Doggy Day Care In Highland Park

“Magdalena is an exceptional doggie dare care provider. I reached out to her because my office is requiring that I now come in after 4 years of work from home. I was nervous that my 10-year-old corgi with various health issues would not be enthused about the change, but he LOVES going to Magdalena's house where he is showered with affection all day long. Magdalena sends pictures and videos and updates throughout the day, and my little guy looks ecstatically happy. She is truly the best. I highly recommend her.”

“Margaret took wonderful care of my dog, Hazel, for three days. She provided lots of updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was at work. She was also flexible and willing to accommodate early morning drop-offs, which I really appreciated. Hazel was clearly well cared for, and I’d definitely book with her again.”

“Kim was great! It was so kind of her to be flexible with my wacky work hours. She sent me lots of pics of my pup and took her on walks with her own dogs. It was great to be able to have a dogsitter who also has dogs so my pup can socialize! I will certainly book her in the future!”

“Crystal took good care of my dog and provided photo updates. Her home was clean and secure. Her dog was very friendly and got along with Kevin. I will work with Crystal again.”

About: Hi! We’re a work-from-home family—along with our sweet fun goldendoodle co-pilot. Over the years, I’ve cared for and raised rabbits, cats, dogs, and even a teenager. I also use Rover for our own dog, so I understand what you’re looking for in a sitter: someone who communicates clearly, sends photos, and treats your dog like family. That’s exactly how I care for every pup in our home. Our dog gets 10,000 steps a day. I also know how to avoid mean dogs behind fences, and I carry a taser for emergencies. I am new to Rover, but not new to dog-sitting. I regularly care for dogs for our neighbors and family. I work from home with a flexible schedule. Morning dog walks and afternoon dog walks happen everyday and we aim for 10,000 steps or more. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I am best suited for well-socialized dogs who are comfortable in a home environment and get along with other dogs. I treat our dog guests the way I treat my own: like a member of our family.

About: What sets me apart is how deeply I tune into each pet. I'm an empathetic and thoughtful caregiver — I read the subtle cues and anticipate what a dog needs before they have to ask. I genuinely care for every pet as if they were my own. I also have hands-on experience with: • Puppies (patience, potty training, basic commands) • Senior pets (gentle handling, mobility support, medication routines) • Basic training reinforcement After decades of pet sitting on the side and loving every minute, I've learned that the little things — a calm voice, a predictable routine, noticing when something feels off — make all the difference. Pet care is my full-time focus. My daily routine revolves entirely around the pets I'm caring for. A typical day starts early — morning walks, feeding, and medication if needed. Throughout the day, I schedule playtime and rest according to each pet's rhythm. Evenings are for settling everyone in, sending updates to owners, and prepping for the next day. Because this is my only job, I'm fully present; No juggling meetings or rushing off to a desk. Your pet gets my complete attention. I care for pets in my own home. I've created a calm, pet-friendly space where dogs feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Here's what that looks like: • My home is clean, secure, and set up with pets in mind (no hazards, plenty of cozy spots) • I follow your pet's regular schedule — feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and rest • I only take a small number of pets at a time, so each one gets individual attention • I send daily photos and updates so you can see exactly how they're doing For safety, I'm careful about introductions between pets, keep the environment calm, and never leave pets unsupervised in risky situations. Your pet's well-being is my full-time focus.

“Hi Chelsea! Thank you sooo much for watching our baby dog and taking such excellent care of him 💖 we look forward to him staying with you again later this week. Thank you for not only being available on such short notice but also being flexible to the timing as we navigated a lot of scheduling needs. We appreciate you so much and tramp came home super happy and content (we can tell he had a good time) ❤️🫶”

About: Raised around the world and proudly served in the US Coast Guard (Honorably Discharged)from 1990-98. I’m now rooted in the Montecito Heights area for the last 20 years. I’ve never known life without a furry family member by my side. I understand how much your four-legged companion means to you. I treat every pet with the same love, safety, and respect I’d give my own. I bring hands - on experience in puppy potty training, senior pet care and bath time- having lovingly cared for our own elderly pets through every stage of life. Whether you have a brand new pup who needs a little extra patience or a seasoned senior who deserves extra TLC, your furry family member is in good hands here! I am retired and my calendar is wide open to the loving care of your four legged friend(s). I am currently working to help save money to send my daughter to college . Our home has a fence with a metal security barrier to prevent little pups from getting out and we have a yard. Our pets are safe and well loved. I will treat your furry friends the same as if they were my own- with respect and care.

