Doggy Day Care in Johnsburg

“This was our first visit with Deanne. Doggy Daycare was a hit! Cash was happy when I picked him up. He was sound asleep on the couch within a 1/2 of getting home. I think he had a busy day with his new lil buddy!”

“John knew that Sadie liked to fetch tennis balls thrown with a Chuck-it, so he did that for her. Twice! In very cold weather & it hurt his shoulder. I really like that he only takes 1 dog family at a time. He treats my dog like his dog. Has a wonderful big fenced yard, during warmer weather has dog doors so they can go in & out at will. His dog Peaches is very sweet.”

“The first time ever my dog didn’t wanna leave sitters house, Stormy loved it there! Highly recommend, huge fenced in back yard, very kind and courteous, and you can tell Victoria is a dog lover herself.”

“Dash has been going to Kathleen for a week now & he loves her! She is very responsive, and very sweet. She sends me pics throughout the day, and I love that she takes him out for walks and play time. We will continue to book with her 😊”

“Debbie has a lovely home and my dear pups were treated like honored guests. The meet and greet let me know Jasper and Millie were in good hands. Debbie’s entire family welcomed our dogs. I felt like I had an entire team to meet their needs with Debbie as captain. I appreciated the photos and texts to know our family pets were In good hands. It was a terrific experience and gives me great peace to know I can work late or plan an adventure and our beautiful pups will be in loving hands. Very grateful.”

About: I don’t remember a time in my life when a dog wasn’t part of it, and I think they make my life more complete. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m experienced with senior dogs and their unique needs. I also have had experience with dogs that have more complex medical issues (diabetes, Valley Fever, incontinence, seizures) and medications (oral pills, liquids, and even injections). I also have a fenced in yard where your dog can play…or just loll in the sun. And I have a dog friendly home where they’ll be treated like family. I work from home all day, so I’m here most of the time. I also tend to work from the couch, so your dog will be able to cuddle or get pets often. I usually feed my dogs in the AM, but I would feed your dog according to your schedule. I wouldn’t want to get them off of any routines you have. I think consistency is good for them. My home would be their home. It’s stressful enough for them to be in a new environment and out of their typical routine, so I try to make them comfortable. I also respect your rules and limitations for your dog.

“Our dog, Ky, was well cared-for and seemed very happy to have had other dogs to play with while staying with Maria. Our puppy clearly did not want to leave!”

About: I've lived with dogs almost my entire life, and adopted my first dog 15 years ago. I've since owned two Border Collies, who both participated in advanced agility and obedience work. I'm comfortable with high-drive, working breeds as well as your typical pet dogs. I have also trained and lived with Golden Retrievers, Labs, Pitties, Havanese and Shih Tzus, so I'm familiar with a wide range of breeds, and I've cared for dogs in all stages of life -- from puppies to seniors. Whether your pup is a cuddle-loving couch potato or a ride-or-die adventure pal, they'll fit in great here! I currently work from home most days, and homeschool my two kids (ages 10 and 12). I have a very flexible schedule and am always up to go for a hike or play fetch between various family activities, or to snuggle up on the couch with a good book and a pup to cuddle. Your pet will be surrounded by a friendly family environment, and included in the daily routine I follow with my own dogs! I have a fenced in yard and a pet-friendly van for easy transportation. I am located near many lovely nature trails as well as a fully walk-able neighborhood including access to the McHenry Riverwalk only a block away! Daily walks never get boring with so many options available. Whether I'm strolling down the block to watch the geese on the river, or loading up in our van to hit up a local trail, every day is fun and interesting. If our dogs get along these can be joint adventures, but if your dog is more of a solo adventurer I am happy to walk and play separately!

About: Hello I currently own 2 dogs and 3 cats. My friends, family, and neighbors rely on me when going on trips to help out with their fur babies. Doing their feeding, taking them for walks, playing with them, giving them medication if needed or just keeping them company. I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. To do drop in visits, or walks it’s also helpful that I’m home all day to keep an eye on your babies and play with them on my breaks. I have a fenced yard big enough for your pet to run around, or play with my dogs that enjoy company. Either your pet likes to play outside with toys or receive lots of cuddles, or walks. I do require a meet and greet before setting anything up to see if everyone gets along.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have also had a small private pet/house sitting business for the past 12 years. I have a lot of experience feeding pets with strict/special diets using oils, powders, crushed up supplements etc. and administering medicine including insulin injections. I’ve cared for dogs with disabilities and senior pets and puppies too. I love playing, walking, and just hanging out with them and giving lots of cuddles. I am a Nanny during the week, but have a somewhat flexible schedule. I generally can work the pet sitting routine into my work schedule so they are always well cared for and get plenty of attention. For boarding, my husband is home during the day and can take great care of your pets too. I am available to drop in or walk early mornings, evenings and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday’s. Pet sitting in your home - I basically “move in” for the time you are away. I follow your routine and house rules and spend most of my time in your home making sure your pets needs are met. This is especially good if there are separation anxiety issues. Boarding - I provide all loving care in my home making sure pets are comfortable, safe, and happy. Drop in- I will stop at your home and let dogs out, feed & water, play, etc. for no less than 20 minutes. I can also care for cats if you have them. Walks- I will come by, whether you are home or away, and take the dog(s) for a walk. I can feed and water too.

“Dallas and Adam are the epitome of hospitality! From the moment we met them, they made us feel right at home, even offering us coffee during introductions. Their warmth and accommodation extended to Appa, treating him like one of their own. Their property is a doggy paradise, with ample space for Appa to play and explore. We couldn't have asked for cooler hosts. Definitely booking with them again when we're in the area!”

About: I’ve enjoyed watching Dogs for family and friends over the years. I work from home and would be available for any of the dogs needs throughout the day. We do have one dog of our own, a corgi, named Poppy. She is a very easy going dog that is very good at matching others dog’s energy. I’m very available on weekdays and most weekends. I’m also pretty flexible with last minute changes and keeping you updated with pictures and status updates. We do not have a fenced yard, but we do have a cable line the extends the yard. I can also set up a small fence for smaller dogs, if needed. We have a beautiful Corgi that has gotten along with every dog she’s ever met.

“First time with Anays and Francis and did not regret it. Truman did so good with them. Too bad we are from out of town. They would be great sitters to have around. They sent updates and accommodated our last minute requests. Truman felt so at home right away and you can tell that they are a pro at dog sitting. Would surely avail of there services next time we are in the area. 5 stars!”
