Doggy Day Care in Cedar Lake

“As a new owner to a puppy with a medical condition, I was beyond nervous to leave Denali while I went to work. From the moment I sent the request to book with Raj, she was providing reassurance that she would be protected, and love her time with their family. She sent photos from the moment I left her driveway, and took extra precautions to ensure her safety while she was in her care. She even gave me some helpful tips on how to manage her diet and keep her calm while she healed. Her family has an incredible gift with dogs, and the love that they give them shines through every photo. As a pet owner, finding a family that can love your little one is the greatest blessing and I found that in hers. I cannot recommend this family enough!!”

“Danielle and her whole family were so nice! I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. She sent a couple photo updates while we were out and was very easy to schedule with and get in contact with ahead of time. Will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I have spent my whole life being a dog owner and I've always had one to two dogs as my personal pets throughout my entire life. We treat our pets like family here and genuinely enjoy being around them, they bring joy and love to our days and each have a personality that makes them unique and love able I work from home and available throughout the day to interact with your pets, take them out for bathroom breaks and feed them. I also am available to send update photos to pet owners all throughout the day to ensure their confidence and ease their mind about their pets safety and happiness I have a fully fenced in yard and two dogs of my own to keep yours company. I have two large indoor crates that also can be used upon request. I have no young children in my home, my 3 kids are older teenagers and young adults. This is a non-smoking home and pets are allowed on beds and furniture at all times

About: We care for your dog like they are our own. We lost our dog Bandit about two years ago. He was a huge part of our family and we miss him every day. We treat any dog we watch as our own. Lots of love, lots of walks and lots of play. We let the dog on the furniture and in bed if the owner approves. We watch our neighbors dog often, she has become part of our family, so much so, she will come paw at our door to see us. Our neighbors say it is such a relief to have the dog stay with us because they don't worry about her. We will send pictures and let you know they are doing well. We will love them as if they were their own. I am home all day most days and my husband works from home several days a week. Maybe a few errands and if we can take the dog we will. We have two sons at home 16 and 11, both are very good with all dogs, but they will not be relied on for care. We have a fully fenced yard for the dog to run. We have a pool, but put up a fence around it, so the dog can have free rain of the yard.

“This was my Milo's 1st time ever being out of our home & with a stranger. I felt like a bad dog-mom leaving him daily and he wasn't too happy about the notion either. Seeing Eileen's patience & affection toward animals & receiving daily pics & videos of my boy all calmed my quills & assured me he was adjusting well & was in great hands.”

About: Both my husband and I grew up with multiple dogs in our household. We dog sit for all of our friends year round whenever they travel. I work in the office 4 days a week but my husband works full time at home. We also have a dog of our own that we let go / walk throughout the day. We have a huge fenced in backyard where your dogs can run around freely! We also make sure to keep anything dangerous out of harms way for any pets.

About: 🐾 Hello, my name is Samona! I have always been a passionate pet lover. My personal experience with animal's dates back to early childhood. As I got older my love for animals has grown even more. I am a reliable and experienced pet sitter with deep love for animals. I work from home which grants me the opportunity to take your fur baby out anytime of the day to play in our large fenced in yard. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I specialize in dog boarding as well as doggy daycare. I'm comfortable administering medications, managing complex feeding schedules, and providing lots of love and attention to every furry friend. I believe in creating a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for pets in my care. *** I also have professional experience through Wag. Boarding, walking dogs, etc… I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am available weekdays as well as most weekends. Whatever works best for you :) My number one goal is to make your pup(s) feel at home! Regular exercise and playtime are provided. There will always be an unlimited source of fresh water. Indoor/outdoor beds are supplied as well as plenty of toys to play with. Bentley and Bear are also extremely playful and really enjoy having a furry friend to mingle with.

“Adrienne was great! She does not know this until now but she cared for him just as I wanted. I look forward to working with her again and will definitely be requesting her services again!”

