“Carla is the best! My dog has the best time with her & her family. Well cared for. Lots of play time. Carla is very mindful about following our dog's routine. Sends photos & videos throughout the stay with her. It's so comforting to find someone that cares for our dog so much.”

“Danielle is AWESOME!! Roxy had a great time with her and her dogs and kids are amazing! She sent me photos during the day and let me know how Roxy was doing. She takes her for nice walks and gets plenty of exercise and fun. I'm super happy with the care Roxy gets at her house. Thanks!”

“Thanit and her family did a fantastic job caring for our puppy Boots. We dropped her off for daycare on two consecutive days and Boots was sad to leave both days. We received lots of photos and videos of Boots having a great time indoors and out. She received so much love and attention. We highly recommend Thanit and will definitely rebook if we need daycare in the future. So pleased with our experience!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and love them so much! I have experience with puppies as well as our senior friends. Walks and playtime are my specialty! I work at home and am able to take great care of your pup. I have a yard and am close to a park for plenty of outside time. I can adjust to the routine your dog is used to. I am very flexible. I take one client at a time so my whole focus will be on your dog. Just let me know your needs.

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who recently relocated to the USA. While I love it here, I deeply miss the family dogs I had to leave back in my home country. Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I'm so excited to open my heart and home to your furry family member! What sets me apart is the personalized attention your dog will receive. I am currently home full-time, so caring for dogs is my main focus. My husband also works from home, which means there is almost always someone in the apartment, and your pup will rarely, if ever, be left alone. I live in a comfortable apartment with wonderful green spaces nearby for walks and outdoor time. I'm happy to adapt to your dog's unique personality and routine. If your pup loves to stay active, I'd be delighted to take them on walks or runs. If they prefer a slower pace, they're welcome to curl up on the couch with me for plenty of cuddles and relaxation. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved pet with someone else. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet your pup! I am home during the day, which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout your dog's stay. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I can easily follow your pup's established feeding, bathroom, exercise, and medication schedule. I take care of all daily walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My husband works from home full-time, so while I am your dog's primary caregiver, there is almost always someone else in the home as well. This means your dog will have plenty of companionship and will rarely, if ever, be left alone. With our flexible schedules, your pup can enjoy frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, and lots of affection throughout the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood in a ground-floor apartment, which is ideal for dogs since there are no steep stairs or elevator rides to navigate. We also have a securely gated balcony where your pup can safely enjoy some fresh air and watch the world go by. I keep my home dog-proofed, free of hazards, and calm so every guest feels comfortable and secure. While I am the one providing your dog's care, my husband works from home, so there is almost always someone in the home as well. During walks, I always keep dogs securely on a leash, stay aware of our surroundings, and prioritize their safety at all times. I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own.

“Rusty has a wonderful, gentle way with dogs. Mine is an anxious, large 8 month old puppy. She warmed up to him right away and ran around in the large gated backyard, along with going to walks. I will definitely book with Rusty again and recommend him to everyone.”

About: I grew up with a dog and loved him very much. He passed away, and the family has not yet gotten another, but I miss caring for a dog. I love all dogs and cats of any size and any animal, for that matter. I am incredibly attentive to animals and always love giving them care, even when they are not mine. I am almost always home and able to pet sit through the day and overnight. I am currently in college, but taking classes online, so I am constantly available to tend to your pet's needs. I am a very active person who can take your pet on walks or runs more than once each day if need be. If your pet enjoys resting, I will also do it with them as I complete work on my computer and will pay close attention to them or snuggle with them if it's what they like. I will care for each pet depending on their specific needs, whether they need to have walks, use the bathroom often, or receive personal care. My home is very safe for pets, as it was already set up for a dog in the past with carpeted stairs and a yard to play in. The yard has a fence around part of it, but it is still open, so if I take your pet outside to play, I will use a leash and keep them in the yard safely separated from any danger. The only other person living in the home will be my mother, who is also an animal lover, but is generally at work during weekdays.

“Trust her with my eyes closed ❤️ My doggy loves Antonina and happy every time he sees her. Amazing home and amazing service, watched and took care of him as if he was her own.”

“Natalia did a great job with Leo! I felt like he was in good hands. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day which I really appreciated. Thank you again Natalia! ❤️”

About: As a long time animal owner and lover, I'll always take care of your pet like they're my own. It's so important to me that you feel safe when you leave your fur baby in somebody else's care. I also have lots of experience with dog breeds with varying behavioral issues - from terrified chihuahuas to leash reactive german shepherds, horses, fish, and tons of lil guys inbetween. Whether it’s a drop in, walk, or overnight boarding, We’ll work together to make sure your pets needs are 110% met. 🫶🏻 I work from home on a decently flexible schedule so nobody is getting left alone for hours. We also have a gorgeous fenced-in backyard for roaming and play and are close to trails so dogs can go to the forest preserve with us if they'd like for extra nature time. 🌲 I currently work completely remote so my schedule is highly flexible and I’m happy to accommodate your needs or come keep some company for a while. During drop ins, I'm always happy to refill water bowls, feed, walk, play, cuddle, and whatever is needed to make sure your pet stays stimulated and has some trusted company while you're away.

“As a first-time dog daycare user, I was filled with worry, but Thea went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. I'm confident that it was a wonderful experience for my dog, Chester, as well. It's hard to put into words how touching the experience was. I am so grateful to Thea, and I have no doubt about her love for dogs. As long as she's available, I will continue to entrust her with Chester.”

Jennifer K.

“Danielle and Ryan were the best sitters for Wally. They sent tons of pictures, kept us updated, and gave Wally constant attention. Strongly recommend them!”

Jed S.

“So grateful for Morgan and her husband! They were fantastic! Taking care of two female Shibas is no small task, but they did an amazing job with my girls today. The photo updates while on their walks were so appreciated, and both drop-off and pick-up went smoothly. I’m so glad they got to experience the Shiba breed! Highly recommend—we’ll definitely be repeat clients.”

Rena Z.

“Kathleen was extremely accommodating. She was communicative and my pup was happy and tired. Can’t ask for much more! Would definitely recommend and book again in the future. :) Thanks Kathleen!”
