Doggy Day Care In Irving Park

About: Hi there! My name is Nicky (he/they) and I’ve been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family members for upwards of a decade and am commonly regarded as the go-to sitter in my community. I strive to treat every pet (and owner) with the utmost respect and kindness, and I’ll follow your instructions to a T! (The T stands for toe beans 🤓) Currently unemployed due to layoffs in my industry, so I’ll be able to give your fur bestie as much attention as possible! I can do overnights, multiple nights in a row, or just a drop-in/walk; whatever you need - I got you! :) I have a fenced yard in front of my apartment complex so your fur bestie can run free and tire themselves out before beddybye! I can crate your pup if you provide one or they can get some shut-eye on the couch or wherever they’re comfy!

“Sarah and Walter have been such rockstars in helping us take care of our pup after his surgery! They are super responsive and flexible and great with taking care of special needs dogs. We are so appreciative of all of their work, and would definitely recommend them!”

“Peter was AMAZING with my puppy, Milo! I can't say enough good things about Peter and the care he provided for my pup! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this was more than just a daycare — it was a second home. Milo immediately felt comfortable, and I loved how welcoming and knowledgeable Peter was during drop-off. Throughout the day, I received regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. It’s obvious that Peter genuinely loves dogs and treats each one like their own. Milo came home happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way after a full day of playing with Peter’s dog, Khalil! The space was clean, safe, and dog-friendly, and it’s clear that Peter pays close attention to each dog's personality and needs. We’ve officially found our go-to daycare! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Milo! I’m so happy to have found a daycare provider I can trust. 🐶💛”

“Megan was a great host for our pups! Very willing to accommodate our schedule and responsive before and during our trip. Our two dogs had a great time during day care at her place and come home tuckered out both days they stated there. Thanks for taking such good care of them!”

“Bobo had a great time with Carly. I loved the pictures she sent and how happy and tired he was when I picked him up! Carly was gentle, attentive and thorough with her care. She was also very responsive so arranging drop off and pickup was very easy.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years. I treat my puppy like a family member and will do the same for yours! Since they are family they are allowed on the couch and will get plenty of belly rubs & cuddles. I work from home. My pup and I go for a walk through the park or around the neighborhood first thing at 7:30 am and then usually breakfast is serve. We go back four our next walk at 11:30/12 then we go out again after work at 5pm. This one’s a longer walk and we follow that with play time and dinner. :) That is followed by cuddles. I will send you super cute updated images so you can see what fun your fur baby is up to :) . I also have a fenced small backyard incase your pup wants to do some light leash free jogging with me.

“Chachi had a good time at Ian's house. He had three beds and couches to lounge on with blankets and pillows which he enjoyed a lot. He also had outdoor yard to roam and sunbathe. He enjoyed his time.”

“Leeraz was so great with our 7 month old puppy! She gives the pups lots of love and attention, and sends tons of photo and video updates. Will definitely be using her again!”

“For his first stay My pup Jax was a little shy going inside, his second stay he walked right in tail wagging. Laura and Charles are great, they have the perfect home and setup for your pup to feel comfortable We will continue to book with them. They are truly dog lovers”

“My little fella made himself right at home upon arrival to Mark's place. He snuggled into some blankets for a nice morning nap then got up to meet his new friends and hang out with them. He was very content, comfortable and had a good time!”

Valerie H.

“Arlene was such a blessing. She took our 10 month old puppy for a day. She is a ball of energy and Arlene was kind and patient with her. She was good at communicating and drop off/pick up was easy.”

Deena R.

“David was great with our pup Chase. He's usually very shy and slow to warm up to people. However he really took to David and Pinto super quickly. David shared pictures and videos of them playing and sleeping throughout the day. I would definitely recommend him for any dogsitting needs.”

“I am new to this city and have an overprotective dog who is adjusting to city life. Jamie took very good care of him and kept me informed to help reduce my anxiety. I definitely plan to leave Rocket with Jamie for more time in the future.”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for dogs and currently have a 6-year-old German Shepherd. In 2024 I had to say goodbye to my beloved pitbull mix, my soul dog Neji. With experience handling dogs of all ages (from 12 weeks to 13 years), I understand canine behavior, medication administration, and how to create a safe, loving, and joyful environment. I’ll care for your fur babies as if they were my own! I work part time and manage my own schedule. I spend a lot of time with my fur baby and I am very flexible to be with yours too! I enjoy spending quality time with my dogs, playing fetch, long walks, training and spoiling them with homemade treats. I also understand the struggle of cleaning and will always have your home spotless!

“Meli had a wonderful time with Tara and her family. I received pictures and an update of Meli during the day. She was accommodating and flexible with my schedule. Would definitely reccomend.”

About: I do take up to 3 clients at a time, so I can only accept dogs that get along well with other dogs. I am doing Rover full time. Which means more time to spend on walks, playing, exercising and affection time ! I won't be distracted with any electronic device, when outdoors with your dog. I don't smoke, drink or party. I grew up caring for a couple amazing dogs. I've taken care of my brother's, neighbors and friends dogs. I love being outdoors and being active, so if your dog has alot of energy, he'll be sleeping like a baby by the end of the day. I currently don't have any pets of my own. I'm looking forward to making memorable moments with your dog(s). I can take your dog on an hour long early morning walk/run near a park close to where I live, so we can also play ball, Frisbee or with a toy! Then I could take your dog to 1-3 additional walks throughout the day. I try to make the dog feel at home,by being calm and trying to understand his/her body language, quirks and personality. Giving them affection and playing with them, but also some alone time.

“Stacey was very generous and honest when my high energy dog came to her home. Unfortunately, my dog was not able to behave properly because he is a puppy and it led to some issues which she quickly made me aware. I was glad that she made me aware as quickly as she did because it allowed me to respond to the issue with speed and given the situation she was incredibly clear and understanding. Highly recommend!”

“Jessica took great care of our dog, Bebop, while he stayed with her for the day. She met with us first for a meet-and-greet and then sent updates and photos while he was with her. We will definitely be using Jessica again in the future!”

About: I have been a house and pet sitter since High School while working at a vet’s office and all throughout college and many years after. I love a good pet therapy session to keep stress levels down for me and the animal. I have two cats of my own and know how important it is for them to get interacted with throughout the day when we aren’t around, as well as when we have our own overnight commitments to attend. I would be honored to get to spend a little time with your fur baby when needed! I am a fun loving, easy going, and pet (and treat) giving cat mom who loves both cats and dogs! I can’t wait to meet all the incredibly adorable animals possible through this opportunity. I am quite the stimulating pet parent! My cats even knows some commands and tricks. We love some treat giving, toy searching, and you playing in my house! I work for Rover fulltime, so I am always here. I have enough space, and gates to keep 3-5 dogs at a time, if the family is comfortable with other friendly dogs being in the same house with them. I walk all separately unless they are from the same family or the dogs are really good friends. We take about 5-6 walks a day around the neighborhood ranging between 20-30 minutes depending on the weather of the season, and even have a deck with a piece of “grass” where older pets can use the restroom easily or if it is raining, for a quick potty break. We have water in every room of the house, we love to give treats, have crates and gates for alone time if needed, and there is always an opportunity to sunbathe in our house or on our deck.
