Top rated Western Springs doggy day care sitters
“Venus is absolutely wonderful! She took care of my dog and asked thorough questions prior to meeting her to ensure my dog Rosie was happy. She also gave me a little report card and treats for Rosie as if Rosie was at a party. It was amazing!!!”
“Our dog Cooper absolutely loves his day care with Justin and Nathalie. Not only do they take care of him, but keep him running all day with toys and activity.”
“Yuliia is Haku’s favorite sitter for many reasons. She is so sweet and communicative which I really appreciate. I enjoy the pictures and updates she sends throughout the day while I’m at work! Haku is going on vacation for the next month, but I’m sure he’ll miss his favorite sitter very much. We can’t wait to see her again when we come back!”
“Paulina and her family did a great job with our pug! This was the first time we used the app to find a dog sitter, but this was a great experience. Paulina sent me lots of photos and videos of my dog all day and I could tell my dog was having lots of fun. Lots of tail wags. She has a nice yard too for dogs. I would definitely have her watch my dog again.”
“Rhae was very responsive, kept me updated during my dogs' stay, my dogs seemed happy! She took the time to walk them a few times while they were there just for the day. Very easy to work with, definitely recommend.”
“Great experience with Ethel. We came in from out of town to watch a Red Stars game and she took care of our bernedoodle, Frankie. Ethel’s place is a very short way from SeatGeek Stadium and Frankie came back to us happy.”
About: I have experience handling animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I have trained dogs in obedience and even competed at the state level with our family dog. Your pet may go home knowing more tricks than when it came! Although I don't have a vet tech certification, I have 2 years experience working at a vet clinic, and experience giving injections, pills, and other medical care to pets. I'm currently between jobs and spend most days in the home or running errands. There will be plenty of playtime and attention given to your pet! I also help family manage their animals at another address, and am sometimes gone for a regular work day, but only once or twice a week. I have a fenced in yard and an energetic dog to play with yours! When I am not home, all dogs are crated for their own safety.
“Phyllis and Greg, are wonderful dog sitters! They have a lot of experience with dogs and a beautiful park right out front of their house that the dogs walk in. Sugar loved it there and was so happy to see them at her first return visit.”
“Even though she was sick, Kayla took great care of my 9 week old puppy today. She was great about keeping me informed, sharing photos and videos. I was impressed how much knowledge she demonstrated and shared about puppy behavior, my dog’s breed characteristics and nutrition, I feel confident leaving my puppet with Kayla will help her socialization tremendously!”
About: $25 for first-time bookers! Your Promo Code: GRANTS01745 Hello! My name is Grant, I'm a writer and creative marketing guy who works remotely, am a huge, season-ticket-holding Cubs fan, gay-friendly, and I absolutely love dogs! I have over 16 years experience caring for my own dogs and I'm one of the best Dog Dads out there! I enjoy dogs more than people sometimes, no offense, LOL, and I've always loved dog walking, pet sitting, reinforcing training techniques as instructed by owners (and teaching my own dogs), and playing with man and woman's best friends! I would love to meet you and your best friend, and I hope to have that opportunity to make your life a little easier by letting me take great care of your little guy or gal! I spend a good 45 minutes with your little lovers, including a walk and playtime, sometimes it’s a full hour—I don’t rush. I am responsible, loving and kind, educated, and will give your dog the best care possible outside of immediate family. For longer "day of" stays, where you may be going out for the day and need me for 8 hours or more of playtime and multiple walks, I will charge minimum wage in Illinois, $15 per hour, so for example an 8-hour day at your home with your pet would be $120. Tell me more about your pet and how I can tailor my time to make them happy and take the very best care that they are accustomed to! I can walk your dog up to 3 times daily and feed the pet according to your requirements. I am used to cooking for my dog, with a small kibble supplement, so if for example, you would love me to cook up some chicken with vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, I can do that if you have the budget to accommodate purchase of the ingredients! I'm happy to play with your dog inside or outdoors, in your yard, or drive to the nearest park to get some great exercise and Vitamin D! A happy dog is a tired dog, and my plan would be for the dog to have a full day of fun and exercise! If your dog has a pal or two, or a day care you like to drop your dog off at where he or she has some buddies they like to play with, I'm willing to drop your snuggle bear off for a few hours, etc., to break up the monotony of being at home. Whatever I can do to match your dog's usual routine -- let me know -- and we'll make it happen!
