Doggy Day Care South Lawndale

“Dayana was a great dogsitter to our puppy Honey. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day of Honey having fun and being taken on walks, and she was very nice and communicative. I will definitely be reaching back out for more dog sitting with Dayana!”

“We were visiting Chicago for a graduation and left our young golden retriever with Jennifer and her family. They have a nice yard set up and there were other dogs there for her to play with. They sent a video each day, which we appreciated, as well. Thank you!”

“Diamond is an amazing sitter! She truly cares for the dogs she looks after and keeps you at ease with regular updates. My Leo came back home so tired and happy-which says everything, and he honestly didn’t even want to leave her place! Her dogs are wonderful as well and got along perfectly with mine, which made the whole experience even better. Diamond is reliable, punctual, and clearly passionate about what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.”

About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years, so caring for animals has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have helped raise, train, exercise, and comfort dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I was also a cat owner for over a decade, which gave me experience with pets who have very different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. My family has been pet sitting for nearly 10 years, and I helped with a lot of that care over the years. Through that, I learned how important it is to be reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. Now that I am on my own, I am excited to start offering pet care myself and to provide pets with the same kind of safe, loving care I would want for my own animals. I am a teacher, but I am currently on summer break, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I have plenty of availability during the day, evenings, and weekends, while still being dependable and consistent with the care I provide. I am able to work around each pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. In my home, pets will have a safe, clean, and comfortable space to relax and feel cared for. I live in a large 3-bedroom apartment with secure doors that create natural barriers throughout the apartment, which makes it easy to separate spaces when needed or help a pet feel more comfortable. There are no other pets in the home, so your pet will receive my full attention without having to adjust to unfamiliar animals. One of the best parts of my home is the fully fenced-in backyard. There is plenty of space for dogs to run around, play, use the bathroom, or just stretch their legs safely. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, water, comfort, and supervision based on each pet’s normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow the owner’s instructions closely so the pet can stay on their usual schedule. I know how important consistency is, so I pay attention to feeding times, walks, medication instructions, favorite toys, comfort needs, and any house rules. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they are in my home or their own. Please note, I only sit pets from 1 household at a time - that way your pet(s) get all of my attention!

“Christian was great! Used him as a first time sitter and he had great calm and clear energy that let me know my dog would be in good hands. I’m really happy I chose to book with him.”

“Ashley and her daughter Marina are incredibly conscientious and caring. Every time I bring my dog to their place, he is excited to run up the stairs and be reunited with his extended family. He truly loves them, and I can see how much they love him as well. 10/10, would recommend Ashley’s services to anyone!”

“Ruben was fantastic with communication and care of our dogs. Thank you so much for caring for our babies as a part of your family and for the updates throughout the day. We will be rebooking for future use as the need arises. :)”

“Gabriel was an excellent dog sitter for Walnut. He was attentive, patient, and very professional throughout the entire experience. He communicated clearly, provided updates, and always confirmed details, which gave me great peace of mind. Walnut seemed very happy and comfortable with him, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed spending time with Gabriel. I truly felt that Walnut was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Gabriel and would love for him to continue sitting for us in the future.”

“I booked with Esmirna again, this time for doggy daycare, and as always, it was a great experience. Nadia truly enjoys her time there and is always happy and comfortable when she’s with Esmirna. She is professional, kind, and clearly cares about the animals she watches. I would definitely recommend Esmirna to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

About: Hi! My name is Monica and I recently graduated from Indiana University. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I was in college, I fostered through local animal shelters, which gave me experience caring for animals with all different personalities, ages, and needs. I’m also currently a volunteer at the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago, where I help care for animals and support the shelter. I work from home, so I’m able to give pets a lot of attention throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone for long. My dad is also recently retired and home most of the time, so there’s always someone around to give extra attention, playtime, and care. I have a small Yorkie named Tucker and a cat named Penny. They’re both very friendly and used to being around other animals. Tucker is great at matching other dogs’ energy (whether they want to play or relax), and Penny is very calm and tends to mind her own business. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away! I recently graduated from Indiana University and am now back home in Chicago full-time. My dad is retired and home all day, and I spend most of my time at home too, so your pet will always have company and attention. I’m not super busy and genuinely love being around animals — it’s the perfect setup! I have a private, fully fenced yard and never let pets outside without supervision. My home is spacious, and pets are welcome to relax anywhere they’d like. I also have a 2-year-old, 4.5-pound Yorkie who mostly keeps to himself but is always up for a little playtime if your pet wants a buddy! I’m happy to crate your dog at night if you prefer, or they’re welcome to sleep with me — I’d love that too!

“Gaby was great! Gaby has been walking my puppy for a few weeks now and she loves her! We thought we would try day care with Gaby and it was perfect for her. Gaby was very accommodating and able to keep my puppy a bit longer since I was delayed.”

“Timothy is our puppy’s favorite sitter (and ours too!). It’s clear he really understands and empathizes with dogs of all ages and sizes. We’ve had multiple stays at Timothy’s place, and every time our dog comes home happy, well-cared for and occasionally having made new dog friends! We especially appreciate the way he handles our rambunctious labrador puppy- calm, kind, and confident. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in good hands. We’re grateful to have found him, highly recommend!”

Eric F. R.

“She was FANTASTIC! I highly recommend, definitely coming back to her when we are back in town!”

“Yasmine was wonderful with my very energetic dog. Her own dog is well-behaved and serves as a great role model for other dogs. When my dog came home, he was happy, tired, and completely content, a clear sign that he had a fantastic time. She lives close to a large dog park where dogs can run, play, and burn off their energy while having the time of their lives. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with Yasmine and plan to do so regularly. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter and excellent company for their dog.”

“I have known Monica and Calvin for about 2 years now and they have been truly amazing, caring, kind, and professional to my dogs! I had a fluctuating schedule so had to keep communicating with them to make arrangements and I really appreciated their understanding and flexibility. Most importantly, they shared a report card at the end of the day with pictures and short summary and they were all very helpful. Thank you so much always!”

“Obrigada!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and genuinely love being around them. Most of my experience is with larger breeds, but I’ve also cared for small dogs and understand their different needs. Dogs tend to warm up to me quickly, and I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home most of the week, so your dog will have lots of company and care throughout the day. We'll take regular breaks for walks and playtime, and my big yard gives them plenty of space to run around and burn off energy. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. My home is a safe, welcoming space where dogs are treated like family. With a large, fully fenced yard and lots of supervision, I make sure every pup feels comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for.
