“Michelle and her son are wonderful! She took our booking last minute, which we really appreciated, and was so flexible when our business event in the city ran longer than expected. Our Boomer was in great hands, and we’re so thankful for her care and understanding. Highly recommend!”

“Our pup loves going to Erica and Ricardo’s for daycare. She’s an anxious girl, but she gets so excited when we pull up and runs into the house as soon as we get there. She gets lots of playtime and love, and we get cute pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend them!”

“Thank you for having Addison over for a play date! Emily was easy to communicate with, accommodating to my schedule and send frequent status updates! Addison took a post play day nap within 10 mins of being home!”

“Sasha is great! I have an unpredictable work schedule that she was totally willing to accommodate. She has a great personality and is a good pack leader for the dogs. Her house is an inviting environment with a nice backyard for the pups to run around in.”

About: After our dog Yoli passed, we wanted to channel our love for animals into giving working pet parents real peace of mind during the day. Wellington Pet Suites offers premium home-based day care, dog walking, and in-home drop-in visits — designed around the schedules of busy professionals in Montclare, Oak Park, Elmwood Park, and the near west. Our quiet single-family home features a fully fenced yard for real off-leash play, and with no other pets in the home, your dog receives undivided attention in a calm family environment. I have over 20 years of personal experience caring for dogs and am committed to daily photo updates and personalized care for every guest. I work from home with a flexible schedule structured around the standard workday. Drop-off window is 7-9am; pickup window is 5-7pm — designed to match your work commute. During the day your dog gets yard time, walks, indoor play, supervised rest, and constant companionship. For drop-in visits and walks, I serve a tight radius around Montclare to keep response times short. Meet-and-greets are flexible and free. Your dog spends the day in our quiet single-family home with a fully fenced yard for safe supervised off-leash play. With no other pets in the home, your dog receives undivided attention without the stress of resource guarding or scuffles. A calm indoor space provides rest and decompression between play sessions. We require current vaccinations (rabies, DHPP, Bordetella) from all guests for everyone's safety, and emergency vet contacts plus your treatment authorization are kept on file from the first day.
About: I am at home full time so I am available to always keep a close watch of your dog, take your dog outside a numerous of times. I have been sitting dogs for about 4 years now. I have experience breeding and raising chows (which is a very hard breed to raise especially for first time dog owners). There is a dog park right across the street from my home your dog would love. And around the perimeter of the dog park is a dog path. I normally walk the dogs around the dog path and then play fetch and some other games in the park. I have a gated backyard so they are allow to play back there as well. I am close to a Walgreens and across the street from a pet store so if they need anything I have easy access to that.

“Hands down one of the best sitters EVER! My cuddle bug had been going to her previous sitter for about 5 months and was still trying to warm up to them. However, after a week with Jonelle, Gina was wiggling her butt ready to go. One day she just walked into Jonelle's house without turning back to say bye or to whine. She's truly amazing and makes sure your dogs are treated as part of her family. Her family is just as great about letting your dog have space and build up comfort to bond with them. If you want someone who has great communication, is compassionate, and loves on your dogs (to the point you might consider your dog a traitor) then Jonelle is absolutely the person for you. All around a great person and sitter.”


“Our puppy had a great time with Diana! She was responsive and helped provide the daily exercise our dog needs. Had a lot of great feedback after day care and we appreciated her positivity! Would use her again.”

About: Hi, my name is Rick. I would like to start by saying my schedule is extremely flexible, as I am recently retired from the Office of the Chief Judge, Circuit Court of Cook County. My family and I have a home that has plenty of space to accommodate your pet. We have an 11-year-old son and also have three small dogs of our own that are extremely friendly, playful, up-to-date with all of their shots, and in great health. I believe pets complete a home. I am extremely passionate and enthusiastic about the care and needs of all types of animals. My experience in Pet Care began from having my own pets and caring for the ones of family and friends over a span of 40 plus years. I have also fostered a few dogs over the years. I have a substantial amount of experience with cats, guinea pigs, bunnies, hamsters, turtles, fish and so many others. My goal is to ensure your comfort and confidence, knowing that your pet will be loved and cared for as if it were our own. Should your pet require any medical attention or medication I am completely capable of providing this service, while in my care. We hope you consider us. I look forward to providing a caring, efficient service for your pets. My schedule is extremely flexible, as I am recently retired. For the exception of dropping off and picking up my son from school I am home all day to provide attention and care for your pet. I have a large yard with a privacy fence and three friendly, small dogs to keep your pup company. If preferred, I can easily crate your dog if needed.

