Doggy Day Care Arlington Heights

“Sarah was very sweet! I was super nervous as I had never left Oakley with a sitter before, but Sarah was very accommodating and assuring. She sent daily pictures and was happy to have Oakley stay!”

“Mya did such a great job with my girl Mina on such short notice! Will definitely be using her as our sitter going forward. She had such a nice time with her dog as well & was very caring for her while she was in heat changing her diaper often. Could not suggest her as a sitter more!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so I’m comfortable caring for them through every stage from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower, more attentive approach. I’m patient with puppy routines and understand the consistency they need, and I’m equally mindful of the extra care, gentleness, and awareness senior dogs require. I genuinely enjoy being active, so long walks, playtime, and making sure dogs get the exercise they need is something I prioritize. At the same time, I’m very in tune with each dog’s personality whether they’re high energy or more of a couch companion and I adjust my care to fit what makes them happiest and most comfortable. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m currently in school and working part-time, which allows me to be home the majority of the week and flexible with scheduling walks, feedings, and playtime. During the week we are available, and depending on the weekend, we are often available then as well. My husband works locally and can come home as needed, so there is consistent care and attention for the dogs throughout the day. Because of this, I’m able to provide a stable, attentive environment where pets aren’t left alone for long periods and can stick to their normal routines. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in my home or a client’s home. At my home, we have a fenced yard that allows for safe outdoor play and exercise, along with plenty of supervised time inside for rest and attention. I follow feeding schedules closely, keep water fresh, and make sure each dog gets the right balance of activity and downtime. I’m comfortable with crate routines if that’s what your dog is used to our own dog loves her crate but I also welcome dogs who prefer their own bed and a more relaxed setup. In a client’s home, I aim to keep everything as consistent as possible with their normal routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, and any specific instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure.

“Daniella was so awesome! She took Archie with late notice and made him feel right at home. She updated us regularly. Will definitely use her again!”

About: 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and 15 years caring for cats in both personal and family settings. Skilled in daily walks, exercise routines, feeding schedules, administering basic care, playtime, companionship, and providing a safe, loving environment for pets of all sizes and temperaments. Experienced with energetic puppies, senior pets, multi-pet households, and understanding animal behavior and comfort needs. Dedicated to reliable, compassionate, full-service pet care with a true lifelong passion for animals. Pet care is already part of my everyday life. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, medication needs, and making sure every pet gets personal attention, comfort, and consistency throughout the day. I care for every pet like they are my own by keeping a clean, calm, and safe environment. In clients’ homes, I follow all instructions carefully, maintain routines, secure doors and gates, and make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with multiple dogs, one of which I took care of myself once I was older. I had dog sat for friends and even teachers before. I have volunteered at dog shelters to walk and take care of dogs. I love all dogs and dogs love me. I am currently unemployed, searching for a job. I live in an apartment and am able to board a dog at any time of the week. I have room to play with them and for them to rest. My building has dog-walking areas and, in general, is located in a walkable area for dogs.

“Molly and Trey took great care of Gambit for us! He came home happy, and we got a super cute pic of him hanging out with their sweet dog. They were very easy to communicate with and made me feel very comfortable. I would definitely have them watch Gambit for us again!”

About: I’ve had experience with both dogs and cats, having been a dog owner myself and currently a volunteer foster in the DFW area. I have cared for all ages — including puppies, kittens as young as 1 week old, adult cats/dogs and senior dogs. I hope to care for your pet be it in the comfort of their home or ours. Lots of room in the backyard for zoomies! I do work full time but have the flexibility to work from home. I typically go into the office 3 days a week and do half days as I occasionally pet sit or care for foster animals. Happy to talk about arrangements or flexibility! We do not have any permanent resident pets in our home, just the occasional fosters. We do crate when away from home, but pets have full roaming capabilities when we’re home. If I come to your home I’m happy to abide by any rules or routines you prefer!

About: I’ve frequently been called “the dog whisperer.” I have over 52 years of pet care experience. Dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles, and rats! I currently have a Therapy dog (Buster). Animals are natures way of putting a smile on our faces and a calmness in our hearts. We should offer them the same kind of love in return. ❤️ I work from home and my hours are flexible. I walk my fur baby three miles every day. If you prefer I walk your dog separately I am perfectly happy to do so. But if socialization is one of your goals, I can make it a group outing. I prefer to care for your pets in their own environment. It can be stressful enough that their parents are gone and it adds more stress when we remove them from their forever homes at the same time. At my home we spend much of our daily play time outdoors playing frisbee and swimming. I have a pool and Buster loves to swim. In the evenings when it cools down we venture out for walks (sometimes jog) for 3+ miles every day. It keeps us both feeling young.

