Doggy Day Care In Englewood

About: Hi! I’m Quirtina, a lifelong dog lover and dog mom to Biggie, my sweet 5-year-old Cockapoo. I grew up with two dogs, and Biggie is my second personal dog, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup in someone else’s care. I also regularly dog sit for friends, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m active and love long walks around Hyde Park, so I’m happy to help with exercise, playtime, cuddles, and keeping your dog’s routine consistent. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and administering medications. I’ll pay close attention to your instructions and your dog’s personality, and I’m always glad to send updates and photos for peace of mind. I’m a full time MBA student, so I have plenty of time to care for your pup! I am home most of the time during the day and evening. I live in a secured gated home, with a gated area for quick bathroom breaks outside of regular walks. Your pup will be in safe hands!

“We had an amazing experience with Bobby’s daycare! E took excellent care of him, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Bobby came back happy and well-exercised. We truly appreciated about her attention to detail and care. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and loving daycare for their dog!”

About: What sets me aside from other sitters is the love i have for animals. Since i was a little girl I've always loved being around animals they were and still are very therapeutic to me. I've had big dogs from Pitbull's, Dobermann, American bullies, all the way down to tiny dogs; yorkies, shitzu etc. even different kinds of cats you name it. As I've gotten older I've gained sooo much experience to the point I've had at home births with my dogs and cats all by myself; even home training my own animals as well. My goal here is to gain a work related reputation where i can truly start doing what i love and make a name for myself until i can become that super Veterinarian I've always dreamed of being. So far all i have is personal experience with dealing with animals at home and at my job(My residents animals). This would truly mean a lot if i can show off my skills and how genuine i am with animals and even people. Pet Care currently fits for me during the week days. I work doubles every Saturday and Sunday; whereas for school i do online Vet courses which is self pace. Which means i am free during the week Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm if communicated at least at least 30min-1hr in advanced i could stay later if needed. Although, I am a mother which means i can not do any services past 7pm nor any over night services. I also am located downtown Chicago but I am willing to travel!! One thing about me i will spoil your baby(s) haha; I am very hands on and affectionate with animals unless they require space lol. I have never been a crate animal person BUT i know every household is different and every animal requires different training. Again, animals bring a lot of joy to my heart; very therapeutic for me and if given the chance you wouldn't be disappointed i promise!.

“I was looking for daycare for my dog and am happy to have found Tamara! She’s great with communication and has been flexible which has been very helpful. And my dogs tail is always wagging when we walk up.”

“Ashley's kindness and consideration for my dog was a true blessing! This was our first visit with her but will definitely not be our last. Her professionalism only added to my overall decision to always book with her if possible!”

“My little boy was in wonderful hands at doggie daycare with Dwight. Dwight is fantastic with Navy! He picked Navy up right on schedule and had everything Navy needed — I only had to pack his food. Throughout the day, I received pictures and updates on how Navy was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. Dwight’s prices are very reasonable, and his calm spirit put me at ease from the very beginning. I definitely plan on using his services often!”

About: Hi! My name is Monica and I recently graduated from Indiana University. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I was in college, I fostered through local animal shelters, which gave me experience caring for animals with all different personalities, ages, and needs. I’m also currently a volunteer at the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago, where I help care for animals and support the shelter. I work from home, so I’m able to give pets a lot of attention throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone for long. My dad is also recently retired and home most of the time, so there’s always someone around to give extra attention, playtime, and care. I have a small Yorkie named Tucker and a cat named Penny. They’re both very friendly and used to being around other animals. Tucker is great at matching other dogs’ energy (whether they want to play or relax), and Penny is very calm and tends to mind her own business. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away! I recently graduated from Indiana University and am now back home in Chicago full-time. My dad is retired and home all day, and I spend most of my time at home too, so your pet will always have company and attention. I’m not super busy and genuinely love being around animals — it’s the perfect setup! I have a private, fully fenced yard and never let pets outside without supervision. My home is spacious, and pets are welcome to relax anywhere they’d like. I also have a 2-year-old, 4.5-pound Yorkie who mostly keeps to himself but is always up for a little playtime if your pet wants a buddy! I’m happy to crate your dog at night if you prefer, or they’re welcome to sleep with me — I’d love that too!

“Bola boarded my pup overnight and she was great. She's knowledgeable, loving and caring in her interaction with me and my fur buddy. We look forward to using her services again in the near future.”

About: I’ve cared for my sweet girl for about 10 years now. She’s changed over the years from a newly adopted young shelter dog to a senior dog and I’ve consistently modified how I care for her to meet her needs. I have boarded many family dogs too from tiny multi poms to larger sweet pits. I really feel at home with animals and treat every dog with patience and care like my own girl. I work from home, live across the street from a big park, and can offer plenty of walks, attention, and playtime. Please be sure to share If you’re dog requires supplements, medication, special feeding schedules/protocols, behavioral things I should be mindful of. I work from home Monday thru Friday. Typically up with my dog by 6. She gets a long walk in the am and after work. Plenty of walks in between work for potty breaks. Each day can look different though based on weather and overall energy level of your dog. I can adjust your dogs needs when it comes to feeding schedule, affection, attention, and stimulation. I vary my techniques based on your dog’s personality and what they need when it comes to affection, space and activity level. I am flexible!

About: I have extensive pet care experience that began in my childhood. Growing up, I was responsible for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small mammals. This early exposure taught me the essentials of animal care, from feeding and grooming to understanding their behaviors and health needs. Over the years, I have honed my skills in providing attentive and compassionate care, ensuring that each pet feels loved and well-tended. This lifelong passion has equipped me with the knowledge and empathy necessary to handle a wide range of pet care responsibilities confidently. I work from home and I am a home body except when I walk outdoors, run or bike! A walk is so much better with a dog I have plenty of space for dogs to run as I has a long hallway and a downstairs! I have parks 2 blocks down where I live and a dog area.