About: World reknown cat lady and dog lady in search of new furbaby friends! My specialty is senior and geriatric pets. Special needs are no problem so long as you can be honest and clear about how to care for them. Communication is key! Currently taking classes online so I'm able to stay home with your pets full time. I only book one client at a time so you can rest assured your pet(s) will get exclusive care and my full attention. Chicago is my hometown but I've also done Rover pet sitting in Spain and California. Grew up with pets all my life - dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, reptiles, horses, birds, you name it. My childhood home in Palos Park was always full of animals. Cared for many senior and disabled pets as an adult both adopting and providing foster care via various rescue organizations including St Sofia's Forgotten Felines of Illinois. I only book one client at a time so I'm able to stay at home with your pet(s) full time. All I need is wifi for my classes in order to provide 24/7 care and supervision. Available for both short and long term bookings. You can count on me to shower your pets with plenty of nonstop love and attention! I'm also in the habit of keeping things tidy because a clean home is a happy home. Seeing how reviews from British clients don't appear on my US profile, just let me know if you would like to receive additional references.
About: I’ve been dog-sitting and house-sitting for clients locally for the past 15 years. I’m an avid animal advocate and treat others pets like my own. In my spare time as a health coach, I enjoy researching pet wellness and nutrition. My clients know when they go out of town that their pet is in good hands. My current schedule and availability for pet-sitting is open, as I complete additional training for health coaching. I also work remote but have flexibility on the weekdays and I’m open on weekends. I provide care for your pets based off the directions and specifications provided. All pets are completely unique and have different needs and levels of care. I enjoy providing extra attention and play to dogs/cats who have anxiety. This can get overlooked when families are busy in their routines, and is so important for pet wellness. I have many friends who have pets with “behavioral issues,” that end up being alleviated with some extra attention, love and play.
“Nala had a wonderful time at daycare with Danielle when I had to go into the office a couple of days last week! She took her out for multiple walks during the day so Nala was nice & tired by the time I picked her up after work. Danielle responded to my messages quickly and I’m thankful she was flexible when my schedule changed.”

“Grant is fabulous! FABULOUS! I have a bird, two yorkies, and one cat - I trust him with them more than I trust myself! I travel for work often and I live in the Chicago suburbs and it’s been so convenient finding someone I can trust to watch my furry family members. Grant is always responsive, sends photo updates, and leaves my home better than how I left it! I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! I know my animals are in good hands with Grant and I 100% recommend him as a house sitter & pet sitter! My pets are like my children (I don’t have kids) so I have been very lucky to find someone who cares so much about animals like Grant and I feel safe leaving them with him. Grant has also been super accommodating - he always tries to be flexible with me if I have a last minute trip come up. Thank you for all your help over the years!”
Kat V.Star Sitter
“Kat is a compassionate, responsible animal lover who will do everything to make sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved while in her care. During the years I've known her, I have seen her go above and beyond in caring for her senior and special needs pets. She's wonderful at making animals feel comfortable around her, and understands the importance of minute details when it comes to things like administering medication. I would absolutely enlist her services to watch my dog (and home) when the need arises.”

Holly was the first sitter we left our puppy with. She did a great job connecting with and taking care of our puppy. She gave us full details of the day (lots of playtime and outdoor time) and sent very sweet pictures to check-in. She is highly qualified and easy to have in your home. We’re happy to be connected with Holly and highly recommend her!
