Doggy Day Care in Gary

“It was a relief with all of our funeral planning taking place in Chicago, to know that Ms. Bernice was going to take care of Niko. This was his first time at any day care and it seems that this will help us as we work with him to socialize with other dogs. Overall, she was very cooperative, reliable and conveniently located to our hotel. We would use her services again.”

“Elizabeth has loved animals as long as I have known her. The care and love that she gives my pets when she watches them is how I treat them, and that is very hard to find. I would trust all of my "babies" anytime with them in her care. We have had her watch our dogs many times and never had an ounce of worry. She treats them like her own.”

“I would recommend Kassia to anyone looking for a reliable, professional dog sitter. She was communicative, met with us a couple of days before the actual sit, and accommodated our early 6 a.m. drop-off that we needed (which happened to be on Daylight Savings as well). Moreover, our dog was excited when we dropped him off (always a good sign to us), and was tired when we got home.”

“Best care ever! I was skeptical at first about leaving my dog. This is my first time leaving her outside of my family! To my surprise she warmed up to Toya right away which made me feel even more relaxed leaving her. I will definitely be bringing my pup back”

“I am truly grateful to find Lindsey! Sutherland truly enjoy himself when he comes. She cares for your pup and gives you updates during the visit.”

About: I’ve been taking care of big and small dogs since I was 16. I’ve always made sure to make them as comfortable with me as possible. I have a very flexible schedule so I am always available to stop by or be at the house if needed. I always have time on my hands to take care of your fur baby. I have a gated yard that has lots of space for your fur babies to roam around free. I have a cage if needed at any time and I’m always attentive to the pets, especially around other pets.

“Awesome sitter”

“Sutherland loves to go over to Jordan house. He gets along with her pack. Jordan has always been flexible with needs. I am grateful that I have found her.”

“I have known Jen my whole life and have been living with her for the past 6 months. We live with 2 pups and a cat who are spoiled and very often attended to. She is educated in training small and large dogs and has experience with a range of pets. She is very punctual, reliable, and caring. I have had her watch my tortoise who is like a baby to me and at that she also was a natural!”

“Amazing!”

“Daryl is, in short, an incredible animal caregiver- from her own large family of different animal babies to any others and my own over the years! She makes sure to take pride and such sweet care in making sure every single creature she comes into contact with is taken care of with an individual attention from grooming to feeding to just belly rubs and playtime. Let me tell you, if there's ever someone I would trust with my animal babies, it's always going to be Daryl!”

“Joy and her boys are great with Bean. I'm so happy I found them.”

“Thank you 😊”

I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. Even when I was a young child, I used to help my grandmother out at her pet sitting business. I have been employed as a dog walker by “Wag!” and have had 0 complaints from any of my clients. I have been around all types and sizes of dogs from a teacup chihuahua to a Great Dane. Whenever duty calls, I am always eager to answer the phone. Anything you or your dog need, never hesitate to ask. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I’m currently working part time at the hospital, so I’ll have plenty of time to fit you and your furry friends into my schedule ! I have a fenced in yard and a dog friendly German Shepherd that would love a new friend! I can also crate your dog if needed or keep your dog separate from mine.

“Very grateful that Doris took in my baby, Dalton for a same day request. She took great care of him and I know he played his heart out because he was ready for bed when he got home! Would recommend Doris to anyone and will definitely be back. ?”

“Jesus answered my early morning request and was able to accommodate us while visiting the city. My dog seemed happy and I appreciated the picture and communication. Will definitely use him again!”

About: Hey everyone! I just moved to Chicagoland and started working remotely and living in a house with a fenced yard. I’ve had my pup Camden since 2017 and we’ve had some pretty awesome adventures together over the years. Most of my friends have pups themselves and I’ve happily taken care of them in the past. I have experience with senior dogs and special needs dogs and am certainly not afraid of high energy dogs! The more energy and the more cuddles, the better:) I work remotely and have a fenced yard, allowing me to provide supervision pretty much the entire day. My own dog Camden is very dog friendly and would love any friend to play with, inside or outside. I have my own dog as well who loves meeting new friends. I would be happy to take our dogs on group walks or hikes, and have my own backyard for them to play whenever they want.

“Alyssa has watched my dog lots of times. She was very friendly and amazing with my dog. She feed him on time the correct amount. She was always playing with him like I asked. She took him on several walks and made sure he had lots of potty breaks. She was wonderful with my dog and would recommend”
