Hello my fellow dog lovers 🐾 My family and I have offered our rover services for 8+years on and off! We are an active duty family, so we understand last minute request and long visits. We do this to help our pet families feel comfortable enough to enjoy themselves away from their animals ☀️ We love getting four legged friends, we have our one dog; Bonnie. She’s about 2.5 years old, and a yellow Labradoodle. In our home, we make sure that our friends are comfortable, fed and loved. I have 4 young pup lovin kids, but mindful of pups my 8yr old son 6 & 4yr old daughters will treat and love the dogs like they’re, their own. We welcome you all to come meet us, and hope that you pick us for your four legged or three legged family members vacation spot. ***We would also like you to know, we host one - two dog families of up to two dogs a night/at a time, but we still have availability host up 2 dogs somedays for daycare as well during that time***

Schedule

I am home most everyday all day, seeing as I am a stay-at-home mom to four young children. We do this as a hobby because we love animals . School drop off and pick up is the most I’m really out during the week.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a un fenced yard for plenty of outside play but they can be attached to a lead for saftey and lounging but also an air conditioned house for the days it’s warmer out or an electric fireplace for when it’s cold.

Pets

A typical day

While your dog stays with me, we can go on plenty of walks in and around my neighborhood. But most of the time my backyard will do the trick.They will get tons of play time with other dogs and my children. They will get fed plenty (or as much as you request) and loved unconditionally.

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Rachel can host up to 2 pets per night
First and foremost, we request that all dogs are up to date with vaccines, and current with their flea/tick prevention. **Please be honest about this, it’s not fair for other dogs to suffer from your dishonesty** Just to keep everyone comfortable:) Also ; I would like to know how well your dog interacts with other dogs, and children. What makes them comfortable , where you usually have them sleeping. Their feeding schedule, just anything that will ease their anxiety without you. Also if you have any doubts about your dog interacting with my dog I can most definitely meet you for a play date before I look after your babe. We do prefer doing our meet and greets at our home off of weaver rd in Cicero. **If I’m boarding your dog; I would like to know where you prefer to have your pup sleep. Don’t want to start any habits that you wouldn’t prefer. If you rather them sleep in a crate we ask you bring crate with you ***
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.