“I couldn't have asked for a more down-to-earth, caring, responsible person to take care of my dog. Even with a wonderful grassy fenced-in backyard to play in, Camille also took our dog for two walks along the peaceful tree-lined neighborhood she resides in. Our dog is generally anxious in new settings but, when I came to pick him up, he was completely relaxed on the rug along with their dog, Rosie. With other Rover sitters, he usually bolts for me and the door simultaneously with a wide-eyed frenzy which I had always chalked up to his anxious personality. When my dog didn't bolt, I knew immediately that she had been especially hospitable kind and loving towards him - for him to feel so safe and look so comfortable and at home. I saw it in his manner and felt it in my gut. There is only one other Rover sitter (out of many we have tried) that has had this effect on him. I highly recommend Camille to take care of your dog because she has something special. I would be willing to drive 30 minutes out of my way and back to have her take care of our dog. There is nothing I want more than to know my dog is happy and content when I am not around.”

“Ashley was our first experience with a Rover sitter, and we have a very shy/nervous lab mix. She did great! Ashley sent lots of photos throughout their visit which really made us feel at ease. Our dogs were happy and playing when we came to pick them up. We are planning on using Ashley again on our next trip! 10 out 10!”

“Casey & Jonathan took very good care of my Hazel. I was very happy with them. Really nice & helpful people & it was so nice to see Hazel play with their one-year old daughter.”

“Robert was very welcoming, patient, and helpful for both me and my dog, Maya, as this was our first booking ever! He took his time to let her get comfortable and introduce her with the other pups he had in house. Allowed me to be just as comfortable leaving her for the day! Came back to pick up one happy and VERY tuckered out pup! Loved the pictures! Looked like we both had a great experience booking with Robert!🐶 We will be scheduling again soon!”

“Jackie saved the day, offering to sit for my dog CoCo when the other sitter failed to come through for me. She is kind, thoughtful, responsible, and communicative, and I love her Black Cat! I recommend her whole-heartedly. :)”

“Ruben made our new venture into Rover very easy. He responds quickly and had availability right away. We are looking forward to Nox continuing to get to know him and open up to his dogs.”


“We were so grateful to have found Arlene! Fred loved going there and we knew he was being well cared for. Arlene is very professional, responsive., and caring. She has a way with dogs, for sure!”

Lauriann and Sven were so accommodating and supportive of our pup’s needs for doggy day care. They were responsive and communicative and followed our instructions and checked in and sent pics. So thankful for their gracious and loving care for our dog. Would definitely book with them again!

Aaron was so helpful with watching our dog before our son’s birthday party! He was professional, friendly, and clearly a dog person (has a great calm energy around our pup). She warmed right up to him and I was grateful he was thoughtful enough to swing by and grab her day of vs us having to take her to him. We would def recommend Aaron and are looking forward to using him in the future!

Louie had a fun visit to Michelle's house and was able to play with two other dogs. Her son was home and took them all for a walk and shared pictures. It was exactly what I was looking for, a great way for my dog to be social with others, in an open safe place. This was my first use of Rover, and I'm glad it was with Michelle.

Hands down one of the best sitters EVER! My cuddle bug had been going to her previous sitter for about 5 months and was still trying to warm up to them. However, after a week with Jonelle, Gina was wiggling her butt ready to go. One day she just walked into Jonelle's house without turning back to say bye or to whine.

If you want someone who has great communication, is compassionate, and loves on your dogs (to the point you might consider your dog a traitor) then Jonelle is absolutely the person for you. All around a great person and sitter.

I can’t say enough about Luci and Luciano! Both of my Frenchies love them and always gets excited when we pull up for drop off. I especially appreciate their professionalism with communication and individual care they give my girls. I am so grateful to have a reliable, dependable and caring family that I have no doubt will take good care of my girls. 💛💛💛. Thanks so much!!

Daisy absolutely loved her time with Marissa. I am extremely grateful for how communicative and thorough Marissa was with her time with Daisy. We did a daycare stay while we were having a large party and Marissa’s warm and kind energy gave us such ease about leaving Daisy with her. She gave Daisy two big walks and took lots of pictures. She understood the delicacies of introducing dogs to each other and made Daisy’s stay relaxing, fun, and stress free. I’m grateful for all the photos and the garmin map/route posts too. We will definitely be calling Marissa again!
