Dog Sitters in Lombard, IL

Oh my god I love this place! I had called another groomer place for 2 days and never got back to me and I needed my baby girls nails trim (my sweet loving chihuahua) I was desperate because she needed it so bad, I google places and four paws caught my attention plus I live 2 minutes from it and decided to call…the lady over the phone told me I can just walk in (which is amazing!! For someone like me that has a crazy schedule for errands) I go in and wow, I’m in. Awe, they welcome me and my baby girl and took her for her nail trim and let me tell you, Samantha is amazing 🤩 she took great care of my baby. I’m super happy with the service and staff. Plus they accept many type of payments which is amazing! Definitely recommending this place to everyone I know and I’ll be coming back!

We needed last-minute daycare for our two dogs during our child's first birthday party, and Denise and her team went above and beyond to accommodate us. They provided excellent care, ensuring our dogs were happy and well-looked after. We truly appreciate the flexibility and peace of mind they gave us. Thank you so much!

Little did I know that when I met Denise and her team back in 2005 that she would become part of our family. She has helped me raise, yes, I said raise 2 of my dogs so far. The best part about Denise from Four Paws, is that she honestly loves every single animal that she encounters. I used to feel so bad when we had to board my dog, but then I realized my dogs were living their best life and getting lots of love and attention when they stayed with Denise while we were gone. The other amazing perk is that Denise used to be a vet tech, I have always felt comfort knowing she had the skills to additionally take care of my pets if ever needed. I want to leave you with one last story to paint a picture of just how compassionate Denise and Four Paws Pet Sitting is, when it was time for my late dog Vegas to cross of the Rainbow bridge, all of the team members that walked Vegas either came over to say one last goodbye or send a beautiful message to let me know how special of a dog he was. Denise was there for me when I had to make the decision, and even came a month later when we had a little ceremony to properly bless my sweet boy. There is really nothing she wouldn’t do for the pets or the pets’ owners. I highly recommend Four Paws Pet Sitting for all services they provide, they are amazing people, and will treat your pets, better than most humans.

I was nervous to board my dogs for the first time, but when I dropped them off they seemed immediately comfortable with the staff and the environment. Denise made me feel so much better by updating me on how they were doing. The portal with pictures and report cards also helped me know my babies were ok. We had a great experience her. Prices were reasonable and the staff I interacted with were friendly and you could tell they care about your pets. Definitely recommend.

Samantha is the absolute best! Our girl Luna can’t stand water but she still seems to get excited for her grooming appointment. Just nice to have someone friendly you know you can trust that goes above and beyond. 100% recommend!

I dog loves 4paws! unlike previous daycares, she want be there. Denise and Paul are great with her even though our dog has a lot of energy.

My pup and I both love Four Paws Pet Services. This business is run by people who genuinely understand dogs. They know your pet by name and disposition and tailor your dog's experience to their personality. For the playcare/daycare experience, the dogs have access to agility play equipment, a securely fenced backyard, a sectional couch to lounge on (lol!), and recently a kiddie pool to splash in. The groomers are experienced, talented, and kind to the pups. We had a series of lessons with their trainer, and my large dog and I now both enjoy our walks. This is a business run by people who know and love dogs. I would highly recommend Four Paws Pet Services.

2 of our pups go to daycare here, and they love it. They are both so well looked after. Everyone who works there is very nice and approachable.

Our dog Clark loves going to Four Paws! Great staff and always a great experience. We’ve done grooming, day care and a longer boarding stay. Highly recommend!

Denise and Paul are an amazing duo! I was looking for a place for my dog Coco to get some exercise and interact with other dogs a couple days a week that would be easy, convenient and flexible. I am so thankful to the Four Paws team! They come to my house to pick up and drop off and it is always around my schedule. They are so friendly and service is top notch. You can see they really care about what they do. My dog can't get out of the house soon enough when they arrive at the door and she comes home tired from playing all day! I highly recommend Four Paws!

Before we even brought our high energy Aussie Gracie home we knew we would need extra help to keep her stimulated and happy. What we didn’t account for was how shy and anxious she would be. I can’t even imagine what our lives would look like 3 years later if we did not walk through the doors of this amazing facility. With their love and care, Gracie has learned skills to be a social and confident young lady! The level of care is on a higher level than one would ever expect from a dog daycare. Good Dog co. is so much more than daycare. I encourage everyone to see for themselves what a fantastic place for dogs to be dogs through love and learning.

