Doggy Day Care Arlington Heights

“Cardinal had so much fun at his small-dog play date!! I appreciated that Betsy took time for a thoughtful meet and greet so that I was sure he would feel comfortable! I was very happy that he could enjoy time outside of his crate with other dogs in a warm and caring environment! Will definitely book again!!”

“We appreciated Paul’s help with a last minute request to watch our pup for two days over MLK weekend. He was patient with Gracie, as she was getting used to being in a new person’s house.”

“Sophie had a great day with Andrew! She had a few nature walks that I can never give her. She loved her day away from home. Andrew is excellent to work with and incredibly professional. He was consistently quick to respond and sent lots of pictures of their day together. Andrew had Sophie this summer for a long weekend and Sophie returned home happy as could be! It's as though she was with family. Thanks, Andrew, for making her days so enjoyable!”

About: Use my Promo code IZZYG96950 to get $40 off your first booking! I’ve always loved dogs 😁. I like to think I’m very reliable and genuinely care. I’m careful, gentle, and always caring. I will always be as kind and gentle as possible with your dog while also keeping them safe😁 (I don’t believe in harsh discipline.) I have experience with anxious dogs and I like to think I’m good at helping dogs with it. I myself have some anxiety 😂, so I get it. I’m open and flexible to accommodate whatever you or your dog needs. I’m also well versed in dog speak, so I’m able to know what your dog is trying to tell me from its body language 😋. I also always keep my schedule up to date so you know when I’m available 😄. I’m also getting my qualification for dog training! So soon I’ll be able to train your dog if you’re looking to do that 😉. I’m very flexible with time. I’m free all day every day with a few in person/zoom appointments some days 😁. For the rare times I’m not home, my nanny is! (And she of course loves dogs. She has 2 of her own 😁.) She works 7am-4 or 5pm. So if I’m out in those hours there will be times where the dog will be alone for a few hours but I try to keep it no more than that 😊. You’ll let me know what your dog needs. My house: I have a big house/nice big unfenced yard I can walk the dog around on leash, and a small portion of the yard fenced to let them out. I’ve decided for (kind of arbitrary unrealistic anxious 😆) safety reasons, even though it connects from a doggy door and is completely closed off, I’m always gonna be out there with the dog just to make sure everything’s cool. The fence (real/wooden not electric) is totally stable, and I just put rocks in places that I wanted extra coverage 😊, so your dog is absolutely not getting out 😂. All of my neighbors have dogs. They’re all fenced/electric fenced in and very well behaved. Except there’s one down the hill that barks sometimes but usually it’s quiet enough you can’t hear it. She a sweetheart her name is Sparky 😁. If your dog has trouble with other dogs I’ll make extra sure to stay away from that house. When I walk the dogs up my hill it’s the other direction anyways. There are also no cats around. There are a ton of bunnies and squirrels and stuff but I’m strong enough with dogs to hold them back I’ve never had a problem. I have experience with/know how to handle strong dogs💪. Walking: There are a ton of woods/paths right next to my house, you can look around on the map for yourself. Some places I love to walk are Audubon, Hay road, and Snake hill (it’s just a name don’t worry 😅.) Supplies: While I’m walking a dog I carry poop baggies, water and a water bowl, and a ball/toys (even though I never let the dog off the leash when we’re out on a walk.) When I board or doggy day care I use the same things. I have other dog supplies too like bathing stuff, a leash, food/food bowls etc in case you forget your stuff 😁.

“Janette and her family, including their dog Luna, are so wonderful to our dog, Lenny. She is so kind and communicative! Lenny loves spending time with them and going for walks in their beautiful neighborhood. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dog!”

“My dog Bojji had such a great time! He was taken care of so well and he had so much fun he didn’t want to leave. He had so much fun he was wonderfully tired and went into a deep sleep when we came home!”

Alyssa K.

“Ben and his family took great care of Zelda and were very accommodating of our busy schedule. She came home happy and well exercised from playing with their pups all day. We will definitely book with Ben again!”

About: I provide a safe, loving, and fun environment for every dog. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and large breeds, including Golden Retrievers. I understand the importance of maintaining each dog’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I will treat your dog like a member of my own family and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I am responsible, patient, and committed to giving pet parents peace of mind with regular updates and photos. I study Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and I am home for the rest of the day. On weekends, I am usually home all day, so I have plenty of time to provide attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. I can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs and make sure they receive the care and love they deserve. I live with my boyfriend in a house, and we have a friendly 5-month-old Golden Retriever who loves being around other dogs. He sleeps in our bedroom with us and is treated like a member of our family. Every morning, he lets us know when he needs to go outside. Before we leave for class, we make sure he has fresh food and water, and we leave a puppy pad available in case he needs it while we’re away for a few hours. As soon as we get home, we take him for a walk, play with him, and spend quality time together. We also have a big backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. We regularly take our dog to the park, the lake, and even the beach because he loves the water and being outdoors. Since it’s just the three of us at home, we can give every dog plenty of attention, love, playtime, and care. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy, just like they do at home.

