Doggy Day Care in Wauconda

“My puppy Squid had a great first stay at Sarah's and was really tired after playing with Sarah's dog Carl all day. I think Squid will be looking forward to his new hangout while I'm at work! Thanks Sarah!”

“Debbie has a lovely home and my dear pups were treated like honored guests. The meet and greet let me know Jasper and Millie were in good hands. Debbie’s entire family welcomed our dogs. I felt like I had an entire team to meet their needs with Debbie as captain. I appreciated the photos and texts to know our family pets were In good hands. It was a terrific experience and gives me great peace to know I can work late or plan an adventure and our beautiful pups will be in loving hands. Very grateful.”

“Great experience, definitely would book again, thank you!”

“Joy is a wonderful person. She is great with my pup Sadie, she’s very kind and understanding. Sadie is always excited to see her. Joy is always keeping me updated and sending pictures throughout the day and letting me know how Sadie is doing, which I really appreciate. She even teaches Sadie new tricks and is always down to work on making Sadie a better listener. Overall Joy is a great choice for your pup”

“Elisa is the sweetest most thoughtful sitter! She provided a safe and loving home for my little dog and sent me the cutest pictures regularly throughout the day. She is the absolute best if you are looking for a deeply kind and gentle soul to create a safe place for your little one. Yay Elisa! ( and her sweet dog Fiona)”

“Carla is the best! My dog has the best time with her & her family. Well cared for. Lots of play time. Carla is very mindful about following our dog's routine. Sends photos & videos throughout the stay with her. It's so comforting to find someone that cares for our dog so much.”

“Sariah has a natural awareness of the needs for animals. Dogs genuinely bond quickly with Sariah’s calm, patient demeanor. All dogs love Sariah and her kids. Sariah’s children are also getting a lesson on caring for animals. The family is able to bond with long walks and playful days. I would highly recommend Sariah for dog sitting.”

“If you choose Barb to care for your pets, you've hit the Rover jackpot! She is the most positive, trustworthy, and loving person that you could ever know.

About: We welcome dogs into our home who get along with children and other dogs and who are housetrained. We understand that the occasional accident can happen and that's okay. If your dog habitually goes to the bathroom inside the house or their crate, we cannot take them. I've been around dogs since age 8 and I've owned my own dogs for 12 years. I have 2 medium labradoodles that are super friendly and would love to host other dogs at our home. I have experience with puppy training and senior dog care. Your dog will be welcomed into our family during their stay and they will have run of the house (unless you prefer otherwise). We are crate-free unless your dog needs to be crated for any reason that you specify. Your dog will feel right at home with us while you are away. I know first-hand what it's like to worry about my dogs while I'm away from them and I'm happy to send you updates and pictures of your pet while you're gone. I am a stay-at-home parent who works part-time from home. I will be here with your pet the entire time with only short errands away from the home. We have an invisible fence in our yard for our two dogs. I will happily take guest dogs out on a leash and walk them for extra exercise. They will have run of the house (unless you prefer otherwise) and will be welcomed into our family during their stay. Your pet will also have the companionship of our two dogs that have passed temperament tests at multiple dog daycares in the area. We have 2 children: ages 4 and 8. Your dog must be comfortable with young children.

About: My name is Anna, I’m a mom of two and lifelong animal lover. Have experience caring for dogs of all age, size, breed. All animals have very different personalities and needs. Experience with elderly, special needs, and medication administration. I understand how crazy busy life can get and sometimes you need a little help at home, that’s where I come in! At work and thinking of your pup? I’ll check in and let you know how thier day is going, including a picture/video of how happy they are! Going on vacation? I’ll make sure your dog gets the attention they crave. Love and care is what I can provide, just let me know how I can help! Feel free to ask me questions and fill me in on how your family is in need of assistance! My schedule is mostly open. Just quick trips for school drop offs, which if your pup likes car rides they are welcome to come! I work from home. I respect privacy and preference. I understand how particular animals can be and will always follow the owners lead on what to do/not to do.

“Brooke is phenomenal!! She truly goes above and beyond. Brooke is great with Bessie, she is very kind and great to deal with, and we could not be happier with the care she is giving!”

“David has been caring for my dog for years. My dog is now a senior dog and has food sensitivities/stomach issues and has developed separation anxiety post-pandemic, but I always feel comfortable leaving her with David. He also has 2 adorable dogs that get along well with my dog.”

“Angela is responsible and caring animal lover. She has 4 beautiful dogs of her own who have tons of energy, so she can handle anything you throw at her. She has been a loving mom to two full litters of puppies, including mine before he came home with me. I would trust her with my baby's life, and I promise you can too!”

About: I have a 7 year old Lab and work from home. She is great around other dogs and we can get a little bored over here. I’d love to help anyway I can with your doggo’s needs Working from home allows me to be extremely accommodating for pet care. Whether it be keeping feeding schedules or bathroom breaks- we got it covered here. I have a long lead that dogs go on to go outside. My yard’s green space is about the size of a two car garage and includes a deck dogs can lay on. They are welcome to use the couches and windows at their discretion while inside as well

“We had our Pup stay for daycare this time, and it was another successful stay. I can really tell that he loves going over to their house, and he loves Gladiola. We are planning on having several more stays booked for when we go out of town.”