My dog has been a part of this family for over two years. During that time she has been loved by all staff members, accepted and her program tailored to her individual needs. Good Dog Co. has it all- friendly staff, flexibility and boarding when you need a safe place for your fur baby. I would highly recommend if you are in the area! Their state of the art facility and company ethics also make this such a special place for all dogs, and their humans.

I CANNOT recommend Four Paws enough. We brought our dog to them for daycare and just recently boarded her with them for a few nights - I cannot begin to say how at ease I felt knowing she was in such good hands. The staff goes above and beyond to give the dogs the best time, and I love that they update with pictures and texts to us on how her day went! I would recommend them to anyone, I love how they love on our dog so well :)

Good Dog, where everyone knows your dogs name! Smaller groups within daycare allows for placement of your dog with others of similar temperament and play style. Good Dog has been a trusted partner for my dogs since 2016 and they are the best of the best. Love this crew!

We love Good Dog Co.! They take great care of my dog, he absolutely LOVES going twice a week to play with other dogs and get so much attention from the humans! They post pictures of all the daycare dogs daily, it is so fun to see all the dogs enjoying themselves! I highly recommend Good Dog Co.!

I came across Four Paws on Google when searching for the best daycare for my puppy. I am a crazy dog mom and also own a pet care service myself so I was VERY picky when it came to who I will trust with my baby. We decided to sign Kiyo up for the 15 day Day Training Program and it was the best decision we have ever made for him. He not only fell in love with all of Four Paws but he has came a long way as a very high active puppy to a very well behaved young man. After his training program, we decided to sign him up for continuous Day School. Four Paws is the only place I have ever seen offer this service and we absolutely love it. Since he is high energy, he not only needs physical exercise but also a ton of mental stimulation which is why Day School is perfect for him. He absolutely LOVES going to “school” and loves all of his Four Paws people friends. Grooming is also a plus! One stop shop for us and since Kiyo has already associated Four Paws with fun, he doesn’t mind getting groomed. Danielle is a great owner, very responsive, and genuinely cares about our baby. We couldn’t ask for a better place to send Kiyo.

We love Good Dog! My fur-baby has been going to daycare since we got her. She is not only loved all day by all of her pack, but she has training. They have a large outdoor space to run and play. Thank you!

My 1 year old yellow lab absolutely loves going to school at Good Dog co! The staff is so friendly and you can tell they care for your pup like it was their own. My dog has never been more tired/satisfied than after a full day of daycare, playing with her friends. Bonus: they post photos at the end of the day so you can see what your pup was up to and who they were playing with :) I would absolutely recommend Good Dog co to anyone looking for a trustworthy daycare to take care of their pup.

Good Dog co has been a Godsend for our 6 year old blue heeler, Shadow! After adopting her as a 5 year old rescue from Kentucky in November 2022, we discovered she did not know how to play and was hesitant around other dogs. Our goal for this sweet loving girl was to find happiness for her in her life, so we opted to find a way to integrate her into the dog world. Four Paws, now known as Good Dog co, was the answer. She was slowly exposed to other dogs and through them, discovered she was a dog and had friends just like herself. I cannot say enough about the love, care, and compassion of the staff. Their daycare, school, and boarding goes above and beyond! You can feel relaxed and content knowing your pet is safe and happy in their care. Thank you Good Dog co from the bottom of our hearts, Rick and Colleen Miller

