Pet care experience

Home away from Home Loves Included!

Hello, my name is Dayna I’m a mom to both the 2 legged and 4 legged varieties. My teen loves to help take care of our guests. We want your pet to get the real home and family feel when they are with us so like our own babies they will have the run of the house and are allowed on the furniture though we also offer crates if they like to sleep in them or have time to themselves. We do not allow table scraps or rawhide. I have a white GSP mix and three cats at home and have worked for animal shelters including adoption counselor and fostering for over 10 years and have had pets my entire life with experience from puppies to seniors with the extra care that goes with both. We are located a mile from downtown Glen Ellyn less than 5 minutes from 2 different parks including a fenced-in a dog park (ask me for details if you would like your pup to play at the dog park) I work with fur, scales, feathers, and hooves including stable/farm animals, everything from horses on down and offer basic grooming options: Bath, brush, trim, and nails for an additional fee We do check-ins (including photos) with you to let you know how your pet has been doing this can be done daily or less depending on how you would like. Our goal is that your pet receives the same love and care that they would from you and for you to feel comfortable knowing they will be loved and well taken care of while in our care. Drop off starts at 7 am and pick up up until 8 pm. Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella are required vaccinations. Please provide proof of current vaccinations and/or the contact information and authorization to speak to your vet if needed.

I needed someone on very short notice to let my dogs out for two days while I was out of town visiting grandkids and my husband was working. Dayna jumped in right away and was an absolute lifesaver! She was prompt both days, arriving right on time. What really stood out was how thoughtful and communicative she was—she sent adorable photos of my pups having a good time and sweet, reassuring text updates that kept me completely at ease. It was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous leaving my dogs with someone new, but she made the whole experience stress-free and positive. From our phone conversation prior to her visits it was clear how much she loves dogs and she treated mine with such care and attention. I came home feeling confident that they were happy and well looked after. Thank you so much, Dayna! You went above and beyond and made my first Rover experience fantastic. I will definitely be booking with you again!

Pets

A typical day

We enjoy walks long or short depending on what the dog likes going to dog parks if your dog has a license to a local dog park or you would like to obtain a visitor's pass. We also like to play with them whether fetch or tug of war or whichever games they enjoy or they just want to be a cuddle bug. When there are weather extremes such as high and/or low temps we visit Petsmart or other pet-friendly locations to let them stretch their legs.

Basic information I need includes: • Feeding instructions – how often and how much o Any food allergies o Type of bowl they need • Potty schedule for pups – Do they need an extra walk at night or in the middle of the day? • FYIs – o Likes/Dislikes ( such as car rides or if they don’t like to be handled a certain way ) o Warnings such as food aggression ( we feed separately but if there is food aggression we also keep bones or other edible type toys put away) • Medical – If they need medication the instructions to administer it.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
