Doggy Day Care Elgin

About: Hi, My name is Mia. I have about ten years of experience working with animals from animal shelters to vet clinics. I have experience fostering over fifty pets, including bottle babies and pets with special needs. I currently work as a legal assistant. M-F 10:00-5:00. PLEASE ENSURE YOU BOOK WITH ENOUGH TIME FOR A MEET & GREET TO BE SCHEDULED PRIOR TO MY FIRST VISIT. This is for my safety and the safety of your pets. I am always open to negotiation, but please keep in mind this helps pay my bills. I do have my own dog, but if your dog needs to stay overnight in my home, they will be kept separate. I am very responsible and would love to meet you and your fur babies. If you have any questions, please ask me :) Can’t wait to meet you. I work 10-5, but I work from home. Visits before and after are easy when in Elgin or nearby. If I pet sit at home, I will keep separate from my pet. It depends on what is needed, per the pets needs. I am happy to stop by, clean up, let them out and feed during visits.

“Raquel was the perfect pet sitter! She was very friendly and accommodating. I received plenty of photo and video updates during my puppy’s stay and she looked like she was having a great time. I especially appreciated her sending many pictures of her interacting with my puppy, I know she received plenty of attention during her stay. I would highly recommend this pet sitter!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both owning my own dogs and providing boarding for other families’ pets. Caring for dogs has been a meaningful part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, daily walks, playtime, crate routines, basic grooming, administering oral medication, and caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. Because I care for only one to three dogs at a time, I can provide personalized attention in a calm, low-stress environment. My home has a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and relax under close supervision. I understand that every owner wants to know their pet is happy and safe. That’s why I provide regular photo and video updates throughout each stay and follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. My goal is to give every dog a safe, loving, and comfortable experience while giving their family complete peace of mind. Welcome! I’m a dedicated dog lover who provides a safe, comfortable, and loving home where your dog will be treated like family. I live in a single-family home with a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy fresh air in a secure environment. Because I spend most of my time at home, your dog will receive lots of attention, supervision, companionship, and affection throughout the day. I intentionally accept only one to three dogs at a time so every guest receives personalized care instead of being part of a large group. I understand that every dog has different needs. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, a senior dog, or requires medication, I’ll carefully follow your instructions and maintain their regular routine. My goal is to make your dog feel relaxed, happy, and loved while you’re away. You’ll never have to wonder how your dog is doing. I’ll send multiple photo and video updates every day so you can enjoy your trip with complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is having a wonderful time. For your convenience, I also offer pick-up and drop-off services. I speak both English and Mandarin Chinese, making communication easy for both English-speaking and Chinese-speaking families. Your dog’s safety always comes first. I provide a clean, calm, smoke-free, pet-friendly home where every dog is cared for with patience, kindness, and respect. I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their families, and I look forward to welcoming your furry friend into my home. Thank you for considering me. I can’t wait to meet you and your beloved companion! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. I live in a clean, smoke-free single-family home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play under my supervision. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I make sure they have a secure, comfortable indoor space to rest and relax. I only accept a small number of dogs at a time so I can provide each pet with plenty of individual attention and closely monitor their behavior. I carefully follow each owner’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any special care requests to help pets feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine. Before introducing dogs to one another, I consider their personalities and comfort levels to ensure a safe and positive experience. If needed, I can keep dogs separated to reduce stress and provide one-on-one care. Throughout your pet’s stay, I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you always know how they’re doing. If I notice any changes in your pet’s behavior or health, I’ll contact you immediately and follow your instructions. If an emergency ever occurs, I will seek veterinary care right away and keep you informed every step of the way. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, low-stress environment where every pet feels at home and every owner feels confident and reassured.

About: We both grew up with dogs of various sizes and love all animals. We have over 13 years of experience with caring for our own dogs, one of which has allergies and anxiety and requires routine medications. We will treat and love your dog as our own! Because of my WFH schedule, I have lots of flexibility to provide potty breaks, play with, and walk your pup throughout the day! I will stick to their routine and provide pictures and updates during their stay. We have a spacious home with a fenced backyard and a sweet 8 year-old dog, Rylee, who loves other dogs. We have used Rover for over four years, so we understand how important it is to find a sitter you can trust to love and care for your fur baby like you do. We are responsible pet parents who prioritize their comfort, safety, and needs. **Please note: we require a meet and greet prior to all new client bookings to ensure the dogs get along and to answer any questions you may have.

