Doggy Day Care in Des Plaines

“Corey & Robert are the best sitters! Ollie absolutely loves going over there and playing with their cutest pup Bosco. He always comes home super sleepy from lots of play time. They’re super flexible and accomodating with our schedule, which has extremely helpful. I highly recommend them!”

“Lori and Will are fantastic! We are doing construction in our house and needed to give fearful Sadie a nice place to get away from the people and noise for one of the crazier days. Sadie had already been to Lori and Will's 3 times (meet and greet, a walk with their dog Winnie, and one time to meet another dog who they were boarding). Lori and Will gave us plenty of time to acclimate, and the Doggy Daycare was a success! We're planning on boarding Sadie for several days, and this turned out to be a terrific test run. Lori and Will are patient and kind, have a great home, and are very flexible. Plus, they are walking distance from us! We couldn't be happier.”

“It was Ari’s first time “out” since we adopted him 2 months ago, plus he is definitely a leash reactive dog. Do needles to say - I worried a lot. Diana was wonderful. Everything was great. She texted me and sent a video, she comforted Ari when he was missing me and I could see that he developed a trust. I am really grateful and would definitely use Diana’s services again.”

“Great dog sitter! Anna was easy to communicate with and sent us tons of photos. Highly recommend!”

The have lots of space to play around or chill. He cares very much for Bruno , they are both great hosts.”

“My Benni has been with Meghana 3 days and he would come home happy and exhausted from a fun filled day playing with her 3 dogs in an enclosed backyard. She is very caring of the dogs and very flexible with your schedule. Benni will be back for sure!”

“Janette was great with Bane, she seems very sweet and patient. I would definitely book her again,.Bane has a lot of energy and Janette was able to handle him and keep him busy.”

“Patricia and Ryan took great care of Troubles and I would definitely consider having him stay with them again in the future.”

About: I grew up on a farm training horses, caring for various farm animals, as well as handling dogs and pets. I lived with two dog trainers for multiple years. I also am an animal rescuer and foster parent that has experience with all kinds of dogs and cats with every type of temperament at every life stage. I typically spend the week days at home in Des Plaines, and the extended weekends at my boyfriend’s in River West. I work remotely and can come sit at your house for as long as required. My schedule is very flexible and I have a car that is animal friendly as well. I can provide your dog or cat with a fulfilling day of play, exercise, and cuddles! Each animal is different and I will cater to the specific needs of each pet.

“Eileen is wonderful! Our dog requires special attention due to a recent surgery. I was hesitant on leaving him with anyone. She was great with the special needs he required. She was attentive to him and kept us posted on his daily stay with her. She included pictures as well. Will be using Eileen again. Hoping that our pooch is better with his surgery at that time.”

“Sprinkles loves her!”

“Mandy was so nice!!! She took care of my dog and she was extremely cool, she sent me pictures of what she was doing and text me when my dog took her dinner. I 100% recommend Mandy!”

“Grainne has grown up with pets her entire life and always been an animal lover. She is an amazing caretaker to everyone in her life, especially animals. She even helped raise and care for a litter of puppies. She loves to spend time with her dog, Kovu. From throwing the ball in the yard to taking him on long walks around the neighborhood. My own dog is always excited to see her when we meet up for doggie playdates. Grainne is attentive, reliable, caring and trustworthy. Your pet will have a great time and will be so safe in her hands!”

“Kenny and Charvi have had dogs in their lives since they were young children. They love animals, especially dogs and treat them like they are their precious babies. Any dog owner would be very lucky to have them walk and/or watch their puppies! Respectfully, Robin K.”

“Eva helped us to take care of Winter with a short notice and Winter enjoyed the stay with Eva! You feel confidence at the moment you drop your dog at Eva’s place.”

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I had both cats and a dog growing up, which I helped care for. My love for animals continued into my adult life. I recently lost my 18 year old (very high maintenance) miniature pinscher, Buddy. I currently have two cats, a Persian (also very high maintenance when it comes to grooming) and a Lilac point Siamese. People always joke that they want to come back as one of my pets in their next life because of the love, care and attention I give them. Not only do I have almost 20 years of care experience with my personal pets (cough family), but I am also many of my family/friend’s go-to pet sitter when they travel. I have experience with pets of all life stages; young, adult and senior/geriatric. Usually with senior care comes medications, specific routines, grooming, etc, for which I am well-seasoned. My husband and I have decided to wait awhile to get another dog, meaning, I have an abundance of love to give. p.s. Attention dog owners: I’m a runner so if your dog likes to get some short distance runs in, I’m your gal. Generally, I work from home 2x per week and I am in office the rest of the week. My boss (dog owner aka his kids) is also very flexible and understanding when it comes to working from home when needed. There were many times towards the end of my love bug Buddy’s life that I needed to work from home more. When I am in office, I usually leave around 8:30am and return around 5:30pm, but my husband who is in office Mon-Fri, returns home around 3:30-4pm. My overall schedule is very flexible. I have pet sitted in both scenarios: For in MY home care- I have a fenced in backyard for quick potty breaks and for play. I also live close to and frequent often the Des Plaines River trail for walks/runs. Animals can roam free or be crated when I’m away or I can give them their own quiet space away from the kitties depending on the owner’s preference. Client home care- I understand that this is sometimes easier when it comes to routines

“Great great sitter! Scheduling was convenient, very receptive to our dog’s needs, regular updates with pictures and videos, got her favorite snack, gave her really good exercise! Just wow! Definitely will go back to Sam when needs arises for our girl.”

“Andrea took great care of of my little pup. My pup, Lola, had a lot of fun.I definitely recommend Andrea and will be using her again!!”

“Esther did a wonderful job looking after our dog. She sent us regular updates and gave her plenty of walks. We’re very pleased. Thank you!”

“I had a last minute request and was really worried about my Jax. This wonderful couple took care of my baby and he was very happy to spend a day with them. I am very thankful to have met this family and will definitely consider their help in the future.”
