About: Our trained and loving staff provide quality care. We have a rigorous first day evaluation/ 'interview' process for all dogs in our care to ensure only the most well behaved and social pups are approved to be in playgroup. We keep small playgroups of 15 to 20 dogs. We take hourly potty breaks, have toy playtime, outdoor mini pool pawties in the summer to keep cool, and so much more!

“First time using Rover and got so lucky with such great sitters. I’m grateful for Catherine and Johnny’s flexibility and accommodation with my difficult work schedule and were very quick with communication. My dog definitely had a lot of fun because he refused to leave when I picked him up and tried going back to their house lol. Looking forward to future visits!!”

About: I've been around animals all my life. I've taken care of dogs and cats for 15 years. My family has had a golden retriever, cockapoo, golden doodle, greyhound and a rescue. I also used to have a tuxedo male cat. I am also used to small animals. I currently have a dwarf lionhead bunny with my fiance. I have a very calm and loving personality. Anyone you ask, will say I love petting animals no matter the breed or type. I also love to play, whether it's tug of war, walks, catch, whatever it is. I personally love being outdoors and being athletic with animals. I live in Edgewater right at the border of Uptown (Foster Ave&Sheridan Rd). I live next to Foster beach and would love to be able to take your pet on adventures. I am a very loving person and take care of animals as if they were my own pet, sorry if it's tacky, but I think in other peoples' shoes and it's how I'd want my pet loved. I am also comfortable with administering any medicinal needs. I am free almost 24/7. I am open to open early morning, late nights and everything in between. I am more than willing to get around about anywhere. I live in an apartment building very close to Foster beach. Very animal friendly building and a dog bath. I do live with my fiance, and she would be assisting me with pet care as needed.

“I was so impressed by Sid’s professionalism and communication. During our initial video call he gave me the run down of what a typical day looks like and asked many thoughtful questions that gave me reassurance in leaving my puppy. He has three chihuahuas himself and happens to be a dog trainer which added to my confidence in my tiny chihuahua having a safe place to socialize. He introduced them strategically and expressed that he would separate them from Yoko if I felt more comfortable or Yoko was showing any signs of distress from the interactions. Yoko LOVED it and had the best time!! Sid is an expert communicator and sent so many photos, updates, and VIDEOS which I didn’t even know you could get those on here. On the report card he also included precise times for walks, meals, and potty breaks which was also something that set him apart from other experiences and is helpful information as a puppy mom. Yoko wasn’t here for formal dog training so I didn’t expect anything extensive like that but it was nice to know he could reinforce what we’ve been doing and point out any behaviors or weak points we still have to work on. He gave lots of pointers and they certainly helped Yokos confidence on walks! So grateful for our visit and will definitely use Sid again!”

“Zev loves his daycare with Natalia and her fur-daughter Bella. She sends lots of updates and pictures with tails high and wagging. Now on walks, Zev is always pulling towards Natalia's house. Thank you Natalia for always being flexible and responsive!”

About: Hi everyone :) It's so great being surrounded by a community of animal lovers! I currently have a 8-year-old blue tabby cat, named Sesame. I’ve owned a variety of dogs: pitbull mixes + sharpei mixes, and I have a lot of dog / puppy fostering experience! I love spending time with any and all animals! If anything, I would hope to create a consistent relationship with the animals that I meet. Because of my foster experience, I prefer house sitting — can be short term daycare style or long term boarding. I'm happy to send you updates and photos as the day goes on as well! Please contact me at any time and I'd be happy to even do a trial run :) I work remote full time so I am always home! My partner lives with me and is also fully remote so we’ll have two sets of hands to take care of your furry loved one. I spoil the animals I care for. If they have dietary restrictions, I spoil them with toys and love. But with your permission, I will always sneak them a piece of cheese!!
