Doggy Day Care in Alden

“This was our first visit with Deanne. Doggy Daycare was a hit! Cash was happy when I picked him up. He was sound asleep on the couch within a 1/2 of getting home. I think he had a busy day with his new lil buddy!”

About: I have worked on and off at a local vet office as a kennel technician. I am taking online classes to become a vet assistant. I am a stay at home mom of older kids and several dogs. My dogs are friendly to other dog friendly dogs. I am starting to groom dogs in my home. I am able to give dogs baths before they go home. I have flexible hours. But I do groom dogs in my home part time. Most days I am home to be with the dogs. I have farm animals that I take care of twice a day. I will have the dogs in their crates so everyone is safe when I am not able to watch them. I have a fenced in yard. But will take your dog out on a leash to go potty. I have 6 dogs that will play with your fur baby. During the day I do put everyone in a crate from 12-1 to give everyone a little break. But usually I do not have my dogs in a crate during the day. At night my dogs are in their crates from 9:30/10:00 PM- 7:30 AM. I let all the dogs go out to potty before they are put to bed. I wash all soiled bedding right away. We do have potty pads out around our house if needed. We have several gates up to be able to keep a closer eye on all dogs. We are able to feed dogs in different areas so there is no food aggression.

“Emily treats your fur babies like her own! My girls absolutely love spending the day at doggie daycare with her and her sweet pup, Gertie. I get the cutest playtime videos throughout the day, which gives me total peace of mind knowing they're safe, loved, and having an absolute blast while I'm away.”

“Danielle is AWESOME!! Roxy had a great time with her and her dogs and kids are amazing! She sent me photos during the day and let me know how Roxy was doing. She takes her for nice walks and gets plenty of exercise and fun. I'm super happy with the care Roxy gets at her house. Thanks!”

About: Hello, my name is Sabrina and I love dogs! I have 25 years of pet care experience. My career began in 2001 when I first became an Accredited Pet Trainer. Throughout the years I've obtained several certifications in pet care, pet training, behavior modification and CPR. Although I no longer train I do enjoy spending time with our furry guests. We recently moved to a 5 acre farm and our guests love to explore the large fenced-in areas. Each stay includes a private fenced in yard, daily walks and plenty of indoor and outdoor play. We use treats, praise, and toys to encourage a positive environment. We begin our day at 0500 with a potty break and breakfast for our guests; followed by yard time. Walks, treats, and playtime are incorporated into our everyday routine. Our friends are kept busy and happy throughout the day. Building trust is my priority. I offer lots of praise, treats and playtime with our guests. Large indoor and outdoor enclosed areas for their safety. Always accompanied and never left unattended while outside. Furthermore: I am Background Verified twice a year

“Kathleen was fantastic and very accommodating when I made a last-minute booking with her. She was very flexible in terms of drop-off/pick-up, which was helpful given the fluidity of the trip I was making and I felt like Roxie was safe and going to get lots of exercise/have a ton of fun. Roxie was worn out when I picked her up at the end of the day and very happy!”

About: I focus on building trust so pets feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies (basic training and routines) and senior dogs (gentle care, patience, and medication support). Every pet is treated like family. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home. I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, so pets get consistent attention and care rather than being left alone. I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment, whether in my home or the client’s. I supervise pets closely, follow their routines, and ensure they have fresh water, proper meals, and plenty of attention. I focus on building trust, reducing stress, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and secure.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have also had a small private pet/house sitting business for the past 12 years. I have a lot of experience feeding pets with strict/special diets using oils, powders, crushed up supplements etc. and administering medicine including insulin injections. I’ve cared for dogs with disabilities and senior pets and puppies too. I love playing, walking, and just hanging out with them and giving lots of cuddles. I am a Nanny during the week, but have a somewhat flexible schedule. I generally can work the pet sitting routine into my work schedule so they are always well cared for and get plenty of attention. For boarding, my husband is home during the day and can take great care of your pets too. I am available to drop in or walk early mornings, evenings and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday’s. Pet sitting in your home - I basically “move in” for the time you are away. I follow your routine and house rules and spend most of my time in your home making sure your pets needs are met. This is especially good if there are separation anxiety issues. Boarding - I provide all loving care in my home making sure pets are comfortable, safe, and happy. Drop in- I will stop at your home and let dogs out, feed & water, play, etc. for no less than 20 minutes. I can also care for cats if you have them. Walks- I will come by, whether you are home or away, and take the dog(s) for a walk. I can feed and water too.