“Wonderful job! Marcia is very kind, and her kids are awesome with Roswell. I like the family environment she provided to Roswell, and the much access it was given to Roswell. He felt like home. Once we made back home Roswell was ready to go to bed after a playful day. He had a very good time with Marcia and her kids. 100% recommended”

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember and i’ve always had a passion for working with animals. I have experience as a dog bather so i’ve seen various breeds and i’ve met dogs of all ages! I am an animal lover, I’ve taken care of all types of animals from dogs and cats to goats and cows 🐄. I am determined to make your pets time with me as stress free as possible! pets>people! ❤️ I am currently working part time, so your pets will have my full attention! I have a dog myself as well as two cats who I am responsible for as well as other family pets. I have one dog who is very friendly, and two outside cats. if your dog is stressed by other animals I am able to set up a crate if needed in a separate room or also just spend a lot of time outside with your dog to keep them happy and away from the stress. I have a fenced backyard and a safe neighborhood for walks. This also applies to your home

“Chelsea was absolutely everything my wife and I were looking for in a sitter. We could tell from the moment that we met with Chelsea, that we had made the right decision in choosing her. Our dog Nelly is the very nervous type when she first meets anyone, but Chelsea just had a way about her that relaxed my dog Nelly and my wife at the same time. :-) It is obvious that Chelsea has a true love for animals and really wants to make sure the owners are worry free while she has their pets. We received many updates throughout the day on how Nelly was doing as well as pictures. If you are looking for the best sitter that you can find, look no further because you will not find a better, more compassionate and caring person then her. Thank you Chelsea for taking such good care of our Nelly”

“Alex took great care of my puppy! He was there all day while I was at work, I got to enjoy pictures and videos she took of him throughout the day. He went on multiple walks which he loves! She was very accommodating to my schedule and quick to reply to any messages! I couldn’t recommend her more! My puppy can’t wait to go spend another day with Alex”

About: Some people have photo albums full of babies and friends. I have a gallery of animals I’ve befriended—on sidewalks, in parks, on farms, and even in random parking lots. Sometimes I even go to the dog park just to hang out with dogs and soak up their joyful energy. My friends know I’ll stop mid-sentence to meet a dog. Provided the owner approves, I introduce myself, learn about the breed and its story, snap a few pics, and send a text introducing the pet to my mom, son, sister, and niece—like it’s breaking news. (They’ve come to expect this. It’s basically a subscription service now.) I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. When I traveled, it meant everything to me that the person watching my dog and cats would love them like their own. That’s exactly how I approach every pet I care for. Whether your dog is playful, shy, high-energy, or a couch potato, I’ll meet them where they are and treat them like family. I follow their routine, keep you updated with happy pics, and make sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for until you return. I grew up with dogs, and over the years, friends have entrusted me with both their homes and their beloved pets. Just this year, I’ve cared for: – Five sweet—but high-maintenance Chihuahuas (yes, all at once!) – Seven animals in one home: a high-energy Mexican street dog rescue and six cats (including three feral kittens and three indoor/outdoor adults) – A mature lab/retriever mix – And my beloved grand-dog 💛 If your dog boards with us, welcome to Camp Mimi! 🐾 Here, they’ll get a double dose of attention and affection. My love for animals started with my mom, who always had dogs by her side — first dachshunds (my aunt bred them!), and later, energetic border collies and loyal Australian shepherds. Caring for animals runs in the family, and at Camp Mimi, your pup becomes part of the pack. They will have a spacious yard, squirrels to chase, room to play, a pool to cool off in, and daily walks tailored to your pup’s needs—it’s like a dog’s dream vacation. Check out the Camp Mimi photos – you may want to stay here too! Not boarding? I also offer drop-in visits and dog walking at your home, with the same loving care and attention. I’m also a professional organizer and gardener, so I bring a natural sense of order, calm, and care into every space I’m in. Should you want me to stay in your home, I can be available for extended periods of time. You can count on me to keep your home and garden tidy, peaceful, and well-tended, just as you left them—or maybe even a little better. If you're looking for someone your pet will genuinely want to see again— I’d be honored to be a loving steward of your pet(s) and your home while you’re away. My schedule is flexible and I have a car. I can pop in for a quick visit or spend time with your furry one(s). Walks, playtime, or whatever you need. How I Care for Pets in My Home At Camp Mimi — affectionately named after my mom, whose lifelong devotion to dogs inspired my own — your pet becomes part of the family. We offer a cozy, calm environment with room to roam, squirrels to chase, and even a pup-approved pool to splash in. I follow your dog’s routine closely — walks, meals, meds, naps — to keep them feeling safe and loved. We are home most of the day, so they’ll get tons of attention, snuggles, and regular photo updates from their stay at Camp Mimi. Bonus: We are home most of the day, so they’ll rarely be alone. 🐾 How I Care for Pets in Their Home When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I treat your space and routine with great respect. I keep pets on their normal schedule — walks, meals, meds, bedtime — and send regular updates with photos so you know they’re happy and safe. Whether they’re energetic explorers or sofa snugglers, I match their vibe and keep them comfortable while you’re away. I also bring a professional touch: I’m a seasoned house sitter, gardener, and organizer, so your home will be well cared for too.

