“Lori and Will are fantastic! We are doing construction in our house and needed to give fearful Sadie a nice place to get away from the people and noise for one of the crazier days. Sadie had already been to Lori and Will's 3 times (meet and greet, a walk with their dog Winnie, and one time to meet another dog who they were boarding). Lori and Will gave us plenty of time to acclimate, and the Doggy Daycare was a success! We're planning on boarding Sadie for several days, and this turned out to be a terrific test run. Lori and Will are patient and kind, have a great home, and are very flexible. Plus, they are walking distance from us! We couldn't be happier.”
“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.”
“Cristina has a big heart and a beautiful home and yard. My senior pup has a lot of separation anxiety and needs a lot of love and support. So, I am always very anxious when I leave her with someone new. Cristina's warmth, kindness, and professionalism immediately put me at ease. My little Yoshi was well taken care of and I will definitely be asking Cristina to take care of her again. I highly recommend her!”
“Bob, so thankful for your attentiveness, kindness, and care to our puppies. I appreciate your flexibility and always going the extra mile. So glad you were there for us on our expected and unexpected trips to Illinois!”
“I highly recommend Corrine for your pet sitting needs. She is a warm and friendly pet sitter who took excellent care of my pets. I am so happy that I found Corrine because she loves and cares animals. She exclusively dedicated her time to my pet without taking in other dogs at the same time. She sent me daily photos of show she took my pets to the park and was very kind to them. Again, I highly recommend Corrine for any pet sitting needs. Thank you!”
“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.”

“Melina was great with day care for our little Guy! Our pitty is 2 months old, and we were anxious about leaving him. Melina was amazing about updates, sending pictures, and letting us know if he seemed a little off. She cuddled and play with him like he was her own pup! He was very well taken care of. Will definitely be booking again :)”
“I had a last minute request and was really worried about my Jax. This wonderful couple took care of my baby and he was very happy to spend a day with them. I am very thankful to have met this family and will definitely consider their help in the future.”
“We could not ask for a better first experience. Tanya took excellent care of our new puppy. From potty breaks to play times she was there with him sending updates and pics. We were able to enjoy our night knowing he was in good hands. Thanks again.”
“This is the first time we’ve had someone (who is not our family) watch our dog. I was very nervous especially be in Poppy is young - she’s just a year old. Noor watched Poppy for a day. Noor was so patient with her - poppy was initially apprehensive to go in their house, but Noor took her time to ensure Poppy was comfortable. Noor asked questions about feeding, walks, general behavior & preferences. this put me at ease knowing she was thinking these. We did this trial daycare in preparation for a longer stay for Poppy later this year. Noor was also very communicative with texts and also a video! We were happy with the care poppy received and plan to book with Noor again!”
“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.”
“Great place to leave your special pup to be spoiled and care after. He loved being able to play with the other dogs. It was great that he never had to be crated. I would highly recommend.”
“My dog Hippie gets so excited when he gets to see David and his furry friends. David has a big yard for the dogs to run around. He took care of Hippie very well, I can always trust and rely on David for a fun and safe stay for my doggy.”

Diana was responsive and accommodated my schedule last minute. Loki seemed well cared for and happy when I picked him up. I know he had a good time, because he was calm and tired when he got home. I will definitely go back and recommend Diana for doggy day care.

So, I am always very anxious when I leave her with someone new. Cristina's warmth, kindness, and professionalism immediately put me at ease.
