Doggy Day Care in Des Plaines

“When you drop your doggy off you can tell that Patricia is someone who truly loves dogs. She always has playmates which is perfect for my puppy to socialize and he always comes home to me happy and tired! Definetely recommend she is very flexible with time as well.”

“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.”

“Lori is great with my puppy! She is attentive to dogs in her care & I have peace of mind knowing Zoe is there. Their dog Winnie is such a great playmate also!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Jacob is an excellent dog sitter! He is kind, patient and courteous. You can tell he really likes animals. He sent us updates and pictures of our dogs and looked after them with much care. He is a lifesaver and we highly recommend him!”

“Paula is phenomenal. My dog Molly had a blast with her. Molly is very dog selective but got along with Choclo very well. Molly also loved Paula and her mom. I got many videos and photos throughout the day and updated on how everyone is getting along. We will 100% be returning to hang out with Paula and Choclo.”

“Cynthia did a great job with my puppy.”

“We were so blessed that Bob was not only available on a Saturday at short notice, but willing to watch our three fur babies, one them elderly and in need of medication! We are from out of state, and had to bring the dogs with us. Saturday required us to be a part of an all-day 50th anniversary celebration, so the dogs needed to be attended to for 10 hours. Bob was incredibly gracious, caring, and attentive to details about our furbies; especially our sweet Maddie, who is blind and requires medication three times a day. What a gift to us to not have to worry about them! We received updates throughout the evening, and when we returned to pick them up, all was well. The pups were happy and had a good time. Bob, we will look for you again if we are ever in Chicago with our dogs. I cannot express how grateful we are to have found you!”

“Hector haa taken care of my pups in day care and weekends, he is great dog care along with Bruno the bernedoodle, they both care for the visiting dogs, and make sure they are always taken care off. The have lots of space to play around or chill. He cares very much for Bruno , they are both great hosts.”

“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.”

“Sara has watched my dogs multiple times. For daycare and boarding!!! She treats them as if they are her own!!! They love her!!! I definitely recommend her for your pets needs!!!!!”

“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!”

“Leah was a great sitter for our puppy. Responsive, prompt and easy to work with. Will be using her services again in the future!”

“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.”

“Great dog sitter! Anna was easy to communicate with and sent us tons of photos. Highly recommend!”

Here’s how I approach pet care, depending on whether it’s in my home or my client’s home: Caring for Pets in My Home 1. Safe and Pet-Friendly Environment: - I ensure my home is secure, clean, and free from hazards (e.g., no toxic plants, exposed wires, or small objects). - Create designated spaces for feeding, resting, and playing. - Back yard is fenced and secured, quite peaceful neighborhood. 2. Routine and Structure: - Follow the pet’s regular schedule for feeding, exercise, and sleep to provide consistency. - Offer enrichment activities like toys, puzzle feeders, and interactive playtime. 3. Socialization and Supervision: - Supervise interactions with other pets (if applicable) to ensure positive experiences. - Provide plenty of one-on-one attention and affection to make them feel at home. 4. Health and Hygiene: - Keep food and water bowls clean and sanitized. - Regularly groom pets and clean any accidents promptly. Caring for Pets in a Client’s Home 1. Respecting Their Space: - Adhere to specific instructions about where pets are allowed. - Keep the home tidy and secure at all times. 2. Personalized Care: - Follow detailed feeding, walking, and medication instructions provided by the client. - Use the pet’s usual toys, bedding, and routines to minimize stress. 3. Daily Updates: - Send photos or messages to reassure the owner that their pet is happy and well cared for. 4. **Additional Services:** - Watering plants, collecting mail, and light home upkeep to keep the house in order. **Key Priorities in Both Settings** - Safety First: Always keep an eye out for hazards or signs of illness. - Comfort and Love: Treat every pet as if they were my own, offering patience, kindness, and care. - Flexibility: Adapt to each pet’s unique needs and personality for a stress-free experience. This flexible approach ensures pets feel safe, happy, and loved, whether in my care at home or in their own familiar environment.
