Doggy Day Care in Des Plaines

“Corey & Robert are the best sitters! Ollie absolutely loves going over there and playing with their cutest pup Bosco. He always comes home super sleepy from lots of play time. They’re super flexible and accomodating with our schedule, which has extremely helpful. I highly recommend them!”

“Lori, Wil and Winnie were great at keeping Lucy company while I attended an event. Lucy sometimes needs help adjusting to new spaces so I was relieved when I saw Lori was able to get her settled on the couch. Lori even went to the extent of spoon-feeding Lucy to help her eat dinner since she was snubbing her dinner. Lori, Wil and Winnie were amazing and looking forward to more bookings with them!”

“It was Ari’s first time “out” since we adopted him 2 months ago, plus he is definitely a leash reactive dog. Do needles to say - I worried a lot. Diana was wonderful. Everything was great. She texted me and sent a video, she comforted Ari when he was missing me and I could see that he developed a trust. I am really grateful and would definitely use Diana’s services again.”

About: I grew up on a farm training horses, caring for various farm animals, as well as handling dogs and pets. I lived with two dog trainers for multiple years. I also am an animal rescuer and foster parent that has experience with all kinds of dogs and cats with every type of temperament at every life stage. I typically spend the week days at home in Des Plaines, and the extended weekends at my boyfriend’s in River West. I work remotely and can come sit at your house for as long as required. My schedule is very flexible and I have a car that is animal friendly as well. I can provide your dog or cat with a fulfilling day of play, exercise, and cuddles! Each animal is different and I will cater to the specific needs of each pet.

“Eileen is wonderful! Our dog requires special attention due to a recent surgery. I was hesitant on leaving him with anyone. She was great with the special needs he required. She was attentive to him and kept us posted on his daily stay with her. She included pictures as well. Will be using Eileen again. Hoping that our pooch is better with his surgery at that time.”

“Janette was great with Bane, she seems very sweet and patient. I would definitely book her again,.Bane has a lot of energy and Janette was able to handle him and keep him busy.”

“Sprinkles loves her!”

“Hector haa taken care of my pups in day care and weekends, he is great dog care along with Bruno the bernedoodle, they both care for the visiting dogs, and make sure they are always taken care off. The have lots of space to play around or chill. He cares very much for Bruno , they are both great hosts.”

“Would definitely recommend Javier! He accepted my dog on a last minute booking. She walked away with him without even looking back or getting stressed about us leaving. He walked and watered her. Thanks for dog sitting!”

“Great dog sitter! Anna was easy to communicate with and sent us tons of photos. Highly recommend!”

“Eva helped us to take care of Winter with a short notice and Winter enjoyed the stay with Eva! You feel confidence at the moment you drop your dog at Eva’s place.”

“Mandy was so nice!!! She took care of my dog and she was extremely cool, she sent me pictures of what she was doing and text me when my dog took her dinner. I 100% recommend Mandy!”

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I had both cats and a dog growing up, which I helped care for. My love for animals continued into my adult life. I recently lost my 18 year old (very high maintenance) miniature pinscher, Buddy. I currently have two cats, a Persian (also very high maintenance when it comes to grooming) and a Lilac point Siamese. People always joke that they want to come back as one of my pets in their next life because of the love, care and attention I give them. Not only do I have almost 20 years of care experience with my personal pets (cough family), but I am also many of my family/friend’s go-to pet sitter when they travel. I have experience with pets of all life stages; young, adult and senior/geriatric. Usually with senior care comes medications, specific routines, grooming, etc, for which I am well-seasoned. My husband and I have decided to wait awhile to get another dog, meaning, I have an abundance of love to give. p.s. Attention dog owners: I’m a runner so if your dog likes to get some short distance runs in, I’m your gal. Generally, I work from home 2x per week and I am in office the rest of the week. My boss (dog owner aka his kids) is also very flexible and understanding when it comes to working from home when needed. There were many times towards the end of my love bug Buddy’s life that I needed to work from home more. When I am in office, I usually leave around 8:30am and return around 5:30pm, but my husband who is in office Mon-Fri, returns home around 3:30-4pm. My overall schedule is very flexible. I have pet sitted in both scenarios: For in MY home care- I have a fenced in backyard for quick potty breaks and for play. I also live close to and frequent often the Des Plaines River trail for walks/runs. Animals can roam free or be crated when I’m away or I can give them their own quiet space away from the kitties depending on the owner’s preference. Client home care- I understand that this is sometimes easier when it comes to routines

“Grainne has grown up with pets her entire life and always been an animal lover. She is an amazing caretaker to everyone in her life, especially animals. She even helped raise and care for a litter of puppies. She loves to spend time with her dog, Kovu. From throwing the ball in the yard to taking him on long walks around the neighborhood. My own dog is always excited to see her when we meet up for doggie playdates. Grainne is attentive, reliable, caring and trustworthy. Your pet will have a great time and will be so safe in her hands!”

“Stacy is compassionate, trustworthy and has a love for animals. She is reliable and attentive to our dogs and has a great understanding of their needs. I appreciate the love and care she has given to our four legged fur babies. I highly recommend her caring for your dogs.”

About: I have been taking care of my own dogs and cat since I was a little girl along with taking care of neighborhood dogs and assisting in the fostering of about 10 different dogs ranging from older dogs to young puppies all being different breeds and sizes. I love animals and love working around them and caring for them, I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure they are comfortable and happy! You can trust me to do whatever needs to be done while you are away and that your pets would be in good hands until you can get back to them. Thank you for choosing rover and I hope all your pups are doing oh so well! I can’t wait to care for them! I am currently working part time so I will definitely have plenty of time to care for your pups and devote my time to them! I treat all animals with the love and care that I would treat my own and will follow specifications that you have found work best for your pet!
