Doggy Day Care Bucktown

“Manu is a wonderful human. A dog whisperer. She took loving care of my new puppy allowing me to go to work without any concerns. My puppy spent 3 days with Manu and her family and my puppy loved her hem. Wonderful experience. I will definitely be returning.”

About: Hi, I’m Adina, owner of Playful Paws Pet Sitting. I offer thoughtful, high-quality care for dogs and cats in a calm, home-style environment. I specialize in one-on-one attention, consistent routines, and low-stress care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m experienced, insured, and deeply detail-oriented — from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and quiet companionship. I intentionally limit bookings so every pet receives unrushed, individualized care. My clients are often busy professionals who want complete peace of mind while they’re away. I provide clear communication, photo updates, and the kind of dependable care I’d expect for my own pets. Your home and your pet will always be treated with respect, warmth, and discretion. If your pet stays with me, I offer an executive home on a large one acre flat lot and access to nearby trails. For sporty dogs, we take two twenty minute walks a day and one long hike in the woods (1-2 hrs) in addition to regular potty breaks outside. For the couch potatoes, I offer lots of quiet places to lounge and toys and enrichment like puzzles. Your dog can have total privacy if needed, but it’s better for everyone if they get along with other dogs. My home is like camp for dogs! I am with your dog all day, and will not leave them for more than 1.5 hours to run a simple errand. If you’re looking for reliable, concierge-level pet care, I’d love to connect. I specialize in anxious pets, senior pets, and pets who need a lot of medical attention throughout the day. My clients are mostly long term and like family and I develop lasting relationships with your pets! This is my full time job and so I am available to you and your pets. Please discuss with me the details of what you need and I will give your pets all the love and attention they deserve. I’m friendly, flexible, and will go above and beyond to keep your pets happy. I treat all animals with love and respect. I have been an animal lover my entire life. I am neat and organized and will treat your home with care and respect. I will send you photos/videos of your pet(s) as well as daily written updates. I specialize in dogs and cats with anxiety or who are shy, as I take the time with your pets to make sure they are comfortable.

“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing. We are from out of state and were a little nervous to leave Belle, but Chonlada made it such a great experience and took wonderful care of our pup. She even sent Belle home with a parting gift and her daughters drew a beautiful pic of Belle! I would certainly trust Chonlada with any dog!”

About: I’ve had all sorts of animals since I’ve been 10 years old. I currently have a yellow lab who is the sweetest dog! He enjoys all animals and is gentle when playing. I watch all my friends and families' pets when they go away. I mainly work from home during the week. Occasionally, I may need to go into the office. I have a fenced in yard where your dog can room or I can take your dog for a walks all throughout the day. I have one dog who would love company. I have a nice fenced in yard. Your pet will be allowed to be on my furniture and sleep in my bed.

“Janette was incredibly accommodating with my last‑minute request. She was patient and understanding with my energetic Rain, even when Rain had two accidents in her home. When I picked Rain up, she was clearly comfortable with Janette, her wagging tail and happy little hop said it all. We will definitely be using Janette again.”

About: Lifelong dog owner and previous pet-sitting business owner; will care for your dog; young, old, big, small. Your dog will be lovingly cared for! (Note: So sorry but we are cautious about hosting aggressive breeds because of past experiences.) I am home quite a bit so your pup will get plenty of attention and exercise. I may be out for a two+ hour stretch here so bringing a crate is highly recommended. We have a fenced in yard with lots of space to roam. We also have hiking trails nearby for walks, if preferred. Plenty of exercise given!

“Tim and his whole family were lovely hosts. My Peanut was really well taken care of and I feel very comfortably going back to Tim's again and again.”

“Sarah was able to take my dogs on short notice and she was very communicative and also just a very nice person. I would definitely use her services again in the future and recommend her to anyone who needs a safe and reliable dog sitter!”

“Danielle was so amazing! I was in Great Falls for 9 days for a training and needed to find someone who I trusted with my beloved pup. From our first Zoom meeting I knew Danielle and I were both fellow animal lovers. From my questions, I could tell that she had a lot of experience with dogs and knew how to handle potential problem situations. Danielle also asked me all the right questions to set my heart at ease. I didn't have to worry about my dog at all when I dropped her off in the morning for day care. I was able to enjoy my training, knowing she was with the best person possible. Danielle went above and beyond in helping my out and I deeply appreciate her and the care and attention she gave us both. I highly recommend Danielle!”

