Doggy Day Care West Ridge

About: My Husband and I care for pets, its a two Man team. As a current cat owner and animal lover, I’ve developed a deep understanding of both feline and canine temperaments. My experience has taught me how to read their needs, respond with patience, and offer gentle, consistent care. As a psychology student, I bring a compassionate, attentive, and nurturing approach to pet sitting—always prioritizing emotional safety and comfort. I’m dedicated to creating a welcoming, stress-free environment where pets feel loved and secure. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique personality and needs. My Husband and I have full availablity usually, I currently work part time so I’m mostly available during the week. My Husband is mostly at home. My schooling is online, this allows me to have an open schedule for pet care. Clean, organized environment , minimizing hazards to curate a safe environment for any pet under my care and supervision. I keep things orderly and under control.

About: I’m Tony, a dog lover who will cross the street just to meet a cute pup. I’m a calm, confident, and sensitive caregiver who often hears the phrase, “Wow, my dog has NEVER warmed up to someone that fast!”. My schedule is flexible and I have lots of energy for walking and running your pups! Currently working from home so I have plenty of time to care for your pets and my flexibility can match most schedules! I also do weekends! I have a medium sized apartment for watching dogs where everything is kept very safe for them. No fenced yard but very close to lots of grass and parks for lots of outside enrichment.

“Whitney and her family were so welcoming to my sweet boy, Frankie. In such short notice, she accepted my request and provided all the accommodations my senior pup needed for the day. She was responsive and attentive to ensuring he felt welcome in her home. Thank you!”

“Our pup Albie had a great daycare day with Laura and Charles! Albie is often really nervous away from home but seemed quickly at ease! Laura and Charles sent us photos and videos and are clearly super thoughtful each dog and their needs. We look forward to having Albie stay there again!”

“Kristina is so communicative and sweet. We had never left our French Bulldog Ziggy with anyone minus family so we were very nervous. She sent pictures and provided an update when we picked Ziggy up. I feel comfortable leaving Ziggy with Kristina and you should feel comfortable leaving your dog with Kristina too!”

“Zev loves his daycare with Natalia and her fur-daughter Bella. She sends lots of updates and pictures with tails high and wagging. Now on walks, Zev is always pulling towards Natalia's house. Thank you Natalia for always being flexible and responsive!”

“Cynthia was welcoming, communicative, professional, and genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. It was great to see the dogs playing together and enjoying her house and yard, so we'd absolutely have her dog sit for us again!”

About: I am home full-time, live in an apartment with 1 adorable dog. Dogs have been a part of my family since I was a little girl. I think they are the most adorable creatures and I love their personalities. I like playing with them, teaching them tricks and just hugging them all the time. Your dog will feel like it's their home when they are with me. Hope to see your dog soon. Have a great day! About this sitter: Love Animals!

About: Hi there! My name is Nicky (he/they) and I’ve been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family members for upwards of a decade and am commonly regarded as the go-to sitter in my community. I strive to treat every pet (and owner) with the utmost respect and kindness, and I’ll follow your instructions to a T! (The T stands for toe beans 🤓) Currently unemployed due to layoffs in my industry, so I’ll be able to give your fur bestie as much attention as possible! I can do overnights, multiple nights in a row, or just a drop-in/walk; whatever you need - I got you! :) I have a fenced yard in front of my apartment complex so your fur bestie can run free and tire themselves out before beddybye! I can crate your pup if you provide one or they can get some shut-eye on the couch or wherever they’re comfy!

“Sarah and Walter took great care of my little guy. He felt really comfortable there and made himself at home. He had a good time and became Walter's shadow and his new BFF. Thanks so much guys!”

“Sophie was great. She sent photos throughout the evening and Kevin seemed to be having a great time. I would definitely feel comfortable leaving Kevin with her again.”

About: Hi! I’m Isabel - an attorney, lifelong animal lover, and experienced pet owner. I currently have two dogs and one cat - the centers of my universe. I also grew up with dogs and have been independently caring for animals for more than 15 years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have fostered dogs on several occasions and many of my own pets have been rescues, including some with significant trauma and behavioral challenges. Through those experiences, I've learned the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each animal's unique needs. Whether your pet is energetic and social, shy and anxious, or somewhere in between, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I work fully remotely as an attorney for a legal nonprofit and offer both daycare and boarding from my home. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive, reliable care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including walks, feeding, and breaks throughout the day based on your pet’s normal routine. Unlike many Rover providers, I only accept one Rover client at a time in my home. I won’t be balancing multiple Rover families or rushing between pets, which allows me to give your pet individualized attention and care. My own best experience using Rover was with a sitter who worked remotely and provided this same level of dedicated attention. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Both of my dogs are rescues - one was a surrender and the other came from a hoarding situation - so I’m used to being patient, letting animals set the pace, and helping them feel safe in a new environment. That experience has taught me that every pet is different, and I take the time to learn each animal’s personality, needs, and routine. Pets in my home are treated like family. They’re welcome on the furniture, and there are dog beds and toys throughout the house. I live just a block from the lake and take my dogs on daily walks in the park, which your pup is welcome to join if that’s something they enjoy. I’m also a very anxious dog mom myself, so I know how much regular updates matter. I’ll send photos and check-ins so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. I will strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible by following their normal feeding, exercise, and care schedule.

“Makda was a great find for our pup! He enjoyed his stay and we could not be more grateful for the quick response and flexibility Makda provided. Will definitely hire in the future!!”
