Doggy Day Care in Galena

“We feel so fortunate to have found Jen for our little guy Max. Her reputation and reviews speak for themselves. It's so comforting to know Max is well cared for when we're gone.”

“Bella was great! Our fur babies had a phenomenal time. She sent us pictures to see what they were up to. I’m certain our dogs will sleep well tonight! And she was flexible with the pickup time. Bella was a true lifesaver. We look forward to having Bella watch the dogs again.”

“Paris was awesome she took Bear last minute for doggy daycare and I couldn’t be more happier with how his stay was. She updated me throughout the day which was great. Overall seemed like bear had a great day with her and her dogs while I’m working on his separation anxiety. Will def use again if needed and would recommend!! Thanks Paris!”

About: We’ve had dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats…..many pets we loved and cared for through the years. Although we don’t currently have pets of our own, we have lots of love & care to share. My husband and I are retired and have a flexible schedule to help your pet while you’re away. I can also do chicken and farm animal sitting/checking at your home and am able to care for pet birds in your home or ours. We have a large fenced country yard surrounded by farms and fields with lots of room to run. We can also leash walk your dog if preferred.

“Ann was very sweet and patient to my little rescue pup who has trust issues with new people. Within a short time, he was very comfortable and happy staying with her. She took great care of him!”

“Jill was absolutely wonderful with our dog. She was okay with us booking last minute and was extremely flexible with timing. Bruno came home so tired out from playing in their awesome backyard.”

About: I’ve always been the “pet sitter” it started when I was 13 walking to my neighbors taking care of their cats, dog, reptiles & birds while they would leave for vacation. I’ve always loved animals of all sizes & species. I’ve always had pets from cats & dogs to chickens & Guinea pigs. Animals are apart of my daily life already at home& I always love to meet new fur babies. I typically feed my own animals twice a day & let my dog out at least every 2-4 hours depending on his body language & scoop my cats litter every other day. The same expectation would be upheld at my client’s residence. I personally have to walk my dog where I live so walking or fenced in yard is no big deal. I have three pets of my own 1 Dog & 2 cats they’re all on a daily routine that never changes even with travel. Fitting other pets into my day makes it that much better for me I’m doing what I love on a flexible schedule. I love cuddling with pets if they allow , holding or picking them up , feeding them treats and sun bathing now that it’s almost summer. I always encourage enrichment for all pets so if toys are available I will take the time to play with them & clean their puppy pads or litter boxes (or cages) for small caged animals.

“My pups change home happy and tired! Karen did an amazing job caring for them. She was very responsive and friendly! They will be going back soon!”

“Liza had a great time with Jen!! Jen is really caring and was really attentive to put Liza at ease, not always a simple task as Liza has separation anxiety. Jen was very responsive, took a bunch of pictures, and sent me lots of updates. I really appreciated it and highly recommend her!”

“Yvonne and Joseph took wonderful care of Louie. He can be a handful, with all his energy, but thy were patient and kind with him. Thanks again!”

Jenny W.

“Karen was great from the start! Beginning with our meet and greet last week and then today during my 14 yo Maltese’s first doggy daycare day. I had my own separation anxiety today leaving my dog Bailey for the first time in 12 years! Karen was reassuring, cared about my senior dog’s special needs, and was sincere in her love of dogs. She took pics too! I appreciated her attentiveness and will be using her services again for an upcoming extended family vacation. I feel comfortable leaving Bailey in her care and a bonus was that he got along with her sweet dog Bella! 🐶🦴”

About: With over six and a half years of hands-on pet care, I bring a rare blend of experience, attentiveness, and heart. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing gentle, attentive care. What truly sets me apart is my ability to read and respond to animals’ unique personalities. I create a calm, consistent environment where pets feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s administering medication, offering leash training for puppies, or providing low-stress companionship for older pets, I bring patience and skill to every interaction. I also have experience caring for a diverse range of animals beyond just dogs and cats. From chickens and birds to hamsters and other small pets, I understand that every species has its own rhythm, needs, and comfort cues. I’m confident and compassionate with unique, exotic, or less-common animals, always prioritizing their safety, emotional well-being, and daily routines. Pet care is a built-in part of my weekly life. I’m highly flexible and genuinely enjoy working around each pet’s needs and schedule. Whether it’s early mornings, midday visits, evenings, or even late nights, I’m available and committed to making your pet’s care seamless and stress-free. I’m also happy to accommodate weekend bookings and unique timing requests whenever possible—just let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I’ll do my best to make it happen. Reliability, consistency, and clear communication are at the heart of everything I do. In clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining their pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walking routes, medication routines, and preferred playtime activities—so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I also make sure the space stays tidy and respected while I’m there. If I’m hosting pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and welcoming space. I separate animals as needed, keep food and water fresh and clean, and ensure they have access to cozy rest areas and supervised play. I never leave pets unattended, and I’m mindful of their comfort, especially in a new setting. In both cases, I focus on creating a low-stress, high-trust atmosphere, and I keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and honest communication throughout the stay.

“Amrita was amazing with Cleo. Cleo was calm and enjoyed her time. Amrita sent plenty of pics of Cleo which served to keep me calm so I could enjoy my time away. :-) Amrita also was incredibly responsive both before during and after the booking.”

“Genie & Rio had a great time with Katherine. She was very flexible given weather conditions and spent long time with dogs to get them comfortable and situated for their stay.”

“Reid was great. Blu didn’t want to seem to leave once it was time to go home. He slept good that night and even slept in the next morning! If you have a needy dog Reid is the sitter for you! Blu just loves human attention and he received lots of attention and play time.”
