“Our pup loves going to Erica and Ricardo’s for daycare. She’s an anxious girl, but she gets so excited when we pull up and runs into the house as soon as we get there. She gets lots of playtime and love, and we get cute pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend them!”

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was little. My family used to live in a house and we had 3 cats and one big dog. When I was studing at uni, I got a dog. She is a beagle and she is 10 years old. She is living with my parents now. I know how to take care of pets because I'm experiences, attentive and patient person. I'm working from home as a tutor. I have plenty of free time and I'd like to use it wisely and spend more time outside I'm living in an apartment, there is a park nearby where I can take a dog out. If you have a cat, I have a lot of space in my flat where your cat feels welcomed and calm.
“Luciano and Luciene were amazing with our puppy, Bowie. My wife saw how excited Bowie was to see Luciene at drop off, and they treated our puppy as if she were their own. We highly recommend them if you are looking for a reliable, responsible dog sitter. A++++ we will definitely be reaching out to them the next time we need someone to look after our pup!”
“Our puppy had a great time with Diana! She was responsive and helped provide the daily exercise our dog needs. Had a lot of great feedback after day care and we appreciated her positivity! Would use her again.”
About: I am at home full time so I am available to always keep a close watch of your dog, take your dog outside a numerous of times. I have been sitting dogs for about 4 years now. I have experience breeding and raising chows (which is a very hard breed to raise especially for first time dog owners). There is a dog park right across the street from my home your dog would love. And around the perimeter of the dog park is a dog path. I normally walk the dogs around the dog path and then play fetch and some other games in the park. I have a gated backyard so they are allow to play back there as well. I am close to a Walgreens and across the street from a pet store so if they need anything I have easy access to that.

I am also experienced in caring for neighbors dogs of all ages and stages. My care is customized for the age and stage of your lovely dog. FOR INSURANCE REASONS, I CANNOT ACCEPT BULLY BREEDS. Thank you. I work from home part time and have plenty of time to care for your dogs. I also have wide availability 7 days per week.

River Forest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Louie had a fun visit to Michelle's house and was able to play with two other dogs. Her son was home and took them all for a walk and shared pictures. It was exactly what I was looking for, a great way for my dog to be social with others, in an open safe place. This was my first use of Rover, and I'm glad it was with Michelle.
As a nurse I work 12 hour shifts, and I had to work 5 days in a row. Needless to say I was depleted and stressed. It meant so much to me to know Haku was getting the attention and love he deserves. Every day when he came home, he had already pottied and was ready for bed! Samantha and her family are wonderful, I am so grateful
Hands down one of the best sitters EVER! My cuddle bug had been going to her previous sitter for about 5 months and was still trying to warm up to them. However, after a week with Jonelle, Gina was wiggling her butt ready to go. One day she just walked into Jonelle's house without turning back to say bye or to whine. She's truly amazing and makes sure your dogs are treated as part of her family. Her family is just as great about letting your dog have space and build up comfort to bond with them. If you want someone who has great communication, is compassionate, and loves on your dogs (to the point you might consider your dog a traitor) then Jonelle is absolutely the person for you. All around a great person and sitter.
I can’t say enough about Luci and Luciano! Both of my Frenchies love them and always gets excited when we pull up for drop off. I especially appreciate their professionalism with communication and individual care they give my girls. I am so grateful to have a reliable, dependable and caring family that I have no doubt will take good care of my girls. 💛💛💛. Thanks so much!!
Daisy absolutely loved her time with Marissa. I am extremely grateful for how communicative and thorough Marissa was with her time with Daisy. We did a daycare stay while we were having a large party and Marissa’s warm and kind energy gave us such ease about leaving Daisy with her. She gave Daisy two big walks and took lots of pictures. She understood the delicacies of introducing dogs to each other and made Daisy’s stay relaxing, fun, and stress free. I’m grateful for all the photos and the garmin map/route posts too. We will definitely be calling Marissa again!
