Welcome to Doggy DaveCare
Hi, I’m Dave. I enjoy spending time with my own dogs and we all love welcoming new dogs to join us. While in my care your dog's safety, comfort and happiness are my priorities. Nothing makes me happier than an owner telling me their dog came home exhausted. Or hearing about how excited their dog was to return. Please read the first hand comments from other satisfied owners who have entrusted me to care for their dogs. I take great pride in these and promise your dog will receive the same level of loving attention. I'm happy to discuss any details or put you in touch with some of my delighted customers. Even better, schedule a Meet & Greet where you can see where your dog will be staying. You'll also have a chance to meet my dogs and any number of guest dogs. You'll see for yourself what a great environment it is! My home is an excellent place for pups –– the living room is basically a dog den. Outside features a fenced in backyard. My neighborhood is very pet-friendly, so they get lots of socialization when we go on walks. As a pet sitter, I do everything I can to ensure that the dogs I look after receive the same level of care they are used to getting at home.

Ratings and reviews
Dave watched our puppy for the whole day, and he had a great time! Everything was easy to arrange, even though it was our first Rover experience. Dave was friendly, responsive, and took excellent care of him. Thank you so much, we would happily book again when we are in Chicago .
Dave has such an amazing setup for dogs! I felt totally comfortable leaving Cash with him all day. Cash loved playing in his yard with the other dogs, he kept dragging us on the leash to go back!
Dave was very flexible and communicative - would recommend!
Dave was great and helped us out in a pinch. Would use again.
Dave took care of our big boy for a weekend and we added pick up and drop off which was super helpful.
My dog had a great time and came back home very happy!

A typical day
When I care for your pet, they will be treated as if they are my own. I want them to be satisfied with their stay and excited to return for another visit! When we go on walks, we’ll mostly explore the Lincoln Park neighborhood and the DePaul campus, but we may head even further for longer walks. I also have a car, so we might make a trip to the Montrose Dog Beach if you’ll allow it. Recently, I started experimenting with making my own dog treats, and I’d love to offer some to your pooch with your approval. Playtime is always supervised, and I have some crates on hand for pups that prefer quiet time. Dog owners should book with me if they want their pooch to come home tired and content. I’m confident that your fur baby will have a blast playing with my pups and our other four-legged guests. I’ll provide you with text, picture, and video updates while you’re away and give you a verbal recap when you pick up your pet.

- What would I like to know about your dog? Everything! The more info, the better. Most importantly, I’d like to know about your pet’s regular routine because I never want to do anything that derails the processes you have set up at home. I provide personalized service by getting to know both the dogs and the owners and asking for details about their habits and personality.
