Doggy Day Care Lower West Side

“Ashley and her daughter Marina are incredibly conscientious and caring. Every time I bring my dog to their place, he is excited to run up the stairs and be reunited with his extended family. He truly loves them, and I can see how much they love him as well. 10/10, would recommend Ashley’s services to anyone!”

“Gabriel was an excellent dog sitter for Walnut. He was attentive, patient, and very professional throughout the entire experience. He communicated clearly, provided updates, and always confirmed details, which gave me great peace of mind. Walnut seemed very happy and comfortable with him, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed spending time with Gabriel. I truly felt that Walnut was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Gabriel and would love for him to continue sitting for us in the future.”

“We were visiting Chicago for a graduation and left our young golden retriever with Jennifer and her family. They have a nice yard set up and there were other dogs there for her to play with. They sent a video each day, which we appreciated, as well. Thank you!”

I follow owners’ instructions closely for feeding, litter care, walks, and general routines to ensure pets feel secure and happy while in my care.

“Timothy is our puppy’s favorite sitter (and ours too!). It’s clear he really understands and empathizes with dogs of all ages and sizes. We’ve had multiple stays at Timothy’s place, and every time our dog comes home happy, well-cared for and occasionally having made new dog friends! We especially appreciate the way he handles our rambunctious labrador puppy- calm, kind, and confident. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in good hands. We’re grateful to have found him, highly recommend!”

About: Hi! My name is Judy and I have been pet sitting for several years and enjoy spending time with furry friends. I have a very friendly cat who is great with dogs (but I can keep them separated (if requested). I am a caretaker and have flexible hours, so I will be able to care, walk, and cuddle your pet as needed. My home will be a calm and relaxing space for your fur baby! I currently have open availability but please give me two days notice. Happy to visit your pet at your home or host them in mine. Two level home with a small outdoor space (fenced) for sun-bathing and fresh air. I do have a cat that enjoys cat or dog company, so I can keep pets together or separate them based on your pets openness. Harrison park is a short 6 minute walk ideal for daily strolls.

“She is AMAZING thanks a lot !”

About: I work from home and am eager for company on my daily walks around the block and park. I live with my partner, Mike, who also has grown up with dogs, and we’re looking forward to adopting our own one day. In the meantime, I would love to help you care for your dog and make them feel happy and at home with us. We are an active and outdoorsy couple especially in the summertime, and enjoy going for long walks in the neighborhood, parks, or by the lake. Nitya works from home during the week and goes for a couple walks throughout the day, so she would love to take your dog out as needed. Mike is home Friday-Sunday so we’d also love to spend time with your dog together on the weekends. We have a small two bedroom apartment, with an open living room and kitchen. Your dog could spend time with Nitya in the apartment during the work day. There’s a fenced backyard between our building and the garage/coach house in the back, so we can always pop down there at anytime during the day or night. Our building neighbors have indoor cats, and there are a few alley cats that pass through the backyard occasionally. For walking, we are just a few blocks away from Harrison Park, and a about a 20 minute walk to Dvorak park.

About: I grew up with family dogs and have had mine since he was 8 weeks old (he will be 17 years old this August!). Experience with puppies through senior dogs. Large breeds and small! Would love to take care of yours. I work full time from home, so I have ample amount of time to hang out with your pups (no matter the age, dogs are forever pups in my eyes!). I have an almost 17 year old pup who naps most of the day but is always excited for his walks! I live in a low traffic area and just down the street from a fenced grass area we play in. In case there’s rain, I have a covered area to take the pups out so they still get some fresh air.

“I have known Monica and Calvin for about 2 years now and they have been truly amazing, caring, kind, and professional to my dogs! I had a fluctuating schedule so had to keep communicating with them to make arrangements and I really appreciated their understanding and flexibility. Most importantly, they shared a report card at the end of the day with pictures and short summary and they were all very helpful. Thank you so much always!”

“Diamond is an amazing sitter! She truly cares for the dogs she looks after and keeps you at ease with regular updates. My Leo came back home so tired and happy-which says everything, and he honestly didn’t even want to leave her place! Her dogs are wonderful as well and got along perfectly with mine, which made the whole experience even better. Diamond is reliable, punctual, and clearly passionate about what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.”

About: I’ve taken care of or have had animals since I was a child. Currently I have a cat named Ida who is very sweet & affectionate. I just graduated with a Master’s of Social Work. Before beginning my career, I’m taking some down time and taking care of animals. This gives me the ability to prioritize your pets needs! My environment is animal friendly. I have a fenced in back yard and live near a park. I have a cat named Ida who is welcoming to new animals inside our home. I allow animals on my bed and furniture.
