Doggy Day Care in Lake Barrington

“I can confidently say Erena is the best dogsitter out there. She keeps updating with adorable pictures and is incredibly responsive. My dog is always happy and well-cared-for in her hands. Highly recommend!”

“It was great having Kelly take care of Felix. She was very communicative throughout the whole process as this was our first time using the Rover app. She took so many cute photos of Felix and you can tell Felix was smiling and having a good time with Kelly’s lovely family. So happy that we found Kelly to take care Felix when needed. Thank you, Kelly!”

“My dog Leo has been coming here every weekday for the past year, and Sarah and her family have really treated him like one of their own. They are so nice and accommodating, and I know my dog is in great hands with them! Leo has so much fun and always gets excited when he sees we’re on our way to their house!”

“Great experience, definitely would book again, thank you!”

“Paula took great care of Felix today. He came home as a happy puppy! She took detailed notes throughout the day and took pictures of Felix. Highly recommend Paula for your special pup!”

“Joy is a wonderful person. She is great with my pup Sadie, she’s very kind and understanding. Sadie is always excited to see her. Joy is always keeping me updated and sending pictures throughout the day and letting me know how Sadie is doing, which I really appreciate. She even teaches Sadie new tricks and is always down to work on making Sadie a better listener. Overall Joy is a great choice for your pup”

“I've known Sariah for almost 8 years and have always seen her be wonderful around dogs and other animals. She's had her own dogs and even fostered dogs to adoption. She's great with our dog, Louie, always treating him like her own. She's responsible and loving, and you can trust that your pup will return happy and relaxed. I whole heartedly would recommend Sariah as your go-to dog sitter!”

About: March 2023 update: We had said goodbyes to our most beloved Ryan dog. For all of you who have been through lost, we now understand you and cry with you. We will slowly open up our schedule possibly starting summer time. You’ll see Ryan showing up in most of our photos and descriptions of our dog care style. We are just not ready to go through it and edit any yet… Thank you for understanding :) Hi! Thank you for stopping by. My name is Xu, my partner Sam and our little senior dog Ryan welcome you to our profile. We love going for walks in the neighborhood and nearby forest preserves, and some days we just lounge and sunbathe at home. I would love for your dog to join us! I believe positive reinforcement is the only way to train a dog, maybe we'll try some clicker training if your dog is interested. Ryan is an 13(ish)-year-old brindle 17 pounder. Ryan is very friendly with other doggies, no matter big or small! He likes to go for long walks, sniff around, greet other people and dogs, do some tricks to get yummy snacks, and sunbathe! We will be spending plenty of time by your dog's side as we will be home the entire time. Ryan the dog usually lounge throughout the day when he is inside the house. We will be sending plenty photos and videos updates and keeping an open line of communication. We live in a dog-friendly Townhouse next to a forest preserve for walkies! Ryan is very quiet and will not get in your dog's business. If your dog does not enjoy "parallel play" and need a play partner, Ryan is not going to be a good fit. We host dogs from only one household at a time, unless everyone meets and agree to each other prior to the stay :)

“Jeremy and his wife were awesome hosts!! Our dogs did lots of playing, walking and enjoyed hanging out with their two sweet pups for the day. Jeremy sent lots of great pictures too. We will definitely work with them again, and recommend highly.”

“Boomer loves staying here. The entire family and dogs are his second home.”

“Bryn is a very caring person and a pet lover. She has cared for an aging dog and helped raise a puppy in her home since she was a child. Bryn has also watched friends' dogs while they're families were away. She is trustworthy and responsible.”

About: My name is Anna, I’m a mom of two and lifelong animal lover. Have experience caring for dogs of all age, size, breed. All animals have very different personalities and needs. Experience with elderly, special needs, and medication administration. I understand how crazy busy life can get and sometimes you need a little help at home, that’s where I come in! At work and thinking of your pup? I’ll check in and let you know how thier day is going, including a picture/video of how happy they are! Going on vacation? I’ll make sure your dog gets the attention they crave. Love and care is what I can provide, just let me know how I can help! Feel free to ask me questions and fill me in on how your family is in need of assistance! My schedule is mostly open. Just quick trips for school drop offs, which if your pup likes car rides they are welcome to come! I work from home. I respect privacy and preference. I understand how particular animals can be and will always follow the owners lead on what to do/not to do.

“liz and kristopher are awesome! my dog loves them! they always keep me updated, have a flexible schedule and take care of my dog so well! will definitely book their services again”

“Melanie has an amazing loving family that gave my dog so much extra love and attention while I was away on business. She made the extra effort to cuddle and love on my dog as her own.”

“Alesia and ger family were super sweet with Mishka! They let him borrow a tennis ball to play fetch because I forgot to bring his. Her daughter even drew a beautiful picture of him and she is the most talented!! He came home happy and tired.”

About: We welcome dogs into our home who get along with children and other dogs and who are housetrained. We understand that the occasional accident can happen and that's okay. If your dog habitually goes to the bathroom inside the house or their crate, we cannot take them. I've been around dogs since age 8 and I've owned my own dogs for 12 years. I have 2 medium labradoodles that are super friendly and would love to host other dogs at our home. I have experience with puppy training and senior dog care. Your dog will be welcomed into our family during their stay and they will have run of the house (unless you prefer otherwise). We are crate-free unless your dog needs to be crated for any reason that you specify. Your dog will feel right at home with us while you are away. I know first-hand what it's like to worry about my dogs while I'm away from them and I'm happy to send you updates and pictures of your pet while you're gone. I am a stay-at-home parent who works part-time from home. I will be here with your pet the entire time with only short errands away from the home. We have an invisible fence in our yard for our two dogs. I will happily take guest dogs out on a leash and walk them for extra exercise. They will have run of the house (unless you prefer otherwise) and will be welcomed into our family during their stay. Your pet will also have the companionship of our two dogs that have passed temperament tests at multiple dog daycares in the area. We have 2 children: ages 4 and 8. Your dog must be comfortable with young children.

“Indre is excellent with my chocolate lab. She walks big dogs with control and energy. Rosie really loves her. Your dogs will really love her”

“Brooke is phenomenal!! She truly goes above and beyond. Brooke is great with Bessie, she is very kind and great to deal with, and we could not be happier with the care she is giving!”

“I've know David for a long time now and he's always been a great friend to dogs. He has always been very comfortable around them, but more importantly they are always comfortable around him. I haven't seen a dog that hasn't loved him. If he still lived near us we would absolutely let him hang out with our dog (a persnickety Shiba Inu named Ouchie).”

“Jennifer was very understanding with our gods needs. She has done a wonderful job with both of our dogs. I have recommended her to friends in the area.”
