This was my first dog sitter and I couldn’t have been luckier. I was nervous but Miss Lorena took great care of my pup and sent pictures of him along the way. Scrappy got very comfortable in her home with her husband Alex as well. And she lives in a great neighborhood where Scrappy took many walks. Thank you again Miss Lorena it was great meeting you.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Tessa and the dog daycare that she provides! She is very friendly, clearly a big dog lover, and is very attentive to my dog, Cypria's individual personality, needs, and preferences. Cypria always takes some time to warm up to new places and people, but has been very quickly warming up to Tessa. When Tessa first met Cypria, she even sat down on the floor so that Cypria would feel less intimidated and feel comfortable enough to approach her. I always feel completely at ease leaving my dog with Tessa knowing that she is so well cared for. Tessa also watched my family's Border Collie, Maia, who is incredibly energetic. Maia miraculously came home tired for once and very content after a day with lots of her favorite activity: fetch!

Jax absolutely loves Thanit. He is so excited to see her. When I drop him off he runs right in the house - never looking back to acknowledge that I’m leaving or say goodbye. During his stays, Thanit sends pictures and videos showing Jax in action - playing with toys, taking walks through the neighborhood, running around the backyard with her husband, and snuggling on the couch with her. Jax has truly found his 2nd home. And I’ve found peace of mind knowing he is with someone that loves and cares about him. We will be booking daycare with her again. I highly recommend Thanit - your dog will thank you.

About: I got my first dog (fox terrier) at 10 and was primarily responsible for his needs until I went to college. He lived to be 11 and I loved those 10 years with him so much. During high school and college until COVID started, I pet sit several dogs and a few cats. Then I adopted a retired racing greyhound when COVID started and adopted a rescue great dane in fall 2023. I would describe myself as consistent, adaptable, respectful, confident, observant, and caring. I am very understanding to the fact that every dog has different needs and that every owner has their own rules/training styles. I am an experienced dog handler. When I adopted the rescue great dane, he was completely untrained with very dangerous and challenging behaviors. I worked with 3 different trainers, took him to a group obedience class, and researched as much as I could to train him to be the good dog I knew he could be. After almost a year of rigorous training, he has been able to become an amazing well behaved dog. I am completely open to taking care of any breed, size, age, and personality. I will not shy away from or turn down taking care of the "difficult" dogs, or puppies, or senior dogs with many medical requirements. All dogs are great and deserve great care while their human is away! ***I live in a neighborhood off of Route 45 and Sterns School*** WALKS AND DROP-INS - Reoccurring bookings: Mon-Thu/Sat-Sun 11:30 a.m.-7:00 p.m.; Fri 4:00-7:00 p.m. - One-time bookings: Can be outside of the above times (except Fridays) if needed, but confirm with me first. ***A DISCOUNTED WALK RATE IS AVAILABLE DURING ALL BOARDING, HOUSE SITTING, AND DAYCARE BOOKINGS*** - 30 min walk per day = $10 (usually $20) - 15 min walk per day = $5 HOUSE SITTING: I am available to stay with your pet in your home any night and day of the week almost 24/7. Only time I would have to be away from your pet would be to go home for a couple hours if needed. But I can bring them with me to my house if they need 24hr supervision for any reason!*^ BOARDING: Your dog can stay overnight at my house any day of the week, provided that they are a small breed, well-behaved, and okay with large dogs.* DAYCARE: Your dog can stay at my house any day of the week provided that they are a small breed, well-behaved, and okay with large dogs.* - Re-occurring bookings: preferred drop off is 9 a.m. or later, pick up anytime is fine - One-time bookings: drop off can be earlier than 9 a.m. if needed, just confirm with me first, pick up anytime is fine --- *My greyhound is 9 y.o., 70 lb. and my great dane is 4 y.o., 140 lb. My great dane LOVES small, well-behaved dogs, but still struggles a bit with medium/large dogs. I am working to resolve this and will be able to accommodate those sizes for boarding/daycare in the future! ^If I house sit for you and you have a medium/large dog that cannot be left alone or does not like other dogs, I can still bring them to my house and crate my dogs in the other room! I will always uphold any rules/training style you have for me and your dog no matter what service I am providing. I am receptive to feedback and will always keep you informed about how my time is going with your dog and will always ask questions in order to take the best care of your dog. HOUSE SITTING: I am okay with multidog homes. I will leave your house the way you had it when you leave and I can get your mail/packages/put your trash cans out and back in as well. I can take care of other animals you have as well while you are gone. BOARDING/DAYCARE: Safety and peace of mind is of utmost importance for me. Since I have 2 large dogs already, I can only take one dog at a time. (Caveats: If an emergency, I could take a second dog; if you have two well-behaved small dogs, that might be okay too - just ask me). The greyhound is very chill and is great with any well-behaved dog. The great dane is fine with well-behaved small dogs. I will always take it slow on leash when introducing the dogs to each other and then they will always be supervised when together. Only other pets I have are fish. I have no kids. I keep the house very clean and doors to rooms/bathrooms closed so no way of getting in to things they shouldn't! I have a decently sized fenced backyard. There is a few feet of the fence that is higher off the ground so if I can keep small dogs on leash when they go out. I can also take them out by themself if necessary. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a basement so plenty of room in case the dogs need a break from each other or need to play separately from each other. Additionally, the great dane is extremely well crate trained and has an upstairs and downstairs crate that can be utilized. If I had to leave for some reason while your dog is staying at my house (which I rarely do, all dogs would be separated (by crate or being in a different room). You can bring their crate and/or I have an extra crate as well. All dogs can sleep in the bedroom but not on the bed!

