“Paige kept me updated with pictures, times, everything through 3 days of walks. She gave my dog Tickle lots of love and even made sure my cat had food!! She did a great job and I would definitely use her in the future.”


About: With over 7 years of pet care experience, I specialize in providing personalized attention to pets of all ages and needs. I adapt my services to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of animal behavior, allowing me to provide consistent routines. I am currently in a veterinary assistant program to gain certification and complete career goals! I’ve also volunteered at the humane society events and dog walking. I am a first time mom, currently in the newborn stage. He was born February 6th. I am the primary parent and take care of him night and day, therefore i unfortunately can’t work. I do have support that will watch him while I do drop in’s, burnsides appointments I am mainly free!! In your home, I focus on maintaining a safe and familiar environment for your pet. I follow your pet's routine closely, ensuring their feeding, playtime, and exercise schedules are consistent. I also make sure to provide plenty of attention, love, and mental stimulation, even if it is just walks. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority.

“Christine was AMAZING! She was ALWAYS on time for the walks with my 2 dogs and walked them for the full 30 minutes I requested. She was also very attentive to keeping me updated and sharing photos!”


“Her compassion is evident with every interaction with my puppy. She make her (my puppy) the single focus of her walking time and nothing is more important than her (my puppy). She is always responsive and if I need more help, she always finds a way. I am so very thankful for her.”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ pets of all sizes and temperaments — from energetic puppies to older dogs with special needs. Whether it’s walking, feeding, giving medication, or just keeping them company, I’m comfortable and confident handling it all. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting primarily during evenings and weekends. I’m happy to discuss your preferred schedule to ensure your pet receives consistent, reliable care. When pets stay in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment. I follow all care instructions and ensure they get regular meals, exercise, and plenty of attention. My home is pet-proofed for safety, and I monitor their well-being closely to keep them happy and comfortable.

About: I have been volunteering at the lake county animal shelter for about two summers now which involved feeding,walking, bathing and playing with many dogs! I will make sure your dog is properly taken care of and will treat them how I would want a dog sitter to treat my puppy! I have had dogs my entire life and have been taking care of them since I was young so I am fully aware of how to take care of a dog. I love to go on long walks with dogs and I also love to play with their toys with them. I will take great care of your dog and I am available pretty much everyday. So please let me take care of your dog!

“Kasey is amazing. I have a new rescue that’s super sweet but very reactive to other dogs on walks. I was very anxious about having a dog walker due to lily’s reactivity but Kasey really knows how to handle such behavior. Lily took to Kasey right away which really put me at ease. Kasey is so wonderful and gives such great updates on their daily walks and activities. I absolutely trust her with my fur baby and will be using her often!”


About: Growing up my family always had pets. I bought my first dog when I was 17 and have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since then. I love the fur babies. They are not just pets. They are my babies!! I work as a full time school bus driver so I currently am only available on weekends after noon. My availability may increase in the summer time. I live in a quiet pet friendly neighborhood. My pets love it here. We have never had any issues or complaints so I can guarantee the same for your babies!

About: I've cared for dogs, cats, horses, and other animals from a young age, and they’ve always been an important part of my life. Working at an emergency veterinary clinic gave me hands-on experience handling animals with care and confidence, even in high-stress situations. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how to create a safe, loving environment and set healthy boundaries. I also gained valuable insight into training through my own dog’s work with a professional trainer, which taught me practical techniques to support positive behavior day to day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need—whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended care. I’m generally able to adjust my day around your pet’s schedule, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and never rushed. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each animal’s routine, personality, and any special needs or boundaries to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all client instructions carefully and keep you updated, so you can feel at ease while you're away. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful of your space and focused on keeping your pet’s environment calm and consistent. During walks I stay alert to surroundings, other animals, and people to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Every pet is unique, and I take pride in providing thoughtful, trustworthy care that helps them feel happy, safe, and loved.

