Doggy Day Care In Normal Heights

“Andre was great. He was very flexible and happy to work with my schedule and my 2 older dogs and their quirky needs . Penny is blind and he happily made any necessary accommodations for walks and going potty. Bonus lived his best vacation days ever, with multiple walks a day. Thank you”

“My dog and I met with Shane and Chris for a meet-and-greet before I booked them for a day. They were so nice and genuine during both the initial visit and the day-of daycare that i was put immediately at ease for leaving them with my senior dog. I got to see their backyard (so spacious!), and I knew that Ghibli would love sunbathing there and be his lazy self. I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again.”

About: I grew up on a rescue farm, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and I’ve truly never met one I didn’t adore. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own! I have experience fostering and dog-sitting pups of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m also comfortable working with dogs who have medical needs or unique personalities, whether they’re high-energy, shy, reactive, or a little anxious in new settings. I am a dog person to my core and have loved them all! I work from home Monday - Friday, so my situation is ideal for boarding and daycare as well as shorter overnights. I enjoy being outdoors as much as I enjoy a night in, so I can be flexible depending on each dog's needs. I live in a walkable neighborhood where I only need to be away from home for short periods of time to go grocery shopping or to hit the gym. I have always had a dog (though I am currently dog-free, unfortunately), so I am naturally attuned to their schedules and needs. I live in a very dog-friendly complex in a very residential neighborhood. I have lots of experience with controlled walks, crate training, and general dog safety, including emergency care and safe/proper introductions with other dog-friendly dogs. I live alone in a very calm, peaceful environment, and am conscientious of respecting a dog's space and know the importance of maintaining a semi-normal schedule while they're in a new/unfamiliar environment.

About: Hi, I'm Nic! I've been taking care of dogs ever since we adopted our first family dog Auggie over 20 years ago. He and other dogs I've watched had aggression issues so I know how to stay out of trouble. I'm strong enough to handle multiple medium-to-large dogs at a time and fit enough to take them on long walks or runs. I helped out my mom a lot last year with our second family dog Yogi who struggled with incontinence, mobility, and pain. I still miss him but realized after watching my friend's elderly dogs that I'm ready to connect with some more great animals! I work full-time but I'm remote and not overworked so I have flexibility in terms of schedule. I'm generally available to do walks/check-ins around noon or in the evening and can also have animals stay with me in my apartment during the day or overnight. I have an apartment on the second floor of a small complex and there is no elevator so I likely cannot accommodate larger dogs with mobility issues. My complex and apartment are pretty quiet and theres is a park with two dog runs only two blocks away. On weekdays I only leave the apartment for about two hours so I can keep a close eye on any dogs that need extra supervision. I'm very respectful of other people's homes and know that many animals will need time to warm up to me. I try to give animals as much space as they need but also keep an eye out for when they're in need of some stimulation.

About: Hi! I’m Chelsea — a lifelong dog lover and dedicated pet mom based in San Diego. I grew up with a German Shepherd and have always loved dogs. Over eight years ago, I brought home my 100lb Bernedoodle who is truly my baby and best friend. I completely understand how special these pups are and how important it is to trust someone to care for them like family. I’m very experienced handling large breeds, reading dog body language, and making sure pets feel safe and happy while their people are away. Whether it’s a long walk, an energetic play session, or a calm cuddle, I adjust to your dog's needs and routine. I know every dog has their own personality and I’m patient, kind, and reliable. I also have years of professional experience in operations and guest service, so you can count on great communication and dependable care. I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you know your furry friend is happy and in good hands. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your pup! Caring for pets is something that naturally fits into my daily routine because I already plan my day around my own dog! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize dog walks, playtime, feeding, and any special needs your pup might have. I tailor my care to your dog’s needs! In my home, I provide a safe, loving environment with walks, play, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to meet up prior to make sure our pups get along. In your home, I carefully follow your instructions to keep your dog’s routine consistent and stress-free. My goal is always to make your pup feel happy, safe, and loved.

“Really appreciated the last minute booking. I loved to see details of my dog’s day and see cute photos of him together with their dogs! Shaiann and Norman were friendly, great communication throughout, and our dog was so comfortable with them from the start. That was really nice to see! I’ll definitely be booking again.”

“I’m so glad that I found Lucy to take care of my pup. The attentiveness and care is exactly what I’ve be been for in a sitter and walker. She even took care of an emergency ER visit while I was away on vacation. Would highly recommend Lucy for any type of dog care!”

Leah J.

“Jack is amazing! will definitely reach out when I need a sitter again. he took very good care of my boy and gave him all the love and attention he deserved.”

About: I’ve had a dog in my home since I was 3. I’ve taken care of pups at all ages and all stages, I will love yours like I love mine. I believe they all deserve the best in life! I work from home so with them all day and close to a park for plenty of walks and outside time. I also have a dog who loves having guests and friends visit! I have a fairly spacious apartment and allow dogs to be on furniture and sleep with me and my pup. If you prefer crate I can accolade that as well!

“Mihaela is a very nice person and super awesome with Rollie. She provided Rollie with lots of playtime, games, walks, and belly rubs. I got many updates and I could tell Rollie enjoyed her stay with Mihaela and didn’t want to leave! Will definitely be a repeated client.”

“Pamela was amazing with Bella! Very communicative and we felt very comfortable leaving Bella with her. Will recommend to anyone in need of daycare for their pup.”

“Our first time using Rover for our Sheepadoodle. Sam made Harry feel at home and was very kind. He sent us a few pictures and updates. Will definitely book with him again ?”

Alexandra S.

“I am so grateful to have found Michelle & Bella 🐾. They took great care of my puppy & Michelle eased my 1st time day care anxieties. I booked a 2nd day before the 1st was even over!”

Carrie B.

“It’s been a while since I’ve used Rover to have my pup watched, and I’m so glad to have had Ziting watching him! She responded extremely fast, and I was so relieved she said yes—considering it was a less than 24hr sitting request. I received pics and vids from the daycare stay, and he looked so welcomed & happy. I’m sure Saint had a blast with her and Zuzu since he is now napping. Super professional, and I already had a feeling she’d be amazing at drop off! She was extremely flexible, and I can’t thank her enough. 10/10 sitter. Highly recommend! I would definitely book again.”

Alana M.

“Danielle was such a blessing for us! We needed a sitter for our sweet girl Daisy last minute and Danielle happily helped out. She kept me posted and sent pictures the entire time, was very attentive and loving with our girl and overall very communicative though out her visit. If you need a dog loving sitter who truly will care for your fur baby Danielle is the perfect fit! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone who needs a great sitter!”

Melissa G.

“Dusty had an AMAZING time with Stefani! During his drop of it was clear that he was right at ease with her immediately and shortly after I left he was already snuggled up for a morning nap! I’m incredibly appreciative that they went for a fun filled romp at the dog beach, so he got to run and exercise and play. Stefani sent photos and updates which helped ease my mind that my pup was in great hands and not missing me a bit! Stefani was flexible and helpful and I’m quite sure Dusty wanted to stay even longer than his one day visit! We’d love to return again 🥰”

“Jacob was wonderful with my little old man! Maxwell has severe separation anxiety, and he was taken care of so well today. I definitely recommend Jacob.”