About: I’ve cared for, and have had dogs since I was a child, which has since grown into a huge love and passion for every canine! I’ve had multiple breeds and ages ranging from pups to seniors. I work full time however our home schedule can be flexible! I do have the ability to work from home at times. Our animals receive abundant amounts of attention and 1:1 time with countless hours of outside play! We have 3 older children that will help fulfill any high energy needs or give unending snuggles 💗 I have a fenced yard and 3 small dogs of my own to keep your baby company! I have a room for crates to keep your pup at nights or if we have to run errands so your pup and ours is safe! We have a basket of toys for entertainment.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid but have been a dog owner for over 15 years. I understand that all pets have their own needs and behaviors and I have dedicated myself to caring for others pets the same way as my own: with patience, understanding, love and lots of belly rubs and pets. I would love to help you and care for your pet(s)! Let’s chat about your pet(s) needs and what makes their tail wag! 😊 **Note: My beloved husky Cosmo passed in July 2026 - I currently do not have any pets in the home. ** I work from home every day so that way your pups will not be alone and they will have plenty of attention, play time and care! I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood. My neighborhood is safe for walks, we even have walking trails and our own neighborhood dog park!

“Amanda was wonderfully welcoming and really made sure my pup was happy and settled in for daycare. I really appreciated her thoughtful approach to introducing the dogs to make sure everyone was set up for success. Thank you!!”

“Kristen was incredibly communicative from the very beginning. She took the time to do a meet & greet the day before so Preta could get to know her and her family and have a chance to sniff around and become familiar with their home. On the day she watched Preta, she was very attentive, especially when my little girl was feeling anxious, and she shared photos and updates to reassure me that she was doing well. I truly appreciate Kristen’s care, patience, and willingness to follow all of my instructions. She was very thoughtful and attentive throughout the entire experience. I would absolutely trust Kristen with my baby again in the future. ❤️”

“We had the BEST experience with Daniela and her family! 🥰 She sent us plenty of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We really appreciated the friendly vibes, great communication, and most of all, how loved and well cared for our baby was. ❤️ Definitely the best experience we’ve had on Rover! We would absolutely book with Daniela again! 🐾✨”

“I left my Australian Shepard with Isabelle for daycare for two days, as I was dropping him off for the second day he was so excited to see Isabelle which I knew it meant he was in good hands. Isabelle was always responsive and gave me updates while he was with her. She also took him along for their daily walk which I appreciated. Thank you again Isabelle!”

About: I'm a veterinary technician, I have 20 yrs experience in taking care of dogs and cats. I am CPR certified and I can administer medications if needed. Besides my medical background as a animal lover, I can offer great companionship to your best friend while your gone. I currently have a 7 month old Australian shepherd who loves to play and can also offer friendship. I've been taking care of my friends and family's pets while they go on vacation since I was 19 yrs old. I'm confident in my ability to take care of dogs. I'm currently not working and staying home with our kids and animals. I walk our dog in the morning then hang out the rest of the day, my kids play with our dog. I live on 5 acres but we have fenced off an area behind our house for our dog and goats. I have a plastic kid pool to help them stay cool in the summer. I typically feed my pets twice a day and a treat mid-day. My house can get pretty loud with my kids yell and screaming when then play. My kids are 10 yr (son) and 9 yrs(daughter) old, I have a husband who loves to play with the kids and dog, it can get a little crazy at our house. I also have a 7 month old mini Australian shepherd, she is a shy girl at first but then gets crazy when she decides she likes you. I have 5 cats some like dogs and some tolerate them and just judge. I also have 2 goats in the backyard, they are very nice but will give a warning if something happens that they don't like. All my pets have vaccines and have been dewormed.

