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.

Marcy was awesome! She followed instructions for feeding and playing perfectly. She was always on time.

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.

Alyssa was awesome! Our cats were so comfortable with her and loved the daily attention they got. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands while we were gone for a week. We got a daily download of the visit and lots of pictures!

My pups are on the anxious/overly excited side and I was worried about finding someone who would be understanding of that. I was also worried that having someone drop in would be more stressful than going a few extra hours before a potty break.. But Mary did a wonderful job, and I could tell that my dogs were genuinely enjoying the time they were having in her photos!!

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!

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!!

Super responsive & thorough and even did a drop in visit last minute. We had very happy pups upon returning home.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

Will continue to use Lauren’s services! She is professional and reliable!

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

Sarah was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of our dogs, had great communication, always wrote details rover cards— we really couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! We are so thankful!

Kathleen is the absolute best! She takes such great care of our fur babies while we are gone. Very thorough updates with pictures and video's. Will definitely use again and highly recommend her.

Thanks Toby for always helping take such great care of our fur babies!