“Lisa did a great job of watching both my dogs one being a puppy that’s only nine weeks old. I came home to find her on the floor playing with them.”

If they don't get along my friend lives two houses down that I'll keep my dogs at, but I bet they'll be friends :D

“Thank you for taking such great care of Athena! She played with your pup so well. We will be back!”

“Was super nervous to use this service but Kathleen assured me all would be well and kept my mind at ease anytime I asked for some assurance that my pet was doing okay. Super friendly and my puppy took to her immediately (something I had not seen before honestly). Tagged on a bath and nail trim to the stay and my pet was smelling super fresh all the way home. 10/10 would recommend.”

About: I have a 2 year old pup myself! I self trained him. I walk him almost every day around town and we visit the dog park. I have the summer off as an educator and can be super flexible during the week days or week ends for your pets needs! :) I have a 2 year Aussie myself. He's super friendly, neutered. I have a crate inside and outside, no fence outside so leashes will be needed

About: It’s been a while since I offered services, but I’m getting back into it and would love to care for your babies! I have always been a dog owner - if I could rescue every dog in the world I would! Instead, I'll gladly help take care of other peoples' angels and call it a day. My sweet 11 year old dog loves to play and gets along with most everyone. She would love to make new friends and play with your pooch while you're away! I work from home so will always be around. I work from home so am always around - your dog will not be left alone! I have one dog and she enjoys to play, too! I have a yard that is partially fenced, so I will take your pup on walks or only be outside with them leashed. I take safety seriously!

About: Hello! My name is Dallas! I am a huge animal lover, and would love to care for your furry family member! I have always loved all animals and have been in this field for over 15 years. A little about me: I was a volunteer at the SPCA for a few years, back when I lived in Nevada when I was in high school. Then I worked for a 24/7 doggy day care facility for about two years in Lake Tahoe after I moved there with my husband Adam. I worked there until I started my own pet sitting/walking company. when My husband Adam owned a wooden surfboard shop there, while I started my own pet sitting/dog walking company. In 2016, we decided to travel around with our dog Myles for a bit, and converted a school bus into an RV! We both own our own companies so we’ve always been able to work remote and did the conversion on our own. Eventually we ended up in Nashville and did two house flips while still running our craft companies. In 2020 my husband and I moved back here to Illinois where Adam is from, to help his elderly parents, and the family property. We just finished converting the barn into a homestead while we are here, and just celebrated our wedding in the property in September. Sadly our dog Myles passed away peacefully last October at the age of almost 17. While my husband and I greatly miss having a dog or pet around, we’re just not quite ready to get another dog yet and we figured Rover would be perfect. I’ve had a long list of pets throughout my life, from small Pomeranians to a large PitBull lab mix and multiple cats, I haven’t met an animal I didn’t love yet haha. Adam and I live on 8 acres with plenty of room to run and play. Our home is very clean, and also very dog friendly aka we love couch snuggles! Because Adam and I both operate our own businesses, we both have separate shops built in the house so we have the luxury of getting to stay home while still working, making our schedules very open and flexible! My husband and I both own our own businesses and have our shops on our property, so we both work from home every day with a completely open and flexible schedule! I care for every pet as if they were my own, while following and respecting the owners directions and or specific requests! We have a large pet friendly house that is very empty after our lab mix passed away in fall, and for the first time we are completely pet-less. We live on 8 acres in the country with tons of space to run and play and poop and have tons of fun. We are fenced in property but because the property is so big we keep our visitors on leashes. Our home is very clean but also very dog friendly (aka we love couch snuggles and don’t mind sharing our bed haha)
