Doggy Day Care in Crystal Lake

“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!”

“Shalyn and Joe were really flexible and worked us into their schedule to help us out when we needed care for our girls. Super helpful and appreciate them for that. Our girls always love their time at their place, and their shepherd gets along great with Lady and Jazzi. The kids love our dogs and shower them with affection. We are going to miss having such great sitters since we are moving. If anyone needs A++ service and love for your pooches for a great price, these are your people!”

“Maple absolutely loves staying with Carolyn. Coco ( a precious little Cockapoo) being there was a real bonus. They took several walks, and the two happy dogs played together all afternoon. Carolyn sent numerous pictures during Maple's stay with her. Thank you Carolyn we will definitely see you again!”

About: I have a half acre of fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. I’ve had pets in my family my whole life: always dogs, a few cats over the years, a house rabbit, hamsters, ducks, fish, lizards, turtles - so many lovely creatures! I’ve worked with rescues and shelters and have taken care of elderly dogs at the end of their lifespan administering medications orally, injections, and topically. For my other job I do freelance graphic design from home and make my own schedule, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. When pet sitting at my home your pet will have my company throughout the day. I offer check ins, feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after all pets and livestock at their home. I board dogs and caged pets overnight or for multiple days at my home where dogs have access to a fenced yard at any time of the day, full time supervision, and cozy accommodations.

“Noah is shy boy, but he was very happy with June. She is very responsive and sends lots of pictures to keep us updated. We definitely will book again :)”

“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.”

“Jill is awesome! So down to earth and just the sweetest lady you’ll meet! Was very accommodating last minute for me so I could make it to my plans and my dogs felt right at home at her house! Would recommend her to anyone!!”

I am semi - retired and work from home and love the camaraderi and joyfulness they bring to my life.....I am the proud NONA of 6 grandchildren and 6 Grand Pups - There is no doubt your furry family member will be loved and you can have peace of mind knowing that!! I have over 40 years expeience in the corporate world and retired.

I have a fully fenced yard and a dog run - I live in a quiet dog friendly neighborhood directly across from a park -

“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: Have had dogs my whole life and we are active foster parents for a local animal shelter where we specialize in seniors and the friends who are having a rough time adjusting to shelter life. I am able to be home 24/7 to care for your pet. Love to walk and spend time outdoors and will be able to follow any schedule to keep your dog comfortable and spoiled. We do not have a fenced yard so all dogs will be taken out on a leash. Great communication from owners will let us know if there are any other things to watch out for.

About: I am comfortable walking and taking care of any size dog. I have over 10 years of experience taking care of wide range of breeds from Pittbulls to Labradors. I am in general an animal lover. I am available for walking, boarding, sitting and house visits. I love taking care of animals. I am available on weekdays, weekends and holidays. I am very flexible and can accommodate whatever you may need. I have a fenced in yard for the pups to play in and enjoy. I also love taking dogs on walks whenever the weather permits.

About: I would be extremely responsible & caring with any dog or cat. Like humans, pets all have their own personalities & needs. I am adaptable to this & love creating a lasting bond. I am recently retired in great health with no obligations other then the hope I can take care of your dog and cat when needed. I can adapt to your dog or cat’s needs and how it relates to my home or yours. If my client’s home I would show great respect as to the owner’s wishes & expectations.

About: I've often thought about how best to care for my pets when I go out of town. I would want them to be with someone who is loving and makes them feel as if they were with their owner. I would treat your pet the same way I treat mine, with love, care, and attention they need and deserve. We have a fenced yard, neighborhood sidewalks, and nearby walking. I'm super active and into health and fitness. I do crossfit during the week. "A dog is this only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself" I’m currently a stay at home mom to an 2yo, 8yo, and a 6mo puppy. I’ve grew up with dogs in my household. My schedule is pretty much open from 10am- 5pm. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My dog is trained to be out of the cage while I’m gone. I am more then happy to crate your fur baby while I leave my house to do daily errands.

“She was wonderful with my dog!”

Whether your pup needs extra patience, a specific routine, or just a cozy companion, I’m always happy to accommodate 🙂 I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule and have ample room for your dog to play. If you prefer to have your pup in their crate, please kindly let me know as I make my home, their home as well. I prioritize creating a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe, understood, and cared for.

About: UPDATE 6/20/23: Do you want to go out for the Fourth of July? We have decided to stay home, so if you need a sitter reach out soon! I will only watch one other dog at a time, so your dog will be with just my family & pets. Nervous dogs ok. We don't expect it to be super loud in our home since we're not very close to the fireworks. Have multiple dogs?Send me a message and let's chat about it! UPDATE 5/1/23: We are ready to welcome your dog to our home while you take your vacation! Any breed, any size, any special needs are fine. Your dog must be ok with our dog, cats and a 12 yo child. UPDATE 4/1/23: We have added a puppy to our family. I will be taking a break from Rover while we get our new pup trained and ready to have new friends visit. I work from home everyday but Thursday. Calm, relaxed home with fenced yard and nice neighborhood for walks. Our elderly dog sadly crossed the rainbow bridge, so right now we do not have a dog. We do have two cats, they will hide or not care - depending on your dog. We have no small children. We are not smokers. We will only watch one or two dogs at a time (three if they're all in the same family). We're committed to long-term dog sitting if that's what you're searching for. Contact me with any questions! I work from home and have a fairly open schedule. I can walk morning, noon and late afternoon with play on and off all day. I have a fenced yard for the pups that aren't fans of a leashed walk. I have a good sized home with dogs welcome everywhere. Fenced yard and lots of nice walking paths nearby. Naps on couches welcome. I currently have a 5mo. puppy and two cats. 5/1/23