“Panther was well taken care of. He enjoyed his time. Steven is excellent sitter.”

About: I have many years experience of pet care from ownership to boarding to walks. I’m an outdoors womanI love all animals and will treat your pets like family because that’s what they are. I am retired and want to dedicate my free time to do what I love most. Spending time and caring for animals. I also know how to teach dogs some tricks they may not know yet. In the end you can rest well and know your pet will be safe with me. Your pet will have 1 on 1 time with me. If needed your pet will not have to be around other pets if that makes them uncomfortable. I understand that some animals don’t like to share their humans and can not coexist with other animals. I am an animal free home. Most of my lifelong experience has been with corgis and Australian shepherd’s although I’ve cared for many different breeds. I am always available for FaceTime during their stay. I don’t mind sending pictures and videos daily either I am retired and have an open schedule to dedicate my time to your pets. I love walking at all the different parks and bringing the pups with me to explore. I also have a pet friendly lake close by. If your dog is a swimmer i will gladly take them weather permitting. During their stay i will also have field trips to the dog park and other locations if you’re okay with me driving with your pet. I have 3 acres of property for your pet to explore. All my plants are pet safe. I don’t use any chemicals that are harmful in or outside my home. Over an acre is fenced in for your pet to run freely. On hot days I have baby pools i can fill up for your pet to play in. If your pet is a swimmer i have a beautiful pet friendly lake within 5 miles of my home and love to take them to swim. I also have several dog parks close by. When transporting your pet i have pet seatbelts for your pet’s safety. My home is extremely clean inside and out. Most importantly I will always have my eyes on your pet. They will not be left alone.

“We love Destiny!! She is so sweet with our little puppy! Walks her every day we need, plays with, and teaches her tricks as well! Our pup adores her and is so comfortable around her, we are so glad we have someone so amazing and trustworthy!! Thank you for all you do Destiny! Minnie is our little baby and we love that you love her too!❤️”

About: Born and raised dog lover. Have been dog sitting for nearly 15 years. I would love to have 10 dogs of my own but that's a bit much so I do this instead. It keeps me busy and happy. I have 2 children. Ages 3 and 15. They absolutely love dogs and love playing with them. I look forward to caring for your pup and I promise your pup will be loved and cared for and come home happy. I currently work remotely from home so I am available all day to take care of and cuddle your fur babies. I can be available anytime that works best for your pup. I live near a large park with a walking trail. I take walks through it daily but it's definitely more enjoyable when I'm walking with a pup.

About: I’ve always had pets as a child and now as an adult. I have 1 doggy and 3 cats all super friendly. I love being around animals. I’m currently not working and looking to get out of the house and around animals. I am very flexible and have a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs and cats. My house does not have a fenced in yard so my little puppy and I go on many walks. There is also a park nearby.
