Doggy Day Care in Lake in the Hills

“Sarah and her extraordinary family has been my Hippo's second home for almost a year. Daycare while I'm at work and many overnights as I sometimes travel frequently for work. Today I booked Hippo's last reservation in tears - we are moving out of state and knowing my dog won't be running excitedly into her yard most mornings makes me sadder than I expected. Sarah and her family welcomed him into their home and treated him like he was their own. Frankly - sometimes he spent more time there than at home due to my work schedule. If you are fortunate to get your dog in her care - your dog will be treated as a precious family member - and this is what your dog deserves. We will miss Sarah, Sam, baby Sam, Hannah, Angel, Faith, (and of course Carl and Opal) and the whole family who loved my Hippo so much. We love you guys!”

“Derek was great!!! Took great care of Zeke! Sent pics with updates!! Would definitely use again!!”

“Harper had a wonderful time!”

“Our dog loves walks with June. She is very professional and goes the extra mile to make sure our doggy is well taken care of. We will definitely keep booking with her!”

“Justyna is a sweet, loving and very caring person. Not only Care, but feel how the pets are needs. She’s got a BIG HEART and mind to open for OTHERS.”

“Harper had an amazing time!”

About: I grew up with pets all my life. We always had at least 2 dogs when I was growing up as well as 2 rabbits and 4 turtles. Currently, our household has 2 dogs, a leopard gecko, 2 rabbits, a guinea pig, and 3 chickens! I've pet-sitted plenty of times and truly enjoy it. I am at home full-time so your pet(s) would get plenty of love and attention while they are staying with me and my family. My children LOVE animals as well so your pet would have abundance of humans to keep them busy too! I have a large fenced-in yard so your pet would have plenty of room to run around and exercise. I can accommodate your pet having their own time outside or make sure to have them with other playmates, whichever is preferred. Pet-sitting is my full-time gig. I am home all the time so your pet will have all of my attention, all day long. I have the flexibility to maintain your pup's daily routine for him/her (special treats or meals, walks at very specific times, etc.) I only allow up to 3 fur-guests in my home at a time. This allows me to give each pup the extra attention they deserve as well as maintaining a calm environment for everyone.

“It was very nice to meet Alexa. Her family took such good care of our little puppy. Luna had a great time playing with all the pups, came home tired and happy. Will book again soon.”

“Julianna has always been drawn to animals. Her experiences with handling pets has been wonderful. She posses the love and compassion that a true pet owner should have. What stands out about Julianna is she takes the time to do her research to continuously improve herself to be a better pet owner.”

“Nutmeg was well cared for and received lots of affection. This was his first stay at daycare. We will definitely ask Hannah to watch him again. Thank you Hannah!”

About: Hello! I am a very active individual who loves to engage and play with pets. I consider myself an avid runner, and have never shied away from taking pets with me. I am very used to walking and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. For daycare, I work from home full time and have a large fenced in yard that all dogs love! I currently have two pets, a 1 year old pup named Vasher and a orange tabby cat named Locke. Vasher is a golden retriever / German shepherd mix who is the best boy. He already weighs over 70 lb! He loves to play, run around, and talk to us with his buttons. He is extremely friendly and loves to make new friends, both human and dog alike. Locke will make friends with any person he meets. I also helped raised my parents dog Leine, who is a 90lb tree walker cooonhound. She is the sweetest pup at 10 years old. I have watched and cared for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, but you can probably tell I have a special place for large playful dogs. If you're looking for somewhere to drop off your dog for the day where they will have a huge yard and a playmate, I'm your guy. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I currently work remotely! My schedule is entirely flexible, so I will be able to take care of your pet at any time of the day. If you have a set schedule for walking/feeding/playing, I'll be able to stick to it without any issues. I will care for your pet by paying attention to their needs, whether it be playing, cuddling, or feeding. I will keep them as active as possible, and would be happy to run them around the yard or neighborhood. I am very willing to follow whatever instructions you have for your pet.

“Kaya really enjoyed her first visit with Elizabeth!! This was the first time she’s had dog sitting in a sitters home and it went really well! I felt very comfortable with Elizabeth and Kaya really likes her 😊”

About: I have 3 years of working in the pet care industry on top of having dogs all my life. I worked a year as manager at a dog boarding facility and I am currently a veterinary technician at a clinic! I am great with puppies along with seniors. I am currently in school and am at most in class two hours a day and my shifts are no longer than 6 hours a few times a week. I will most likely be taking care of pets while doing school work! I can watch pets in your home or my home! I will make sure your pets are well taken care of and are the most comfortable while you’re away. Caring for the pets is making sure they get a potty break ever 2-3 hours during the day and making sure they have water access and get fed their proper meals at the proper time.

“Felt very comfortable with Jillian watching my dog. She sent pix during the day and got him out for a long walk. He was relaxed and content at the end of the day. So grateful we found her!”

“Based on the way I’ve seen them take care of their own pets , I think they would be more then up to the job”

“If dogs could talk, I know they would tell their owners how Michelle opens both her home and her heart up to them during their stay. She knows it can be a stressful time for pets to be separated from their owners, and goes the extra mile to make them feel comfortable and part of her own family while they are with her. They get lots of play time, attention, and the freedom to make themselves "at home".”

“My boy had such a great day with Kathleen and John and their pup!”

“Karen was fantastic! After our meet and greet, I knew this would be the perfect place for our Piper. Piper loved playing in the yard with her pups and enjoyed a walk with Karen. Karen takes the time to get to know your dog and their personality. I was at ease knowing my pup was having a great time and being well cared for!”

“Kathy was wonderful with our pug Violet. We booked her for daycare on short notice and she was so accommodating. Her pugs made my pug right at home! I appreciated getting pictures during the day and Violet was pooped and happy when we got her. She had a great day with Kathy’s pugs and we’d definitely use her again without hesitation. Thank you, Kathy!!”

“Kelly has owned, and cared for pets as long as I have known her. Kelly is a person who is detail oriented, organized and caring. What I believe makes a great sitter for anybody's pet! She is active with her pets, ensuring her dog is walked at least once a day, with plenty of time outside to run around the yard, play fetch and tug and play in the doggy pool. She has been sitting for friends and family ever since she was in high school, and has a personal love for animals. She would be a great care taker for any pet! +”
