Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Crystal Lake

I have used Natalie’s service a couple times now and am very satisfied and my pups also enjoy being around her. If you need help with your pets, Natalie is a great one to call on. You can tell she cares about what she does.

Iwonka made herself available to drop in on our dogs the day before we needed someone. She stopped by to meet them and get the lay of the land on Friday, and came by to take care of them while we were gone Saturday. We super appreciate her taking care of our pups on such short notice.

From the pictures, it looks like bindi felt comfortable and relaxed . That was the whole point, to keep her happy and comfy. Cholie was prompt and took good care of Bindi.

Carolyn was amazing! She went above and beyond, even taking thoughtful steps such as taking my trash can out for trash day despite me not requesting her to. She provided great photos and updates on my cats that really helped me to feel assured that they were in good hands while I was away. She even took the time to try and get my boys to come out of their shells a little! Would definitely recommend!!

Nicole was such a great help with my two dogs. I contacted her a couple of weeks out from the date that I needed her and she was able to come over the next day to meet my dogs. She also checked in the day prior to make sure that she had all of the necessary instructions. On the day she was scheduled, she arrived right on time and took care of everything perfectly. I've struggled to find a reliable pet sitter for a while and am so glad to have found Nicole! Will definitely book her again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Care — A Truly Outstanding Rover Sitter I cannot say enough good things about Kirstin and the way she cared for my two dogs, Zoe and Zacy. She is, without question, one of the most professional, compassionate, and attentive sitters I have ever worked with. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that Kirstin has a natural gift with animals. She approached each dog with patience, warmth, and genuine affection. Zoe, who is older and recently had a neurological episode, requires very careful handling — especially with stairs and balance. Kirstin followed every instruction meticulously, treated her with gentleness and respect, and made sure she felt safe every moment. Her attentiveness gave me tremendous peace of mind. Zacy, energetic and full of personality, also bonded with her immediately. Kirstin understood his routine, managed his needs perfectly, and made sure both dogs felt calm, comfortable, and loved. What truly sets Kirstin apart is her communication. She updated me regularly, sent photos, and asked thoughtful questions when needed. I always knew my dogs were in excellent hands. Her professionalism, kindness, and dedication are exceptional. Caring for a senior dog and a small, active dog at the same time is not easy — yet Kirstin handled everything flawlessly and with a loving heart. I am profoundly grateful for the way she cared for Zoe and Zacy. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, Kirstin is the person you want. I recommend her wholeheartedly and will absolutely be booking with her again.

…I was able to monitor Janet’s visits , which she didn’t mind. My dogie Angel received lots of attention / love from her . I was very matinal to see that while I was out of town… Thank you Janet ! You rock 😍

Lauren was great! Always kept in contact and took many great pictures of the fur babies. Would definitely book again.

Mackenzie was great with our three cats. She showed up at the agreed upon time, took care of our cats and the litter boxes, sent pictures and responded to our messages, we definitely will reach out to her again when we need help!

Katie was so great with Ava and Chubbs! This was our first time using her service, and we were very happy with her! She sent us video and pictures of our fur babies while we were away from them. We will definitely use her service again!!!

Mary is so fantastic! I can’t say enough great things about her and she took such great care of my dogs while we were out. I would highly recommend her to everyone.

For the past two and a half years, my senior English bully - Daisy - has looked forward to Brian’s daily visits. Brian is such a remarkable Rover find — always reliable, and goes the extra mile to care for Daisy. I’ve always felt safe while at work knowing that Daisy will get her visit and be taken care of during the day with Brian’s visit. He’s very cognizant of Daisy’s health issues and needs. On days when her hips are extra bothersome to her, he was gracious enough to carry all 50 lbs of her up and down three flights of stairs. I’ve also come to look forward to the daily fun and cute photos of my Daisy from him with the funny blurbs of what they’ve been up to during the visit. Brian has also been so flexible with weekend schedule visits. If Daisy and I didn’t need to move further away, I would have kept the daily visits with Brian. Although having said that, Brian is still willing to accommodate some visits when needed despite the distance. Always so gracious on top of being such a compassionate person who truly deeply cares for my Daisy. I highly recommend him, and whoever hires him is extremely lucky to get the kind of attention and loving care he gives to your furry babies. Thank you so much, Brian! Thank you for being part of our family these past two and a half years! You are (p)awesome

As always Sarah was phenomenal at taking care of our pups and home while we were away! She always leaves us pictures and detailed reports. We are so thankful for her!

Once again, our cats had wonderful care from Maria. Always reliable and attentive to detail, Maria really sees the cats’ personalities and preferences. They always look so happy in the photos and videos.
