him to someone who could handle him but I don’t have to do that now. She was always amazing with sending little pics and updates. Big shout out to Jill and the fam❤️ 100000/10 Forsureeee

Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.

About: I am the definition of an animal lover, which I attribute to having had animals around my entire life. I grew up with Australian shepherds, German shepherds, cats, hamsters, and even tarantulas! I am extremely comfortable walking dogs, giving them medication via food, and managing when to let them out to go to the bathroom. I’m also willing to give a big furry dog a good brush if they need it! I have lived primarily with big dogs, but have had close relationships with small dogs through friends and my husband’s family whom I have dog sat for in the past. In addition, I am a massive cat lover. I was given a kitten when I was 8 years old and had her for 19 years until she just recently passed. In her senior years, she had both hypothyroidism and asthma so I am well-versed in giving cats inhalers and medication in various forms (via dropper, ear application, in treats, and in food). I am a dependable dog and cat sitter/caretaker because I know how much your animal means to you. I’m an extremely organized person so you can count on me to be reliable with pick-up, drop-off, and everything in between. Taking care of your animal would not be a job to me because I am so happy to do it! I work twice a week so I could watch an animal full time during three weekdays in addition to weekends. I am still more than willing to watch animal for an entire week and either modify my work schedule to be with them more, or just make sure they are set up for the days I am in office. I have a non-smoking home with one cat and two people including myself. My home would be an extremely relaxing environment for a pet and due to my flexible schedule, I can dedicate nearly full-time care to an animal. Since I have a cat, I would only really be able to have dogs stay overnight for a couple-day stint since I'd prefer to keep them separate. In my client's home I would offer the same care in addition to respecting the environment. I'm naturally a very clean person and always pick up after myself.

Carla did a great job watching and taken care of our dog Lizzo while we were out of town. She always provided amazing updates, photographs and videos of our pet, so we had a peace of mind. Lizzo seemed very happy and comfortable at her home. She play with her two dogs, especially her sweet heart Stella. At night, Lizzo slept with Carla. We are luck to have her because Carla really went above and beyond to take care of our dog. She is very trust worthy and caring and definitely recommend her.

Don’t wait to book your dog’s stay with Debbie and her lovely family! She gave our 6 month Golden Retriever so much love and attention while we were away. We’ve already rebooked with Debbie for our next trip. She kept us updated with photos and made us feel at ease. Thank you Debbie!!

Rusty was a great match for our Frankie. At the meet and greet he asked many questions to get to know Frankie's personality. We left him for 10 nights and had daily pictures/movies of Frankie. Frankie is a senior and in the hot days of July his comfort was considered. It was nice to leave him in good care.

Loved having Jess take care of our big pup! He was welcomed into her family for our extended vacation and he immediately felt comfortable and at home! (He’s a little anxious so this was a big deal!). We got regular updates and photos. Will 100% use her again!

I loved leaving my Yogi at JoAnne’s. She was very welcoming, anxious to make sure I was comfortable with her house and her puppy and she had a calm friendly manner. Yogi ran right in, met her dog and started playing, JoAnne sent me several very cute pictures of Yogi playing and resting, so I could see that he was having a good time. I would hire her again if she is available.