About: Hi, my name is Amber. I have had large and small dogs my entire life. A house just isn’t a home without one. Currently I have a black lab mix. Her name is Bella and she is the sweetest girl! She loves everyone and every dog. I have a small yard to play and a quiet neighborhood for walks. I work from home, so your furry friend will have very little time alone. This also helps with puppies that need a little extra help potty training. These are just a few reasons why I am a great option for you and your pups, an opportunity to enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently working from home with no foreseeable future of going back in office. I have down times throughout the day giving me opportunities to interact with my pets and any pets in my care. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups to keep yours entertained. The dogs all have free rein of the house but I can also create your pup if needed.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have cared for over five dogs of different sizes, breeds, and ages with my family. From playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, I understand how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs and personality. I love spending time playing, walking, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. Whether it’s belly rubs, outdoor play, or quiet company, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and happy! Besides dogs, I love all animals! I have had bunnies and birds before and know how to take care of them! I work remotely full-time, which which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout their stay. My daily routine is flexible, so I’m able to accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, cuddle time, medication routines, and regular check-ins. I like to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. Whether they need active play, quiet company, extra patience, or a calm space to relax, I do my best to adjust my day around their comfort and needs! I live in a spacious apartment that offers plenty of room for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well supervised! I got my two friendly American Shorthair cats at home, so I’m very mindful about introductions, boundaries, and each pet’s comfort level. I always take time to understand how each pet does around other animals! If a pet needs their own space, quiet time, or a slower introduction, I make sure they have a calm area where they can relax. I keep the environment clean, organized, and peaceful so every pet feels cared for during their stay!

“Needed a last minute day care for Ace my doberman, and was greatful to Mina and Anthony for being available. They kept me updated throughout the day with pics and reports, and had Ace ready to go when picked up. Definitely hope to use them again.”

“I was very happy and satisfied with the service I received from Alonso and his wife Eva. They treated my dog Charlie with compassion and affection and truly cared for him like he was part of their family. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Charlie was in such kind and attentive hands. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you both so much! If I ever need doggie daycare again, I will definitely use your services.”

About: As your trusted pet sitter, I prioritize your furry family members' well being. Offering personalized care and companionship, I ensure a stress free experience for your pets in the comfort of their own home or my own! With a keen eye for detail, I handle feeding, playtime, and any special needs, create a safe and loving environment for your pets when you can't be there. I have had many pets of my own throughout my childhood. In between school and work I have provided care for many different furry families, caring for them as I would want someone to do the same for my own fur baby. I am currently an online student so my schedule is very open, I like to utilize my time helping others that have busy schedules or simply need a little extra help. Open communication with pet parents is key, providing regular updates, making sure to know all the requirements/ routines and ensuring peace of mind while you're away are my top priority. At my home I have a huge patio and also dog park located within my apartment complex.

“Oliver had a wonderful day with Santhini. We don’t leave him often but when we do we will always remember to contact Santhini first. I appreciate the great communication and flexibility. Very kind and accommodating”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, iguanas, fish, etc both own and others throughout our entire adult life. Mostly per friends or family requests but still, so I have a pretty decent understanding about different animal personalities and how to deal with them. I currently work from home. So I will always keep an eye on your special family member while you relax knowing someone is keeping an eye on them. I have a decent sized fenced backyard for your furry friends to explore and run around. The 💩 is picked up as soon as they go potty, to ensure we keep everything as hygienic as possible. There's also a 2 mile jogging track in the neighborhood which I visit every day when taking Yoshi (our dog) for a walk or bike ride. Both of my pets are indoor, so health risks are kept to the minimum.

About: I am CVA certified, I worked as a vet tech and kennel tech, and have lived with many different animals my whole life. Working at the animal hospital has given me the opportunity to work with and understand animals of all different ages and backgrounds. My husband and I are currently working full time at home so we have plenty of time to watch, walk and play with your fur babies! My husband and I live in a 4 bedroom house with a spacious back yard, we have a designated dog area where the dogs can hangout and play with toys as well as a designated dog room for dogs who value their alone time and space!
