Doggy Day Care in Barrington

“Erena day sat for our dog, Cinnamon, while we were on a day trip as a family. She was easy to communicate with, accommodating, and welcoming to Cinnamon. It was clear to us that she wanted Cinnamon to feel at home, and she eased Cinnamon very gently into an unfamiliar situation. Erena also shared pictures of Cinnamon with us during the day. We would gladly use Erena again!”

“Pattie & Mike are terrific doggie daycare providers! They are experienced "dog people" with extensive knowledge & a solid understanding of dog behavior - experts at handling different dog personalities & issues. Their home, large detached garage & fenced backyard are well-equipped & well- suited to host dogs for both indoor & outdoor playtime & rest time. Finn had a great time, as evidenced by the fun pics & videos they sent me during his stay. I will definitely use them again! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my energetic boy! Highly recommend!! ??❤”

“As always Teddy had a great time at Anna’s! Anna takes great care of him and Archer is his new BFF! I love getting Anna’s photo and video updates. They always put a smile on my face no matter what is happening at work. Definitely recommend Anna!”

“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!”

“Sarah and her extraordinary family has been my Hippo's second home for almost a year. Daycare while I'm at work and many overnights as I sometimes travel frequently for work. Today I booked Hippo's last reservation in tears - we are moving out of state and knowing my dog won't be running excitedly into her yard most mornings makes me sadder than I expected. Sarah and her family welcomed him into their home and treated him like he was their own. Frankly - sometimes he spent more time there than at home due to my work schedule. If you are fortunate to get your dog in her care - your dog will be treated as a precious family member - and this is what your dog deserves. We will miss Sarah, Sam, baby Sam, Hannah, Angel, Faith, (and of course Carl and Opal) and the whole family who loved my Hippo so much. We love you guys!”

“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!”

“This is our first time using Rover and we are so lucky to find Mary. My Shiba Inu Jiro never had any daycare or boarding experience before, Mary eased my nerves by having a Meet & Greet even before our first booking. Mary is very patient and experienced. She asked me questions about Jiro, and tried to understand Jiro better. During the day, She sent me messages and photos telling me Jiro was doing great. She also took small video clips. Jiro had great time at Mary’s place, and I will definitely book again. Thank you, Mary!”

“Sariah has a natural awareness of the needs for animals. Dogs genuinely bond quickly with Sariah’s calm, patient demeanor. All dogs love Sariah and her kids. Sariah’s children are also getting a lesson on caring for animals. The family is able to bond with long walks and playful days. I would highly recommend Sariah for dog sitting.”

“Sweta & Ronak did a great job taking care of my dog during the weekdays, Having a child and dog of their own which my dog enjoyed staying with them. They sent me photos of my dog throughout the daycare stays, it was very cute! They are great dog sitters and I would highly recommend them!.”

We play with the cats (if they are interested) and take the dogs for long walks everyday to keep them active and healty. Your dogs and cats will be safe and happy at our home. That my promise!

“Our stay with Courtney was SOO great!! My dog was really anxious at first as this is her first time in daycare with a new person, but by the second day Belle wasn’t nervous at all. By the end out our daycare session she didn’t mind leaving me at all. I could tell she was getting all the love while she was there and enjoyed being there! Courtney was great, she was super helpful and accommodating with start and end times and let me know if she had any concerns or issues with belle during her stay. Her little one Pucca was respectful that Belle wasn’t very playful l, though I’m sure she was disappointed! I would definitely recommend and rebook with Courtney! Thank you!!”

“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”

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 :)

“Judith is a very sweet, competent and accommodating caregiver. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again. 5 stars!!!”

“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.”

“Jazalyn was amazing with our boy Zuko! We can tell he really enjoyed his time with her and Frankie. She sent us videos and photos during his daycare. She even took the initiative to do a meet and greet for Zuko and Frankie before day care dat. We will definitely be going to Jazalyn again. We can’t thank you enough Jazalyn (& Frankie)! ?”

“Amanda has dog-sat for me on several occasions. She is very reliable and consistently makes sure all of their needs are met when in her care. My dogs love her!”

“Vanessa is someone I trust implicitly with my pets. She has vast experience and is a trained professional, with years working in the veterinary field. I will admit to being picky about who I allow to watch my pets, but while I was moving she took my cat and took care of her for a few weeks so I could handle my move. I’ve also seen her take care of dogs, snakes, hamsters, sugar gliders, and (of course) cats. She is friendly and caring and loves animals and works to ensure they are safe, comfortable and happy.”

“I have been working with Ashley for quite a while now, and must say she is AWESOME..We deal with a lot of different issues and personalities at the office and she has the best temperament about it all...I see the way she loves her own dog, as well as other animals in general, and can say with certainty that she would treat anyone else's pet as her own.”
