Pet Sitting in Waukegan

“This was the second time that Swagata took care of Jojo. She's truly amazing with Cats!! She came for drop-in visit, she followed all the instructions and also spent some playtime with Jojo... I was so glad that she did... I will 100% recommend her if you're looking for a caring pet sitter...”

“Teri was an excellent catsitter and really helped put our minds at ease that our cat would be well cared for while we were away. Teri was very commutative and flexible and we appreciated the detailed daily updates about our cat. We would definitely recommended and rebook with her!”

“Patient and has a good vibe all around. Happy we went with her! We feel comfortable having her with our dog. He can be a lot but she doesn’t seem shy or uncomfortable being around him.”

“Did an awesome job with all 4 of my pets! Especially with such cold weather during the time she was dropping in on them. Took lots of photos and communicated when necessary! Would book again and highly recommend.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, from the puppy years all the way up to saying goodbye. I have many years of experience in handing dogs and caring for them. Throughout the years I have dog sat neighbors and friends dogs. Leaving a family member behind is hard, for both you and your pet, I am here to eliminate that stress by making sure your pet is well taken care of while their human is away. I am available anytime after 8am for play dates and check-ins, I have a pretty open and flexible schedule and will be able to work out times that best work for you! When it comes to the safety of your pet, I take this very seriously. I only give treats/toys that you approve. If there are special accommodations your pet may need, please let me know before meeting so I can come prepared! I am very open minded to discussing anything that I can do to better care for your pet!

About: I have always grown up with dogs, cats, and many other furry and scaly animals in my homes. Usually multiple at the same time! I do extensive research to make sure my pets get the best care they could have. I am also in college to be a veterinarian to further my knowledge. I am currently a part-time college student (Pre-Veterinary), so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I will be updating my profile every semester. As of now, I have class from 10am-12pm on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. I also have weekly appointments on Monday from 1:30pm~3:00(sometimes 3:30), and Friday from 2:00pm-3:00. Friday’s are a little more flexible because I can do my appointments virtually, so I would just need a little heads up:) I am a sponge for knowledge, so I do a lot of my own research on pet care, but I will also be starting a vet-assistant program either this summer or fall! From there I would get hands on experience, while also securing employment in an actual veterinary clinic. In your home, I assure to be patient and use problem solving skills to meet the needs of your fur baby! I am also great at communication, so I will always keep you in the loop and ask questions:)

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.

“Lindsey is very caring and professional. When she was at our house, our cat didn’t hide which says a lot about her (especially since our cat is terrified of new people). She will definitely be our go to for future visits.”

“Sophia was wonderful with my Obi! She was sweet and very punctual, arriving exactly when I needed her. I will definitely be utilizing her services again.”

About: I have pet sit since I was in middle school for neighbors and friends. I have experience with puppies through older dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, taking out, administering medicines, and of course playing with pets and cuddling them! I have had my cats since I was in first grade, so I understand how important pets are to a family! I am working as a dancer at Six Flags Great America this summer in their live shows. I will be working from 1-10pm Thursday through Mondays, and I have Tuesday’s and Wednesdays off. I am available each morning as early as needed until around 12, and I am also available for boarding. I do not work very far away, so although I will be out of the apartment for some hours each day, I will never be too far. I have a studio apartment with no additional pets, and very minimal furniture or places where your pets could get stuck or lost. It is a very safe and comfortable environment for pets to play and sleep in! I live right next to a park with plenty of space to walk and explore on a leash.

About: From the beginning, my wife and I have shared a love for pets, especially dogs. I formed a home where our first child was a furry, four-legged friend. This beloved first canine child strengthened my love and taught me profound parenting skills, and I have passed that legacy on to our two teenage children and our three-year-old son. I formed a home where the love for our dogs is genuine and sincere. That's why caring for your puppies is my responsibility, and I take it very seriously. I have extensive experience caring for all types of dogs, breeds, and ages, and we carefully study their different and unique personalities and needs. I treat them with love and respect. From the moment your dog enters our home, he/she becomes another member of my family. Rest assured that he'll share unique and memorable spaces with each member of my family and will be a part of my family routine without exception. My home is a loving, personalized, safe, and warm home for your dog. Depending on your needs, I accommodate and strive to make our four-legged friend feel at home with us.

“Christy gave special care and attention to my senior dog. She was this little dog's, who had gone through many changes in a short time, first pet sitter and it went well. I will welcome Christy back and recommend her as a reliable, caring pet sitter.”

“As always, great experience with Beth. She is prompt to respond and takes the time to play with Rupert (not always easy! Lol!) which we greatly appreciate. Leaving your pets with someone can be so nerve-wracking. I'm so happy to have found Beth as she truly sets my mind at ease!!”

“great communication! I felt so secure knowing Tiffany was looking after my kitties while I was gone, and the pictures she sent of them really helped to put me even more at ease. Even my super shy boy cat felt safe enough to make an appearance. 12/10 would definitely have her watch my cats again!”

“Millie had a great time with Liliana. She was caring and fun. Liliana helped me out in a pinch and was able to drop in on Millie at the last minute. I'd definitely work with Liliana again.”

About: I've had many pets growing up. Ive taken care of my friends cat for 6 months, coming by and providing food and play time. I currently care for my 14yr cat and I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I do have a full time job. I'm willing to come by during my lunch break or after work 2 or 3 times a week for some TLC. I ensure that animals stick to their usual route, have treats to stay near me, and make sure they have plenty of food and water. Portions vary per owner and so do the limitations of treats. You tell me the quantity and I will stick to it. Everything you do to get your fur baby ready for a walk, I will do too.

“Elizabeth was great! Plenty of photos to give the over protective cat owner confidence in our boys’ well being. She was responsive and, most importantly, a cat lover like us. We cannot recommend someone more highly!”

About: Hello, I’m Genesis and I’m both an aspiring dog trainer and illustrator! I’m hoping with enough time walking with Rover I’ll further my experience with dogs, as well as pay for dog training school to help you with your pet! Pet care is an every day routine for me! Making sure dogs get properly fed, hydrated, stimulated and exercised daily is as important as doing so for myself. Firstly, I like to gauge the pet’s comfort level by trying to sit in the same room with them, seeing whether or not if they’ll approach me and how close they’re willing to be near me. If treats and toys are available, I tend to try and win them over with those but I mostly prefer being patient and building a bond, rather than assuming they’ll be open to whatever. I am relaxed with a punctual schedule when it comes to feeding, playing and walking in order to keep them happy, healthy and stable!

“Isabella was great with our two huskies, she was always there to take care of them, play with them, spend time with them, overall be a great caregiver for my not so little ones. We appreciate Isabella’s work ethic and will absolutely be reaching out in the future when we are in need of a great sitter!”
