Doggy Day Care in McHenry

“Arlene took great care of my active puppy! She followed all my instructions and sent me frequent picture updates. She made sure he stayed entertained with lots of toys and games. Teddy was excited to visit with her again!”

“Tommy and Julie were so good with Frank! They have a schedule for feeding and sent me updates on Frank throughout the day. Very organized and truly care about all the dogs! Frank loves going and playing and I feel at ease when he is there!”

“Debbie was great with Darcy and accommodated a last minute request for daycare on Saturday while I had some local business to attend to. Her entire family was engaged with Darcy, including the friendly family cat Lokei! Darcy came home tired from all the love, attention and walks. Highly recommended.”

“Kat was a lovely sitter for Kairi, great location and care for a daytime sitting!”

“Oreo LOVES LOVES LOVES being at John's place. She chases squirrels in the big backyard, which she never catches, so there is a never ending game. John spoils her with cuddles, which she's loves, and responds with kisses back. And for us, knowing that she's being loved upon makes it easy for us to relax when we are away. I would absolutely recommend John!”

“Sabrina loves animals and cared for my Lilly (dog) as if she were her own. We have had Sabrina watch Lilly a couple of times and for extended periods. She keeps in regular contact with me; sending me updates and pictures. Lilly is high anxiety and was initially scared of other dogs. Sabrina worked with Lilly, slowly having her meet other furry friends and now Lilly is excited instead of scared when she sees dogs. I was initially concerned that Lilly would be scared to stay with someone as I had a few bad kenneling experiences. Lilly quickly warmed to Sabrina and her family and now gets very excited to see them. I would highly recommend Sabrina to care for your loved one.”

“Jill has watched my dog on multiple occasions. I always know when I need to leave him that he will be well taken care of, walked and given lots of snuggles and love! She will definitely treat your pet like they are her own.”

“We could not ask for a better individual to watch or walk our Daisy. She is a nervous rescue dog, but he innately puts her at ease with his calm and caring tone and demeanor, effortlessly earning her trust. Whether it is taking her for a long walk, or watching her over an extended weekend, Joe has been entirely responsible and timely when she is under his care. We are grateful for all he does for Daisy!”

“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!”

“She was wonderful with my dog!”

About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 17. I’ve owned 4 dogs at one point. I have raised two litters of cats. I currently have one dog and one cat! I love animals and would love to help you give love to yours! Rover is my full time job so I am available! I will give your loved ones undivided attention! I will follow directions and make sure I give them lots of love and attention. I do not work currently. I only have to be at home at 2 to pick up my daughter from school. But I have a pretty open schedule. I walk my dog three times a day to ensure there aren’t any accidents at home. I have a gate in case i have to separate pets.

“Lyndsey loves animals and is an amazingly caring person. You would be lucky to have her spend times with your pups! She is extremely reliable as well.”

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.

“Morgan would be a great dog walker for your company. She dog sits for my German Shepherd coonhound all the time she is a certified vet tech she really knows how to take care of your animals. She has never met a dog that she did not love and did not love her.”

I understand how particular animals can be and will always follow the owners lead on what to do/not to do. I also never post anything on social media unless I get your approval ahead of time.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was 5 years old, I come from a family of veterinarians and animal lovers. I even started pet sitting and walking when I was 9 years old. I’m currently studying part time so I have an open and flexible schedule. Message me, I’d love to walk, feed, watch after your fur babies! When I am watching after your pets, I make sure to take pictures, provide updates, and make sure your pets are comfortable & safe around me.

“Sydni will always be my first choice when I am looking for someone to look after my pets. Sydni has this natural ability with animals whether it is Dogs, Cats, Gerbals, whatever, they are attracted to her energy and kindness. Stubbs loves when Sydni comes over because he knows he will get extended playtime, Puppy Whips from Starbucks, car rides, walks at the dam whatever that day holds he knows it will be an adventure. The plus side for me is I get great pictures and updates during the stay or day walk that assures me that once again I made the correct choice and asked Sydni to watch Stubbs. The only downside I have found is that Stubbs tends to run to Sydni before me.”

“Tabitha was a lifesaver! I was in the area unexpectedly and needed a safe, comfortable place for my dog to stay for a few hours. And her place fit the bill! My dog was cared for and at ease during her stay, which was a huge relief to both of us. Tabitha's correspondence was also quick and efficient during the whole last minute situation. I'm so grateful to her and her boyfriend!”

About: I’ve always grown up around dogs and don’t ever see my life without one. I currently own two German shepherds Oakley and cubby who are my babies along side my two human babies 2 and 5 years old. I’m a certified vet assistant. I am a stay at home mom. My schedule is free to have your pet feel like they are home while you’re away! We can go for walks, play in the fenced backyard or cuddle up on the couch/bed for movie time. I have a 6ft fenced in yard that is big enough to get your dogs energy out along with 2 German shepherds play mates. There’re toys, treats, and couches to make your pet feel at home. There’s lots of windows in case your dog likes to watch their surroundings. I can spend as little as much time side by side your dog. If your pet is happy, I am happy!
