Welcome to Doggy DaveCare
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Dave. I enjoy spending time with my own dogs and we all love welcoming new dogs to join us. While in my care your dog's safety, comfort and happiness are my priorities. Nothing makes me happier than an owner telling me their dog came home exhausted. Or hearing about how excited their dog was to return. Please read the first hand comments from other satisfied owners who have entrusted me to care for their dogs. I take great pride in these and promise your dog will receive the same level of loving attention. I'm happy to discuss any details or put you in touch with some of my delighted customers. Even better, schedule a Meet & Greet where you can see where your dog will be staying. You'll also have a chance to meet my dogs and any number of guest dogs. You'll see for yourself what a great environment it is! My home is an excellent place for pups –– the living room is basically a dog den. Outside features a fenced in backyard. My neighborhood is very pet-friendly, so they get lots of socialization when we go on walks. As a pet sitter, I do everything I can to ensure that the dogs I look after receive the same level of care they are used to getting at home.
Reviews
Dave was great; responsive, easy to work with, experienced - and has a great home set-up for day-to-day care (including outdoor space and plenty of dog-friend 'regulars' who also tap Dave for daycare needs).
A pleasure to work with and always very responsive. Our dog Udo loves going to Dave’s and hanging with the whole crew!
Dave was great at giving occasional updates and some pictures while watching our dog Udo! He was patient with Udo’s picky eating habits and the set up that he has, especially with the back yard for all the dogs to play in is fantastic. Udo is excited to come back soon!
Great sitter! My dog loves Dave, the yard and playing with all the other dogs.

Information Dave M. would like to know about your pet
What would I like to know about your dog? Everything! The more info, the better. Most importantly, I’d like to know about your pet’s regular routine because I never want to do anything that derails the processes you have set up at home. I provide personalized service by getting to know both the dogs and the owners and asking for details about their habits and personality.
A typical day
When I care for your pet, they will be treated as if they are my own. I want them to be satisfied with their stay and excited to return for another visit! When we go on walks, we’ll mostly explore the Lincoln Park neighborhood and the DePaul campus, but we may head even further for longer walks. I also have a car, so we might make a trip to the Montrose Dog Beach if you’ll allow it. Recently, I started experimenting with making my own dog treats, and I’d love to offer some to your pooch with your approval. Playtime is always supervised, and I have some crates on hand for pups that prefer quiet time. Dog owners should book with me if they want their pooch to come home tired and content. I’m confident that your fur baby will have a blast playing with my pups and our other four-legged guests. I’ll provide you with text, picture, and video updates while you’re away and give you a verbal recap when you pick up your pet.
