Doggy Day Care in Lake Shangrila

“Cassandra is awesome. We are visiting and had no idea what to do with Gordo since we were afraid to leave him in the hotel alone and wanted to make a cubs game. We contacted on short notice but Cassandra responded quickly and took great care of our fur baby.”

“Ashley and her family are amazing. She keeps me informed with how the day is going and is very welcoming. She is so flexible and willing to follow your dog’s schedule. She sends pictures daily which is awesome to see. When I drop Willis off at her house, he is so excited when she opens the door and loves to see her. I am so glad we found her and will continue to use her as long as we need puppy care. Thanks for everything you have done and are doing!!!! <3”

About: Luxury dog sitter at your service! By luxury I mean top tier care with a bonus of professional pet photography included in their stay if discussed (see below). I’m a 32 year old young professional (environmental consultant and photographer), with a semi small dog ( pom mix) that gets along with all dogs. Very friendly and fun household, with a backyard and large unfenced park next to my house. I’ve had dogs under my care since I was a child, and have babysat friends pups for years. I have trained all my puppies to sit, stay, rollover, paw and house trained them. I am available anytime during the week and on the weekends. I am eager to start caring for your pet, so please feel free to contact me at any time of day, preferably through texts! I look forward to hearing from you! *Upcharge will be applied depending on last minute booking, hours, location, pet age, care type etc I work from home, so I will be available 24/7!

About: I'm an energetic person who enjoys being with dogs. I pay close attention to detail and I am always willing to engage in activities to keep your dog busy but I also know dogs need some down time as well. I stay at home full-time so I will be able to provide plenty of potty breaks and play time in the backyard. I am currently a dog daddy to a Chihuahua named Lucy. She'll be 1 years old on November 1st. She's very loving and friendly dog. I have 7 years of experience. I don't mind taking your dogs or puppies out for walks instead of just staying in the backyard. I will take good care of your beloved pets as if they were my very own.

“Amazing! I had no worries all day about my dog as I was sent many videos and also text messages of updates for him! 10/10 would very much recommend! Thank you so much again!!!”

“Teresa and her husband were incredibly accommodating when it came down to my last minute schedule. My dog had a blast with all of theirs, and promptly fell asleep a minute after getting into the truck to go home. I was kept up to date with pics and videos throughout her time there to let me know she was ok and having a great time. I'll absolutely be using them again to care for my dog, they were absolutely terrific.”

About: We've been bully breed pet owners for years, and I'm comfortable with pups of all sizes and ages. I've been hosting dogs, doing at-home visits and sharing lots of pup love for friends and neighbors for quite a long time. I'm currently working from home, and could easily fit day-time walks and at-home visits into my schedule. Feel free to let me know if your pup/s could use a day-time potty break, or even a quick walk to get their energy out! I have a fenced in yard at my home and space for a dog crate if needed. I'm comfortable with both small and large breed dogs, and would welcome opportunities to come visit your pup/s during the day to help stretch my legs, and theirs.

“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!”

About: I own 4 cats, also owned 2 dogs in the past that lived to their golden age. My cats range in age from 12 - 2. I care for my animals all the time from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed. They are entertained with toys and activities throughout the day. I have cat and dog carriers that I use. My car is very safe and I will put them in the backseat. If there are special requirements, please let me know.

“We’ve been here with our 2 Great Danes/huskies (boarding and daycare) and both times they’ve come back home happy and tired from day(s) of running and fun (: exactly what they need. Will absolutely use again in the future!”

“I gave the sitter 5 stars. I will use them anytime I need a sitter for my dog. Thanks for your service.”

About: I have a Certificate in Animal Science. I have either owned or cared for dogs since I was very young. I am my family's doggy daycare. I also worked for P.A.W.S. (People for Animal Welfare Society). I am available 24/7 for boarding with the exception of when I might be away on vacation or away from the house or no more vacancies. I am conveniently located in a nice neighborhood just minutes from Six Flaggs Great America, Great Wolfe Lodge Water Park, and Gurnee Mills Mall. So caring for your family pet(s) will be a win-win for both you and me. I have a large fenced in yard for room to run and play. I also have a screened in patio for a place to enjoy the fresh air outdoors when the weather doesn't cooperate and a place to dry off after they are out in the snow or rain.

About: I truly take care of pets, being responsible and careful. I have had pets with disabilities, very old, and I have given them medicine orally, and topically and changed the bandages, as well as fed with my palm for very old and blind ones. I currently work part time and mostly available to take care of pets. My schedule is flexible for boarding on and off, as well as weekends I live in a single house with fenced backyard. I am available for taking care of your loved ones and have a nice place in my house for them❤️. It is clean and cozy.

“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: What sets me apart is the combination of lifelong dog experience, a calm and structured home environment, and a whole lot of genuine love for pups of every age and personality. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was eight, adopted my first on my own at twenty, and haven’t gone a single year without a furry best friend since. These days, I share my home with three young, well‑socialized dogs—two lab mixes and a rottie mix—who are playful, friendly, and great at helping new pups feel welcome. Because I work from home, I’m around almost all day, which means your dog gets consistent attention, supervision, and companionship. Whether your pup is a high‑energy player, a shy snuggler, or a senior who needs a slower pace, I adjust to their comfort level. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with seniors, and happy to follow any routines or quirks your dog relies on. If you’re looking for a safe, fun, and loving place for your dog to stay—whether it’s for one night or a longer getaway—I’d love to welcome them. Your pup will be treated like family here. I work full‑time from home Monday through Friday, which means your pup gets plenty of attention, walks, and affection throughout the day. They’ll rarely be left alone—just the occasional quick errand—so they can enjoy lots of company, comfort, and love. I share my home with three friendly dogs and a fully fenced yard, giving your pup plenty of space to play, explore, and relax. Dogs are welcome on the furniture—including the beds—so I can easily accommodate whatever makes your pet feel most at home. I also have a large crate available upon request, multiple cozy dog beds, and even extra guest rooms if your dog prefers sleeping in a bed but enjoys their own space.

“Byron was very responsive and great at easing Bear's separation anxiety after I dropped him off. Bear even ate his dinner, which he rarely does at a new place. Will definitely use again!”

“Danielle is AWESOME!! Roxy had a great time with her and her dogs and kids are amazing! She sent me photos during the day and let me know how Roxy was doing. She takes her for nice walks and gets plenty of exercise and fun. I'm super happy with the care Roxy gets at her house. Thanks!”

About: My husband I both grew up with golden retrievers and have a soft spot for them. When I was first out on my own and bought my first home, I rescued a pit bull and she was with me until she passed. My husband, sons and I are all dog lovers and would love to welcome your dog into our home. My husband is home full time and I work from home and we are anxious to care for your pet! We have 2 sons - ages 6 and 10, so kid-friendly dogs are a must. We are available any day of the week at any time, unless we have something specific planned (which is not often). Please feel free to ask about specific dates and times and I will be sure to add you to my calendar! My husband is home full time and I work from home so we have ample amounts of time to care for your pet. My 2 sons LOVE dogs and love to play and take dogs on walks. Our yard is unfenced, per our HOA rules so your pet will always be on a leash for potty breaks and walks around the neighborhood. Pets are free to explore the entire home and will not be crated or gated, unless a crate is provided and requested.