Update 01.09.24: One of my dogs (Morty - black lab/corgi? mix) has been attending Day School at Good Dog Co since he was a puppy and he loves it! Danielle, the owner, has always been extremely honest & flexible with us from the start regarding the best plan for both of our dogs; it's clear that the team here has your pet's best interests in mind rather than just making money. The team is constantly giving me updates and feedback so that I can enhance both of my dogs' experiences both at day school & at home (for example - telling me which days Morty enjoys the most based on the group & play styles). They even mentioned that my other dog Sam is probably not the best fit for Day School/boarding as he would be too anxious to enjoy it, and gave us a few things to work on with him. Danielle easily could have just taken our money while leaving Sam miserably anxious, but instead she took the honest route. I am so grateful for the Good Dog Co community. It really feels like a family. Also, the pictures they post on Facebook daily are so cute. I look forward to them each day :) Re: my original 2020 review below... we still take our Pyrenees/collie mix here once a month-ish for grooming. The staff has been so flexible with my anxious Sam, and they collectively work to set him at ease while he gets groomed. Julia does a fabulous job, leaving Sam smelling and feeling wonderful! 2020 Post: Having just moved to the area, we have taken our 3.5 year old Pyrenees/collie mix here for grooming twice but now plan on taking him once a month! He suffers from separation anxiety but the employees at Four Paws put him at ease and make him feel comfortable, which gives us peace of mind. They do a great job grooming and are extremely friendly. They are also honest about my dog's temperament and will give me a rundown on how he was. I plan on using Four Paws for boarding as well if necessary. Definitely recommend!

Steve & the team at Canine Connections are the best! We came in from out of state to visit family & they quickly made room for our pooches & treated them like they were their own. They truly were a Godsend since we had to bring them for doggie daycare at the last minute because our one dog was having terrible separation anxiety if we went to leave the place we were staying at. They made us & our pooches comfortable & made it possible to visit family without a bunch of stress. The facility is clean & we really appreciate that they group the pooches taking play style into account, since our Beabull is only 6 yrs. old but has severe hip dysplasia & can't play hard for too long. We are definitely coming back & are beyond grateful for all their help & giving our kids a safe, clean place to be loved on while we were away. Our pooches made some great new friends & came home happy & healthy tired! Thank you so much Steve! We will see you again soon!

Canine Connections has been a godsend for us and our puppy.. The new owners have been nothing short of amazing with the pups, and ours in particular adore them. We use their services for doggy daycare and boarding, and our pup is absolutely enjoying her times there. Edit: Canine Connections now has dog grooming services. Their resident groomer, Dalilah, is wonderful in her work to keep our Daisy looking like Pretty-Puppy-Princess she is. The before and after pics are below. We know what a handful our li'l pup can be when it comes to grooming. Dalilah is OUTSTANDING! Thanks, CC! 🐾♥️

Amazing place! Our dogs come home tired and happy! VERY fair pricing as well! Both my wife and I are flight attendants so we sometimes need last minute reservations and they’re always happy to help us! They truly treat your dogs as a member of their family!

Steve and his team did a fantastic job caring for my dog for 2 weeks while on vacation. We could tell that they really cared for Joey and got to know him well. They went above and beyond and provided reassurance with updates from afar. We plan to be back on our next vacation without hesitation. Would highly recommend!

Not only is the owner a true dog person who literally loves every dog that walks in, their entire staff clearly enjoy working with the dogs with a smile on their faces every time we drop off our pick up our dog. Also, they use some kind of magic doggie shampoo that lasts for weeks longer than anything we've tried. The place is clean, especially for a doggie place, and we trust them to take care of our dog. He seems to like going there but that's just a guess because he likes every human he meets!

Great customer service and great pricing! My dog loved it there and she loved the owners too. Highly recommend

Steve, Jan and the rest of the gang are awesome! They totally care about your pups and they go above and beyond. They really make you feel comfortable having your dogs there. Also had Jojo groom my pups and they look fantastic!! 🐶❤️ …

Excellent! They know the names of all the dogs and genuinely care about them. The dogs are usually right there with the staff rather than in cages. They are caged for feedings and sleep. Love this place! The groomer gave my dog a nice trim and bath before I picked her up after boarding. My dog smells like cupcakes and looks great!

Had a nice and friendly experience at Canine Connections. Steve was able to get my dog Zoey in for a grooming last minute and Jojo did a great job. I would highly recommend and return for any future needs. You can tell they truly care for your furry family members.

I could not recommend Canine Connections highly enough. Their staff and owners are genuinely good people that care about the dogs. They usually have them around and not locked away in crates the whole time. I am incredibly thankful they have been able to accommodate my dog, who does not get along well with other dogs. If you are looking for a trustworthy place to board/groom/train, I would recommend Canine Connections.