About: From the beginning, my wife and I have shared a love for pets, especially dogs. I formed a home where our first child was a furry, four-legged friend. This beloved first canine child strengthened my love and taught me profound parenting skills, and I have passed that legacy on to our two teenage children and our three-year-old son. I formed a home where the love for our dogs is genuine and sincere. That's why caring for your puppies is my responsibility, and I take it very seriously. I have extensive experience caring for all types of dogs, breeds, and ages, and we carefully study their different and unique personalities and needs. I treat them with love and respect. From the moment your dog enters our home, he/she becomes another member of my family. Rest assured that he'll share unique and memorable spaces with each member of my family and will be a part of my family routine without exception. My home is a loving, personalized, safe, and warm home for your dog. Depending on your needs, I accommodate and strive to make our four-legged friend feel at home with us.

About: Ask me how to get $20 off your first Rover booking with me! Hola- Hablo Español, también! Hello there! I am a dog cat and chicken mama myself and love to be around all animals. I have owned and babysat chickens, cats, and dogs since i was little. I am very patient and loving towards animals and would love to care for your fur baby as per your requests while you are away. I work at home full time so I am up early and will spend full days with your pet. Let me know of any special requests and I will be happy to fulfill them! Located in Gurnee IL. I work from home full time and have a highly social and playful dog. During the day your boarded babies will play with Bentley (my dog) and nap on the bed in my office to jazz and classical music. During my break I usually walk my dog midday or late afternoon. If your dog or cat is not boarded, after 11A I am free to pop over and check on your fur babies and spend some time with them. My dog and cats safety at home are a high priority, I keep my home clean and free of anything they might chew or choke on. As well as all chemicals and other hazards showed away in cabinets they are unable to open. For my anxious dog I keep classical music on throughout the house to create a peaceful environment. Your pooch will feel at ease in my home and will always be watched and cared for. I make sure to send plenty of pictures and videos to update you on their mood and how their day is going. Nothing better than getting reassurance that your fur baby is in the best hands!! In your home I will watch them the entire time while they are playing and eating to make sure they are okay and haven’t gotten into any trouble.

About: I have pet sit since I was in middle school for neighbors and friends. I have experience with puppies through older dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, taking out, administering medicines, and of course playing with pets and cuddling them! I have had my cats since I was in first grade, so I understand how important pets are to a family! I am working as a dancer at Six Flags Great America this summer in their live shows. I will be working from 1-10pm Thursday through Mondays, and I have Tuesday’s and Wednesdays off. I am available each morning as early as needed until around 12, and I am also available for boarding. I do not work very far away, so although I will be out of the apartment for some hours each day, I will never be too far. I have a studio apartment with no additional pets, and very minimal furniture or places where your pets could get stuck or lost. It is a very safe and comfortable environment for pets to play and sleep in! I live right next to a park with plenty of space to walk and explore on a leash.

