Doggy Day Care in Cicero

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with family pets & now have a little crew of my own — a mini Goldendoodle named Harvey, a Ragdoll cat named John, & two kittens I’ve raised since they were 7 weeks old. I’ve personally potty trained & crate trained Harvey, & I even litter trained John when he was a kitten - so I understand the patience & consistency that goes into good pet care. I’ve also helped care for friends’ & family members’ pets over the years, from daily check-ins & walks to full overnight boarding. I’ve even looked after a friends young puppy who needed to go out every 20 minutes — so I know how to handle high-energy or high-needs pets with calm, loving attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or sticking to your pet’s daily routine, I treat every animal like my own. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, & right at home while you’re away. I’m currently home full-time, which means your pets will get plenty of love & attention throughout the day. I have a very flexible routine & can easily accommodate feedings, potty breaks, & playtime around your pet’s normal schedule. I’m available for doggy daycare between 6 AM-8 PM, & offer boarding any day of the week. My home stays calm & consistent — perfect for pets who like a relaxed environment. Whether your dog needs frequent walks or your cat just wants company, I’ll be here to make sure they’re happy, safe, & comfortable all day long. I live on the second floor, & while I don’t have a yard, I do have a fenced back patio that’s safe for some fresh-air lounging (weather permitting!). Your pets will be part of my friendly, social home. My mini Goldendoodle, Harvey, is neutered & loves having playmates. My Ragdoll cat, John, enjoys the company of other cats, & my twin kittens are gentle & curious — they might keep their distance at first, especially around dogs they don’t know, but they’ve never been aggressive. Once they’re comfortable, they usually just hang out peacefully or ignore visiting pets. I’m flexible about crating based on what your dog is used to. If your pup is house-trained & comfortable being free indoors, I’m happy to let them relax like one of my own. For dogs still learning potty training or crate manners, I can safely crate them at night or if I need to step out. I even have extra crates available if you’d prefer not to bring your own. My home is calm, pet-safe, & full of love — a comfortable space for your pet to play, rest, & feel right at home while you’re away.

“Pick up and drop off were smooth and updates were meaningful. Katy put my mind at ease and Dora had a good day. Which means I had a great day. Scheduling a couple more days to continue easing Dora into daycare.”

About: I have been taking care of friends and family’s pet for 5+ years now. My sister used to do rover and I used to help her out, she moved to a different state so I decided to open my own rover. I work from home so i can take pets out for walk and provide pee and potty breaks anytime. I work from home so I am usually home whole day and I’m home in the evening time as well to take care of pet. I can provide all the care the client would require for their pet either at my house or their house during any time but I prefer at my home.

“Kady continues to exceed expectations!! So many cute photo updates throughout the day… she even managed to wrangle our Aussie into a cute Halloween outfit”

About: Hi! My name is Ania. I am huge animal lover and have been since I was a kid. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages including puppies as well as seniors dogs. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your fur baby! I have a 3 kids at school. I am staying mom. I am flexible. I am available most days for dogs walks, drop visits and daycare. I am available over the weekend for house sitting service. I have extensive experience dog walking and pet sitting and will keep close eye on your pet and stick with their daily schedule. Each walk or visit will include detailed summaries and photos of our time together to give you peace of mind ❤️

About: My furry family has been growing since 2017. We have rescued, puppy trained, and kitten trained and are up to 3 four legged friends in our home! We fostered animals from our local shelter for about a year during covid, however, we failed as foster parents and ended up adopting a kitten from one of our litters. There are more animals in our house then humans and we wouldn't have it any other way! My husband and I currently work from home so are available for walking/check ins whenever you need! I'm currently working full time but I work remotely so have the flexibility to come check on your animals whenever! We are also available most weekends. We have a fenced in yard, so if play time calls, they can go in and out as much as they want! We have plenty of toys and two dogs to keep them company. We also try to go on walks once or twice a day so they will get their steps in if they like to get out of the house!

“Bella was well taken care of in her first day care visit in 11 years. Thanks Christina for making her feel loved and secure. Will see you again real soon.”

“Sam and Rachel were awesome. They took amazing care of Poe and I can tell he had a great time! He’s already looking forward to his next visit!”

“Violet had a great day at daycare with Kevin! We knew that him and Taylor would be the perfect sitters for our frenchie puppy knowing they had two French bulldogs of their own and knew all the intricacies of possible health problems they could have and what to look out for. We felt completely at ease knowing these Frenchie parents were taking care of our girl. We had a great experience and would recommend them highly! We’re super bummed we will be moving and not able to continue to utilize their services!”

“Jinna has been such a WONDERFUL help! Our puppy, Pluto is a very shy and standoffish. But he does really well with DiDi! I really appreciate the time and effort that she puts into making his day great. If there’s anything of concern, she brings it to me immediately. I love all the updates and detailed summaries that we get throughout the day. And he gets lots of exercise and he has a new play buddy as well! Cannot recommend Jinna enough!!!”

“Our pup came back exhausted from playing and well taken care of. Brittany responds quickly and sent us picture/updates while we are away for a quick day trip. Highly recommend!”

About: I worked in marine mammal care and training at The Indianapolis Zoo for 10 years, and I hold a bachelor’s degree in behavioral neuroscience from Purdue University. My partner and I both work from home and we have two dogs of our own, so pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I have 2 friendly, crate trained dogs who get walks 2-3 times/day. We also recently built a mini dog park in our back yard for dogs who prefer to be off leash, but also need to be supervised while outside.

“Kelly and Mark were great! Brees had a great time hanging out with their dogs. Easy communication and a very enjoyable experience. Will definitely use them again!”

Boomer P.

“Our energetic Doodle could not have been in better hands. My wife often worries about using overcrowded and overstimulating pet daycare. We’re so glad we found Ellie (and her dog Red!). Luna is so happy to go there and we have no doubt she is safe. Bonus that she still comes home tired from all her fun!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child. I love dogs and cats alike. I don’t prefer one to the other and have two cats and a dog of my own. I’m just patient with animals and experienced in following the directions of parents. I like your animals to feel their routine is the same as when their owner is home. I am currently working part time from home, so I have a lot of flexibility with my days to come and take care of animals. I prefer to care for pets in the clients home because I have three of my own, but we have had dogs stay in our home with us. Our animals are extremely accepting of other dogs.

“We are very thankful with Gabriel for accepting taking care of our Peanut, and understanding how we feel when we can't be with her, we appreciate the pictures and videos a lot, we see how he cares for her and definitely we recommend him to any pup owners. He is very caring and patient, dachshunds are known for being very particular, he understands her dynamics and kept her calm and happy. We're very fortunate that we found Gabriel. Thanks to Rover too for having people who love what they do and are so caring and professional.”

“Hope took excellent care of our pup Zetta, who QUITE unexpectedly started her first (and hopefully only as her spay appointment was already scheduled when this happened) heat cycle the day we left her with Hope. Hope calmly communicated what was going on and was great about keeping Zetta. She knew I was freaked out about this starting and me not being around to monitor/take care of Zetta so she sent me several updates throughout the day. Zetta was calm and relaxed when we picked her up in the evening. Clearly she’d had a fine day.”

Sharon B.

“I was so grateful that she accepted my request the day before. Her house and family are lovely, and her fenced in yard is awesome. Also, her house seemed very secure, which put my mind at ease since one of my dogs is a true escape artist. My boys came home happy and tired! I would definitely use her again! ❤️🐾”
