Doggy Day Care in Lincoln Park

About: I have 10+ years of dog care experience, ranging from owning dogs to fostering pups in need of extra love. I currently have a friendly dog of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, safety, and socialization. Your dog will be in experienced hands, getting the same attention and affection I give my own pup! Your dog will enjoy 24/7 companionship since someone in the family will be home all day, ensuring they are never left alone. Our daily routine includes morning walks, frequent potty breaks, and flexible playtime with our friendly labradoodle, Milo. Whether your dog prefers active play or quiet naps, they will be supervised and loved as part of our family from breakfast until bedtime! Someone in the family is always home-so your dog is never alone. We have a large, fully fenced backyard that's perfect for safe exercise and play. My fostering background ensures I know how to keep dogs secure. We are happy to crate if needed and can easily adapt our home to your dogs' specific needs!

“I left my 3 y/o high energy slightly difficult dog (75lb Shepard and pit mix) with Jonathan for daycare and they did great together! Jonathan managed her and other dogs he was caring for safely and had no concerns. He is able to provide the type of high level of exercise she needs and was comfortable with her quirks and able to accommodate them with ease. I feel comfortable leaving him with her for her week long boarding session next month. Thanks Jonathan!”

“Louis did a wonderful job making Crosby and me feel comfortable on his first visit. The yard is perfect for active jobs, and Louis keeps a careful eye on all the dogs in residence. I really appreciated the photos and video too!”

About: Hi! My name is Tefa, and I’m a loving and reliable pet caregiver originally from Colombia. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had a deep connection with them—especially dogs and cats. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I truly enjoy taking care of pets like they’re part of my own family. 🐾 I’m very responsible, punctual, and kind. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry friend, and I will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently living in Wayne, NJ and am available in nearby areas. I have a flexible schedule and would love to help however I can—dog walking, drop-in visits, or just giving your pet some extra love and attention. Thank you for considering me! I can’t wait to meet your sweet pet! 💛 Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets—whether it’s for daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime. I enjoy spending time outdoors and staying active, so dog walking fits perfectly into my routine. I also make sure to give each pet attention, affection, and care based on their individual needs. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love and enjoy being part of every day. I take care of the pet as the client needs it, the main thing is with love and respect, I give the food, the outings and I am aware of them

“Lily loves going to Amanda’s house. She goes weekly for daycare and when we go on vacation for longer stays. We trust Amanda like she’s Lily’s second mom :). Lily gets a lot of love and attention and we’re so grateful to her and her husband Max (Lily’s best friend).”

“Desi and Marilyn are absolutely the most caring, engaged and knowledgeable pet sitter I’ve had. My dog is older and has some social anxiety with new dogs and both of them confidently provided a welcoming and safe experience. I highly recommend. They truly love what they do and it makes all the difference.”

“Champ had the greatest day with Eunice and her family! He ran around the yard, played with her dog and got so many cuddles! I can always tell what kind of day he’s had when I pick him up and he was happy as can be! Plus lots of amazing pics throughout the day. Highly recommend Eunice!”

“Jillian and her husband, Andrew, took such good care of my two pomeranians. My guys felt right at home and were well taken care of. They seemed to be well rested and very comfortable when I picked them up. I will certainly be booking with Jillian again!”

About: Hi! I’m Marina, a dancewear designer and a proud mom to a lovable 6-year-old dog. My love for animals brings me so much happiness, and I truly enjoy their company! I am mainly working in dance industry but do have part time to spend with dogs since I have my own and i have a lot of friends that have pets I just love to cuddle with them, walk them and play. I will prioritize the unique needs of each animal, recognising that every pet is special and deserves tailored care. I strive to create a comforting and personalized experience, ensuring that every pet feels valued and well- cared for.

About: For years, I've been the trusted pick for apartment friends when they travel. Count on me for top-notch pet care, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and tender attention. I have a lot of love to give! I currently start my days at 6AM when I go to the gym and then I do not start work (from home!) until 9AM so I have plenty of time to spare in the morning. While I have a flexible schedule, I also like to follow a strict routine regularly so adjusting to your dogs routine is an easy transition for me. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment. I ensure they have ample food, water, playtime, and exercise.

“Tracy came through in a pinch for us and watched our two dogs Maisie and Louie last minute on Christmas Day. From the moment we got to their place, we were put at ease - they’re clearly dog professionals and made us feel totally comfortable leaving our pups. Even our nervous dog Louie immediately took to them. They sent lots of updates and pictures and made our holiday stress free. Highly recommend!”

About: I am experienced in giving medication. Thoroughly experienced in behavioral training. I have no problem with multiple dogs in same household. I am experienced in all sizes of dogs. I am retired and available twenty four hours a day. I schedule all appointments around the scheduling of the dogs I care for, board or sit. I have a fenced in yard big enough to give 10 dogs plenty of room to roam. I have a steady pack, very friendly. I have never had a problem with fighting or personality problems.

“I was so nervous to drop off my newly rescued small Chiweenie and Geoff and Jenny did such a good job caring for him with so much love. Super friendly and accommodating. I can’t wait for him to go back to another doggy daycare day!”

About: Full-time aunt to Kobe, a silky terrier 6 year-old sassy, well trained boy, with a strong personality. Part-time aunt to all of my friend's animals, cats/dogs, of all shapes and sizes. Super observant of animal behavior in order to understand animals needs. Highly prioritize communicating with owners about their animals, to learn and adapt to animals/owners needs. I enjoy active days, especially with a cool dog to run around or play ball with. I'm also just as good at lounging around as your cat is, if it needs someone to fluff around with, I'm that person too. I can hold down my own, when it comes to extra large sized animals or even the fiercest of them all- the tiny animals. Besides creating a fun environment for your animals, I'm also creating a positive active environment for myself. Nothing makes me happier than cool animals, they are great company. I am a fan of walks as it is, so to have an animal join me in my outdoor adventures sounds like the perfect day to me. I am currently in a space where I am working from home, so it's been nice to have the company from all the animals as well as a reason to get up from my desk during the daily walks. I am quite clean when it comes to animals, so wiping of the paws after entering from the outdoors is on a list of to-do's for me. They do after all, sleep in our beds and walk on our couches. I also do not like ingredients like wheat and filler, so I always make sure to have any/all treats or foods with ingredients that will elongate the life rather than cut it short. I do not actually have the space to board at this time, but I am more than accommodating to keeping animals in their home space to make sure they are in their most comfortable mental state, while their parent/parents are away.

“Darien’s home is so much more than a dog groomer / boarding. She is a true caretaker. She handles my energetic pup with care, training and patience. She is always accommodating of my hectic schedule and is even cleaner than me - I did not think that was humanly possible! I love the constant updates of her running around and having fun/burning energy so when she comes home she is wiped out! I am so glad I found Darien and her doggy daycare ❤️”
