Doggy Day Care in Springfield

“This was our first visit with Deanne. Doggy Daycare was a hit! Cash was happy when I picked him up. He was sound asleep on the couch within a 1/2 of getting home. I think he had a busy day with his new lil buddy!”

About: Hello, my name is Sabrina and I love dogs! I have 25 years of pet care experience. My career began in 2001 when I first became an Accredited Pet Trainer. Throughout the years I've obtained several certifications in pet care, pet training, behavior modification and CPR. Although I no longer train I do enjoy spending time with our furry guests. We recently moved to a 5 acre farm and our guests love to explore the large fenced-in areas. Each stay includes a private fenced in yard, daily walks and plenty of indoor and outdoor play. We use treats, praise, and toys to encourage a positive environment. We begin our day at 0500 with a potty break and breakfast for our guests; followed by yard time. Walks, treats, and playtime are incorporated into our everyday routine. Our friends are kept busy and happy throughout the day. Building trust is my priority. I offer lots of praise, treats and playtime with our guests. Large indoor and outdoor enclosed areas for their safety. Always accompanied and never left unattended while outside. Furthermore: I am Background Verified twice a year

About: I am a certified veterinary technician with an additional certification in massage and rehab therapy. I have been working in the animal care industry since 2012 and have worked with and trained dogs for a long as I can remember. I offer expert level care for medically complex cases and a fear free approach for anxious pets. I have experience working with anxious and aggressive dogs. Being crate trained is a must and I ask that you bring your pet's crate with you for overnight stays. Self- employed with a flexible schedule, I have all day availability and can also do early morning and late evening drop ins. I only take 1 client at a time so that I can give your pet's the care and attention they deserve. Because I only take one client at a time, I can offer a stress free stay for animal aggressive pets. All animals will be directly supervised or crated while boarding

About: Welcome to your furry friends pawcation retreat in Eagle, WI. Pet sitting, grooming and showing dogs is my full time passion (can't say job because I love what I do) not just extra income. I take every furry guest seriously and treat them like my own. My home is a retreat for your dog to feel comfortable, safe, relaxed all while enjoying the joys of being in a dog friendly home. I have been caring and showing dogs for over 30 years. My home has a large 6’ high fenced in area with doggie windows for potty breaks. I always go outside with them to supervise as it's just the routine that I do with my own dogs. I only cater to a few dogs at a time and that allows more attention for our furry friends. They can hang out with our resident Field Spaniel furkids, Starlet, Russell, KC and Trixie. Some dogs are quick to play and explore, while some dogs are shy and require more attention. I love all dogs and adapt my approach to your dog’s personality. If you see I am not available for certain dates, but still want service if I can rearrange I try to accommodate. In some examples of accommodation it has turned from pet sitting needs in the sitters home into me traveling to your house instead. ~~~ Check out my review stay photos to have a glimpse of the spoiling that your dog(s) will receive in my care. ~~~ In addition, I match the activities to each furry guest while they are boarding and that includes pets with special needs. Each day or overnights may include dog walks, car rides, playing fetch and simply being a house dog lounging on the couch. Additional services offered include pampering in the doggie spa or focusing on dog training sessions. Think of our home as a pet friendly home for pet sitting and dog grooming. We want all the dogs to feel as if they are home while you are away having fun. Dogs that work well in my home: I do not accept high energy dogs or dogs that are too large to handle. I prefer dogs that are calmer and dogs that can be left loose and do not mark on furniture. Please be honest when making a doggie overnight reservation. I understand dog behavior and know what works well with my own dogs. About my yard: 6’ high fenced yard with doggie windows for the dogs to see outside the yard. (Please note some of the photos seen are from an older house and not my newer resident in Eagle, Wi) Why I love dog sitting: I have been caring for dogs for over 30 years. My house and energy is very calming. My house is a retreat for dogs while the parents are away on vacations. I look forward to having your furkid(s) stay with me soon! Sincerely, Kylie I currently stay at home full time and can dedicate all my time as needed to our furry guests. They are my number one focus! Typical day can be waking up early (between 4am and 6am to let out and feed), all the fun stuff in between and bedtime is around 8pm due to my significant others schedule. 6’ high fenced yard with doggie windows for the dogs to see outside the yard. In addition, I have a safety plan in place because the dogs come first before my needs.

