Dog Sitting Wauconda

“Sarah was amazing! I had a very last minute need for my dog and cat and Sarah responded very quickly and we hashed out the details immediately! I had a few time slots I needed her for at first and then things came up where I needed to cancel a couple of them and she was so quick and helpful to communicate back with me. She was great! Thank you again Sarah!”

About: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Exceptional Dog Walker & Canine Caregiver Jeanine is an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a reliable, experienced, and deeply compassionate dog walker. With years of hands‑on experience as a skilled dog handler, she brings a level of professionalism and calm confidence that immediately puts both pets and owners at ease. Her background includes working with Lutheran Church Charities Comfort Dogs, where she gained extensive experience handling well‑trained, emotionally intuitive dogs in a variety of environments. She has also worked personally with multiple professional canine trainers, giving her a strong understanding of dog behavior, training principles, and safe handling techniques. Jeanine doesn’t just care for dogs—she genuinely loves them. She approaches every dog with patience, gentleness, and respect, treating each one as if they were her own. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, a high‑energy outing, or simply providing comfort and companionship, she is attentive, responsible, and fully present. Pet parents can trust that their dog will be safe, happy, and well‑cared‑for in her hands. Her combination of experience, intuition, and heartfelt love for animals makes her an exceptional choice for anyone looking for a dependable walker or caregiver. If you want someone who will show up with professionalism, kindness, and true dedication to your dog’s well‑being, Jeanine is the one you want. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day and early evening, and I build my commitments around the needs of the pets I care for. Whether a dog needs a consistent daily walk, occasional drop‑ins, or extra time and attention, I’m able to adjust accordingly. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so making space for it in my routine is simple and life‑giving. Caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—is always hands‑on, attentive, and rooted in genuine love for the canine. My own dog is my “fur child,” so I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, seen, and included. At home, we play ball, go for walks, I home‑cook her meals, groom her, and she sleeps right beside me. She’s part of my daily life and activities. That same level of care, intuition, and presence carries into every client’s home. I respect each dog’s routine, personality, and comfort level, and I make sure they feel secure and cared for. Whether it’s following feeding instructions, maintaining training habits, or simply offering companionship and affection, I provide a calm, trustworthy environment where pets can relax and thrive. My goal is always to treat your dog with the same love and attentiveness I give my own.

About: I can use any training tools you use on walks to continue their training. I can take your pup for a run if they have extra energy they need to burn too! I have a part time job allowing me time to walk your furry friend most afternoons/evenings with the occasional morning or weekend walk if needed! I have a dog if your pup wants a friend on their walk or if they need a solo walk that works too! I stay within your neighborhood so we are never far from home keeping the doggies calmer.

About: I have owned and sat dogs since I was a kid, and have always had such a love for them. I have 2 rescues of my own! Dogs really are man’s best friend! I work full time in a preschool and am off all summer! I’m available Monday-Friday 8am-5:00pm! And can make adjustments to fit your schedule if need be! I can do whatever fits your needs, wether that be playing in a backyard/fenced in backyard, walks, dog park, playing some fetch or just popping in for some food and treats!

“Kelsey watched our cat for a week while we were out of town. She was always on time, took great photos and took excellent care of “our boy.” An issue came up with our garage door opening on its own, and Kelsey quickly got in touch with us and manually closed the door. And she made sure our house was secure. She made us feel completely secure knowing our house and our cat were being taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey’s services again.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Watching family and friends dogs gives me great joy! Dogs have been a part of my whole life. I love them dearly, my sister in law travels quite often which gives me the opportunity to watch her two dogs. One is a puppy full of energy and they are so fun to spend time with and play. Love going on walks to the forest preserves out in nature. let me be your dogs new friend. I work four days a week Tuesday thru Friday until 3:30pm. I'm available for boarding Friday nights thru Monday. I can take dogs for walks on Mondays, Weekends, and Tuesday-Friday after 4. I have a big home plenty of space to run around and play. My backyard is good size and fenced in. I can update you with photos of your dog. I can maintain the feeding schedule as required. I will make sure your dog has plenty outdoor time walks or just playing in my yard.

“Angela is a real pro! She did drop-in visits for our dog while we were on vacation. She was always on-time and gave him plenty of attention! She provided updates and photos. I would book her again and recommend her to others!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (15 and 8) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!

About: I currently own three dogs, and have had at least one dog for around 7 years. I have also taken care of pets for family friends and neighbors since even before that. I frequently take my dogs for walks, and I have no allergies to any dog or cat breeds. I am looking to get a summer position so be aware that this could change but currently I am very free and flexible just about whenever you need me. I'm able to take your dogs for plenty of walks and give them plenty of playtime as necessary. Ideally I would prefer to care for your pets in your home, but I can also do in my house if desired. I have 3 dogs that could keep yours company, and they are very sweet as well as decently small. I also have a fully fenced backyard to play in and a spare crate if necessary, although it is only big enough to hold a pet of around 15 pounds or so.

“Lindsey was an awesome sitter and my cats loved her. Communication and coordination was a breeze. I received daily updates and awesome photos of my cats. I trust her with my pets and would definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve been blessed to be a dad to three Labrador Retrievers and they’ve instilled a great sense of love and caring for all dogs. And I’m ready to care for yours with Drop-Ins & Walks. I want my pups to receive warm, focused care and attention, and that’s exactly what your family member will receive. So, if you need help during your work day or don’t want to rush home from an evening out, I’m here to help. I stepped away from Rover the past two years & I’m excited to be back! I work out of my home and have a flexible schedule. So I can take care of your dogs and walk them based on your needs and theirs. Whatever your (and your dog’s) needs are, I’m happy to meet them. Whether it’s a drop-in visit and/or walk, I’ll make sure your dog is happy, safe and well taken care of. And you won’t have to worry one bit about your family member.

“Mallory and her partner were very attentive and communicative! Our cat enjoyed their visit and we knew he was in safe hands, with them. We would recommend them to others, and will definitely contact them again, for future services. Five stars! 🌟”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love caring for them! I’m experienced with different sizes and breeds, personalities, and making sure every pup feels happy. I’m available most weekdays for morning and evening visits, and have open availability on weekends. I keep my schedule flexible and do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible! Your dogs safety and comfort come first. I maintain a clean space, supervise closely, follow routines, and will send updates do you always feel confident!

“Brookelynn was super nice! She took on a drop in visit last minute and made sure my fur baby was well taken care of! She was also very responsive and kept me in the loop every step of the way!”

“Haley and Alex were fantastic! Super reliable and responsive, and they were also incredibly friendly. Our dog is a husky and pitbill mix who gets bad separation anxiety and is also high strung around new people. He warmed up to Haley and Alex right away, and they were well equipped to deal with a more high strung dog. Highly recommend them!”

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.

“Ally did fantastic! She was very tentative and responsive coming to meet my dog and I before heading out of town! She checked in every time and took pictures so I knew my dog was in good hands! She really helped me feel at ease leaving my home and dog for a few days. This was my first time using Rover and I WILL be using Ally again! Highly recommend!”
