Doggy Day Care in Winnebago

About: As a former 4-H participant, I not only showed dogs but also engaged in comprehensive animal care and training programs. This background has equipped me with the skills to handle pets with patience, precision, and empathy. Whether your furry friend is a high-energy puppy or a senior dog with special needs, I am adept at creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for them. I work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me ample time to provide dedicated and attentive care to your pets. Open to drop ins to overnight stay or boarding. Services Offered: Dog Walking: Energetic and engaging walks tailored to your dog's pace and stamina. Pet Sitting: Reliable in-home care, ensuring your pet’s routine is maintained just as you would. Drop-In Visits: Perfect for pets who need a quick check-in, feeding, or some playtime. House Sitting: I can look after your pets overnight in your home, providing peace of mind while you're away.

“We had a busy day today and Jennifer was more than gracious to keep the pups all day. She picked up at 530 and we didn’t make it home for her to drop them off until 7pm! She was amazing to keep them taken care of all day. My Stella’s anxiety is getting better everyday that’s she goes there and sees how wonderful It is to be there with her which is fantastic. We could Not ask for anything more!!”

“It’s always a little nerve wracking to leave your animals with a sitter, especially when you own two little chihuahua mixes and the sitters have two large German shepherds! But Chris and Dan were wonderful and we agreed to a “meet and greet” prior to our booking. All dogs got along and I received photo/video updates on their shenanigans from running the backyard to being cuddled up on the couch! Now I have two VERY tired out pups and peace of mind knowing I can book more fun for them in the future!”

“Claudette was very friendly and has a one doggie at a time accommodation. Love the area they are in! Would definitely comeback for more doggie sitting! 5 stars!”

About: What is life without pets? I have always had at least 1-2 dogs living with me. I dog sit for family and friends frequently and love giving animals the attention they deserve when their human is away. I work from home. I typically am on the clock from 8-4pm. I am lucky to have a job that allows flexibility as needed. I work next to my back door with views of the dogs outside if I'm inside at my desk. This also helps me pay attention to see if they need to go outside. I also take breaks to just visit with my dog and typically take him on lunch walks (if your pet is a good walker, let me know and they can come along!) I'm willing to try and accomodate your needs, just ask! I will only take house trained animals with no accidents in the past 6 months! I also cannot accept toy aggressive/possessive dogs. They also need to have been socialized with other dogs (preferably cats too). Please be courteous to your sitters and let them know of any behavior issues so we can keep all animals safe! I have a fenced in yard and a Bernedoodle named Bennie (he is socialized well and very docile) who would love to share his home with a play mate! I also have one cat who can be separated in her own sanctuary if needed. I treat animals like family. I believe they all have their own personalities and feelings that require individualized care.

“Jacqueline and her family take such good care of my dog! They are so patient working with some of his anxious behaviors. Couldn't be happier!”

“Hanna watched my Kira today. She sent me pictures and assured me that Kira was having a great time. She has a nice fenced yard and her dog Sadie is so sweet! Sadie also has the same amount of energy as my dog, they played well together. Kira is wiped out from today’s play day and can’t wait to see Hanna and Sadie again next week!”

“Our Teddy made good friends with Brynn and her family! He had fun snacks and took a nice long nap when he came home so I know he must have had a good play day! I would leave teddy with Brynn again, absolutely!.”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for 8 years to a hairless miniature pincher named Otis! We have just added three new cats to the family Ollie, Pepper, and Buster. Over the years I’ve helped friends and family by watching their dogs ranging from toy to large breed. I look forward to meeting your pup very soon! I currently work from home a majority of the time giving me the opportunity to be hands on with your dog and available for play and potty breaks. If I do need to go to the office it is located in Rockford and typically those are quick trips in and out! If at my house I have my dog Otis and kitties Ollie, Pepper, and Buster to keep your dog company and plenty of beds to lay around on. I live very close to a nice park with a great walking trail. At your home I will be very respectful of your house as well as your dog’s needs and routine!

I make homemade treat’s and I treat them like our own family’s fur baby.

“Lauren was so good to our dog who is shy but super friendly. She made him feel at home and played his favorite game of fetch. He was tired when he came home and he slept the entire night. We will definitely use Lauren again. She even sent a little video of him to us.”

About: I've had dogs all my life and also fostered 11 dogs thru Good Shepherds Rescue.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs every since I was a kid I grew up on a dog farm so they became a second family to me. It works pretty well I’m free most of the time now that Im retired.Im free Monday through Friday and on weekends.I can do anytime of the day. I have a fanced yard and I have a dog of my own that is very friendly to others and love to play and she can keeep your babies company as well.

About: I currently have two small dogs who I take care of full time. I’ve had them for 2 years now. I love playing with dogs, rubbing their tummy, or just hanging out with them. If your dog has separation anxiety that will not be a problem. One of my dogs is the same way and I wouldn’t mind being there full time for your dog. Pet care fits into my schedule perfectly because most of my days consist of being home taking care of my two small dogs. I’m also a nursing student so it helps that I have a lot of time after studying to play with the dogs/puppies. I have a fenced yard. It is pretty big. In order to keep my dogs safe I always make sure doors are closed before letting them out and as a special precaution I like to add an AirTag to their collars in case anything happens (has not happened yet but it’s better to be safe than sorry).

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a baby, and they are a huge part of my family. I also have experience dog and cat sitting for family friends and neighbors, as well as dog walking. I love animals and am looking forward to helping pet owners in my community! I am new to the area and looking for summer work, so I have a very open schedule! I am open all week at various times, so just communicate with me to find a time that works best. I will treat your home with care and take care of your pet like it is my own! I can house an animal at my house for a day, however I do not have a crate or dog bed.

About: Get ready for your dog to be spoiled! I am the owner of a 7 acre mini Farm home! Your dogs will absolutely love it here! There are lots of trees around and beautiful grass for them to run around in here. I have always been a natural when it comes to pets, but specifically I love dogs, especially really big dogs! I have had dogs my entire life and I now have a small Shepherd Lab mix at home. I make it a priority to make sure that your dogs are well taken care of, well fed, have lots of fun, and get lots of exercise! So it's more than just a regular boarding/walking experience. Also I am a bit of a photographer so plan on getting lots of beautiful pictures of your dog on the farm from me during their visit. I also have two older daughters who are absolute animal lovers and will play and pet your pups consistently while they are here. I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets, I an usually always home unless I am on a call for thr fire station. My land is not fully fenced off so If need be I will have to walk pups on a leash which is not a problem at all.
