Top rated Des Plaines doggy day care sitters
“Corey and Robert are the best! They took my booking within less than 48 hours of initially booking. They were amazing with working with me and my changing schedule. They took great care of my dogs and spoiled them like they were their own. No doubt my girls had a great relaxing day, and I will definitely be reaching back out to them in the future.”
“Lori, Wil and Winnie were great at keeping Lucy company while I attended an event. Lucy sometimes needs help adjusting to new spaces so I was relieved when I saw Lori was able to get her settled on the couch. Lori even went to the extent of spoon-feeding Lucy to help her eat dinner since she was snubbing her dinner. Lori, Wil and Winnie were amazing and looking forward to more bookings with them!”
About: Our family of 3 is ready to host your furry companion to play and have a good time with our 6 years old labradoodle. I’ve cared for dogs for the past 20 years, mainly to our own, friends and family. Now I have more time and can spend my time caring for people’s unconditional best friends. My goal is to meet new play friends for our own Bear. I don’t do cages nor restrictions in the house, I own a large property with plenty of space to play inside and outside. I have a flexible work schedule, I work from home and I am able to accommodate depending on customer needs. Weekends are for family time and furry friends, love to spend time outdoors. I have a 1/2 acres yard, great place for the dogs to play supervised. Inside the house, dogs are free to enjoy and play around. I don’t do cages unless customer requests.
“Christina, Nash, and the whole family were great hosts for Charlie! Christina provided a mid day update along with pictures and carved out time in her day for a 2-mile walk with the dogs. They all were very welcoming and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Christina and hope we will be back periodically for more visits.”
“Janessa was absolutely amazing! Her communication to understand my dog prior made me feel so comfortable, and the attentiveness/updates while Berkeley was at her home made me feel so reassured and trusting. Janessa’s home is the perfect place for your doggo to spend time at - I absolutely recommend you choose Janessa for your fur-paninis’ needs!!”
“D’Artagnan is a great provider for our boy and made sure to send us updates every once in a while to let us know he was doing alright. Reassuring and understood things our boy couldn’t eat or do. Overall very satisfied and believe our boy had a great time.”

I live in a safe neighborhood, providing an excellent setting for enjoyable and secure dog walks.
“If you need training sessions or boarding for your furry loved ones- look no further!! Yesterday we had our first training session with Bob and I am blown away! My big girl, Zya, is extremely dog reactive and within the first hour she was able to calmly be around other dogs for the first time in years!! I had tears in my eyes. His yard is amazing and his home is so welcoming that if I ever need to board my two for a few days I will definitely be booking him for that too. Bob, thank you so much and I am so looking forward to learning more from you.”
About: We're a family of five who adore pets of all kinds! We had a wonderful dog named Peace for about six years and plenty of experience petsitting for friends and relatives. Due to travel commitments, we currently have no pets-- which gives us plenty of time to care for yours. I work on a hybrid schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility and allows me to be home for the majority of the day. My daughter is currently enrolled in online high school, so she has plenty of time to walk, care for, and play with your pets! We have a large fenced yard and are able to crate your pets if provided. We'll take dogs for walks a minimum of twice a day and let them roam in the yard as needed.
“Eileen is wonderful! Our dog requires special attention due to a recent surgery. I was hesitant on leaving him with anyone. She was great with the special needs he required. She was attentive to him and kept us posted on his daily stay with her. She included pictures as well. Will be using Eileen again. Hoping that our pooch is better with his surgery at that time.”
“It was Ari’s first time “out” since we adopted him 2 months ago, plus he is definitely a leash reactive dog. Do needles to say - I worried a lot. Diana was wonderful. Everything was great. She texted me and sent a video, she comforted Ari when he was missing me and I could see that he developed a trust. I am really grateful and would definitely use Diana’s services again.”
“Helen is absolutely wonderful! Our two dogs had such a great time at her house. She was responsive and so attentive to the needs of our pets. We can’t wait to take the girls to her again soon!”
“Honorata is amazing! Bandit had a blast playing with other dogs, I got updates, pictures and videos during the stay, and I can tell Bandit had the best time of his life over the weekend. Highly Recommend!”

“Cristina is an amazing dog sitter. We have two doodles, an 11 year old labradoodle and a 2 year old Berne doodle and everytime we go on vacation we rely on Cristina to help us care for our two pups.
