Doggy Day Care In Peterson Park

About: I’ve had many pets growing up my entire life, however, I began being an animal caretaker since 2019. Originally I was a flying nanny so I was never home, but I was transporting dogs and cats all over the United States from state to state. I fell in love with my job until I could no longer travel anymore. Now that I work from home, I still want to be able to continue my journey with caring for animals. Many people do jobs because their parents did it or they do it for the money; but I genuinely do it because I love animals… you might be able to say more than humans. I currently work from home and work when I want in my daily life would really affect my availability to pet sit. I’m basically available every single day of the week unless I make plans. I live in an apartment that has a grass area for animals to handle their business and it is fenced all the way around the apartment. And I have a very sweet cat who was about three years old and she does very well with other animals if your baby needs company.

“Courtney was communicative, responsive, and easy to work with from start to finish. Mazi enjoyed his stay, and I appreciated the updates and care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Susan did an amazing job watching Ava for the day! Took her out for walks multiple times, played with her and sent multiple updates and picture to let me know she was settling in well. I would highly recommend Susan!”

“Absolutely amazing! I've used To er several times when we're visiting an area away from home and this was, by far, the best experience. I received photos throughout her stay. House was immaculate with no bad smells or messes (unlike many of the sitters I've been to). Thanks a great bunch of doggy kisses!”

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for more than 20 years, and spending time with animals has always been one of my favorite things. Over the years, I've cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from playful Chihuahuas and energetic puppies to gentle Huskies, senior pets, and independent cats. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give each pet. I take the time to get to know their unique personality, routines, and preferences so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence nearby, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I'm experienced with senior pets who need extra patience and care, including administering medications and following special routines. I'm also comfortable with puppies who are still learning and need consistency, supervision, and lots of positive reinforcement. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel connected when you're away from your furry family member. That's why I provide regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.

In My Home: When your pet stays with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can relax and feel at home. My fully fenced backyard offers plenty of space for supervised outdoor play, fresh air, and potty breaks, with both grass and shaded areas to keep pets comfortable. We're also conveniently located near parks and walking trails, making it easy to provide regular exercise and enrichment. Because I work from home full-time, pets are rarely left alone and receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I maintain each pet's normal feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule as closely as possible to help reduce stress and make their stay feel familiar. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet's needs, preferences, and any special instructions before their stay. In Your Home: When caring for your pet in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine consistent and their environment stress-free. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and household guidelines to ensure your pet receives the same level of care they're accustomed to. I understand that trust is essential when welcoming someone into your home, so I treat every home with the utmost respect and care. I'll keep you updated with photos, messages, and regular check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, daycare, or overnight house sitting, I strive to provide dependable care and lots of love while you're away.

“Cindy is fantastic. Our dog spent a few workdays while one of us was traveling, and he clearly felt comfortable and happy while at the same time Cindy provided a structured, calm, and enriching environment for him. He got walks and puzzles and even another dog friend to play with on occasion. Cindy was very patient, attentive, and kind. She has an excellent confident demeanor and establishes boundaries effectively and naturally with the pups. I would recommend Cindy in a heartbeat.”

“Nadia was amazing! It is very challenging for me to find someone who I can trust with my little pup because he is very high alert and can be difficult to handle. Nadia was extremely patient with my feisty pup, and was even kind enough to accommodate to my schedule. Can't recommend enough!”

About: I have a 9 year old French bulldog that I’ve had since he was a puppy. He’s a very needy dog and so I’m used to giving a lot of attention, walks, medicines, special diets etc… I am working from home just a couple hours a day, and those hours are flexible. I have a lot of time to care for dogs that need a lot of attention. I have a large fenced in backyard with real grass. My French bulldog is very chill and calm and loves other dogs. I take him on multiple walks a day. I also have a dog stroller to take elderly dogs on walks if needed. Dogs are allowed on the furniture, and I have dogs stairs and ramps for the furniture.

