Doggy Day Care Highland Park

“Fast and great communication. This was the first time I ever dropped my dog off at a whole day doggy care. My dog is very much attached to me, so I was worried how he’d act. Eric did a great job keeping me informed throughout the day with pictures and quick updates. I will definitely be using his service on a regular basis!”

“This is my second time having my Luna stay at Maria & Kalyan’s place and under their care. I am so appreciative of how communicative they are leading up to the visit, during the visit, and after. I always know that Luna is in good hands. Thank you for being gentle and caring towards her and I look forward to having her become more & more confident staying in your home!”

“Jerry was thoughtful, communicative and did a great job caring for my dog! My dog is an escape artist and I felt comfortable leaving her in his care because he has a secure backyard, a double gate system by the front door, and was diligent about keeping her safe.”

Brianna P.

“My pupper had a great day and enjoyed fun with her new friends. Communications with Kirsten were smooth and clear and made me feel comfortable as this was my first time using Rover.”

“Elle is an amazing doggy day care provider! I am so happy to have found her. Elle provides a very happy place for my dog to play and hang out with doggy friends. She observant about each dog's personality and needs. After only keeping Arlo twice, she noticed things about his personality and expressions that even my family members have never noticed (but I had). I know she will take good care of my dog because she really cares about him.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8, from newborn puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I love playing fetch, cuddling on the couch for quiet time as well as running around together in the terraced backyard. If you’re looking for a mini summer camp for your pup, no matter their size or age, you’ve found the right place! I work from home as an artist with 2 small dogs that love meeting new friends! I’m home Monday- Friday and several weekends each month. I also have a separate living room for your cat where it will have the run of the place without other pets. I don’t have children, I have dogs. They sleep in the bedroom and I take them everywhere; camping, roadtrips, and I’ve even taken them abroad with me for vacation!

“Widget had a GREAT time at Ro's house, hanging out with her and her dogs! He came home tired and happy. Ro was right on time, solid communication, flexible and responsive - we will be back!”

About: I love sweet pets who want lots of attention! I love having a pet around and care deeply about their care and safety. I grew up and have lived with pets my whole life! I'm intuitive and pets trust me. I prefer well behaved pets that are good with strangers. My job flexibility allows me to have freedom in my schedule. In fact, I house sat one time and trained their dog to walk in a leash properly. Cats and dogs love me! I have a friend who drops off his dog when he's working periodically when he's in town. I have even washed the dog for my friend, which he appreciated. I will take care of your pets and respect your needs. Let's chat soon! Caring for dogs is built into my daily routine, so they receive consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Dogs have access to a secure outdoor area where they can use the bathroom whenever they need, along with a covered space to relax in the shade or stay protected from the weather. I provide fresh water, feeding according to each dog's schedule, and closely monitor their well-being to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and happy. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is in caring, dependable hands. I provide a clean, secure, and supervised outdoor boarding space where dogs have access to fresh water, toys if they like and a covered area for shade and protection from the weather, and meals according to their usual routine. I closely monitor each dog's well-being, provide plenty of attention, and keep owners updated and messages throughout their stay.

“Maria is amazing!! Our pups got to spend the day going for walks and enjoying the company of other dogs in thr comfort of Maria's home! I think one of our dogs actually got mad that she had to leave 😉”

“Clarissa and Yasiel took great care of Pickles! He's had some separation anxiety lately but he settled in just fine. They kept me updated throughout the day and sent cute photos. We will rebook!”

“Rachael was great! Sadie can be a little shy and nervous at first but she warmed up quickly to Rachael. We loved that she got a trip to the dog park too! Rachael had great communication and sent us some videos of Sadie playing.”

About: I've loved and cared for dogs for 20+ years — and it's the senior and high-needs ones that have shaped me most as a caretaker. I've worked professionally as a dog walker and sitter, volunteered on a farm tending to sheep, pigs, and cows, and have logged years of animal care across a wide variety of contexts. My focus and true passion is senior and high-needs dogs. I currently care for Momo, my 11-year-old mini poodle rescue, who requires daily medication, mobility support, and consistent patience with separation anxiety rooted in past trauma. I'm fully comfortable managing medication schedules, specialized diets, and the kind of attentive, adaptive care that older or more complex dogs require. I also guided my previous dog, an Old English Sheepdog, through her full senior journey — including dementia-informed reactivity, significant mobility challenges, and all the nuanced day-to-day care that came with loving a big dog through her final chapter. I share my home with two poodles: Momo, and Stormy — a big, friendly 7-year-old standard who loves meeting new dogs and is equally happy to give them space if that's what they need. Stormy splits his time between my home and family nearby, so his presence varies by stay. I now work from home in a different field, and pet care is my way of staying connected to the animals I love. Your dog gets calm, present, unhurried attention from someone who is genuinely home — and genuinely invested. Senior dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs who need a little extra are especially welcome here! I work from home the majority of the week, so I'm present and available throughout most days. I'm typically in office one to two days a week — usually Wednesdays and/or Thursdays — for roughly 8 hours. Outside of those days, I'm home and attentive during business hours and fully available on evenings and weekends. I have a fully fenced yard, a one-story layout with no stairs to navigate — especially important for senior or mobility-limited dogs — and gate separation available so visiting dogs can be in the mix while still having their own space. Crates are available if needed. I keep pet cameras throughout the home so I can monitor remotely on the rare occasion I'm out. All dogs have dedicated feeding stations and I'm happy to accommodate varying meal times and dietary needs. Animal CPR documentation is posted in the home, an emergency vet is less than a mile away, and I have reliable transportation should anything come up.

“Rachel is kind, patient, and flexible. Evie has had such a wonderful time playing at her house with Jane. She came home tired and happy and I was so happy to have some pet help for a couple of weeks. Thank you, Rachel and Jane!”

About: I have two dogs that are my babies. I grew up around dogs and cats, so I have years of experience caring for both species. I have a flexible work schedule (TWTh/in the office), and am free most weekdays and weekends. I also have flexibility to only work half days in the office. I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. I live by myself, so your pet will have my full attention all day. The neighborhood is excellent if your dog prefers walks outside.

“From the very first day, Maria has been so attentive and enthusiastic. Pickles is always ecstatic to see here. We also appreciate the framed photo of Pickles while he is still a puppy. Thank you Maria!”

“Sean and his family is fun and loving. Finley loves visiting them and eagerly joins the household. We are thrilled that we found Sean. He is the best.”

Pamela T.

“Beau is kind, flexible and professional. Both my senior dog and my 7 month old pup went directly to him-exhibiting no separation anxiety at all. He took very good care of both dogs and worked-happily-around my complicated schedule. It was reassuring to trust that my dogs were getting top notch care!”

About: I am a reliable and responsible dog parent. I love love dogs. I have been taking care of dogs for the past 10 years and I’ve always had dogs growing up. I have a terrier mix called Betty that I adopted 6 years ago during the pandemic. I work from home so she is very happy and gets lots attention and walks. I’m currently working from home so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup and give them the love and attention they need. I will take your dog on lots of walks. I have a crate for when I need to leave the dog for a short time if sitting at my home. If sitting at dogs home it will depend on the home and dog needs.

“We did a couple days of day-care and wow my dog LOVED Katherine - he could barely hold his excitement to return the second day. It says a lot when your dog settles in so quickly, he had a great time and got lots of exercise with Katherine. Will definitely be hoping for more care in the future!”
