Doggy Day Care in Rosecrans

“Kim was absolutely phenomenal with Steeler! She helped me out last minute and you and tell how much she treats and cares for your furry as if they were hers. She is so kind, caring, and wonderful!”

“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.”

“Wonderful with my boy! Accomodating and I loved receiving photos and updates during the day. My pup is now happily snoozing away his exciting fun day! Very pleased! Will use again!”

Melissa R.

“My dog was SO happy when he realized he was going back to Lorena’s. So relieved to have someone I can trust with my baby! Highly recommend.”

Lisa H.

“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:)))”

“Tommy and Julie are so good with my dog Frank! He loves seeing them! They communicate well and take such good care of all the dogs they have.”

Amie W.

“This was our first visit with Lucy and we were very happy with the care our dog received. She has a kind and gentle demeanor that makes our dog feel at home. Her partially fenced yard offers the perfect area for our pup to run off excess energy. We will definitely use Lucy’s services again.”

Christy S.

“We had a great experience with Chisato! She sent us many pictures and videos through the day, and we could see Charlotte was being well taken care of and loved! 🥰 we will definitely be using Chisato in the future!”

About: Hi! I'm a proud dog mom of 14 years and currently share my home with our sweet senior pug, Pucca. I usually sub in schools but when I have pets on Rover, I stay home to take care of them. And my family has lots of time and love to give! We have two kind, animal-loving kids who enjoy helping out and making our furry guests feel right at home. We know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet—especially if they need a little extra attention. I'm very comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs with special needs. Our home is calm, clean, and full of gentle affection, making it a perfect place for your pup to feel safe and cared for while you're away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just a cozy nap spot, your pet will be treated like part of the family here. We can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Let us know how we can help—we’re here to provide peace of mind and excellent care. My husband and I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Whether it's boarding, daycare, walks, or drop-in visits, we’re able to give your pet consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. Our daily routine includes morning and evening walks, regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of snuggles. We’re also available for medication schedules or special routines your pet may need. With both of us around—and two gentle, animal-loving kids—your pet will always have someone nearby to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, we offer a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel part of the family. Our own dog is very mellow and used to being around other pets, and our two children have been raised to treat animals with kindness and respect. I closely supervise all interactions and follow any routines or special care instructions you provide. I’m experienced with giving medications and caring for senior or special-needs dogs, and I always make sure pets have a quiet place to rest when they need it. If I’m in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I give my own. I know how important consistency is, so I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine and environment to help them feel secure and happy while you’re away. Building trust with you—and your pet—is at the heart of what I do. I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and dependable experience every time.

“Kim was great with our dog Penny! She sent us pics and asked questions as needed. We would highly recommend Kim!”

“Ellie had a great time! We were very nervous for our first time but Francine made it an easy and trusting experience. Definitely will book again!”

“Ashley and her family are amazing. She keeps me informed with how the day is going and is very welcoming. She is so flexible and willing to follow your dog’s schedule. She sends pictures daily which is awesome to see. When I drop Willis off at her house, he is so excited when she opens the door and loves to see her. I am so glad we found her and will continue to use her as long as we need puppy care. Thanks for everything you have done and are doing!!!! <3”

“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!”

Madeleine N.

“Kim was fantastic! Bijoux was well cared for and had so much fun in her backyard! We will definitely use Kim again.”

Marcia S.

“I can’t say enough nice things about Arelys from helping us out last minute with an elder dog who has never been anywhere but home. Then throw in an 8 month rescue puppy who is massive energy. She made us feel comfortable, kept us updated and even fixed the mess up in our booking. Again never having boarded any of our dogs this was all new territory. I would definitely have her watch our doggies with a little more notice next time!!!”

Lisa G.

“Thanit and her family did a fantastic job caring for our puppy Boots. We dropped her off for daycare on two consecutive days and Boots was sad to leave both days. We received lots of photos and videos of Boots having a great time indoors and out. She received so much love and attention. We highly recommend Thanit and will definitely rebook if we need daycare in the future. So pleased with our experience!”

Elizabeth G.

“Ember enjoyed her stay with Lisa! She was well taken care of and came home worn out from all the fun she had. Lisa sent photos and communicated updates throughout the day. We will be sending Ember back soon!!”

