Pet care experience

Lifetime dog owner and lover!

I have owned dogs and cats throughout my life and love animals of all kinds. I have a female standard poodle who is social with all animals. She's very intuitive so if a dog wants to be left alone she's happy to comply. As a retired health care professional and lifetime dog owner I have a solid understanding of their needs. I had a dog walking/sitting business in Florida so am very qualified to care for your pup!

Peggy was great with Lui!! Lui's an older pup (16yrs) and she definitely has experience with senior dogs. Her pup Mila was an absolute sweetheart when we met and respected boundaries ❤️. Lui also settled in right away in one of the dog beds at his disposal. Peggy was extremely responsive and informative, she gave great updates and I will definitely be using her in the future! Lui

Excellent. Peg was very loving, made sure Pasha had everything he needed, send frequent updates and photos about what and how he was doing. I was so happy. I would refer her to friends and family and will put Pasha with Peg again. I couldn't have asked for a better person for Pasha. Thank you Peg.

Peg cares for our dog like she is part of the family. Daisy loves staying with and playing with Peg and Mila. We love getting lots of photos and regular updates.

Doggy Day Care • May 27, 2025

Peg was great with Wookie. I appreciate that she took the time to ask questions about him and see how he was with her dog when we first met. Wookie had a great time playing with Mika and they got along well. There were a lot of activities available to do, from long walks to hanging out on the patio to puppy puzzles. I would definitely have Wookie stay with her again!

Peg was wonderful with our little girl. We picked her up just now and was happy to see us, she looked happy over all and looked well fed. Peg sent us pictures every day and was great about communicating daily status. We will definitely use Peg again and are already planning our girls next visit with Peg.

Schedule

I am retired so have plenty of time to spend with your pup. I have a small private dog park behind my house and a beautiful walking path right out the back door so your pup will get as much exercise as you'd like. I also have a small fenced in patio area where they can simply enjoy being outside, weather permitting. I am in and out but never gone for the day especially while your pet is in my care.

Safety, trust & environment

I am in a condominium association just accross the street from the DuPage River Trail. We also have extensive trails and a large open space/park across the street. There are so many walking opportunities. My yard is currently unfenced.i have a small patio where i can sit with the dogs that is fenced. I take frequent walks throughout the day so your dog will be exercised. I have a view from my kitchen and living room where dogs can watch neighbors walk by. I have a large crate here also if you prefer to have your dog crated when I am out of the house. I love to walk so would be happy to take your dog for walks for exercise. I hope you'll consider allowing me to care for your beloved family member!
