Doggy Day Care Avondale

About: I do take up to 3 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.

“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.”

“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.”

“John provided such a great daycare for our dog Moose. Moose got to play with John’s adorable dog, go on walks and get out his energy and we got to enjoy pics from John! He was also super communicative and accommodated our rather challenging drop off schedule (it was early!) John will absolutely be my first call the next time we need daycare!”

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.

“David and his girlfriend were absolutely wonderful with Maeve. They sent me multiple photos and videos of Maeve throughout the day and kept me updated throughout her stay with them. They cared & loved her just as they would their own. I definitely plan to rebook with them again, and I highly recommend!!”

“Leeraz was so great with our 7 month old puppy! She gives the pups lots of love and attention, and sends tons of photo and video updates. Will definitely be using her again!”

Elly K.

“Llama adores her days with Tara and her family. She's always wiggley with excitement in the morning approaching the front door! Tara has been extremely helpful, friendly and understanding. I Highly recommend her!”

Elizabeth D.

“Sarah and Walter were wonderful with Butters! I’m so glad Butters had a great time there since he can be quite a handful at times. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

Flora K.

“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.

“Leaving Luna with Christine was such a great experience. Christine was extremely communicative, sending pictures and updates throughout the day. She left us with the most adorable goody bag as well, with a Polaroid to commemorate Luna’s stay. Above and beyond - would not hesitate to use her again.”

About: Hi there! My name is Nicky (he/they) and I’ve been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family members for upwards of a decade and am commonly regarded as the go-to sitter in my community. I strive to treat every pet (and owner) with the utmost respect and kindness, and I’ll follow your instructions to a T! (The T stands for toe beans 🤓) Currently unemployed due to layoffs in my industry, so I’ll be able to give your fur bestie as much attention as possible! I can do overnights, multiple nights in a row, or just a drop-in/walk; whatever you need - I got you! :) I have a fenced yard in front of my apartment complex so your fur bestie can run free and tire themselves out before beddybye! I can crate your pup if you provide one or they can get some shut-eye on the couch or wherever they’re comfy!

“Lio's first stay with Amy was a real success....he felt right at home with her warm and caring manner and it was obvious to me that her house is genuinely a place were dogs are genuinely liked and appreciated. I hope this first experience will offer Lio and I a reliable, safe, and consistent source of daycare and boarding in the future. Thanks! Luisiana”

“Roma is our Ori’s best friend! He gets so excited to spend the day with her and his dog friends. Roma is so good at keeping us updated with photos and videos, and Ori is clearly happy, enriched, and well taken care of at Roma’s. He comes back from daycare happy and tired—what more could we ask for? Roma is also so flexible and communicative about bookings, and has saved us on many occasions! We feel so happy and comforted that Ori has a safe and joyful place to spend the day when we need a helping hand. We enthusiastically recommend her!”

“Stacey was so accommodating and a great sitter for my pup! She kept me up to date and my dog seemed really happy after a great day! Thank you!”

About: A little bit about myself and my love for animals, (dogs especially)! Growing up, I was never allowed to have pets. Yet, I always seemed to house orphaned strays that I'd find, from baby bunnies to stray kittens. My love for animals has no end. It was so exciting for me when I rescued my first dog, Gizmo! My second dog, Oreo and my third dog, Brody. I honestly will say that of all the people I know, that I am definitely the soft hearted type. If I ever won the lottery, I'd have my own NO-KILL, RESCUE Dog shelter with a lot of open land for them to be...DOGS! I became a stay at-home mom in 2019 when our little boy came into our lives. I often find that housing a dog in my own home provides a sense of relief for paw-rents. Being a dog owner myself, I know that for me and my husband having our pooch cared for at home or in someone else's is a MUST! We are not fans of doggie day cares, but it is what we resorted to when there was nobody to call upon. We don't do that anymore because our dogs came back stressed and with questionable accidents. I have cared for 15+ dogs since 2014. We look forward to opening our home up to your furbabies! We live on the Chicago Riverwalk. We are a dog friendly neighborhood area, an added bonus for the furry visitors in our home! We have a gated area, so your pooch will be extra safe!! We also share our furniture with furry guests. This is a dog friendly home! Our dogs (Oreo/RIP) and Brody are great with other dogs, too! They love to play and know when to give a pooch their space. We love to get outdoors for at least 6-8 walks per day. We love fresh air! I'm looking forward to hosting your lovies in my home and giving them a Staycation they'll look forward to returning to, time and time again! I have references for anyone that would like that, too. I'm a stay at-home mom and always home. I am available to your dog on a daily basis. We like going out for at least 5-6 walks per day, for 20-30mins. (On hot days they are shorter).We get our steps in! All of our guests have free roam of our home. My home is their home. My dogs are welcome to coming up on our furniture or any of our dog beds. I have a basket of toys on every floor. This is a free roam home. Patio doors are open on all decks and the pups are free to sun bathe at their leisure. Cool water bowls are always accesible to my furry crew.

About: 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.

“Erica did a great job with Chloe and I very much appreciated her coming out to meet me when I dropped Chloe off and picked her up!”

“Frank is an old curmudgeon who lives nothing more than a human leg to sleep against, and he had a great day with Cara and Travis and Vern. I got lots of updates and pictures (Frank has never cuddled another dog since I've had him but I got photographic proof that he did exactly that), and Frank seemed perfectly at home and relaxed. Looking forward to Frank having more daycare days with his new cuddle buddy.”

“Diver and Sloane has a great time at Ruben’s. He kept them safe and busy while I moved into my new place. I will definitely bring the dogs back to his home!!”