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: Welcome to my page! I’m a recent graduate of the sciences that holds a deep passion for animals. When I’m not working my full time job during the week, I love to pass my extra time with as many adorable pets as possible. I currently own a husky, two cats, and a rabbit, but I’ve had experience with many other animals as well, and am always up for the challenge of learning more about animal care. I know leaving pets behind with a stranger can be scary, but I promise I’ll do my best to provide the same level of love and care that they would normally receive. I currently work full time, so pet care is more of a hobby at this point than anything else. For that reason I’m mainly available on weekends with the occasional holiday as well. Just reach out to see if your needs can be met with my schedule. I currently have a small portion of my yard that is fenced in, so dogs can be let out without leash when possible. I also have dog crates to crate pets when necessary to keep them out of trouble during the day, but I will only do that if necessary and if the pet is crate trained. Otherwise I make sure to keep pets in an area where they can’t access anything that would harm them. When in other’s houses, I follow their guidelines to keep pets as safe as possible.

About: I got my first dog (fox terrier) at 10 and was primarily responsible for his needs until I went to college. He lived to be 11 and I loved those 10 years with him so much. During high school and college until COVID started, I pet sit several dogs and a few cats. Then I adopted a retired racing greyhound when COVID started and adopted a rescue great dane in fall 2023. I would describe myself as consistent, adaptable, respectful, confident, observant, and caring. I am very understanding to the fact that every dog has different needs and that every owner has their own rules/training styles. I am an experienced dog handler. When I adopted the rescue great dane, he was completely untrained with very dangerous and challenging behaviors. I worked with 3 different trainers, took him to a group obedience class, and researched as much as I could to train him to be the good dog I knew he could be. After almost a year of rigorous training, he has been able to become an amazing well behaved dog. I am completely open to taking care of any breed, size, age, and personality. I will not shy away from or turn down taking care of the "difficult" dogs, or puppies, or senior dogs with many medical requirements. All dogs are great and deserve great care while their human is away! Last Updated: 7/9/2025 ***I live in a neighborhood off of Route 45 and Sterns School*** WALKS AND DROP-INS - Reoccurring bookings: Mon-Wed/Fri-Sun 11:30 a.m.-7:00 p.m.; Thu 1:00-7:00 p.m. - One-time bookings: Can be outside of the above times if needed, but confirm with me first. ***A DISCOUNTED WALK RATE IS AVAILABLE DURING ALL BOARDING, HOUSE SITTING, AND DAYCARE BOOKINGS*** - 30 min walk per day = $10 (usually $20) - 15 min walk per day = $5 HOUSE SITTING: I am available to stay with your pet in your home any night and day of the week almost 24/7. I have a few re-occurring weekly dog walks so I would need to be gone for a few hours midday usually. BOARDING: Your dog can stay overnight at my house any day of the week, provided that they are a small breed, well-behaved, and okay with large dogs.* DAYCARE: Your dog can stay at my house any day of the week provided that they are a small breed, well-behaved, and okay with large dogs.* - Re-occurring bookings: preferred drop off is 9 a.m. or later, pick up anytime is fine - One-time bookings: drop off can be earlier than 9 a.m. if needed, just confirm with me first, pick up anytime is fine --- *My greyhound is 9 y.o., 70 lb. and my great dane is 4 y.o., 140 lb. My great dane LOVES small, well-behaved dogs, but still struggles a bit with medium/large dogs. I am working to resolve this and will be able to accommodate those sizes for boarding/daycare in the future! ^If I house sit for you and you have a medium/large dog that cannot be left alone or does not like other dogs, I can still bring them to my house and crate my dogs in the other room! I will always uphold any rules/training style you have for me and your dog no matter what service I am providing. I am receptive to feedback and will always keep you informed about how my time is going with your dog and will always ask questions in order to take the best care of your dog. HOUSE SITTING: I am okay with multidog homes. I will leave your house the way you had it when you leave and I can get your mail/packages/put your trash cans out and back in as well. I can take care of other animals you have as well while you are gone. BOARDING/DAYCARE: Safety and peace of mind is of utmost importance for me. Since I have 2 large dogs already, I can only take one dog at a time. (Caveats: If an emergency, I could take a second dog; if you have two well-behaved small dogs, that might be okay too - just ask me). The greyhound is very chill and is great with any well-behaved dog. The great dane is fine with well-behaved small dogs. I will always take it slow on leash when introducing the dogs to each other and then they will always be supervised when together. Only other pets I have are fish. I have no kids. I keep the house very clean and doors to rooms/bathrooms closed so no way of getting in to things they shouldn't! I have a decently sized fenced backyard. There is a few feet of the fence that is higher off the ground so if I can keep small dogs on leash when they go out. I can also take them out by themself if necessary. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a basement so plenty of room in case the dogs need a break from each other or need to play separately from each other. Additionally, the great dane is extremely well crate trained and has an upstairs and downstairs crate that can be utilized. If I had to leave for some reason while your dog is staying at my house (which I rarely do, all dogs would be separated (by crate or being in a different room). You can bring their crate and/or I have an extra crate as well. All dogs can sleep in the bedroom but not on the bed!
