Dog Sitting Waukegan

About: I’m an experienced animal lover since 2022. It’s a privilege to be able to take care of your family member and make them happy and comfortable. I love cats, dogs, bunnies, all of the above! I do have a full time job. I'm willing to come by during my lunch break or after work past 5pm. Flexible for weekend schedules. I respect your space. I go where I’m allowed. Portions for food vary per owner and so do the limitations of treats. You tell me the quantity and I will stick to it. I’m excited to try to teach them tricks, throw a ball, or take a walk.

“Nicole did an outstanding job taking care of my cat while I was away! She was consistent in making sure his food, litter, and other necessities were well taken care of. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which assured me that everything was going smoothly. My cat was happy and relaxed when I returned, and I could tell he had been in great hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely trust her with my cat again in the future!”

About: As a person I'm very friendly and responsible and capable . I've got a great demeanor which lends itself well to patiently interacting with all kinds of pets. I am experienced with pups and cats (and many other animals) of all breeds, ages, and sizes. In particular, I have a huge soft spot for young puppies and kittens they are just they cutest thing in the world. I understand that each pet is unique, special, and loved. So I will value providing individualized experiences for every animal. Whether you're looking for a one-time, long-term, as-needed, or on-demand sitter, please don't hesitate to send me a message. . I offer Rover's standard drop ins walks and house sits. Upon request I can also provide extended daytime visits

About: From tiny, to small, to medium, to huge in size...all of them are born with the same loyal heart! If you’re looking for a reliable and trustworthy person who will proudly take out your Doggie/Cat on a roll😃 than I am your match! I’ve always been an animal lover!! I’m so excited to start walking all the 4 legged friends that come across my path. If they have less than 4 that’s absolutely fine too! ♥️💕 NOTICE: I am not available to do mornings on weekdays.. I am able to do late afternoon/evenings from 5 pm and after on Weekdays. I am able to do Fridays from 6 pm and on. Saturday and Sundays are open (anytime) I have a fenced home with my little guy (Yorkie+Maltese Mix 8lbs) to keep your fur baby company I can always keep my pup crated if necessary.

About: Aside from having my own personal dogs in home most of my life I have been volunteering working with and training rescues for 2 years now. Two hours in the Morning, two hours around lunch and all evenings are all free to care for the pets. Walks, fetch and training all available. If dogs are kid and animal friendly I will be able to give them lots of socialization in those environments plus lots of outdoor activity. Have experience working with dogs that don’t interact with other dogs very well.

“Veronique was wonderful with my two huskies- I am always super concerned when I leave them alone & stress over their care. She was great at keeping me updated, sent me consistent updates, photos and videos. It’s important for me that my dogs connect with their sitter and it seems my two connected very well with Veronique. I’d absolutely recommend her and would totally book future sitting appointments with her. Thank you much for caring for my big boys 🐶 🐶”

About: Hello! I’ve taken care of animals of all types for most of my life. I’m always the person everyone in my life comes to first to take care of their dogs/cats/birds/etc. when they’re leaving town, or just want someone to check in on the animals. I’ve always loved dogs and used to volunteer every weekend at shelters helping to take care of the dogs there. Reach out and I’d love to answer any questions you have! My schedule is very flexible right now, so it’s easy for me to be able to drop in to check on your animals. I can usually make it out to your home within a few hours. I won’t be boarding animals in my own home, as I live in an apartment with two of my own cats, however I am always the first to think about safety in your home. Animals will always be leashed outside and if dogs are at all reactive we won’t be walking too near any other people/dogs. If you have specific concerns just let me know and I’ll be happy to accommodate!

About: What sets me apart is my background as a Physician Assistant student, which means I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and used to caring for others with real responsibility. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets, medication administration, and pets who need a little extra patience or monitoring. I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, and safety—whether that’s following feeding instructions to the letter, noticing when something feels “off,” or making sure your pet is comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also have experience with gentle puppy care, reinforcing routines, and providing consistent structure without harsh training methods. Bottom line: I don’t just “watch” pets, I care for them thoughtfully and intentionally, the same way I’m trained to care for patients. Your pet’s well-being always comes first. Weekly Routine: I’m most available Friday through Sunday, which allows for longer visits, flexible scheduling, and unrushed care. I plan my days in advance so walks, feedings, and check-ins happen consistently. Daily Care: I build pet care into my routine, not around it—no last-minute rushing. I follow established schedules closely and ensure each visit receives my full attention. Communication: I’m responsive and proactive with updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how things are going. In short: structured care, flexible weekends, and pets that stay on their routine. I prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment. In a client’s home, I closely follow routines, secure doors and leashes, and respect the space. I’m attentive, careful, and proactive with communication.