Heather's meet and greet went so well with our dog Toby, we felt confident he was in a well cared for place for the weekend and she really gave us peace of mind. We will definitely use Heather again and so happy to have met her. Such a wonderful person!

Heather was great watching our dog which was supposed to be an 8 night stay but turned into an 11 night stay due to unexpected travel delays. Heather sent daily updated and communication has been perfect since the day we found her. There’s no doubt we would use her again.

I had the pleasure of using Happy Home Pet Services, owned by Heather, and I can't say enough wonderful things about my experience. Heather is not just a pet sitter; she's a pet lover and caregiver extraordinaire. Heather's dedication to the well-being of our pets is truly exceptional. She goes above and beyond to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and loved while we are away. She tailored her care to our pets' specific needs, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were in a familiar and loving environment. What truly sets Heather and Happy Home Pet Services apart is her personal touch. She not only takes care of the basics but also showers your pets with attention and affection. The daily updates and photos she sends while we're away provide immense comfort, and it's evident that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. Heather's professionalism and reliability are also worth noting. She's always punctual and communicates effectively, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. I appreciate her attention to detail and how she respects our home. I can confidently recommend Happy Home Pet Services to anyone in need of pet care. Heather's passion and commitment to her work shine through, and she has become an invaluable part of our extended pet-loving family. If you want the absolute best for your pets, look no further than Heather and Happy Home Pet Services.

I first volunteered with Heather at the West Suburban Humane Society in Illinois in 1999. She has volunteered with and cared for both cats and dogs for many years and I have never met someone more devoted to animals than Heather. Volunteer work includes foster care in her own home and work at shelters. There is no one more qualified or loving than Heather to care for your pet! I would trust her with my own :-).

I've used Heather to care for my two cats when I am out of town. She is fantastic and I would highly recommend her. Both of my cats hide when strangers come into the house, but Heather searches them out to make sure they are OK, and tried to engage with them ... often without success, but I appreciate her effort and hope that one day, they may actually warm up to her! I've also seen Heather in action with cats at the Cat Guardians shelter where she volunteers. She makes sure to greet any new cats and helps assess their disposition. Her attention and pets help the new cats to begin adjusting to the shelter environment. And once they are acclimated, Heather continues to provide interaction and stimulation ... seeking out the cats that need extra work to help them become more comfortable and confident with people. All this helps the cats to adjust and moves them closer to being ready for adoption. She is definitely a cat lover and I would trust her with my beloved pets in a heartbeat!

I would highly recommend Heather to care for your pet! She has been coming to my home since my dog was a new puppy and she went above and beyond. My pup was struggling with crate training, she helped get him potty trained and if he had an accident made sure he had clean bedding. And she was a sounding board for me, the first time puppy Mom trying to figure it all out! He's my Baby and I 100% trust her with him and also coming into my home. Heather is totally reliable, punctual and very accommodating if I ever need to switch something around. I'm very thankful to have her as I simply don't have to worry when I'm at work. She truly lives what she does. And my pup loves her! She really is a gem!

Heather was amazing. She came by to meet our animals (2 Guinea pigs and a hamster) before we left! She was very caring toward them and communicated with us when needed. I would highly recommend her services she is also very affordable. I was happy to leave my little guys in such great care!

Heather is a great dog sitter! My dog is pretty anxious but had a great 2 night stay here. 100% recommend!

I couldn't ask for a better person to be responsible for my pets. Heather goes above and beyond for her clients. She is considerate, reliable and has wonderful communication skills. I trust her in my home and trust her with my two dogs any day. I highly recommend!

Heather was great with Misty! We loved getting our updates on how she was doing, especially since this was our first time away from her. We would definitely have Heather as pet-sitter again!