“Jennifer gave Piper a great day filled with walks and playtime. She was so tired when she got home! Thanks again!”

About: We’re a warm, dog-loving family in East Arlington offering a cozy, calm home for dogs to stay. We’ve cared for family and friends’ pets for years, and our 8-year-old daughter Ella is a gentle animal lover who loves joining in walks and cuddles. We work from home, have a fenced backyard, and host just one household at a time so your pup gets full attention. Whether your dog loves to play, lounge, or stick to a routine, we’re ready to make them feel at home! We work from home full time and walk to school each morning and afternoon—built-in walks for your dog! We’re available for boarding most weekends and weekdays with plenty of flexibility, especially during the day. Your dog will rarely be left alone and will be surrounded by people who truly enjoy their company. We have a private yard for outdoor time and will tailor your dog’s environment based on their needs—whether they’re crate-trained or free-range, active or mellow. Our home is calm, with no other pets, and we only accept one dog or family at a time to ensure your pup feels secure and cared for. We’re happy to follow any feeding, medication, or sleep instructions you provide.

“I was a bit nervous, this is our first time trying day care for my shelter dog. Ismael has such a calming manner that put both of us at ease. I plan on calling on him again!”

“August was such a great babysitter for our dog Honey. We really appreciate the care she received including walks and treats. She had a great time playing with their dog Miu Miu. We appreciate it very much.”

“I’ve known Junho and his adorable dog Boki since Boki was just a tiny three-month-old puppy, back when we first met in our apartment building. Over the years, I’ve seen how much care Junho gives to Boki, and how gentle and kind he is with other dogs he meets on their walks. When Junho started Rover, I knew right away that I could trust him with T-Rex. My dog requires extra care and attention due to specific conditions, and Junho followed all of my instructions thoroughly. He even sent me multiple photos and updates without me having to ask, which gave me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for a sitter, I highly recommend Junho. He’s easy to work with, and his wonderful dog Boki will make a great companion for yours. Boki is super friendly and loves to play, but also knows how to give space if another dog isn’t in the mood.”

About: As a groomer of dogs and cats, I've worked with hundreds of animals of all temperaments. Anxious or shy pets are not a problem! I've also worked to help train service animals of various breeds as well as past training on my late dog who struggled with anxiety related behavioral issues. Large or small, I can handle them all. Counter surfers, timid, low energy, high energy, etc., they all are lovable and can be cared for by me. I never stop learning about animals and will continue to grow alongside them as we adventure together! I have a wealth of knowledge and experience to ensure they have the best time possible while in my care. I'm experienced in medication administering and senior animal care as my cat is a senior who requires medication daily, as well as my late dog who required it as well. I frequently update and send photos of your happy family member(s), and if extra services, special care, or other arrangements are needed I'm extremely flexible! You can rest assured that your pets will be well cared for and loved with me. My schedule is flexible and I'm able to accommodate to your needs! I understand that pets and parents may require flexibility and I'm more than happy to arrange whatever you and your pet need. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and your pet will have plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and naps! I'll be sure to stick to their schedule and keep their routine while maintaining cleanliness as well. I have no issue cleaning pet bowls, crates, blankets, beds, cat litter, dog waste, or otherwise needed items.

“Deveney took great care of our dog, and she kindly accommodated a last minute booking and a later night pick up which was most appreciated! She sent great updates and pictures regularly and was quickly responsive.”

I also love going on walks or runs and cuddling with your fur baby if they'll let me I have a fenced yard where your dog can have supervised playtime and a large living room where your pet and I can hang out. I'm also happy to run or walk walk your dog as often as needed! I can offer intense and safe play for high energy dogs. I will respect your cat's space, but am happy to cuddle and play with toys as needed

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have an 11-year-old French Bulldog, so I understand the importance of patient, attentive care and maintaining pets’ routines and comfort. My sweet dog lives with my mom at the moment, so I miss her dearly and hope to get my fill of dog love on Rover! In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve provided boarding and drop-in visits for many dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, administering basic care, and making pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I always prioritize clear communication and send regular photo updates (I certainly demand many from my mom and would provide the same for you!) so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of availability to take care of your darling pup or kitty. I am available most weekends and weekday early evenings. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment that keeps pets as close to their normal routine as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications or special instructions, and each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and opportunities for play and rest. I have experience caring for both energetic dogs and older pets, including my own 11-year-old French Bulldog, so I understand the importance of patience, safety, and routine. In clients’ homes, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. During drop-in visits or house sitting, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, fresh water, and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel informed and reassured while they’re away. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
