Doggy Day Care Lincoln Park

“Isabel was wonderful with Piper! She was incredibly responsive and communicative, sent us lots of photos throughout the weekend, and was so flexible and easy to work with. Most importantly, we could tell Piper was treated with so much love and care. Isabel’s Bernese Mountain Dog was super friendly, and the two dogs got along great! We felt completely comfortable having Piper in her care and would absolutely love to use Isabel’s dog-sitting services again. Highly recommend!”

“Nathan watched our dogs on three separate days while visiting the Chicago area and we couldn’t have found a better fit for our two dogs! We really appreciate the time you spent with them on their walks and looking after them. Thank you so much Nathan! We had such a great time and if we’re ever back in the city we will definitely get a hold of you.”

“Muesli had a fantastic doggy daycare stay! Highly recommend!”

“We used Sani and her husband through Rover for our puppy Tilly and couldn’t be happier. We had them watch Tilly over Lollapalooza weekend, and they were so flexible with our drop off and pick up times, which took a lot of stress off an already hectic weekend. They also sent us tons of pictures and updates throughout, which we loved getting. Tilly always was always excited to get dropped off with always made us feel better dropping her off. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

“I am a basketcase dog mom and took my rambunctious 9 month old Buddy to Dave for daycare to help him get used to being away from us before a trip at the end of the month. Almost immediately after I requested the service Dave reached out to me for a meet and greet which was awesome. I ended up taking him yesterday for his first daycare visit and maybe Dave could sense my nervous energy because I hadn’t even gotten 2 minutes from Dave’s home before he sent me a video of my pup playing and running around with the other dogs! It just made me feel so at ease. When we picked him up he was happy, tongue hanging out of his mouth, and exhausted from a day of walks and playtime. He didn’t want to leave. Thank you Dave!”

About: I owned a pet sitting company in St. Louis, so I have vast experience with dogs and cats (and a few chinchillas along the way). I've administered medications and am particularly loving with our senior friends. I will give your babies the utmost care and consideration, with communication to you top priority. I have a senior dog in the house. His sight isn't the greatest these days, so it would be great for him to have a buddy to walk with! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible for your furry loved one! I do not have a yard, but I have a large condo so plenty of space to be free and roam. Cats in particular love the open floor plan and window perches.

“Megan was so sweet and easy to communicate with! She helped me out with a last minute booking and Poppy felt immediately comfortable with her!”

Sarah D.

“Mady is absolutely great! Theo loves Mady and makes us feel so much more comfortable to leave him with her while we are at work rather than at a busy dog place where they don’t really watch her. Theo is a puppy and has had some tummy problems and Mady was a champ helping him out during the day! Huge thanks to Mady and would highly recommend! - Anna”

“Grace took amazing care of my Sunnie girl!! Can’t wait to use her again!”

Caroline R.

“Madeleine was really communicative and easy to work with! She took Freddie on several long walks and made the drop off and pick up really easy. I felt totally comfortable”

Sean D.

“I found Rebecca last minute on Rover and truly couldn’t have had a better experience. She was so kind and communicative even before we met, and was willing to care for Luna with little notice. From the moment I dropped her off, she kept me updated throughout the day with the cutest pictures, which meant so much. I was pretty anxious leaving Luna with someone new, but Rebecca completely put my mind at ease. I knew Luna was in excellent hands the entire time. Highly recommend 🤍”

“Brad is great - my dog is nervous around everyone yet she acts like she’s known him her whole life. I particularly like that he sends pics of the two of them lounging together!”

Megan M.

“Once again, Jiyeon exceeded all expectations! She provided exceptional care for my pup during his stay. Professional, reliable, and fantastic with dogs. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Shanjali, a Chicago-based business owner with pets of my own back home so I know what it’s like to worry about them while you’re away, and I treat every pet I sit for with that same care. I have references here in Chicago who can speak to my reliability, and I’m someone who shows up exactly when I say I will. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box care, medication, and playtime. I’ll send photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I run my own business here in Chicago, so managing details and keeping commitments is second nature to me. Your pet in good hands. I’ve spent years caring for cats beyond my own household I’ve coordinated spay/neuter for numerous stray cats in my neighborhood and have brought sick or injured strays to the vet for treatment. This hands-on experience means I’m comfortable handling pets who are scared, sick, or slow to trust a new person, and I know how to spot when something’s off health-wise and needs attention. Whether your pet is a cuddly lap pet or a shy one who needs space, I’ll give them the patience and care they deserve.

“John & Ryan took wonderful care of my dog Newton! They sent a cute photo update and were very flexible with pick up and drop off times. Would highly recommend!”

Ashley R.

“John provided such a great daycare for our dog Moose. Moose got to play with John’s adorable dog, go on walks and get out his energy and we got to enjoy pics from John! He was also super communicative and accommodated our rather challenging drop off schedule (it was early!) John will absolutely be my first call the next time we need daycare!”

Mallika M.

“I was hesitant about finding a babysitter (yes I said babysitter) but I’m glad I found Lawrence. He takes such good care of my miracle that she gets excited and doesn’t think twice about leaving me, which she’s usually stuck to my side. I receive pictures of their day together and it eases my mind when I’m at work. 5 stars!”

About: I grew up with a Bernese Mountain Dog and have watched/walked countless dogs throughout my 24yrs of life. From energetic to mellow, introverted to extroverted, and aggressive to gentle. I have always been able to breakthrough and bring out the sweethearts they are! I have experience working with mistreated Pit Bulls during my time in college. On top of that, I spent a summer volunteering in a dog van bathing service. Plain and simple, I have spent a lot of time with dogs! I truly love them and think they are all wonderful with the proper care and affection! Pet care is my primary focus as of now. Willing and able to work whenever possible! I recently graduated from Colorado State and will be attending Northwestern for my masters in the fall. Until then, I will be dog walking/sitting. I look forward to working with you all! I have a spacious three floor apartment with one roommate, who is also a huge dog lover and well experienced with dogs. We have an outdoor fenced in patio that is suitable for all dogs. We also have no other animals in the house. We are smoke free and all house plants are animal friendly. In terms of care, I first assure the dog feels safe and comfortable. Time is needed in order to let them become so. Secondly, I make sure simple needs are met: water, food, bathroom. It is all about being aware and open to a dog’s subtle gestures. The right environment is crucial to set the tone and mood of the dog! In my care, I hope to make every dog feel safe and loved!

“April was wonderful. She made this experience super easy and convenient. She was flexible with my drop-off and pick-up times and sent photos throughout the day.”

About: I have had cats for most of my life, and I have a cat at home now. I know how to take care of cats and understand their daily needs. After many years with cats, I can often tell how they are feeling by their meows and body language. I also love dogs and enjoy spending time with them. Every pet is different, so I will follow your instructions carefully and take care of your pet with love, patience, and respect. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you are away. I am a retired mom and have plenty of time and patience to take care of your pets! I enjoy taking a walk in our neighborhood and know the area very well. I have been a cat owner for decades and always pay attention to what their body language suggests. Safety of the pets is my first priority!