About: Looking for a calm, loving place where your dog will be treated like family? You've found it! I know how hard it can be to leave your furry best friend, so my goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable, safe, and stress-free as possible. Whether you need doggy daycare for a few hours, overnight boarding, or care for a long weekend, your pup will receive plenty of one-on-one attention in a peaceful home. One of the biggest perks? I don't currently have a dog of my own, so your pup gets my full attention without having to compete with other resident dogs. I work from home full-time, so they'll have companionship throughout the day, regular potty breaks, playtime, belly rubs, and lots of love. My home is set up with dogs in mind, including a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. Every dog has their own routine, and I'm happy to accommodate it. If your pup is crate-trained, I'm happy to continue that routine. If they prefer to free roam, they're welcome to make themselves at home. I have a naturally quiet household—no loud music or constant commotion—making it an ideal environment for dogs who enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. Whether your dog loves to play, snuggle on the couch, or simply nap in a cozy spot, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have two cats who live upstairs in their own separate area and do not interact with boarding dogs, allowing everyone to enjoy their own space comfortably. I know you're trusting someone with a member of your family, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll treat your pup with the same patience, affection, and care I'd want for my own pet, while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

About: About Me Hi, I’m Pam! I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all breeds—puppies to seniors—and treat every pet as family. I’m organized, caring, and deeply dependable, and I’d be honored to care for your pup. Why Choose Me? Flexible & Present: I work from home and dedicate undivided attention to each pet—companionship is always there. Routine-Focused: I follow your pet’s normal routine closely—mealtimes, walks, play sessions—to help them feel at ease. Why I Love Pet Sitting Dogs and cats have been part of my life forever—I can’t imagine not having at least one around! I balance caring for pets with raising my son—I’m home, present, and fully engaged. We’re warmly present at all times—your pet will be with company and attention throughout their care. Thank you for considering me—I look forward to making your pet feel right at home! 1. Adhere to Your Pet’s Regular Routine As an effective sitter, I stick closely to your pet’s feeding, walking, and activity schedules to reduce stress and help them feel at ease. Consistency makes all the difference—pets thrive on familiarity and structure. 2. Lean on Written Schedules & Reminders I rely on alarms, digital reminders, or a shared care document outlining feeding times, walks, and medication schedules. Detailed care plans—not just verbal instructions—help ensure nothing is overlooked. 3. Balance Walks, Play, and Mental Stimulation Your pup will enjoy walks in the morning and evening, play sessions in the yard or with toys, and brain games like puzzles or training drills. This balanced mix keeps pets physically active and mentally engaged, which is a hallmark of personalized, attentive care. 4. Clear Communication with Owners I provide updates via text, photos, or videos—tailored to your preference. Whether you'd like a daily summary or only updates if something important comes up, I'll make sure our communication fits what works best for you. Clear, consistent updates help build trust and peace of mind. 1. Create a Secure, Pet‑Safe Environment I prioritize safety by pet-proofing all areas—tucking away loose items, securing small objects, and removing anything toxic within reach. I supervise pets at all times, even in fenced yards, and avoid assuming familiarity protects against escapes or mishaps. 2. Use Barriers and Supervision for Added Security To prevent accidental exits, I employ secondary barriers—like baby gates or exercise pens—when entering or exiting through doors. Even in clients’ homes, I discuss acceptable barrier use ahead of time to ensure safety. 3. Establish Safe Boundaries & Routines I maintain separate feeding areas and “own spaces” for each pet to avoid tension and provide comfort. Cleanliness and routine are central—each pet has its own safe zone, whether in my home or yours- 4. Meet & Greet for Confidence and Preparedness I always recommend a Meet & Greet before booking—this gives us a chance to establish comfort and go over logistics such as key access, gate codes, and safe entry routes. It also helps me anticipate quirky behaviors and preferences that enhance care. 5. Respecting Your Home & Access Protocols When caring for pets in your home, I ensure a secure access plan—whether through tested codes, spare keys, or lockboxes—and always return keys promptly. I conduct perimeter checks to confirm gates are closed, trash secured, and hazardous zones off-limits. 6. Open, Tailored Communication Builds Trust I’ll work with you to determine your preferred update style—daily summaries, photo check-ins, or notes only if something unusual occurs. Consistent, clear communication not only reassures you, but also ensures your pet’s care is seamless. 7. Emergency Preparedness Included I keep emergency contact info—including vets, local animal hospitals, and your trusted contacts—on hand. I’m prepared to act quickly and responsibly in case of illness or safety concerns. 8. Built‑In Assurance through Rover’s Standards As part of the Rover community, I’ve passed a comprehensive background check and adhere to Rover’s Trust & Safety protocols, including the Rover Guarantee and responsive booking protection. Our communications always stay within the platform to ensure transparency and security.
