Doggy Day Care In Portage Park

“Arlene is great! Benny was so excited to return to her house. She went out of her way to make pickup easy - taking him to the park, where we were able to meet her. Great service and care.”

“My shy, anxious beagle had a blast at Valerie’s, didn’t want to come home! I appreciated Valerie’s patience, flexibility, and ability to be both laidback with my pup while also giving her space to indulge her zoomies. Plus, we got lots of pics throughout the day. Thanks for a wonderful stay, will use again!”

“Sasha is great! I have an unpredictable work schedule that she was totally willing to accommodate. She has a great personality and is a good pack leader for the dogs. Her house is an inviting environment with a nice backyard for the pups to run around in.”

“Stacey was great with Zoey! She took great care of her and kept in contact with us since it was our first time leaving her with Stacey. Thank you so much!”

“David was great with our pup Chase. He's usually very shy and slow to warm up to people. However he really took to David and Pinto super quickly. David shared pictures and videos of them playing and sleeping throughout the day. I would definitely recommend him for any dogsitting needs.”

“Laura is absolutely amazing! She’s so friendly and welcoming, and my partner and I instantly felt comfortable leaving our dog with her. She invited us into her home, and our pup was immediately curious and happy to be there. Laura took the time to explain how she cares for dogs and kept us updated throughout the day, which we really appreciated. When we picked him up, he was tired and happy—a sure sign he had an awesome time! We can’t recommend Laura enough.”

About: Caring for dogs is something I’ve enjoyed doing for as long as I can remember. I grew up around animals in Puerto Rico and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with a companion animals care certificate, giving me both hands-on experience and formal knowledge in companion animal care. I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and doggy day care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I tailor my care to fit their needs and routine. I’m also comfortable with senior dog care, medications, and basic training reinforcement. Since I work from home full-time, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. My goal is always to make dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. I also live with My best friend and roommate, Erica, who is also trained and able to care for your pup. So, if you board with us, you can rest assure your pet will have the best care 24/7! I work from home full-time, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home with the pet throughout the day and can provide consistent supervision, attention, walks, feeding, and playtime. Since I live close to Portage Park, I’m also able to give dogs plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation through walks, outdoor time, and their favorite games. Whether that’s fetch, tug-of-war, or just exploring the park, my top priority is to make them happy. On the rare occasions I do step out, my roommate is home and helps ensure your pet is never left alone. In caring for pets, my approach is rooted in both professionalism and personalized attention. Depending on the service offered, the care provided may vary. However, one constant remains: meticulous adherence to instructions and a commitment to the well-being of every furry friend entrusted to my care. I take a lot of pride in my ability to follow instructions diligently, ensuring that your pet receives tailored care according to your explicit preferences. Whether it's feeding schedules, medication administration, or specific exercise routines, I prioritize clear communication and meticulous execution. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are my utmost priorities.

“River loved her doggy day care stay with Brian. The meet and greet before was helpful and greatly appreciated as well. Would highly recommend Brian to take great care of your fur baby!”

“Super responsive and flexible as I booked a day care for my cat during my moving day. They even dropped my cat off after which was so helpful after a long day! Their dogs and kids were super playful with Josie who was a little nervous at first. Definitely would book again!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years. I treat my puppy like a family member and will do the same for yours! Since they are family they are allowed on the couch and will get plenty of belly rubs & cuddles. I work from home. My pup and I go for a walk through the park or around the neighborhood first thing at 7:30 am and then usually breakfast is serve. We go back four our next walk at 11:30/12 then we go out again after work at 5pm. This one’s a longer walk and we follow that with play time and dinner. :) That is followed by cuddles. I will send you super cute updated images so you can see what fun your fur baby is up to :) . I also have a fenced small backyard incase your pup wants to do some light leash free jogging with me.

“I am new to this city and have an overprotective dog who is adjusting to city life. Jamie took very good care of him and kept me informed to help reduce my anxiety. I definitely plan to leave Rocket with Jamie for more time in the future.”

“It was Sunny’s first time at a sitter’s place and she was super nervous when we got there. Jonathon was great with her and she came back as happy as can be. Definitely will keep using Jonathon’s services. And he let us book last minute. Thank you!”

“Peter was AMAZING with my puppy, Milo! I can't say enough good things about Peter and the care he provided for my pup! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this was more than just a daycare — it was a second home. Milo immediately felt comfortable, and I loved how welcoming and knowledgeable Peter was during drop-off. Throughout the day, I received regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. It’s obvious that Peter genuinely loves dogs and treats each one like their own. Milo came home happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way after a full day of playing with Peter’s dog, Khalil! The space was clean, safe, and dog-friendly, and it’s clear that Peter pays close attention to each dog's personality and needs. We’ve officially found our go-to daycare! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Milo! I’m so happy to have found a daycare provider I can trust. 🐶💛”

About: My schedule won’t allow me to book far in advance. So if you’re looking for a last minute dog sitter feel free to reach out to me to check my availability. I have experience working with large breeds and bully breeds as well as the little guys that sometimes just want to be carried. Your dog will get plenty of exercise and all of my love and attention. I have a goofy fun-loving 2yr old boxer, who loves to play in our backyard. He is well socialized with all types of dogs. He knows how to adjust his play level to make all dogs feel comfortable staying at our house. I freelance in the film industry and often have time off in between projects. So I would be home with your dog for their entire stay. I have a safe and secure fenced in backyard. My house is super pet friendly. They will be free to roam around the house, choose one of the many dog beds or curl up on the couch with me. I also have dog crates and gates to keep them contained if that is what they are used to.

“Ruth has been very communicative & we could tell that she & her husband both care about the dogs she watches. Her home has a large dog run & Chase was returned to us stress free at pickup. I will be rebooking since we had such a good experience!”

“Andrea and Jerome are great! They are easy to work with, and receptive to any requests. We can tell Cody enjoys his time with them, since it’s difficult to get him to leave! We would definitely book again.”

“Sarah and Walter have been such rockstars in helping us take care of our pup after his surgery! They are super responsive and flexible and great with taking care of special needs dogs. We are so appreciative of all of their work, and would definitely recommend them!”