My family and I were leaving town and I was absolutely terrified leaving my pets alone or boarding them it gives me anxiety to even talk about it. Genesis’s reassured me that Ellie and Hammy would be in the best of care. Now Ellie can be a lot of work. She is a hyperactive American Staffie Mix and has her moments where she’s either super clingy or a ball of anxiety. Genesis took the time for Ellie to decompress in her at home boarding, and used positive reinforcement to help ensure Ellie that she was doing fine. She even took the time to train with Ellie in her dominant behavior she tends to have when she finds a person she likes and clings to. It was nice to know that while Ellie was boarding that she was continuously kept engaged in activities, whether it be puzzles, training, or even just a walk. Genesis gave me daily progress reports, updates and even pictures of Ellie and Hammy the hamster and it honestly helped so much with putting my mind at ease. Genesis is compassionate, kindhearted and loving with your pet and while your pet is with her they become her pet and her baby so you know they will have the best of care. Words cannot express how grateful and appreciative I am for the care. And from now on when I travel, Zoomies K9 Care will be the only place I will board my pets. Thank you again to Zoomies K9 Care!

We love using Zoomies! Genesis and Damien are caring, professional, and treat my dog as their own. I use them for weekly walks and boarding and both experiences continue to be phenomenal. I know my dog is happy, safe, and also having fun! I know my dog loves them too because she gives lots of tail wags and kisses when they pick her up for boarding, she is always excited to see them. For boarding I know she is safe and receiving the one on one attention she would be getting at home. My dog can be stubborn and they are so patient and invested in her wellbeing and take the time to train her and play games. They send detailed updates with lots of pictures too. I highly recommend!

Genesis and Damien have been a godsend to our anxious pup, Joey! Genesis was patient, persistent and consistent and now Joey is comfortable enough to even give Genesis some kisses. Joey is still a bit timid around Damien (and most guys) but I have faith that she will come around! Genesis and Damien took a lot of time during the meet and greet to get to know everything about our dogs and about us. Their app is so amazing, you even get a report card at the end of each visit! Scheduling is also a breeze through the app! Genesis and Damien are such a delight, I feel like they are our long lost friends! Your dogs (cats, snakes, bunnies, alpacas) will love them!!

Let me start by saying that if I could give a million stars not just 5 I would. These guys are absolutely amazing. I was nervous leaving my 6 dogs at first, but now I will never ask anyone to dog sit but Zoomies. I am absolutely amazed at their service. They went above and beyond. Seeing happy faces on my dogs was absolute joy. I actually enjoyed my vacation without a worry. Very professional. My dogs loved them. I think my dogs were disappointed that it was us walking into the house yesterday and Damian and his wife. I had never had such great service. They even took care of our cat. They posted everything they did, everything that my babies did. They posted pictures. They even left a magnet with the pictures of my dogs. I could never get a pick of all of them together, but they managed. Overall best experience ever. I am excited for them to come back when so go on my next vacation. Highly recommend them.

I cannot recommend Zoomies K9 Care ENOUGH! Genesis has given me sanity when it comes to my newly rescued friend! She has been there for me and supported me before I even adopted my dog. I was very nervous to adopt my dog because I am a nurse with a hectic changing schedule. She answered all my questions thoroughly and gave me the utmost support in adopting Otis! Now she feels like another member of my little family. She is Otis’s second mom! She has worked with every silly quirk that Otis has, always going above and beyond for my little guy. She gives me peace of mind when I leave for my twelve hour shifts. When she first met my dog, she quickly caught on to his rescue behaviors. I can firmly say now after almost a year, Otis is a different dog because of Genesis. I could have never gotten through this journey with my very first dog without her. She truly has made all the difference in Otis and mine’s life. Zoomies K9 Care came into my life very unexpectedly after seeing a flyer on a street corner. I am forever grateful for their business! Please check out all the different services Genesis and her team has to offer! She will go above and beyond for her customers and their “children” !! Otis and I love Zoomies!

I love Zoomies K9 Care and so does my baby boy, Atlas, who was cared for exceptionally while I was away on vacation. I received daily and multiple updates on how my boy was doing, which I appreciated greatly. I also appreciated the thorough questions and set up for his time with Zoomies. l always get nervous leaving him to board but Zoomies made it super easy and I could enjoy my time away knowing Atlas was having the best time. I am and will 100% use them again! Thank you for caring for my boy like I do.

They are the best dog walkers and trainers anyone can ask for! I have two rescues and they have done wonders for their walks and behaviors! One of my dogs doesn’t even like males and he jumps up and down every time they come over for walks and that says a lot how great they are with my dogs.