“Rylee had a great day with Laurie. Lots of personal attention and a long walk. SO glad to have connected with Laurie!”

“Danielle is AWESOME!! Roxy had a great time with her and her dogs and kids are amazing! She sent me photos during the day and let me know how Roxy was doing. She takes her for nice walks and gets plenty of exercise and fun. I'm super happy with the care Roxy gets at her house. Thanks!”

About: I'm an energetic person who enjoys being with dogs. I pay close attention to detail and I am always willing to engage in activities to keep your dog busy but I also know dogs need some down time as well. I stay at home full-time so I will be able to provide plenty of potty breaks and play time in the backyard. I am currently a dog daddy to a Chihuahua named Lucy. She'll be 1 years old on November 1st. She's very loving and friendly dog. I have 7 years of experience. I don't mind taking your dogs or puppies out for walks instead of just staying in the backyard. I will take good care of your beloved pets as if they were my very own.

About: Hi! I'm Ali, dog lover and dog mom turned human mom. I offer a warm, loving, and safe home away from home for your fur babies. I have decades of experience, both owning and dog sitting dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. From teacup Yorkie puppies to senior greyhounds, I have the experience to ensure your pet is lovingly cared for. I work from home so your dog will have me there to care for them 24/7. And no couch is off limits (unless it is a rule in your home, in which case I'll snuggle them on the floor). I understand the anxiety of leaving a beloved family member in the care of someone else so I am always happy to send updates and pictures as often as you'd like. My senior hound recently passed so I currently have zero pets in the home. I do still have everything a pet would need during their stay, you just provide the necessities and their favorite comfort items. I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old so all dogs must be good with children. I work from home so your pet will have someone to care for them 24/7. I follow your rules and schedule to ensure a seamless transition from your home to mine. I have a large yard and sturdy privacy fence. There are quite a few stairs in my home so please keep that in mind if your pup is older or has issues going up/down stairs.

“Jill is awesome! So down to earth and just the sweetest lady you’ll meet! Was very accommodating last minute for me so I could make it to my plans and my dogs felt right at home at her house! Would recommend her to anyone!!”

About: I have only had my own dogs to engage with but I love to teach them new tricks and help them learn. I am also not afraid to get to know shy pets I would be available after 4:30pm weekends but available all weekend. I work around having other jobs but am open those parts of the day I feed them, walk them, and teach them new tricks. I also love to play with my dogs to get the energy out of them

“Our dog had a great time playing with Kim & Greg’s dogs! They really care about animals and asked a lot of questions so they knew how to best care for our pup.”