“Amanda is very dedicated and caring with my dog. She is intuitive, understanding and offered invaluable insight to help me shape my little one’s habits. My pup had a wonderful time and Amanda’s dog Mochi makes for a wonderful playmate. Very grateful that I found her.”

“Natalie was wonderful! She accommodated our last-minute request with such kindness and flexibility, which we really appreciated. She was very friendly and took great care of our dog!”

About: I love dogs and figuring out how to help them live their best happiest life. I rescued my dog Sadie ten years ago and she’s come so far! As someone who’s used Rover for my own dog, I know how stressful it can be leaving your pal. So, I take the responsibility very seriously, following EVERY rule and boundary established. I want you to feel safe and secure. I’ll also send as many pictures and videos as you’d like! They’re already going to be on my camera roll 😉 My schedule is incredibly flexible. I work freelance and can set my own hours around walks and snuggles. I’m open to adapting to your dog’s needs! I have a fenced in outdoor area with an additional pet gate for safety. I ensure all food items are located out of reach. And I will follow any safety protocols set in place!

“My pup had a great stay with Frances! It was his first time in day care, and he really enjoyed himself. We are planning to go back right away. It feels good to have someone nearby who we can trust to care for our dog when we have things going on or are out of town. She sent tons of pictures and was very in tune with our dog. Thank you Frances!”

About: I live with males. I don’t have any pets of my own and will only pet-sit one client at a time! I have been animal sitting privately for 8 years so I recently decided to take this more on a public level. I am able to give your pets and furr babies any type of medication. Just being able to hang out with animals, is fun in general. I do live with males so please let me know if that is an issue. I work from home so I have plenty of time to take care of any animal! I can also help with training while I watch them if needed. My schedule is flexible. I have pride on making the environment safe for any animal. I do like to go over any types of protocols that are needed (medicine, allergies, aggression, etc…) with the owner.

“Happy that we were accommodated even though it was last minute. I got pictures of Nala & Nova playing outside and resting. I can tell Susan and Seo Kyung loves doggies!”

Nicoreta B.

“Miguel and his wife were so kind and helpful. They took Hazey in last minute and were quick to respond, which we really appreciated. They were very accommodating to her needs and made her feel comfortable right away. Their home is spacious, clean, and welcoming, which gave us peace of mind. We’re very grateful for their flexibility and care and would absolutely recommend them.”

“Amanda took great care of my pup Junie! She was easy to communicate with, and Junie left super happy and tired in the best way :)”

About: My sweet doggie Eleanor and I love other pups. I've been a dog walker and dog sitter & boarded for years. Come play with us! >> New Policy >>> We are only taking female doggies at the moment. Sorry guys! I work at home and set my own schedule. I love taking doggies on hikes or playing in our big backyard that has a huge parklike hillside. There is a lot on our property to keep pups occupied. Car rides to adventures are easy to do. I have a large fenced yard and many safety gates and crates inside the home to keep pups corralled when they need to be. There are separate areas for toys and feeding.

About: I provide a highly attentive, structured environment where your dog becomes part of the family, ensuring they get everything they need and more. A Welcoming, Social Home: I have a friendly dog who loves company and a daughter who adores dogs, meaning your pet will receive constant affection and socialization. Versatile & Specialized Care: I confidently handle a wide variety of dogs. My experience includes training young pets with positive reinforcement and providing patient, dedicated senior care. Constant Attention: Thanks to a highly flexible schedule, your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive consistent supervision, exercise, and tailored care. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, as I have a highly flexible schedule and can prioritize walks, exercise, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day and week. This allows me to be reliable with timing, adapt to pets’ needs, and accommodate both recurring care and last-minute requests. I care for pets in my home by following their routine closely so pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get proper exercise and enrichment, and receive plenty of attention and affection. I keep the home clean, handle litter or waste, monitor behavior and health, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away.
