Doggy Day Care in Cicero

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of breeds, ages, and sizes. My family has a long history of rescuing dogs from shelters—especially those who struggled to find homes due to trauma, reactivity, or anxiety. With patience, structure, and consistent training, I have helped many of these dogs gain confidence and eventually transition into loving forever homes. Because of this, I’m experienced with: • Reactive, anxious, or shy dogs • Dogs with difficult backgrounds • Senior dogs • Puppies and high-energy breeds • Multi-dog household management I’m comfortable preparing homemade meals if your dog has dietary restrictions or special needs, and I’m always happy to follow any routine your pet requires. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means your pup gets: • Frequent potty breaks • Lots of one-on-one time • Consistent supervision throughout the day I have high activity levels—great for energetic dogs who love walks and playtime—yet also have calm, patient personalities that help anxious or older dogs feel secure. I have two children: a 1-year-old daughter who is home full-time, and a 7-year-old son who is home outside of school and sports. Both kids adore dogs and have grown up understanding pet body language and boundaries. While i do ask that your dog be kid-friendly, i also make sure our children respect each dog’s comfort level and personal space. What You Can Expect • Reliable communication • Photo and video updates upon request • Safe, loving care tailored to your dog’s needs • Plenty of walks around our large subdivision filled with sidewalks, parks, and ponds—weather permitting • A warm, family-style environment with structure, comfort, and enrichment Your dog will truly be treated like part of our family while they’re here. 💛🐾 I truly love dogs—my two pups are part of everything we do, and they enjoy meeting new friends. My home is designed with safety, comfort, and flexibility in mind: • Fully enclosed 8-foot privacy fence for secure, weather-permitting outdoor play • Completely pet-proofed home • Multiple levels and gated areas for dogs who need separation • Retractable gates and room dividers for customized safe zones • Doggy Chill Space for crates, quiet rest areas, and decompression time If your dog prefers not to interact with other dogs (or only struggles with certain types—male, large, senior, etc.), i can easily provide full separation and rotating play schedules to ensure every dog has a calm, happy stay.

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.

“Jinna and Dui kept Nissy for 5 hours today as a way for them to get to know Nissy and vise versa before she stays with them for a week starting this Friday. Jinna sent pictures and a video during the stay to help alleviate my fears (we’ve never left Nissy with anyone but family before). When I picked her up, she was happy and interacting with Jinna’s dog and another dog Jinna was sitting for…which was really a wonderful surprise because Nissy usually just tries to hide from other dogs. Jinna’s house is very clean and pet friendly, she has a great back yard and she is so sweet and gentle, and is obviously very comfortable caring for other people’s pets. I can finally relax and enjoy myself when we can’t take our pup with us knowing she will be loved and well cared for by Jinna!”

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!

About: I have been a dog groomer for 5 years now! I also show Brussels Griffons and Dutch Rabbits. I love working with all types of animals. I was a doggy hotel and daycare associate for 4 years. In that time I have cared for dogs of all ages. I was responsible for feeding them, taking them on walks, and giving medication. I am a dog groomer that works from home! I love being able to spend my day with my favorite clients. I have a fenced in yard and bedroom dedicated just for dogs as well as a grooming salon. While I am taking care of your pets I visit them 1-3 times a day depending on your preferences. I like to stay with them for as long as possible because I know it can be hard for them while your away.

About: I have had my own pets all my life but have recently been fostering and boarding dogs. I have had several pups in my care over the last couple of years and it's always a joy to have them! I work full time from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and give them attention! I have two very friendly small dogs that love having playmates. I have a fenced in backyard with reinforced locks for security where your pup can play. We do hourly potty breaks and daily walks (weather permitting).

“Highly recommend Stefanie to take care of your dogs! Our girl loves going to daycare and comes back so tired from a day of love and playing. So many pictures taken and she is always quick to communicate. We’ve tried a few different places, and Stefanie is the best — Thank you Stefanie!”

“Our dog Bear was well taken care of and spent plenty of time outside for exercise. They were great about sending photos of him during the day.”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs every age. I also have my CNA license, so I have a decent idea of anything health related. I work part time, but I can be pretty flexible with my schedule and am also an early morning person so I can work a variety of hours I have always and will continue to absolutely love animals / dogs and always am wanting to give them the love, attention, and enrichment they deserve

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.

“Bella had a great time with Christina and her family. She was super flexible and accommodating. The visit went really well and Christina is clearly very experienced with dogs. We really appreciated her letting Bella hang out at her house.”

“Emily was amazing!! She took such good care of our dog and kept us updated with pics the whole time, which we loved. He came back sooo happy and exhausted (in the best way) 😭 Super easy to communicate with, really responsive, and just overall very chill and caring. You can tell she really loves what she does. Would 100% book again and recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!!”

About: I've been watching pets for a very long time around my neighborhood and i've been wanting to expand my clientele for a while! I have two dogs at home so I know a lot about dogs and about what they need from a caregiver. I have a lot of experience from helping out neighbors with cats and dogs but also even with hamsters, turtles, and even fish. I love animals and I would love to help out! I'm currently 19 and about to be a sophomore in college at IU Bloomington. I'm here for the summer before I have to go back to college in August so pet sitting is the perfect opportunity! I'm free to help anytime! I have a big yard and two dogs at home to keep your pets company! I have a food bowl, water bowl, and 2 different crate sizes available for when your pets come, and endless toys. I love keeping my clients updated, especially for a long stay so pictures and videos can be provided too!

“Olivia is awesome. She is very caring and responsive. Sufi has been with her multiple times and he always came back home happy and tired. Last couple of occasions, Sufi did not want to come back home, and that says it all!!”