Highly recommend going with Zoomies for any pet care needs! My fiance and I work odd hours, and with 4 dogs it was a bit worrying to find someone who can handle a rowdy bunch. Genesis has been absolutely wonderful and super flexible to work with us. She attends carefully to each of their needs and provides pictures with updates, which puts me at ease. 10/10 will continue to use and refer her services!!

Due to an unexpected work trip, I urgently needed someone to watch after my Leo. I was able to quickly connect with Genesis who really listened to my needs and concerns regarding my anxious pup. Genesis was patient, knowledgeable, and reliable throughout her care with Leo. She provided me with regular updates (pics & texts), continually asked about my preferences, and, above all, provided me with peace of mind while I was away. Leo even learned a few new tricks. Definitely would recommend! Thank you Zoomies!!!

Thank you Zoomies for the outstanding care and peace of mind you provided to Leo while I was out of the country. I was given multiple daily reports, pics, and notifications about my dog. They even provided home made natural meals ! A million times over, thank you!!!!

Deanna has taken care of our dogs many times now and always does an amazing job. They love it there and it makes it easier to go out of town and know they are having the time of their lives. She is also extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy as well as so loving and sweet. Definitely recommend her services.

Deanna took wonderful care of my senior pup, Jazzy. Jazzy went everywhere with us, so I was a little nervous leaving her with someone for the first time. We did the meet and greet and I felt very comfortable leaving her in Deanna’s care. Jazzy got a mini vacation at the same time as us. If you are looking for a quality pet sitter with years of experience you have found the right place.

Deanna is wonderful & my go-to sitter for Nova! She’s incredibly flexible & has made my last-minute travel possible for work. She comes to my apartment to do in-home care (which gives me so much peace of mind since I’m able to leave Nova at home in a space where she’s relaxed & comfortable). She sends updates & pictures, which always make my day (attaching some of the photos from those updates so you can see just how comfortable she is with Deanna)! I can’t recommend her enough!

We have been using Deanna’s Petsitting services for years, and would not trust anyone else. Our two small dogs are not the most outgoing, and one is especially needy of her humans. Every time we pick them up from a stay at Deanna’s it is clear they were not stressed during their stay! We greatly appreciate the fact our girls are welcome on their furniture just like at home, not crated and have a yard to play in throughout their stay. Knowing Deanna has worked as a Vet Tech is the icing on the cake!

What a blessing it has been to have found Deanna's Petsitting! I was in need of a dog walker and could not be more happy with the service myself and my dog have received. Tommy does the dog walking and I could not be more happy with him. He gives me updates after each walk and I can tell him and my dog (Bruno) have a great relationship! It makes being away from my furbaby a little more tolerable! Thank you!!

Deanna has watched our dog multiple times and she is absolutely fantastic. She has excellent communication skills before and during our dog's visit. Our dog can be a bit shy and Deanna went out of her way to make sure he had everything he needed to feel comfortable and loved. She treats all of her visiting animals like a part of her family and you can see the love she has for all of them. I highly recommend Deanna for all of your petsitting needs.

Deanna is fantastic!! Our dog loves going to her house when we need to leave town. It is such a peace of mind knowing our dog is in good hands, enjoys going there and is safe and well taken care of. We can’t recommend Deanna’s services enough!

Deanna is fantastic! She’s the only person outside my immediate family that I trust with my pets. She’s a former vet tech, which always gave me a little extra peace of mind with my since passed on senior boy. She’ll care for your animals like they’re her own. Can’t recommend her enough!

Our dog, Rosie, can't get out of the car fast enough when we drop her off at Deanna's. Rosie has been with Deanna since she was a puppy. Six years later, she still is excited to see Deanna and spend time in her home. Deanna loves Rosie as well as all other pets in her care. She communicates with us when we are gone to assure us that all is well. We are confident that Rosie is in good hands when we are away. We highly recommend Deanna to care for your pets.

Deanna is a great pet-sitter! Our dogs are high anxiety and very stressed when we leave them but she kept them happy while we were away. Her massive yard is great for running and playing. She has also checked in on our dogs & cat in our house and is very reliable and great to work with. Highly recommend for any of your pet needs.

