“Jennifer and her husband are the best! We had never boarded or had our dog go to “daycare” and she put all of our worries at ease. She kept us updated and sent photos. Toby gets excited when he realizes where we are going and comes home happy and tired every time.”
“Catkins was so good with Coco. She was patient and followed all my instructions for my puppy. I was so scared to leave her with her because of me not knowing her but she was very gentle and kind with my puppy. She updated me as often as I liked.”
“Ashley is very kind and attentive sitter. I was updated throughout the day with pictures and information about my boy Cody. Very happy with my first time using Rover services and highly recommend Ashley!”
“DO YOU LOVE YOUR DOG? Do you want your dog supervised in a playful, loving home environment? No crating (unless requested) plus all the play and cuddles your pup wants. Treats, rest time, individualized attention all included. I guarantee you can’t and don’t care for your dog like Jenny does! She is the dog whisperer! She is that good! Gigi would live with Jenny if she could! Gigi visits a few times a week. Jenny is like family. I promise I’ve used other great Rover folks and kennels - Jenny is better. Gigi sleeps with her!”
“This was my first time taking my little Mollie to Stepfanie. It was a very positive day. Mollie was loved on and I don’t think she e wanted to leave. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I have been pet sitting for neighbors since I was a child and am a major animal lover. I live in Yorkville with a large fenced in backyard and plenty of love to share with your fur babies. I currently work from home around my own schedule and can be available anytime to care for your pets. I am also available to pick up and/or drop off if needed. I have a large fenced in yard and 3 friendly pups of my own to keep your furry friends company. I also have plenty of space to keep them separated if needed, including a separate fenced in area.

“Brian was excellent with our skittish 10-month old puppy and helped our puppy get acclimated to other dogs in his care. We would definitely choose to trust Brian with our dog in the future.”
“Our dog had a wonderful day with Donna and her dog, which included plenty of outdoor play. Donna is patient, calm, and genuinely cares about dogs. We are happy that we found Donna and are looking forward to more visits in the near future.”
“Seana is terrific! She really took great care of my best buddy, and I was assured that my dog had a wonderful time playing all day with her own sweet dog. I can't recommend her enough! She truly loves dogs and handles the job beautifully!”
About: We have collective pet parent experience of over 40 years and have loved and cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs and even beared dragons. Personally, I previously worked at PetCo in addition to volunteering with PAWS Chicago. In both roles I received extensive training in caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. Currently, I work from home full time with a ton of flexibility and plenty of time to devote to additional fur babies. I work from home full time Monday thru Friday and have complete flexibility. Meaning I have time and energy for plenty of walks, playing in the park, or even just lounging in the yard. I own my home and have plenty of space to care for animals. As the mother to a toddler, our home has already been child proofed (cabinets locked, large furniture anchored, Simplisafe home security, etc.) Importantly, our yard is fenced in completely with vinyl fencing that is only a couple years old (but tried and true).
About: Please ensure that your profile is completed and current to receive a reply. New furbabies must complete a meet and greet. If no response from owner within 24hrs of meet and greet request, boarding request will be denied. When scheduling please only schedule drop off and pick either as an exact time or 1 hr range ( for example 1:00 pm- 2:00 pm). If selecting for me to pick up and drop off, please select hours after 5pm during the week days. Late pickup will be updated in rover app unless previously discussed. There will be a late fee. I work from home and have a large yard for your babies to play. I have lots of time to play. My schedule is pretty open. Maisie and Marlie are very friendly and trained. They are in need of new playmates. They love to give toys to their friends so that they can play with them together. Your fur babies will enjoy their play time here. We also understand when they want time to themselves. We have lots of experience sitting for extended stays.
“Laura was so wonderful with my little guys! She made them instantly comfortable during their first stay with her. She really helped put my mind at ease over leaving them as she was so communicative and I knew she was taking good care of them. You can tell when you speak with her how much she cares for dogs and enjoys spending time watching other peoples! She is such a kind and caring person, my dogs took to her instantly. I love all the walks and attention my boys got during their stay. I will definitely be using Laura's services again in the future. Highly recommend!!”
