A Dog's Favorite Vacation Spot

Pet care experience

Welcome to Rob & Katie's River North Dog Care! We are here for your dog boarding, sitting, and walking needs. As both former dog owners, we would love to have them back in our spacious one-bedroom condo. Currently, we live in a dog-friendly building with a great dog park just up the street with both a large grass area and an enclosed asphalt play area. We are also centrally located in the city which means no matter where in Chicago you live, we are an easy commute. Rob works from home during the day while Katie works nearby at The Second City. Rob enjoys walking around the city...even in the Chiberia winter, which will guarantee your dog's daily exercise will be met no matter what time of year. And Katie enjoys a dog's company over most people company and will spend most of my time on the floor playing with the dog. We would truly love to have your pets spend their vacation here with us!

Rob is an awesome caregiver. He goes above and beyond to make sure any dog in his care is happy, healthy, and yes, a little spoiled. He loves to take long walks and cuddle with furry friends on the couch. Whatever activity your dog loves most, Rob will be more than happy to do it with them!

Rob and Katie are wonderful pet sitters! They are great with my cats and I trust them anytime I leave town. I just hope that they don't get so popular that they're too busy to watch Kitty Girl and Oscar!

Rob is superb with my dog as I am sure he is with every dog he cares for. He seems to understand my dog's needs and wants. But at the same time, Rob doesn't give them free reign. The dogs understand that they have to be as behaved as they are at home, or for some dogs, possibly better behaved. He uses positive reinforcement and it is amazing how well every dog reacts. And I've seen him with a few dogs aside from my own. He has a great place that is only minutes away from a dog park. Not all dogs are "dog park" dogs. So it is important to know that Rob will follow your wishes and is comfortable with your requests. Can't say enough good things about him.

Information Rob H. would like to know about your pet

Before we start taking care of your dog, we would like to get to know as much as we can about them as possible. We want this to be your dog's home away from home. Do they get along with other dogs? Are they high or low energy? What is their specific feeding and sleeping schedule? How often do they usually go out during the day? Do they have any special issues or restrictions?

A typical day

There will walks. There will be so many walks, each ranging between 20 minutes, up to an hour if needed. We've got many dog parks nearby where we can play fetch or run around together. But if your dog is more of the cozy type, there will be plenty of relaxation time as well. We're here to suit your pet's needs.