“Monica is the best! Very prompt and courteous in replying to messages, and very personable overall. Our dogs had a blast with her, even our grumpy Frenchie! She is very experienced and adept at handling multiple dogs at once, and has systems for separating pups if needed. We will definitely be booking with Monica again for our doggy needs.”

“Alex was great! He sent me a ton of photos and videos of my doggos enjoying a nearby park while they stayed with him. We’d definitely look him up again when in the area!”

About: I have had a lifetime of experience having pets as well as volunteering & working for the Humane Society.

I currently housesit & dog walk in my childhood neighborhood & have for the same family for 3 years. Im open to helping other families tend their animal babies while at work or on vacation. I love animals & helping families with a trusted pet Nanny service! I make sure to keep water fresh & clean, foods with accurate amount & frequency depending on you or your pets dietary needs. I provide plenty of one on one play & incorporate positive reinforcement in with playtime! I love to take dogs & cats if needed, on walks in safe areas & on safe routes (not by high traffic roads) in your neighborhood to help them with muscle memory on a safe route in case they ever needed that. I encourage animals to feel free & loved by playing a variety of games with them & keeping them focused on specific scratching posts, toys & good behaviors that make their bond with their own family healthier & more fulfilling for everyone!

“My two frenchies have never stayed with anyone other than family or our best friends. We were nervous but Carolyn kept us informed and sent us photos of them daily. She put our minds and hearts at ease just a few hours into their first day we knew they were safe and well cared for. We are so thankful to find her and will be using her again soon.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. I always had dogs growing up and they are the loves of my life. I adore cats as well. Since being a teenager, I have offered pet care services to friends and neighbors. I have taken care of a wide variety of different kinds of dogs and cats and adjusted to their unique needs. I have a passion for all animals and feel so beyond blessed to be able to spend time in the presence of your angel babies (your pets!). I receive so much joy from playing with them, going on long walks, and petting them. When it comes to animals- I over give! I douse them in my love. I work part time online so I have a lot of free time. I am a home body and don't go out. I spend all my time at home and going on walks and being in nature. When it comes to safety, I take utmost precaution. When I was 5 years old, my precious dog was hit by a car, and that taught me everything I need to know about strict precaution. As a child, I also had another dog that got bit and badly hurt by another dog. So when it comes to walking dogs, I am extremely cautious about contact with other dogs. I usually cross the street when I see a dog coming and I am always prepared to pick up small dogs in case of an altercation. For pet care in my home, my yard is fenced in and perfectly safe. When I house sit for other homes, I take it very seriously to protect the owner's home and dog- keeping doors closed and locked, etc.

“Im so grateful for Geneva! I was in a bind last minute and I reached out to her. She responded so quickly to my request and watched my Ralphie for a whole day! She has a very cute home with a great backyard for him to play in. Ralphie was in great spirits when I picked him up and slept so soundly when we came home. I kniw he had such a great day with her! Thank you Geneva 😊 I've got her booked for next weekend already and I know Ralphie is excited too. Thank you for taking care of my boy 😌 I know he's in good hands with her ❤️”

About: I have many years of experience as a dog walker and sitter. I have two dogs: a chihuahua named Minnie, and a corgi mix named Stubbs. They’re both very friendly and well trained. I’m a huge dog lover- every time I see one in public I have to pet them. I grew up with dogs and I’ve never not had one. My dogs are part of the family, and they’re very spoiled. I have a house with a big .25 acre fenced in backyard with plenty of shade and a dog door which can be closed. I have several tennis balls and other toys, and I love to go for dog walks around the neighborhood & to the dog park. Your fur babies will get plenty of love, attention and cuddles with me! I work from home, so I’m fully dedicated to taking care of your pups! I will make sure they are treated just like my own, and get plenty of walks and playtime. I offer free pickup & drop off as well! I have a large .25 acre fenced yard that is perfect for playing fetch, and two friendly dogs for your pups to play & cuddle with! I always have lots of toys around, and dogs are always welcome on the couch & bed.

“Janet was prompt in her response when I needed a last minute sitter and had good communication throughout the day. Millie was so excited!”
