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!

This was my first dog sitter and I couldn’t have been luckier. I was nervous but Miss Lorena took great care of my pup and sent pictures of him along the way. Scrappy got very comfortable in her home with her husband Alex as well. And she lives in a great neighborhood where Scrappy took many walks. Thank you again Miss Lorena it was great meeting you.

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.

Elena is amazing!! She is very responsive, followed my instructions, and took such great care of Briscoe -- my sweet pup was happy and tired when I picked her up, so I know she had a fun day with Elena. Briscoe is looking forward to the next time she sees Elena! Thank you so much!!

Koka began pet sitting for me when she was in college and has always been my go to sitter. Dogs, cats lizards and anything in between. She is a true animal lover. She can be counted on to be responsible and act appropriately if an emergency arises.

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: My name is Veronica, I am a board certified Animal Care Specialist and Groomer. I am a nature kind of person who believes in giving my pets a life of adventure outdoors. I enjoy playing games with them in the yard or nature walks, swimming.. I do a little bit of basic training such as, sit stay come and many tricks. I have two dogs and one macaw. I believe in creating a home away from home environment for pets. Unless, required by pet owner for specified reason to use a crate. I would be happy to articulate further details.. Meet my pets I have 5 cats , hearing service dog and a yellow canary. I groom/pet-sit dog walk for a living at home. I live on a 1/2 acre lot. Back yard is fenced in. I play Frisbee with the German shepherd in the yard. I take my dog on long walks at camp Logan, bike trails and beaches. She enjoy swimming and she loves Frisbee fetching in lake Michigan as well as in the yard. We go for at least 1-2 hour walks during late spring-late fall daily. Winter months I only take her for shorter walks depending on the temperature. I also enjoy teaching young dogs new tricks for treats. I treat my client dogs as if they are my own. Concern for the well-being and mental stimulation as well as physical stimulation. I make certain that there are no harmful objects or chemicals that exist to medicate any possibility of illness to occur.

Dora was a great pet sitter. August needed a safe and friendly place to stay while we went on our adventure to six flags. She sent lots of pictures and august came home happy and tired. I would definitely recommend for one off or regular doggy day care.
