Call our office at (815) 600-4750 or sending an email to mylovebugnow@gmail.com are both great ways to contact us. If you want to speak with us right away, please call between the hours of 9am – 6pm and we will be happy to talk to you about how we can help with your custom pet care needs.

Dog walks, cat and other animal small pet visits, private boarding, medication administration and yard waste clean up. Special requests? No problem. Just let us know! Our visits may include a walk, fresh water, feeding if requested, treats, cleanup of pet accidents, playtime, lots of attention, mail retrieval, plant watering, and trash disposal.

Love Bug Professional Pet Care services McHenry, Wonder Lake, Woodstock, Ringwood, and Bull Valley.

We provide dog walking and pet sitting services seven days a week and on most holidays for additional costs.

If the weather poses a threat to either the pet sitter or the pets, we will certainly stay on schedule to ensure proper care during scheduled visitations. It’s plausible that inclement weather (i.e. heavy rain or snow causing hazardous road conditions) can potentially delay scheduled arrival times. We will do everything we can to keep both your pets and the assigned sitters safe. When such weather conditions (including extreme heat) occur please understand that your dog’s walk may be shortened to only allow for a quick potty break and leaving towels out to wipe down a wet pup during rainy seasons helps keep your home clean.

For drop-in visits, we require that your cancellation request be made before 9 am the same day to avoid charges. If a same day drop-in visit is canceled after 9 am, we will charge for the full amount of the visit. We guarantee visits on a first come first served basis, so booking early is in your best interest! 

We schedule all visits with a minimum of a two-hour window for our sitter to arrive for their visit (i.e. scheduled time is 1 pm, window of arrival time may be between 12pm-2pm) *Special accommodations may be made by request.

Absolutely, and it is much appreciated! Our sitters work hard to go above and beyond, and it means a lot to them when they are rewarded for their efforts. You can give gratuities directly to the sitter by leaving out cash, or you may simply request that we add it to your card at the end of your scheduled visits.

Yes, you will have one primary and one backup pet sitter. We believe that continuity is key in building long-lasting relationships with your pets, so we do our best to keep your visits with the same sitters. Due to fluctuating schedules, we may need to eventually introduce another sitter to your home via a complimentary Meet and Greet or Sitter Shadow service.

Love Bug Professional Pet Care offers private boarding for dogs and some other small pets (cats not included) with limited space. Other client’s pets may be present along with the pet sitter’s pets. No more than 4 dogs at a time are allowed and all must pass a behavior screening prior to the service date. Pet owners are liable for any damage caused by their pet to the pet sitter’s home.

All payment are due upon the completion of service. 

We accept PayPal, Cash and Zelle. Other payment options must be approved by management prior to the first service.

There is an additional $10/visit fee for all major national and religious holidays. Love Bug Professional Pet Care will let you know of the applicable fees when you book your service. 

Yes, as long as your pets do not pose a threat to the sitter. When you first contact us, be sure to let us know of your pet’s individual medicinal needs so we can provide you with the proper staff member who is able to administer them. Additional fees may apply for specialized or complex medication routines including injections, IVs, or other specialized services outside oral and topical methods.

Your pet sitter will either leave a detailed note or send a text message with pictures and videos.
