Top rated Northbrook doggy day care sitters

“Our long time sitter is moving out of the area and we were so concerned that we would never find someone as comparable and we did. Lee and Niv are awesome, caring and we feel completely confident leaving our little Jack with rhem”


“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!”


“Lori and Will are fantastic! We are doing construction in our house and needed to give fearful Sadie a nice place to get away from the people and noise for one of the crazier days. Sadie had already been to Lori and Will's 3 times (meet and greet, a walk with their dog Winnie, and one time to meet another dog who they were boarding). Lori and Will gave us plenty of time to acclimate, and the Doggy Daycare was a success! We're planning on boarding Sadie for several days, and this turned out to be a terrific test run. Lori and Will are patient and kind, have a great home, and are very flexible. Plus, they are walking distance from us! We couldn't be happier.”


“Amy and Lamar were awesome taking great care of my energetic GSP. Lots of photos and communication kept me in the loop all day. I came home with a tired pup which is the best indicator of a fun day!!!”


About: Our family of 3 is ready to host your furry companion to play and have a good time with our 6 years old labradoodle. I’ve cared for dogs for the past 20 years, mainly to our own, friends and family. Now I have more time and can spend my time caring for people’s unconditional best friends. My goal is to meet new play friends for our own Bear. I don’t do cages nor restrictions in the house, I own a large property with plenty of space to play inside and outside. I have a flexible work schedule, I work from home and I am able to accommodate depending on customer needs. Weekends are for family time and furry friends, love to spend time outdoors. I have a 1/2 acres yard, great place for the dogs to play supervised. Inside the house, dogs are free to enjoy and play around. I don’t do cages unless customer requests.

“Andrea was such a great dog sitter, my dog would have been happy staying with her for a longer amount of time, and I had the peace of mind knowing he was in good hands with her.”


“Kazuhiro and Akemi were amazing with Bailey! They gave her lots of attention and sent us updates very often. They were very patient with her. We will definitely be sending Bailey to them again and again. Thank you Kazuhiro and Akemi!!”


“Mark and his wife took EXCELLENT care of Midge. We are so grateful to have them nearby for future care! They sent pics and complimented Midge’s demeanor and really seemed to enjoy having her around.”

“Janett took such good care of our dog. He didn't seem to want to leave her and come back home with me! She offered me the option of a meet and greet ahead of our booking and communicated clearly and confidently. I appreciate the extra care she gave to Cohen.”


“Suzy was so great! Ginger will be excited to see her again! She and her dog, Zoe, were super sweet. What a treat. Zoe is was so mild mannered even in the midst of my excited, sometimes high strung, doggy. Suzy took time to meet and talk with me before Ginger began her stay, which was great. I can tell she's not only responsible, but loves dogs as well. I'm so glad to have another dog sitter I can rely on when I need someone for a vacation or long outing.”


About: I have had 4 dogs , love dogs, taken care of small, medium and large dogs. Bruno at home is excellent with other dogs. Work from home, so we get regular walks, treats and play time. I love to take care of your pups like my own, very secured home, with fenced yard and gated community. We spoil our own dogs, we let them be on furniture and always supervise them. We always watch for their behaviors and make sure they are always having great time and rest. All pups will get to be the new prince(ess) of the house. we can do morning to afternoon, or overnights too. We allow your pet to sleep , play and be anywhere. Very spacious place, 3500 sq. ft. to be around. We love and spoiled our Bruno, we will adjust to your request on diet, eating and outing habits, we just like to make sure your pet is taken care of of the same way you do. We like to go to our second home in Galena, IL over the weekends, also very secured home with fenced yard. We always make sure that is approved when boarding over weekends, and that your pups can travel minimum 2 hours in car with Bruno.

“As a first-time dog daycare user, I was filled with worry, but Thea went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. I'm confident that it was a wonderful experience for my dog, Chester, as well. It's hard to put into words how touching the experience was. I am so grateful to Thea, and I have no doubt about her love for dogs. As long as she's available, I will continue to entrust her with Chester.”


About: I have had dogs and watched family and friends dogs since I was a kid. I used to volunteer at a dog shelter in the city, and raised a puppy until he found his forever home for around a year. I work locally and have flexibility to work from home as needed! I am at home all day Fridays and all weekend, and weeknights after 5pm. I have a fully fenced and gated in yard with lighting and will not let your pup out of my sight! I also have a camera at home for if I’m ever out of the house.


“We had a very positive meet and greet with Denis and Nikki and their children and Thunder, their dog, awhile back, immediately after which we booked our dog Bailey for an overnight stay that's still to come. But unexpectedly this week I needed daycare for Bailey and so I decided to book Denis and Nikki to see how things went for just a day's stay. I am very pleased to report that it seems to have gone very well. Bailey apparently had a calm and peaceful stay there and got along with everyone, enjoying the opportunity to wander around a nice yard (which she doesn't have at home). Denis and Nikki are very welcoming and responsive, and seem to really love dogs and enjoy looking after them. Their home is well prepared to host doggy guests, with a safety gate inside the front door and lots of places in the house for dogs to make themselves comfortable. I received pictures and a Rover report at the end of the day, listing walks and other notable things that took place, which was nice. I have never had that level of detail provided before with other sitters. I feel very confident about Bailey's upcoming overnight stay, and I'm sure we'll be booking with Denis and Nikki in the future. Thanks for taking good care of Bailey, D & N!”


“Teresa was amazing - Charlie came home so happy and sleepy from his fun day. She sent me pictures and kept me updated with how he was doing. We’ve already booked to use her again! Extremely easy to coordinate with, thanks so much!”

Growing up, our parents always looked after our family dog, teaching us the value of trusted, compassionate pet care. Today, as devoted pet lovers ourselves, we’re committed to offering nothing less than exceptional care for your beloved companion. We shared 14 amazing years with our beloved lab, and now we share our home with Boba, our lovable 40-pound pup who’s 11 years old.

Over the years, we’ve provided pet care through Rover and have also regularly helped out neighbors with their dogs—feeding, walking, playing, and giving lots of love.

Svetlana Z.

“Svetlana is my wife. We just recently lost our beloved dog, a friend of 14 years. She loved him dearly, cared for him until his last minute... She decided to become a dog sitter as she misses having a dog and do not want her love for dogs to be "wasted". When we walk in our "very doggy" neighborhood, she can't skip any of the dogs, she needs to pat them and talk to them. Our daughter is already working as a dog sitter and loves it. I am happy Svetlana decided to do it too as she will be a perfect candidate for this type of work.”