About: Hello! My name is Dallas! I am a huge animal lover, and would love to care for your furry family member! I have always loved all animals and have been in this field for over 15 years. A little about me: I was a volunteer at the SPCA for a few years, back when I lived in Nevada when I was in high school. Then I worked for a 24/7 doggy day care facility for about two years in Lake Tahoe after I moved there with my husband Adam. I worked there until I started my own pet sitting/walking company. when My husband Adam owned a wooden surfboard shop there, while I started my own pet sitting/dog walking company. In 2016, we decided to travel around with our dog Myles for a bit, and converted a school bus into an RV! We both own our own companies so we’ve always been able to work remote and did the conversion on our own. Eventually we ended up in Nashville and did two house flips while still running our craft companies. In 2020 my husband and I moved back here to Illinois where Adam is from, to help his elderly parents, and the family property. We just finished converting the barn into a homestead while we are here, and just celebrated our wedding in the property in September. Sadly our dog Myles passed away peacefully last October at the age of almost 17. While my husband and I greatly miss having a dog or pet around, we’re just not quite ready to get another dog yet and we figured Rover would be perfect. I’ve had a long list of pets throughout my life, from small Pomeranians to a large PitBull lab mix and multiple cats, I haven’t met an animal I didn’t love yet haha. Adam and I live on 8 acres with plenty of room to run and play. Our home is very clean, and also very dog friendly aka we love couch snuggles! Because Adam and I both operate our own businesses, we both have separate shops built in the house so we have the luxury of getting to stay home while still working, making our schedules very open and flexible! My husband and I both own our own businesses and have our shops on our property, so we both work from home every day with a completely open and flexible schedule! I care for every pet as if they were my own, while following and respecting the owners directions and or specific requests! We have a large pet friendly house that is very empty after our lab mix passed away in fall, and for the first time we are completely pet-less. We live on 8 acres in the country with tons of space to run and play and poop and have tons of fun. We are fenced in property but because the property is so big we keep our visitors on leashes. Our home is very clean but also very dog friendly (aka we love couch snuggles and don’t mind sharing our bed haha)

“Can’t thank Christina enough for coming through on such short notice! Blair had the best time and was the happiest pup with her. So grateful to have someone I can trust with my baby, knowing she’s in great hands and having a fun day.”

About: I have worked on and off at a local vet office as a kennel technician. I am taking online classes to become a vet assistant. I am a stay at home mom of older kids and several dogs. My dogs are friendly to other dog friendly dogs. I am starting to groom dogs in my home. I am able to give dogs baths before they go home. I have flexible hours. But I do groom dogs in my home part time. Most days I am home to be with the dogs. I have farm animals that I take care of twice a day. I will have the dogs in their crates so everyone is safe when I am not able to watch them. I have a fenced in yard. But will take your dog out on a leash to go potty. I have 6 dogs that will play with your fur baby. During the day I do put everyone in a crate from 12-1 to give everyone a little break. But usually I do not have my dogs in a crate during the day. At night my dogs are in their crates from 9:30/10:00 PM- 7:30 AM. I let all the dogs go out to potty before they are put to bed. I wash all soiled bedding right away. We do have potty pads out around our house if needed. We have several gates up to be able to keep a closer eye on all dogs. We are able to feed dogs in different areas so there is no food aggression.

About: I've had multiple dogs at a time since birth, coming from a family who adores dogs more than anything. Your dog will be in great hands:) I'm currently taking a short break from car detailing durning the cold months. So I'm available 7 days a week, from 6:00am to 10:00pm, plus overnight:) I have a full acre of land for my dog to play around in, he's a super friendly Alaskan malamute desperate for some friends :)

“Was super nervous to use this service but Kathleen assured me all would be well and kept my mind at ease anytime I asked for some assurance that my pet was doing okay. Super friendly and my puppy took to her immediately (something I had not seen before honestly). Tagged on a bath and nail trim to the stay and my pet was smelling super fresh all the way home. 10/10 would recommend.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments. I’ve fostered dogs, which gave me experience helping animals adjust to new environments, build trust, and follow routines. I’ve also cared for other people’s dogs for extended periods, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. I work from home full-time, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day—no long periods left alone. I provide a safe and attentive environment for dogs in my home. I own my home, which allows me to create a stable and comfortable space for pets. Dogs in my care are always taken out on leash for regular potty breaks and enjoyable walks. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention based on their individual needs and energy level. I also have a friendly, well-socialized dog who is used to being around other dogs thanks to our past fostering experience. Whether your dog loves relaxing indoors or staying active with walks, I do my best to match their routine so they feel happy and at home.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 15, I have been wanting a dog of my own however I need to save up! So I decided to get my fair share of pets I can watch yours! I am a student at UW-Whitewater so I am free most of the day with plenty of breaks for walks for you pet! On occasion I will be out of town on the weekend but very rarely. I have a fenced yard with no pets or children in the house, I have been watching animals since i was a child and am very confident with animals of all sizes!
