Doggy Day Care in North Chicago

“Julie was great! Her home is very dog friendly. She catered to Bitsy by letting her sleep on her lap. And, she sent adorable pictures throughout the day. Highly recommend!”

“We had the absolute pleasure of having our dog cared for by this amazing family, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. They welcomed our pup into their home like she was one of their own with lots of love, attention, and even some playful spoiling (just the right amount!). Communication was excellent throughout the stay. We received regular updates, pictures, and sweet messages that showed just how happy and comfortable she was. It was clear our dog was being treated not just like a pet, but like part of their family. The environment is clean, safe, and filled with good energy. Their genuine love for animals really shines through in everything they do. If you’re looking for a dog sitter who is trustworthy, kind, and truly goes above and beyond, look no further. We’re so grateful to have found them on such a short notice.”

“Monica was so great with Rose! So caring and flexible and responsive. Rose had the best time playing with Monica’s dog Beto and she will miss him very much. I will absolutely use Monica again if I come back to town to visit!”

“This was my first dog sitter and I couldn’t have been luckier. I was nervous but Miss Lorena took great care of my pup and sent pictures of him along the way. Scrappy got very comfortable in her home with her husband Alex as well. And she lives in a great neighborhood where Scrappy took many walks. Thank you again Miss Lorena it was great meeting you.”

“Thank you Dee for wonderful care you provided to Nikita while we were gone. I felt confident and calm that you would take great care of her! I would love to keep in touch and use your services in the future. I also highly recommend your services to others, especially to highly worrisome and demanding pet owners:)))”

“Deidre was fantastic! Will definitely use again when we’re in town next! At drop off, my dogs were comfortable with her right away and at pick up my dogs came home tired and happy! Thank you!”

“First of time using Rover services and I am extremely happy, thanks to Kristal who took such good care of my baby Luna. And for Lucy being such a sweetheart. Luna and I definitely look forward to the next visit!”

“Great sitter! Yessenia was very communicative, very friendly and accommodating. Large fenced yard is perfect for a day of fun with all the dogs!”

“I can't say enough wonderful things about Tessa and the dog daycare that she provides! She is very friendly, clearly a big dog lover, and is very attentive to my dog, Cypria's individual personality, needs, and preferences. Cypria always takes some time to warm up to new places and people, but has been very quickly warming up to Tessa. When Tessa first met Cypria, she even sat down on the floor so that Cypria would feel less intimidated and feel comfortable enough to approach her. I always feel completely at ease leaving my dog with Tessa knowing that she is so well cared for. Tessa also watched my family's Border Collie, Maia, who is incredibly energetic. Maia miraculously came home tired for once and very content after a day with lots of her favorite activity: fetch!”

About: Ask me how to get $20 off your first Rover booking with me! Hola- Hablo Español, también! Hello there! I am a dog cat and chicken mama myself and love to be around all animals. I have owned and babysat chickens, cats, and dogs since i was little. I am very patient and loving towards animals and would love to care for your fur baby as per your requests while you are away. I work at home full time so I am up early and will spend full days with your pet. Let me know of any special requests and I will be happy to fulfill them! Located in Gurnee IL. I work from home full time and have a highly social and playful dog. During the day your boarded babies will play with Bentley (my dog) and nap on the bed in my office to jazz and classical music. During my break I usually walk my dog midday or late afternoon. If your dog or cat is not boarded, after 11A I am free to pop over and check on your fur babies and spend some time with them. My dog and cats safety at home are a high priority, I keep my home clean and free of anything they might chew or choke on. As well as all chemicals and other hazards showed away in cabinets they are unable to open. For my anxious dog I keep classical music on throughout the house to create a peaceful environment. Your pooch will feel at ease in my home and will always be watched and cared for. I make sure to send plenty of pictures and videos to update you on their mood and how their day is going. Nothing better than getting reassurance that your fur baby is in the best hands!! In your home I will watch them the entire time while they are playing and eating to make sure they are okay and haven’t gotten into any trouble.

About: I am flexible in my schedule (I just am not sure if I filled out the app right so feel free to ask if you need something super specific). I’ve homed and cared for many animals in my life. I was always finding stray cats and dogs (even a ferret once) and taking them in as a kid, though it sometimes drove my parents crazy they grew to love them. Recently we fostered two puppies that went to good homes. I have two small dogs myself and I have a few friends that frequently ask and trust me to care for their pets when needed. I currently work part time from home, which gives me a lot of freedom and time to spend with pets and get outside to play when they need. I am very flexible in my schedule and routine so if you need something specific let me know and we can figure something out. I have a small gentle toddler and a friendly dog to keep your pet company, or I have ample space to keep them separate as needed. I treat other pets the same way I treat my own, as if they were my child. I’m very loving and protective. I understand how hard it can be leaving your fur baby with someone else. I am willing to meet before hand for coffee or at the dog park etc. to see if we are a good fit for long term care.

“She took great care of Messi for the holiday!”

About: Hi I'm Taylor! I have been around dogs my whole life! I live in a house with a huge fenced in yard. My puppies (Emmy, Bowser and Felix) and I are willing to bring love, attention, and play to your fur baby. We have several parks nearby that we walk to and play on a daily basis. I work from home during the weekday, so will be home throughout the day to care for your dog or cat. Your pet will be in good hands under my care. Emmy Bowser and Felix are very friendly and haven’t met a dog they don’t love. I also have a two year old daughter who loves dogs, but your dog must be good with young children. I work from home so I can easily let your dog out for potty breaks throughout the day and take them for walks on a break I have a fenced in yard and a crate if needed. My dogs sleep in the bed with me so that’s fine if that is what your dog is used to

“Wendy was very dear and took great care of Schatzi during the days while I visited nearby sites during my stay in the Bronx. I would never have been able go to Botanical Gardens and Zoo and museums without her help with my mini dachsie. Wendy has a mini dachsie and the two greeted each other very amicably on first meet. "We loved having her (Schatzi)."”

About: I have always been known for being a caring person, for my patience. As a teacher and a mother I'm really good taking care of others, and with experience with my own pets or others. After driving my husband and children I have time to spend with pets, during the day with walks and also with the company of my daughter. There is a very big garden where we can take walks and my daughter is always excited to play and enjoy the time with pets.

About: Having grown up with dogs and now being a single dog-mom, I understand how much you think of your fur baby while you're away. (Poop/pee status updates are so underrated 😄) Let me ease your worries! I trained my dog, Nala, from scratch and can work on some basic obedience training with your pup, if you'd like. Just like physical exercise, they love the mental stimulation, too! Whether your dog is very hyper or just wants to cuddle, we can accommodate that! Looking forward to meeting your dog's needs. Nala is a 9 yo medium-sized rescue. She loves to play and gets along with even the grouchiest friends because she understands their body language and does not force the interaction. She grew up around cats, too and really respects their space. I'm a full-time graduate student and have a flexible schedule for walks. I can accommodate weekly/regular bookings or spontaneous walks booked within 24 hrs, too. Always happy to share photos and regular updates as much as you like! Minimal (once upon arrival, once after our walk/day), medium (+2/day updates for overnight stays, maximum (hourly updates including activities and poop/pee updates).
