Home away from Home Loves Included!
Hello, my name is Dayna I’m a mom to both the 2 legged and 4 legged varieties. My teen loves to help take care of our guests. We want your pet to get the real home and family feel when they are with us so like our own babies they will have the run of the house and are allowed on the furniture though we also offer crates if they like to sleep in them or have time to themselves. We do not allow table scraps or rawhide. I have a white GSP mix and three cats at home and have worked for animal shelters including adoption counselor and fostering for over 10 years and have had pets my entire life with experience from puppies to seniors with the extra care that goes with both. We are located a mile from downtown Glen Ellyn less than 5 minutes from 2 different parks including a fenced-in a dog park (ask me for details if you would like your pup to play at the dog park) I work with fur, scales, feathers, and hooves including stable/farm animals, everything from horses on down and offer basic grooming options: Bath, brush, trim, and nails for an additional fee We do check-ins (including photos) with you to let you know how your pet has been doing this can be done daily or less depending on how you would like. Our goal is that your pet receives the same love and care that they would from you and for you to feel comfortable knowing they will be loved and well taken care of while in our care. Drop off starts at 7 am and pick up up until 8 pm. Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella are required vaccinations. Please provide proof of current vaccinations and/or the contact information and authorization to speak to your vet if needed.

Ratings and reviews
We appreciated the daily feedback & photos. Dayna is a natural with animals. She was wonderful handling them.
Dayna went above and beyond! While we were away, Dayna dealt with storms knocking the power out for a couple days, flooding in our basement, and construction teams, all while keeping our dog comfortable. We’re very grateful she was here and communicated every step of the way.
Dayna was such an amazing pet sitter for our Bear. She was incredibly patient and kind to him during our time away. Dayna has such a loving spirit for animals and that shows in every way… our Bear can be very hard to except new people but Dayna and her compassion won his love. We are so lucky to have Dayna and highly recommend her to anyone !
Dayna did a wonderful job watching our dog in our home for a few days. Highly recommend!
Dayna was great with my 2 dogs. She send texts about how they were doing and lots of photos. I hope to have her house-sit again in the future!
The boy LOVES his visits. I’ve said it many times- but he’s bummed when he sees me in the driveway rather than his friend! Thank you!

A typical day
We enjoy walks long or short depending on what the dog likes going to dog parks if your dog has a license to a local dog park or you would like to obtain a visitor's pass. We also like to play with them whether fetch or tug of war or whichever games they enjoy or they just want to be a cuddle bug. When there are weather extremes such as high and/or low temps we visit Petsmart or other pet-friendly locations to let them stretch their legs.