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities — from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and care. With my background as a healthcare professional, I’m comfortable administering medications and even giving injections, so you can trust your pup’s health needs are always in good hands. I also have experience with dogs who struggle with anxiety, and I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I treat every dog like family. My schedule is pretty flexible as I am able to work around my work schedule. With that flexibility, I’ll be able to easily fit walks, playtime, feeding, or snuggles into my daily routine. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I’ll follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication, or just providing companionship. I also make sure your home is respected and tidy while you’re away.

“Samantha was terrific. Chewy our 90+lb Rottweiler/hound absolutely adored her. Samantha was very reliable and communicated with us everyday. She walked Chewy for 8 days while we were gone. My parents who were watching Chewy while we were gone liked Samantha also.”


“Jennifer was terrific. Flexible to our schedule and fast on her feet. Phoenix loved her walks and when she refused a walk in the rain ( she hates water and I wasn’t expecting rain so never thought to mention it), Jennifer was quick to reach out for an alternative. Both Phoenix and I were so comfortable and grateful to Jennifer, we would have her back in a nanosecond. I can’t imagine anyone being better!!!”


“Marly is very sweet and accommodating. I was able to book her on short notice. She came the day prior to the booking to get acquainted with Spritz. I will definitely use Marly in the future if the need arises!”


About: I’ve taken care of animals for many years. Friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, play with and most of all, care about and for their animals. In my previous life, I managed a Doggy Daycare. I’m here for your pup(s) and/or cat(s) during the weekdays and weekends. I work from home part-time. Your pup/cat will have lots of TLC / belly rubs, playtime, walks and love. I also have my own pup that can keep yours company. I have a fenced in yard, lots of space inside and outside where pups can play and rest as needed. Bowls and toys available. :) **Tell me what your pup needs and it’s covered!

About: I've cared for my own cats and dogs, as well as worked as a Kennelist and a Bather for years feeding, bathing, trimming nails, cleaning kennels, and walking handicapped/healing and boarded animals. I have experience in puppies/kitties to senior. I am currently available as needed to fit desired requests. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of availability to make multiple drop-in visits or overnight stays, if necessary, in one day. My cat (pictured), Delilah, is pet-friendly and has lived with my previous rescue cats, as well as dogs. She is the Princess of the house, but that's only because in this house, it is just My Husband, Myself, Henry (Swiss Bernese- Greater Mountain Dog) and Delilah! She has many favorite places to sleep and cuddle up on furniture to bask in the sunshine, or stare out the window. Henry (pictured) is our newest four-legged friend, weighing in over 100lbs, and brings you all love and kisses with his tongue hanging & flying in the wind as he gallops towards you. He totally doesn’t know his size, thinking he’s a lap dog still at 2 years old (and I allow it 🙃). His favorite days are dog parks and play dates, but he loves his pool and herding his sister, Delilah, around the yard! (Ducks and turkeys pictured do not live here or belong to me) For Boarding/Daycare: My cat is crated if needed. Dogs would need to be leashed and walked on property. No fenced in property. Leads available in yards.

About: I have owned several dogs in my life time ! The love of my life, Spikey, was a mixed Maltese/Chihuahua, and lived to be 19 1/2 years old. I then adopted sweet Mary who ended up with health issues and she sadly passed in January 2024. I know how important it is to have peace of mind and be able to leave your fur babies in dependable hands. I work part time from home and have a lot of flexibility to provide whatever level of attention you wish for your pets. I prefer to take care of your pets at your home since that is the best to keep them in their environment. However, it's possible to arrange in my home. Your pets will be given loving attention. I like to know their routine and their favorite treats and toys to help lessen any separation anxiety. We will take walks if that is requested. I feel comfortable administering shots and medications and have plenty of experience. I work part time seasonally so have a lot of availability during certain times of the year. I miss having a pet but due to work and travel requirements I can’t take one on full time. I love helping take care of others pets and we will play and take walks every day. I don’t have a yard, but I do have a nice neighborhood for walking. My house is pet friendly and your pet will be treated as if they were my own.

“Please don’t hesitate to use Lucia for your Rover needs. She was very attentive and thorough with her care and communication regarding our high maintenance doodle. She was very responsible with our home. Thank you again Lycia!”