About: Growing up I’ve had many types of pets and have always been the one to have more compassion towards them. I’ve had dogs, bunnies, cats, ducks, and even birds. I love being able to understand their physical & emotional needs. I’ve also had a plethora of friends & neighbors that had me watch their precious pets. Wether that is walking, bathing, or cleaning. Working full-time but off during the weekends. Can make time during the late afternoon & evening. I have 4 budgies that I look after and 1 dog that I take on walks every other day. I like to give pets a sense of their previous home. If they are used to being around a spacious area, I take them on walks. If they’re more shy at first then I like to slowly play with them to feel comfortable.

Gwen is an amazing and passionate pet parent and I know she’ll provide your animal with the same love and care as she does her own. She is awesome when it comes to reading a dogs body language and does great at knowing when to give a dog a breaks. If you have big dogs that no problem Gwen has a huge Great Dane rescue that she had to basically teach how to walk on a leash, so big or small she can handle them all.

About: Ask me how to get $20 off your first Rover booking with me! Hola- Hablo Español, también! Hello there! I am a dog cat and chicken mama myself and love to be around all animals. I have owned and babysat chickens, cats, and dogs since i was little. I am very patient and loving towards animals and would love to care for your fur baby as per your requests while you are away. I work at home full time so I am up early and will spend full days with your pet. Let me know of any special requests and I will be happy to fulfill them! Located in Gurnee IL. I work from home full time and have a highly social and playful dog. During the day your boarded babies will play with Bentley (my dog) and nap on the bed in my office to jazz and classical music. During my break I usually walk my dog midday or late afternoon. If your dog or cat is not boarded, after 11A I am free to pop over and check on your fur babies and spend some time with them. My dog and cats safety at home are a high priority, I keep my home clean and free of anything they might chew or choke on. As well as all chemicals and other hazards showed away in cabinets they are unable to open. For my anxious dog I keep classical music on throughout the house to create a peaceful environment. Your pooch will feel at ease in my home and will always be watched and cared for. I make sure to send plenty of pictures and videos to update you on their mood and how their day is going. Nothing better than getting reassurance that your fur baby is in the best hands!! In your home I will watch them the entire time while they are playing and eating to make sure they are okay and haven’t gotten into any trouble.

Elena is amazing!! She is very responsive, followed my instructions, and took such great care of Briscoe -- my sweet pup was happy and tired when I picked her up, so I know she had a fun day with Elena. Briscoe is looking forward to the next time she sees Elena! Thank you so much!!

About: I have pet sit since I was in middle school for neighbors and friends. I have experience with puppies through older dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, taking out, administering medicines, and of course playing with pets and cuddling them! I have had my cats since I was in first grade, so I understand how important pets are to a family! I am working as a dancer at Six Flags Great America this summer in their live shows. I will be working from 1-10pm Thursday through Mondays, and I have Tuesday’s and Wednesdays off. I am available each morning as early as needed until around 12, and I am also available for boarding. I do not work very far away, so although I will be out of the apartment for some hours each day, I will never be too far. I have a studio apartment with no additional pets, and very minimal furniture or places where your pets could get stuck or lost. It is a very safe and comfortable environment for pets to play and sleep in! I live right next to a park with plenty of space to walk and explore on a leash.

About: Growing up I’ve had many types of pets and have always been the one to have more compassion towards them. I’ve had dogs, bunnies, cats, ducks, and even birds. I love being able to understand their physical & emotional needs. I’ve also had a plethora of friends & neighbors that had me watch their precious pets. Wether that is walking, bathing, or cleaning. Working full-time but off during the weekends. Can make time during the late afternoon & evening. I have 4 budgies that I look after and 1 dog that I take on walks every other day. I like to give pets a sense of their previous home. If they are used to being around a spacious area, I take them on walks. If they’re more shy at first then I like to slowly play with them to feel comfortable.