Pet parents can expect dependable communication, regular updates, and someone who genuinely treats their dogs like family. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine come first. A typical day includes structured walks, playtime, exercise, water breaks, feeding according to your instructions, and plenty of attention. I keep a calm and clean environment while making sure each dog gets the right balance of activity and rest based on their personality and needs. I’m especially comfortable with active and strong breeds, so dogs that need confidence, structure, and engagement are in good hands. Whether your pet needs a relaxed companion, exercise, or consistent care while you’re away, I aim to make the experience stress-free for both you and your dog. You’ll receive updates, photos, and quick responses throughout the stay so you always know how your dog is doing.

About: Kyle and Ben have been caring for dogs in our home for over fifteen years. We have experience administering medications, whether they be topical, ingested or intravenous. Our goal is to make sure you know your dog is safe and well cared for while you're out of town. We are very quick to respond to all phone calls, text messages and emails and will keep you posted with photos and updates on how your dog is doing while they are staying with us. We also provide flexible pick up and drop off hours for your convenience and can provide transportation if necessary. Kyle has several years of experience working in the pet care industry, starting with shelter work, moving onto a dog daycare/boarding facility and managing of two different dog and cat supply stores (one local, one corporate) in the last fifteen years. She is certified in dog and cat first aid and CPR by the American Red Cross and has experience administering topical, oral and intravenous medications. She has extensive experience handling senior and disabled animals, as well as dogs with behavioral issues. We have always loved dogs and owned dogs throughout our respective childhoods, but Kyle has gotten more hands on experience in the last fifteen years by dabbling in different fields of animal care. She worked as a kennel attendant at the local SPCA for a period of time, caring for homeless dogs, cats and rabbits. It was there that she learned proper care techniques and how to administer medications. She took these skills with her when she went to work first as a kennel attendant and then as the office manager of a small dog daycare and boarding facility. She spent the next seven years serving as store manager of two different natural dog and cat supply stores, where she helped pet owners provide their animals with healthy natural foods, treats and other supplies. She also organized many in store events to help highlight and raise funds for many local rescues and shelters. In 2020, Kyle completed school to become a dog groomer and has been grooming dogs in Hyde Park for the last several years. Both Kyle and Ben work mainly from home, or not far from home. Kyle works as a dog groomer and is able to bring your dog to work with her during the day to minimize any time your dog may spend without human supervision. We never allow anyone off leash on walks, and we do not utilize off leash dog parks for safety reasons. All of our pets are fully vaccinated. Feeding times are always supervised to prevent any potential food aggression. Toys and chews are put away when human supervision is unavailable to prevent resource guarding.

About: Hi, I’m Sheccid 👋🏼 As a proud dog mom to my Chi-Beagle, Lily, I know that every pup has a unique personality. Dogs have always been a central part of my life, and l've become great at reading their cues and adapting to their specific needs. I currently live in a relaxed home with my husband and Lily. I work from home, so I'll give your pup plenty of focused attention throughout the day. I'm also lucky to have a fenced-in yard, providing a safe and private space for your dog to play and stretch their legs. I can adapt to all types of temperaments- whether your dog is shy and needs a patient hand or is bold and high-energy. If they enjoy making new friends, Lily is available to join us on our walks for some extra socialization. I am dedicated to building a bond of trust with every dog I meet (and their owner) and look forward to caring for your furry friend! I work part-time from home, so Lily and I will have plenty of time to go on walks, play, and keep your pet company while you’re gone. Although Lily is friendly I never leave them unsupervised or alone for too long. I’m flexible with their needs and can crate or give them their own space if they’re nervous.

About: I've been with pets all throughout my life. I've taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, tortoises, parrots and fishes. I have a labrador Casper and a golden retriever, Remmy back home in Nepal, whom I miss every day. So I'm just looking for ways to spend more time with pets here. I work remotely as a software engineer, so my work schedule is flexible. I have lots of free time during the day, so I'm looking to walk dogs. In the past, I've walked dogs to the lake which is just 30 mins walk from home and I just chill at the lake with the dogs I'm taking care of, and also get some minor work done on my laptop. I live in a two bedroom apartment, so there's enough space for a pet. I usually walk dogs to the lake, which is just 30 mins walk from my place.

About: I give animals good eye contact, effective tone, pay attention to their physical capabilities, and show love, respect, and observe surroundings for danger while walking I am normally home early mornings and during the day. Some days I work events as an artist but I have a very flexible schedule. I make sure the floors are clear so that animals are free to roam. I don’t keep chemicals or certain plants out that would harm animals.

About: Im a stay at home mom and am able to be home all day, so dogs will never be left unattended. I have experience caring for dogs for 15 + years, I have cared for cats, Hampstead, snakes, guinea pigs, birth kittens, birds, etc. I will allow pets to sleep where they wish, and roam as they please, while keeping an eye on them to make sure they don't cause any trouble. Plus, I will give them lots of loving, attention, and treats! They will be treated as if they were my own and nothing less, including getting to sleep in the bed! (if you allow your pup to of course) I will follow your requested schedule for walking and feeding. I provide a minimum of 4 walks a day, but that can definitely be adjusted to your preferences/needs. There are 3 different parks on my block, that I will take the dogs to so they can run and play! All are fenced in. One is gravel, and the others is grass. All the dogs I take there have plenty of fun, and love to run around and play. If you have any specific questions or concerns, please contact me. I'm willing to handle all types of dogs, no matter breed or personality.