About: Having any sort of animal in your life is an irreplaceable piece of therapy, helping dogsit is what I do! I’m a great communicator at all times. I am able to play with very energetic dogs and also could attend an elderly dog. I am very caring and loving and will try my best to make your animal feel comfortable. I used to be a foster mom to six puppies & on the side dogsit a elderly doggy, I also live a block away from the Dog park🎊 I currently work local 9am-5pm, (any open availability will be posted) Through the week I could go on walks and the weekends doggy sleepovers for doggy parents could go enjoy themselves! Don’t feel guilty leaving them at home just drop them off with auntie Leila 🐶🦮🐾🦴😇💕 I have no pets & no children, I have no yard but I live in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of sidewalk for good walks.

“Julie was so wonderful with our cat who needs subcutaneous fluids injected daily. She updated us with a very detailed report on how our cat did (awesome under her care) and gave us many photos which is always so great when you’re away from your precious pet. Would highly recommend, especially for anyone who is worried about giving their furry friend meds while they are away.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 including my hound and lab for the last 9 years. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and use dog walks as exercise. I’m flexible, patient and detail-oriented. I’m attending graduate school in the fall and spring with lots of availability in the summer. During the school year, my schedule varies but most of my evenings are free. I will go over any specific instructions with you prior to walks or pet sitting. I am happy to discuss any concerns or special needs!

About: I’ve worked hands-on with animals for over 12 years through shelters, rescue organizations, fostering, and TNR work. I’ve cared for everything from neonatal kittens to senior and special-needs animals, including medication administration and post-op recovery care. I’m calm, reliable, and experienced with animals that may be nervous, shy, energetic, or need extra patience. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. With my current work schedule, I’m available early mornings (5–6 AM) before work, again around noon, and throughout the evening. I make pets a top priority and can also provide late-evening check-ins to help pets settle in comfortably for the night. Based on your pet’s normal routine and comfort level, I can accommodate leash walks, supervised backyard time, or longer walks and exercise as needed.

About: I’ve grown up with a taken care of dogs my entire life. We have a lively and loving home full of two children and our 1.5 year old dog. I will make sure your dog is fed, played with, walked and loved on constantly. I am currently a med student, so I have classes from 8 am until about 2 pm and then I’m available to be home studying and taking breaks to walk and love on your pet. We have an apartment so no fenced yards here unfortunately. But we have walking trails around the complex and I would love to walk your pet around there. I have two children (2 and 7) who are ultimate animal lovers too. I have a 1.5 year old dog who loves all animals. She is very high energy but extremely sweet and non aggressive.

About: I've been around animals of all kinds my entire life; cats, dogs, fish, iguanas, guinea pigs, rats...you name it! I've been the go-to sitter for my friends and family for years and take great pride in providing in-home care to their furry (or scaly) family members. There isn't a bigger lover of animals out there! I am the Development Director for ALIVE Rescue in Salem Lakes, WI and volunteer with the animals on a weekly basis. I am certified in fear free training and have experience handling dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and temperaments from puppies to seniors. I have a reputation for cultivating immediate bonds with those that are often considered shy, timid, or unsure of people. I have a special place in my heart for these kind souls and truly believe that all they are is miss-understood. I do my best to offer them a safe space to be themselves – whatever that might look like. I take my time to earn their trust and let them drive how much and how quickly we interact. I believe in my heart of hearts that animals are the purest form of love we have on this planet, and I think they are able to feel that through my energy. I work from home full time which allows me to pay extra special attention to your fur babies. I can make frequent potty breaks, administer medications, or just provide love and cuddles throughout the day. Your pet is my number one priority, I'm here to help you and your fur baby and will take any and all care instructions to heart. I think it's important to keep any schedules and routines as consistent as possible and will take just as good care of your home as I will your four legged angels.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I was always involved with the care process for my family's dogs from walking, feeding, bathing, etc. I also grew up pet-sitting for my neighbors two labs so I have experience working with larger breeds. I currently have a corgi-shiba inu mix of my own who is the absolute love of my life! I would love the opportunity to bond with your pet and offer my services! I am trustworthy, accommodating, and able to adapt to the needs of you and your pet. I love spending my time outdoors and would love to take your dog on a safe, fun, and adventurous walk! I am a medical student currently on summer break until August. During this time I will be working remotely so I have flexibility to take your pup on a walk or stop in for whatever they made need whenever you may need! I am cognizant of ensuring safe conditions for pups on both walks and in-home visits! I am always respectful of others' homes and belongings and will treat your pet like my own while they are in my care. I understand every dog has different quirks and needs when walking and would love to discuss your individual dog's needs!

“Isabella did a wonderful job! I felt so comfortable while I was away. She took so many pictures of the kitty and made sure he was comfortable and happy!”
