“Byron was very responsive and great at easing Bear's separation anxiety after I dropped him off. Bear even ate his dinner, which he rarely does at a new place. Will definitely use again!”

“Swagata was absolutely amazing in accommodating a last-minute request. I reached out to her late at night due to an urgent appointment the following morning, and she graciously accepted without hesitation. I already knew Tommy was in good hands since he had a great experience with her previously. Throughout the time, Swagata kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind. Her warmth and attentiveness truly show how much she cares for pets. Tommy was happy and relaxed, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and loving pet care. I’ll definitely be revisiting!”

“Jordan is an excellent dog sitter! She is very responsible and took care of our 4 month old Cavapoo like he was her own. Her house is very neat and clean and her yard is big. Churro got along so well with her 4 year old dog, Benji. We highly recommend Jordan and look forward to Churro staying with her when we are on vacation soon!”

About: Ask me how to get $20 off your first Rover booking with me! Hola- Hablo Español, también! Hello there! I am a dog cat and chicken mama myself and love to be around all animals. I have owned and babysat chickens, cats, and dogs since i was little. I am very patient and loving towards animals and would love to care for your fur baby as per your requests while you are away. I work at home full time so I am up early and will spend full days with your pet. Let me know of any special requests and I will be happy to fulfill them! Located in Gurnee IL. I work from home full time and have a highly social and playful dog. During the day your boarded babies will play with Bentley (my dog) and nap on the bed in my office to jazz and classical music. During my break I usually walk my dog midday or late afternoon. If your dog or cat is not boarded, after 11A I am free to pop over and check on your fur babies and spend some time with them. My dog and cats safety at home are a high priority, I keep my home clean and free of anything they might chew or choke on. As well as all chemicals and other hazards showed away in cabinets they are unable to open. For my anxious dog I keep classical music on throughout the house to create a peaceful environment. Your pooch will feel at ease in my home and will always be watched and cared for. I make sure to send plenty of pictures and videos to update you on their mood and how their day is going. Nothing better than getting reassurance that your fur baby is in the best hands!! In your home I will watch them the entire time while they are playing and eating to make sure they are okay and haven’t gotten into any trouble.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently care for my own 75 lb goldendoodle, so I’m very comfortable handling large, high-energy dogs. Growing up, I regularly cared for my cousins’ and family friends’ dogs while they were on vacation, which gave me experience managing different breeds, temperaments, and routines. Being trusted with their pets taught me how important reliability, communication, and consistency are when someone is away from home. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, structure, and lots of attention. I’m experienced with: • Large breeds • High-energy dogs • Basic leash training and reinforcement • Maintaining feeding schedules • Administering oral medications • Long walks and active play I’m responsible, communicative, and always provide photo updates so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a structured walk, playtime, or overnight care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I work remotely during the week, which allows me to be flexible and attentive throughout the day. Since I already structure my routine around caring for my own dog, adding additional pet care fits in very naturally. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, and I’m especially flexible on weekends. If boarding, dogs receive regular potty breaks, exercise, and attention, and are not left alone. I intentionally plan my schedule to ensure every pet receives consistent care and supervision. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because I have my own 75 lb goldendoodle, I only accept dogs/cats that are friendly with other dogs and introduce them slowly and calmly to ensure everyone feels comfortable. My home is clean, dog-friendly, and free of hazards. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, crate preferences, and any specific instructions provided. Dogs are supervised and receive structured walks, playtime, and rest. During walks, I use secure leashing practices and remain attentive at all times. I never take dogs off-leash unless explicitly permitted in a safe, enclosed area. When house sitting, I am respectful of your home, maintain cleanliness, and provide consistent updates with photos so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. Clear communication and structured care are extremely important to me, I want every owner to feel confident their pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: As an experienced, full time dog sitter, I'm here to provide your small to medium sized dog a safe, clean, & cozy home environment. If your dog is not comfortable in a kennel, I'm your answer. As a former paraprofessional for children with special needs, and a mom, I have the experience and loving heart to meet your dog's emotional and structural needs. BOARDING: The core of my business is overnight sitting in my smoke-free home environment. Your dog will get my love and attention all day and through the night. No crating unless you request it. Protected mealtimes, proper rest, and outdoor time in my fenced in backyard. Whether your dog sleeps in a crate, a floor bed, or in my bed, I am there with your dog all night long. My mission is to keep your dog happy and healthy, and give owners peace of mind. You will receive photos and updates by text messaging throughout your dog's stay. Check out my photo gallery! Resident dog, Hawkeye, is a "Teddy Bear", (mix of Shih Tzu, Bichon Frise, and Poodle). He does not shed, and is hypoallergenic. His personality is calm and relaxed, except when the garbage trucks come by. 😉 DAYCARE: Offered only as needed for existing customers. CHECK-IN SERVICES: If you have a larger dog or cats, I can stop by to let your dogs outside, provide food and water, & clean litter boxes. On an as needed basis only, not full time. ABOUT ME: I love getting to know and care for guest dogs, and have been living with and learning about dogs for over 8 years as an owner, and over 7 years as a host. A love for dogs (and all animals) is so natural, enjoyable, and rewarding for me. My approach with dogs is based on the philosophy of Temple Grandin's “Animals in Translation” research to fulfill a dog's emotional needs first. Prior to this, for 5 years, I was a paraprofessional with the Special Education District of Lake County (SEDOL). I have experience in ABA therapy for children with autism, positive reinforcement, crisis management, and classroom management. Pet care IS my daily routine. Your pet will settle in quickly as she/he always has a person to depend on, and my friendly dog keeping watch over her/him. Your dog will enjoy outdoor freedom, fresh cold filtered water, protected meal times, comfy beds and furniture for lounging, and a nice lady who cares as much about your peace of mind as she does about your precious pet. A safe environment is a must, that’s why I have a fenced in yard, and a three door system for entering and leaving the house. I keep a clean house too.

About: I grew up with a dog and loved him very much. He passed away, and the family has not yet gotten another, but I miss caring for a dog. I love all dogs and cats of any size and any animal, for that matter. I am incredibly attentive to animals and always love giving them care, even when they are not mine. I am almost always home and able to pet sit through the day and overnight. I am currently in college, but taking classes online, so I am constantly available to tend to your pet's needs. I am a very active person who can take your pet on walks or runs more than once each day if need be. If your pet enjoys resting, I will also do it with them as I complete work on my computer and will pay close attention to them or snuggle with them if it's what they like. I will care for each pet depending on their specific needs, whether they need to have walks, use the bathroom often, or receive personal care. My home is very safe for pets, as it was already set up for a dog in the past with carpeted stairs and a yard to play in. The yard has a fence around part of it, but it is still open, so if I take your pet outside to play, I will use a leash and keep them in the yard safely separated from any danger. The only other person living in the home will be my mother, who is also an animal lover, but is generally at work during weekdays.
