Doggy Day Care Avondale

About: I do take up to 4 clients at a time, so I can only accept dogs that get along well with other dogs. I am doing Rover full time. Which means more time to spend on walks, playing and affection time ! I won't be distracted with any electronic device, when outdoors with your dog. I don't smoke, drink or party. I grew up caring for a couple amazing dogs. I've taken care of my brother's, neighbors and friends dogs. I love being outdoors and being active, so if your dog has alot of energy, he'll be sleeping like a baby by the end of the day. I currently don't have any pets of my own. I'm looking forward to making memorable moments with your dog(s). I can take your dog on an hour long early morning walk/run near a park close to where I live, so we can also play ball, Frisbee or with a toy! Then I could take your dog to 1-3 additional walks throughout the day. I try to make the dog feel at home,by being calm and trying to understand his/her body language, quirks and personality. Giving them affection and playing with them, but also some alone time.

“Even though the other dogs were bigger, Chachi was not scared and in fact he loved them and got along with them great. They were all gentle dogs and knew Chachi was small. He even shared beds with the big dudes and went out for play time. Chachi wants to return soon and meet up with the same pack again because Ian made him feel at home and comfortable. Chachi had all the pillows, blankets and belly rubs he needed.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years. I treat my puppy like a family member and will do the same for yours! Since they are family they are allowed on the couch and will get plenty of belly rubs & cuddles. I work from home. My pup and I go for a walk through the park or around the neighborhood first thing at 7:30 am and then usually breakfast is serve. We go back four our next walk at 11:30/12 then we go out again after work at 5pm. This one’s a longer walk and we follow that with play time and dinner. :) That is followed by cuddles. I will send you super cute updated images so you can see what fun your fur baby is up to :) . I also have a fenced small backyard incase your pup wants to do some light leash free jogging with me.

“As always, Chad and his wife are the BEST! They’ve taken care of Olive several times now. So professional, reliable, and are genuinely such good people.”

About: Hi fur-parents, Pick me and lll promise you I’ll love your fur-babies like my own. I have several years experience with walking, and sitting dogs . I’ve also been educating myself on dog training and been practicing those skills on my own dog. I know trusting a stranger with your fur-baby is hard, so I’ll make sure to keep you posted with cute pictures and a quick text on how they’re doing throughout the day. I’m smart and trustworthy, and leaving your pets to my care will be an easy going experience. I guarantee you that. That way you can focus on work or enjoy your vacation without the unneeded stress of wondering how your pet is doing. There's no time to waste so let’s meet up! I’m looking forward to hearing from you. I am currently taking online classes to get my degree, so my schedule is very flexible so I can dogsit during the weekdays and weekends. I have a dog that loves to play and will keep your dog entertained and tired by the end of the day. I also have a crate that I can use if any behavior gets out of hand

“Amelia was great! Responsive and communicative and you could tell Luna had a great time playing with her pup. We would be thrilled to use her again.”

About: Please note - I can only host dogs that get along well with other dogs, as I usually watch more than one dog at a time. Hi! I'm Maggie. 👋🏼 I've been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. From my very first poodle when I was five years old to my sweet pup today, dogs have been one of the greatest sources of love, joy, and companionship in my life. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets while they're away, and I've learned that every dog is unique. Some are full of energy and eager to play, while others need a little extra patience, reassurance, or time to feel comfortable in a new environment. Helping each dog feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pups with a variety of medical and emotional needs. I'm comfortable administering both oral and injectable medications, following detailed care instructions, and adapting to each dog's individual routine. Whether it's supporting a nervous dog through separation anxiety, encouraging a picky eater, or simply offering extra cuddles to a pup who's missing home, I believe that thoughtful, individualized care can make all the difference. To me, caring for dogs isn't just about feeding, walking, or playtime. It's about creating a space where they feel loved, secure, and truly at home until their favorite humans return. I can't wait to bond with your best friend! Caring for pups is the main thing I do currently, other than driving Uber when I'm not booked, and some house chores or studying from home. I will be at home with your pups at all times and I will have plenty of free time to play and interact with them. We have a large porch and fully fenced back-yard with a large tree where all pups love to run around and play. If the weather is nice, we are likely to spend most of the day outside, either at home or Palmer's park across the street. We allow our pups and guest pups on the couches and beds. I make sure the pups get a lot of attention and interactions, and also some needed down-time.

“John & Ryan took wonderful care of my dog Newton! They sent a cute photo update and were very flexible with pick up and drop off times. Would highly recommend!”

“David & his fiancee were absolutely amazing. Communicative, kind, flexible when plans changed, and obviously love their own puppies and everyone else’s! Milo had a wonderful time spending the last two days with them. Next time we’re in Chicago and in need of a sitter, we will 100% rebook. He got to play, go on walks, and obviously received a lot of love while he was with them. We can’t thank them enough for looking after our little guy!!”

“David was great with our pup Chase. He's usually very shy and slow to warm up to people. However he really took to David and Pinto super quickly. David shared pictures and videos of them playing and sleeping throughout the day. I would definitely recommend him for any dogsitting needs.”

“Johnny and Rosa took such great care of Buddy! He had a great, full day with new friends and plenty of time for naps and pics! Would definitely have him stay again”

Connor G.

“Great communication, lots of photos, and she was very accommodating of some special needs. I will be rebooking soon!”

“Tango spent a nice day with Sarah. He's a bit anxious but he settled in and seemed content when I picked him up. Sarah and walter are quick to respond to queries and clearly responsible sitters.”

“Our dog had a wonderful time at Megan's. She sent us photos while we we were gone which made us feel so much better. Would use Megan again when we come back to visit Savannah again.”

Patricia L.

“Laura is absolutely amazing! She’s so friendly and welcoming, and my partner and I instantly felt comfortable leaving our dog with her. She invited us into her home, and our pup was immediately curious and happy to be there. Laura took the time to explain how she cares for dogs and kept us updated throughout the day, which we really appreciated. When we picked him up, he was tired and happy—a sure sign he had an awesome time! We can’t recommend Laura enough.”

Trevor R.

“Ruben was nothing short of awesome! I was running late to drop my dog and extraordinarily late to pick her up and he was accommodating. Ruben has great communication and shared pics throughout the day. I highly recommend and will definitely use his services again.”

Tanmay S.

“Brenda and Milo are awesome with our dog. They’re extremely kind and considerate. They somehow also find ways to send the cutest photos on our dog. 10/10 would recommend.”
