Pet Boarding Whiting

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Before joining Rover, I regularly used Wag to walk and care for dogs, so I’m familiar with working with different breeds, temperaments, routines, and owner preferences. I’m new to Rover, but not new to dog walking or pet care. I’ve also cared for dogs in my own home and helped friends and family with their pets. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, senior dogs, shy dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I enjoy long walks, exploring new neighborhoods, and making sure every dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and care they need. I live on Chicago's Far South Side, but most of my clients are in neighborhoods farther north, including Lincoln Park, Fulton Market, and nearby areas. I’m happy to travel for scheduled walks and drop-in visits, so I’m a good fit if you’re looking for a reliable walker or sitter who is willing to come to you. I’m happy to accommodate each dog’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, special instructions, and plenty of updates while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a reliable sitter, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine through caring for my own dogs. I’m used to incorporating walks, feeding, play, training, and general care into my day and paying close attention to each dog’s individual needs. I currently work part-time, and I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable managing dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize safety and make sure all dogs are comfortable with one another. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines and instructions closely and focus on keeping their pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Dwight did a really good job making me feel comfortable about Gigis stay. She's a skittish dog and he took the time to let her warm up and get adjusted. The recaps and pics he sent were very detailed. I will definitely be rebooking!”

“Dominique is great with my girl Pip !!! My dog recognizes her block in the neighborhood as we walk by and even stops to smell the entrance with excitement each time we pass by. Dominique is quick to respond, sends lots of updates with pictures, and I come home to a happy tired dog after being away!!”

“Cassandra took great care of my dog Ace during his 4-day stay. I can tell he had a good time hanging out with her dog, Chewy. Cassandra was a pleasure to work with and I hope to use her services again for future boarding.”

“We were nervous leaving our pupper with anyone overnight, but Monica and Dan were just wonderful! The pictures and messages they sent while we were on vacation reassured us and let us know how much they enjoyed watching Maddie. I think she will miss them now that she is home! We recommend them 1000%!”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable dog walker and pet sitter with 5+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Many of my current clients come through referrals from happy pet parents, which I’m incredibly proud of because it shows the trust and care I put into every visit. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or overnight stays, I make sure your dog stays comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I always follow each client’s instructions closely—including feeding times, walk routines, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I’m also respectful of your home, keeping everything clean and well maintained during overnight stays. My goal is simple: give you peace of mind while giving your dog the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. (Plus you get updated photos on your furry friend when your away on vacation/dinner/work *only applies after our time spent together) I’m currently a college student online I have a flexible schedule. I’m available Monday-Saturday from 1-10pm. Any overnight stays would need to be scheduled in advance with specific days listed I have open availability for that since I do take online courses. I have fenced yard I will always keep your entertained and always on the go your pets will definitely love me. I also love doing walks and training pets to do new tricks

“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”

“I had surgery unexpectedly and Joy and Dan accepted my last minute request of dog boarding. My puppy was very excited to go back there and when I picked him up he was very happy. He had a very good visit with them. I am very satisfied with the care that they provided to my puppy.”

“Arianna is an excellent dog sitter!! She took great care of my Izzy. My Izzy is a shy and nervous girl and Arianna made sure to keep her calm and comfortable. Arianna also gave frequent updates and pictures. I would highly recommend letting Arianna watch your dog. She is great !!!”

“We were so lucky to find Ebonee for an extended stay for our dog London. She was incredibly thorough and flexible - we had an intro zoom call (which I LOVED), and she kept us updated with pictures and videos and was understanding of our flight issues returning home. London had a blast and came back to us in great spirits. Thanks for your care, Ebonee!”

“I really like Delilah’s sitter. She was nice and professional and I loved how she got her to feel comfortable with being there. Delilah has a stomach issue but the sitter sat with her and hand fed her. I would ofoved a lot more pictures but the ones she at made me feel comfortable with leaving her and knowing she was safe.”

Lynn E.

“Amy was amazing with Jax!!! She gave daily night reports, long walks, intentional playtime. Jax got along with her pups too. She even gave him a nice bath so he was perfect returning to us. I'm sure Jax didn't want to leave with all of the love and care from Amy. Highly recommend and will definitely return.”

“I recently had the pleasure of booking Kendra for a last minute weekend stay for my favorite fur baby Rogue. Kendra got back to me rapidly after I requested to book and immediately set up a meet and greet session in an area convenient for the both of us. She has very good energy and her natural love and care for dogs showed right away in how she greeted Rogue. She was very clear on her instructions for the weekend stay and sent ample updates and pics to make sure we knew that Rogues was being well taken care of during her stay. I would definitely book Kendra again, and felt that she did a wonderful job taking care of our dog especially with such short notice.”

“Kyla took great care of Winston while we were on vacation for an extended period of time. This is the second time she has assisted while we were overseas. She has a proven record of taking care of our 17 month old, high energy Schnauzer and providing frequent updates. We will continue to ask for her assistance in the future.”

Thong L.

“OMG she was wonderful. Her space was nice and clean she checked in everyday with me I was running late she assured me it was ok my dog went on play dates and much more. I would definitely be using her every time.”

Tiffany S.

“I really appreciate Jenevieves prompt response time. She texted and sent pictures of Millieon and just provided outstanding care and comfort at such short notice .”

“Kassia and Flash were great hosts for Rockett for a week long stay while I was out of town for work. Kassia was quick to respond and shared updates with me. I highly recommend Kassia for boarding or daycare!”

Kristina R.

“Manuel was so good to my baby Luna!!! He agreed to a last minute booking for me during a week long vacation. He sent daily photos and updates and was very responsive to messages throughout her stay. We will DEFINITELY book with him again!”

Pascale L.

“Tanesha was wonderful! This was Midnight's first time with a sitter, so we were very worried. Tanesha sent us pictures and videos of Midnight throughout her stay. I can tell that she gave Midnight her undivided attention. We were very pleased with Tenesha, she treated Midnight if she was her own. We would definitely use Tanesha again.”

About: I've owned and cared for dogs since elementary school. Including pet sitting for several senior dogs. I find bonding with and learning each other's quirks very rewarding At the moment my schedule revolves around my pets. I don't have a full time job, and so have plenty of time to spend with them. My adult dogs get one long walk a day, one short walk, and yard time in between. I have a 6 foot fenced in yard with plenty of space to play, and I live in a single family home, so nobody else will have access to your pets if they're with me. I have separate rooms, and an extra crate, play pens, and a quiet room if anyone needs to be kept separate.