About: I’ve taken care of family friends and neighbors pets for years! I have watched every animal - from dogs and cats to lizards and snakes, and love every moment of it. I’ve always had pets at home and I love fur-babies more than anything! I have trained 3 puppies and around 5 kittens! I am currently a college student, but with my schedule, I am able for walking or check-ins almost any time of the week! Weekends are completely open besides Sundays 12-2. I always ensure that my clients homes look better than I found it! I understand everyone has a different way of raising their animals and I respect any training or specifications given to me. I am comfortable with just about anything for pets!

“Alicia was great. I was nervous about leaving my puppy for the first time but she was reassuring. She had a separate area for her and communicated clearly about her visit. We appreciated the photos and her feedback on the visit when we picked her up.”

“Olivia is fantastic. She is kind, gentle and nurturing! Our girl had a blast and knocked out on the car ride home. She is a happy pup today thanks to Olivia and our new doggo friends! Would 100% recommend and use Olivia again! Thank you for loving her as your own!”

About: I have had a dog since I was a child and have cared for all types of dogs, from a mini dachshund to a great dane mix. I have experience with shelters dogs, dogs with anxiety, and service dogs. I currently work from home and do not have a set schedule. I do have family dinners sunday nights and am typically gone around 4 hours but otherwise, I am typically only gone an hour or so every few days. I live in an apartment but love taking the dogs out on long walks every few hours. I have a retired service dog who will keep your dog company.

“Loki really enjoyed his stay with Brittany on 5.21.26. Thank you so much for being able to sit with him at the last minute. I will definitely reach out again if I need someone to watch him again.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 25 years, and in our home, dogs are truly family. We love, play with, and spoil them! Our friendly doodle mix adores having canine companions around, making your pup feel right at home. Whether it’s for cuddles, playtime, or a calm, loving environment—your dog will be in great hands with us. I work full-time, but the vast majority of my work is done from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day for pet care. I’m also home every evening, so pets in my care get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship around the clock. I have a fully fenced yard and one friendly, four-year-old doodle mix. I do require a meet and greet to ensure the dogs get along well. My dog has been professionally trained, attended doggy daycare, and is well-socialized with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Creating a safe, happy environment for everyone is my top priority.

“Maria was very attentive and caring. My high-maintenance 4 month old puppy had a great time!”

About: I took first aid for cats and dogs at the American Red Cross.I have had dogs for numerous years and taken care of some who weren't mine. Bobby was a sweetheart who I picked up on a highway. He was estimated to be 14 years old. I called AC and found his owner. He relinquished Bobby to me and, poor guy, developed cancer a few years later. Very hard. If the heat isn't too bad, we normally go for walks and spend time outside. There is a large grassy area and dog park across the street. I have large dog crates if anyone needs alone time. Also if dogs and cats need to be separate, they can go in other rooms.

About: I have taken care of my 100% dependent grandfather and I have had many dogs of different breeds which I have taken care of with a lot of love and responsibility 🥰 Currently I don't work and study online so I'm flexible to all kinds of schedules. I will be 100% available whenever you need my help 🥰 I prefer to take care of them in their own house since it is more comfortable for pets to be in their territory and quiet, but also my house is a pleasant and safe environment for their pets.

About: From daily walks and playtime to feeding, grooming, and giving plenty of affection, I understand the responsibility and patience it takes to keep pets happy and healthy. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll give your dog the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. Whether it’s keeping up with energetic pups or making sure older dogs are comfortable and cared for, I’m here to help your pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work a regular 8–4 schedule, which leaves my evenings and nights free for pet care. That makes me a great fit for evening walks, playtime, feeding, or even overnight sitting. Since I’m home after work, I can give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and care when they need it most. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide care in my gated home with a big yard, giving dogs plenty of secure space to play, explore, and relax. I maintain a clean, calm environment and always supervise pets to ensure they’re happy and safe. You can trust that your furry friend will feel right at home while in my care.
