Doggy Day Care Crystal Lake

“Patricia was awesome! She was so loving and caring to our “Nervous Nellie”, Cinder, a cocker spaniel with issues. Patricia communicated throughout the day with messages and pics. It was a wonderful experience and we would certainly give her 6 stars if we could.”

“Shelisha is such a kind person! We felt very safe leaving our 5 lb Shih Tzu with her while we went to a Detroit Tigers game. Her communication is excellent. She even sent us pictures of our Ruby while we were away. Very pleased!”

“Susan was great with Nash. She sent frequent updates and was really good with communicating. Would 100% recommend her to take care of your fur baby.”

“Ms. Vely rocks! This was Coco's first full Day with Ms. Vely, so when she took command right away I was glad for that since she was a fresh face for my Coco to get used to over a long period of time. She is so wonderful and kind with doggies, I had no doubt she'd get my boy out of his shell. She updated us with photos and short videos throughout her time with Coco to show our little man was doing just awesome..... And the tongue hanging out the side of his mouth with a big toothy grin showed that she sure did get him out of his shell! Coco was even a gentleman doggie and made sure to follow her inside after every jaunt outside! Glad to have found Ms. Vely and glad to have her watch him again! You cannot go wrong with Ms. Vely!”

About: I’m a responsible, loving, and attentive pet caretaker who treats every animal like my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet cuddle time, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. With experience and genuine love for animals, I’m committed to giving them the attention and affection they deserve while you're away. I also provide you with updates through texts with pictures! I am a stay at home mom with a furbaby of our own, and I have complete open availability for overnight stays and play dates! "We have a large fenced in backyard that offers plenty of space for play and relaxation, nestled in a quiet and peaceful cul-de-sac. Our friendly 2 yr old Golden Retriever, Lucy, loves to play fetch and welcomes new friends with a wagging tail. Pets are treated like family in our home-they're welcome on our oversized sectional. Fresh water is always available, along with treats (with your permission), and a variety of toys to keep them entertained and happy

“Being our first time little our little pups for the first time, we were quite nervous and worried about leaving them for the day in a new environment. We were very quickly put as easy with Karla's amazing, calm and caring nature and obvious genuine love of animals. Our dogs took to her straight away and not only were ok for the day, but had an associate blast with Karla and her little Coco. She sent us updates, photos and videos that made us feel beyond at ease, but so happy that our little ones were having a great time! ☺️ We are delighted to have Karla as an amazing person to look after our pooches at times we need to be away in the future as we know they will have the best care and it actually be an enjoyable, fun adventure for them! Cannot recommend and thank Karla enough for her brilliant care and genuine love and gift she has for animals ☺️?”

“Maria took excellent care of Archie while dog sitting at her home. She provided regular updates, which gave me peace of mind, and it was clear Archie was not only happy during his stay but also excited to go back the next day! I'm very pleased with her service and will definitely be booking her again to look after Archie.”

“Megan is an amazing caregiver! She provided a safe, fun environment, and my dog was clearly excited to see her every day. Megan has a lovely home and a sweet and friendly family. She was also endlessly flexible and accommodating to my weird schedule. I would absolutely go to her again anytime I have the dog with me in the area. Thank you, Megan!”

“Angelica and Jose were so sweet to Cooper. She sent lots of photos and videos and even gave him a bandana, a gift bag and a thank you card. Amazing service and their home was spotless!”

Jeanna P.

“She was wonderful, our kids were in from AZ over V-day wk & weekend, she agreed to take Copper at last minute and then added a day to our original request...she provided pics and videos of Coppers , nap time, morning walks, evening walks, it was sweet and it made me feel good to leave my Copper. Also as we know time isn't always on our side , with parks , attractions & restaurants traffic...we were late over an hour after 11p -due to various time allocated, nothing turned out right in terms of timing. And she was wonderful, plus it was pouring when we picked up Copper and she brought him right out to our vehicle. So, Estefany went over and beyond! I would highly recommend her. Thank you Estefany The Bouchard's appreciate you! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”

About: Firstly, I will listen to your pet's needs that you have, and follow them accordingly. Secondly, I will play with your babies and pay attention to them, with love and affection. I will walk with them around the Lake's, and engage them, by talking to them, so that they know they are loved by me. Thirdly, I do like to play catch and engage them in different games, so their time away from you will fly by for them. Lastly, I am not trained in the Heimlich for dogs, nor CPR, but I have had to do the Heimlich on my own dog, whom was choking on food, to save her life. I look forward to playing with your babies. Thank you so very much.

“Thank you so much for such attentiveness on my fur babies, Winston and Bella. Also, appreciate the updates and all the pictures and/or videos!”

“Zona had a wonderful time playing with her dog. Would definitely use her again.”

Eileen S.

“Ms. Maria was a Wonderful sitter for our 2 dogs. She loved them and let them use her house as their own. She sent so many pics and videos throughout the day. When our pup didn't want to eat, Ms. Maria fed her by hand so she would! 🩷 She went above and beyond and our pups were so happy to see her each day!!!”

About: I am almost done with my CVA, which has given me hands-on experience with animal care and a strong understanding of animal behavior, basic health needs, and how to recognize when a pet may be stressed, uncomfortable, or need extra attention. I’m very attentive to routines like feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific care instructions you have for your pet. I also volunteered at a horse rescue for 6 years, which has helped me become even more patient and comfortable working with animals that all have different personalities and needs. Whether your pet is a playful puppy who needs consistency and extra energy or an older pet who needs a gentler approach, I’m confident in providing calm, dependable care and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I currently attend CVA school Monday through Thursday from 6-10 PM, and because it’s a veterinary program, I’m able to bring new animals with me every day if that’s something an owner is comfortable with. This allows me to spend even more time with your pet and keep them with me throughout the day. Outside of school, I’m available the rest of the day and can realistically spend most, if not all, of my time with your pet. I also care for my own animals every day, including my dogs, cat, and reptiles—a snake, bearded dragon, turtle, and leopard gecko—so feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, cleaning cages, and keeping their spaces clean are all part of my normal routine. My entire day is basically centered around animals between school and caring for my own pets, so pet sitting fits very naturally into my life. I care for pets with a lot of attention, and fun! I usually feed my pets at the same time every day and follow a schedule, but I keep it flexible so it works for each pet’s needs. I give dry food and simple medications like NexGard but, I also have experience handling special diets and other medications.     Playtime happens whenever pets seem bored or want to go outside. I have lots of toys, treats, and fun activities inside, and I enjoy running with dogs outside or taking them on car rides. I also do some basic training for fun, though I’m not a professional trainer.   I keep spaces clean and comfortable, cages and tanks are cleaned regularly, puppy pads are replaced, and everything is wiped down with disinfectant as needed. Pets have their own quiet areas, toys, and treats to feel calm and safe. I’m very observant of their behavior, so I can notice when something feels off.    Pets aren’t left alone for long, except when I’m at school for a few hours. I’m used to managing multiple pets at once by keeping a close eye on everyone and giving each animal their own space when needed. My home is very clean, and I constantly sweep, mop, and vacuum.    Overall, I make sure pets are happy, safe, and comfortable, and I treat them as part of my family giving lots of love, attention, and care every day.

“I've been using Angie for a while now and couldn't be happier with the care she provides. She regularly sends photo updates, ensuring I always know how my puppy is doing. Communication is quick and efficient, and she's incredibly friendly and approachable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
