Top rated Uptown doggy day care sitters

“Laura was amazing! She took such good care of Elijah and sent photos throughout the day. Eli warmed up to her immediately and made a new friend. It was such a relief to know that he was in good hands! 💜”


“OMG - Brad was wonderful! He took her for a walk, sent pictures, dealt with her “I’m in charge” attitude, and actually got her to chill. Doesn’t happen often in the presence of strangers. I definitely plan on adking him again!”


“Michelle is great! She was able to take Kaia last minute. This is the second time Kaia stays with her and she loves her, she always comes very happy from her day sitting. Kaia had a little accident where she hurt her nail playing (nothing serious). And Michelle texted us ASAP to let us know what happened and sent pictures showing Kaia was ok and took care of her, which we appreciate a lot.”


“Victoria was great with my dog Jack. She is very knowledgeable about dogs with lots of training experience. Jack is new to the neighborhood and requires special handling. Victoria was awesome with him.”


“They took an amazing care of my lovely London on a last minute, they were always responsive and gently, also sent pictures because I was missing my dog so much 1000 stars for them! Will have in mind for a next service for sure!! And recommend 100%”


“He came in very clutch for our last minute day care booking and it couldn't have gone better. Great communication and took great care of our boy. We will absolutely use him again!”



“Our dog had a wonderful time at Megan's. She sent us photos while we we were gone which made us feel so much better. Would use Megan again when we come back to visit Savannah again.”


“Valentina took excellent care of my brand new 9 week pup, it was very last minute due to a funeral. Valentina was very prompt with her responses to my texts, and sent photos and video. She also made sure to give my pup her medication properly. Will definitely be using her again!”


“Catherine and Johnny are like your dogs' favorite aunt and uncle. They were so welcoming to my pups and my pups were comfortable enough with them the first hour they arrived they had already settled in their favorite spot on their couch. They also addressed my concerns to work with my leash reactive dogs which is tough to find someone willing to work with that behavior especially if one dog is 80 pounds. Catherine and Johnny treated my dogs as if they were their own and it shows in my dogs' excitement when they see them. Definitely recommend these Rover sitters!!”


“First time we asked Melissa to dogsit Fred and she was amazing! She was the sweetest. 😍 She gave our Fred a welcome kiss right away. She took really good care of our fur baby. Our Fred really felt comfortable with her, loved playing with Gala (their dog) and also felt comfortable staying at their place. We picked up a happy Fred. We will definitely do business with Melissa again. I highly recommend her!! 👍🏻👍🏻”


About: truly love animals — it’s my passion! 🐾 I live alone in a quiet apartment with my sweet hedgehog 🦔, and I’ve cared for both dogs 🐶 and cats 🐱 with lots of love and attention. Every pet I care for is treated like family 🏡, with patience, cuddles 🤗, and lots of care 💛. Whether it’s playtime 🎾, a peaceful nap 💤, or following a specific routine 📝, I always focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and at home. Pet care isn’t just a job for me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and feel proud to offer 🌟. Since I study online, my schedule is pretty flexible—so your pet gets lots of love and attention! I love staying active by biking 🚴♀️, but I’m just as happy chilling at home, making sure every furry friend feels cozy and cared for. I’m all about creating a calm, fun space where tails wag and purrs happen daily! I provide a calm and loving environment in my home where pets can feel safe and comfortable. Since I live alone in a quiet apartment, your furry friend will have my full attention and plenty of space to relax and play. I follow all care instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, medications, or special routines—to make sure your pet’s needs are met. I spend time playing, cuddling, and going on walks, always paying close attention to their mood and energy. If I’m caring for pets at your home, I treat your space and pet with the same love and respect as I do in my own home, keeping routines consistent to help them feel secure.

“We will forever trust Erick with our sweet olive. He always helps us out on short notice, and he’s always so flexible with us on time. Erick is always so nice to send us pictures of olive and reassure us that she’s doing well! We love Erick, and our dog Olive also loves him!”


“I was so impressed by Sid’s professionalism and communication. During our initial video call he gave me the run down of what a typical day looks like and asked many thoughtful questions that gave me reassurance in leaving my puppy. He has three chihuahuas himself and happens to be a dog trainer which added to my confidence in my tiny chihuahua having a safe place to socialize. He introduced them strategically and expressed that he would separate them from Yoko if I felt more comfortable or Yoko was showing any signs of distress from the interactions. Yoko LOVED it and had the best time!! Sid is an expert communicator and sent so many photos, updates, and VIDEOS which I didn’t even know you could get those on here. On the report card he also included precise times for walks, meals, and potty breaks which was also something that set him apart from other experiences and is helpful information as a puppy mom. Yoko wasn’t here for formal dog training so I didn’t expect anything extensive like that but it was nice to know he could reinforce what we’ve been doing and point out any behaviors or weak points we still have to work on. He gave lots of pointers and they certainly helped Yokos confidence on walks! So grateful for our visit and will definitely use Sid again!”


About: I've been around animals all my life. I've taken care of dogs and cats for 15 years. My family has had a golden retriever, cockapoo, golden doodle, greyhound and a rescue. I also used to have a tuxedo male cat. I am also used to small animals. I currently have a dwarf lionhead bunny with my fiance. I have a very calm and loving personality. Anyone you ask, will say I love petting animals no matter the breed or type. I also love to play, whether it's tug of war, walks, catch, whatever it is. I personally love being outdoors and being athletic with animals. I live in Edgewater right at the border of Uptown (Foster Ave&Sheridan Rd). I live next to Foster beach and would love to be able to take your pet on adventures. I am a very loving person and take care of animals as if they were my own pet, sorry if it's tacky, but I think in other peoples' shoes and it's how I'd want my pet loved. I am also comfortable with administering any medicinal needs. I am free almost 24/7. I am open to open early morning, late nights and everything in between. I am more than willing to get around about anywhere. I live in an apartment building very close to Foster beach. Very animal friendly building and a dog bath. I do live with my fiance, and she would be assisting me with pet care as needed.

“Joy was fantastic! She has a great demeanor and was very at ease when receiving our dog, which in turn made us feel comfortable leaving him there. She provided updates throughout his stay and was responsive to all our messages. He was returned to us well taken care of and honestly quite relaxed for his character, so we know he got plenty of play time in. We look forward to working with Joy in the future and highly recommend her!”


“Very happy to have found such a nice person to take care of Calvin. This is my very first time using Rover and I’m so happy to have such a positive experience. Thank you Veronica!!”


“Morty had a great time being his little lap dog self all day with Crystal and getting cute picture updates throughout the day was absolutely the highlight of my workday! She was amazingly speedy at responding to our booking request - it'd be a no brainer to book daycare with Crystal again.”

Greg D.
“Greg is truly one of those rare people who connects with animals on a deep and natural level. We have a bunny at home who absolutely adores him, and Greg is the go-to person for all the hard jobs—litter box, unexpected messes—you name it. He handles it all without hesitation or complaint, simply because he genuinely loves animals. He grew up with both a dog and a cat, and now he’s the fun “uncle” to my family’s three dogs and cat and his brothers’ three dogs as well. High-energy pups especially love him—he plays with them nonstop and keeps up like a pro. He’s incredibly gentle and patient, no matter the size, breed, or temperament of the animal. I’ve seen firsthand how much care and responsibility Greg brings to every interaction with pets, whether it's his own or someone else's. You’d be lucky to have him look after your furry family member—he treats every animal like they’re his own.”