Our two pups had a great time at Small Paws Pet Care over the Thanksgiving holiday. During the week, Gina sent us texts with pictures and videos of the dogs playing. Her large fenced-in backyard is a perfect place for dogs to sniff, meander, and run and play with each other. During our initial meet-and-greet, Gina asked thoughtful questions, e.g., are your dogs scared by anything, are they on any medications, may they have a bite of turkey on Thanksgiving? At that point, I knew the pups were in good hands. The next time we leave town or need pet daycare, we will call on Small Paws. Thank you, Gina!

We have used Small Paws for a few years now. Gina is so loving to the dogs, and takes care of each pet to the owner’s specifications. There is a large fenced in back yard for the dogs to play. I have loved this service. I would recommend it to anyone!

I could not have asked for nicer place or a more wonderful person than Georgina and Small Paws Pet Care to board and take care of my 11 year old rescue Chihuahua, Taco Bella. Her whole life and spirit goes into the love of dogs and especially talking with me about all the little details and peculiarities, habits, likes, dislikes, needs, feeding, treats for Taco Bella, of which she took copious and detail notes for by the way. Her whole home as well as fenced in yard has been set up to accommodate being a full time caregiver and keeper of small dogs - she doesn't take on too many. She even has a 'Zen Room' for the dogs to separate them when needed. Taco Bella was able to sleep with her and her husband in their bed as told her she would want to! And it goes on and on from there the praises I could heap on her and her good care. At the last minute (almost) I asked if i could bring Taco Bella the evening before when I realized the getting myself together and the dog to her before going to the airport was going to be too much for me, she said sure no problem. When I decided to stay and an extra day on my vacation that was fine too. Taco Bella was well taken care of. I got regular pictures and detailed updates - and Georgina always responded to my messages or questions right away. This was the first time I had been away since I recused Taco Bella a little more than a year earlier. Taco Bella came out happy and healthy and fine! I was so glad that I chose Georgina and Small Paws Pet Care - I lucked out but when I need to board Taco Bella again it is here she will be going. Georgina really bends over backwards to make things just right for your dog. And her own dog, Kit? He is real heart breaker too, really great dog!

We’ve been using Small Paws for our pups since 2022 and have always had great experiences with Gina. She is very accommodating, and it’s very easy to tell that she is the biggest dog lover! She has a fully fenced half acre, which is wonderful, and our dogs get such great socialization since there are almost always a handful of other pups at Small Paws whenever we drop off/pick up.

This past week, my family and I went on a week long vacation and put all our trust in Gina at Small Paws Pet Care LLC to take care of our 2.5 year old pup Reggie. We wanted to avoid boarding Reggie at an overcrowded dog daycare because honestly we felt like he would not be given individualized attention (which he craves). Gina went above and beyond with Reggie, including dealing with his difficult eating habits, comforting him when we first left him, and even making sure he felt right at home allowing him to follow her all around the house / allow cuddle sessions whenever he needed. Small Paws Pet Care is a hidden gem, and we will be returning customers from here on out. You can book Gina with confidence knowing your dog(s) will be in excellent hands. ****I also feel the need to add that Gina sends daily updates and a daily picture, which as a dog parent, gave me so much comfort****

Small Paws is wonderful! I am always happy to drop my pup Rudy with Georgina when I have a big event or vacation planned. She provides a wonderful open space for the pets to explore and always sends me pictures or videos of my dog throughout his stay. She is compassionate and flexible. I can't recommend Small Paws enough!

So happy I finally found someone I can trust with my dog! Gina is amazing and takes such good care of my little one. Gina is very accommodating and works with you. I would highly recommend this care to anyone

Chandler has been going to Gina since he was ~9months old. We do not like to leave him home alone and we did not want to leave him at a traditional doggy daycare. Gina’s place is perfect because it is at her house and feels more like a home for Chandler. Gina’s place has now become Chandler’s second home - he is there ~3days a week for ‘daycare’ and we also leave him there if we go on vacation. He loves going there because he always has other doggy friends to play with, a large backyard to run around in and Gina is just great with the dogs. He now knows when are about a mile away from her place and starts getting excited in the car. As soon as I open the door when we get there, he is ready to jump out of the car and run in there and play. We get videos and pictures of him playing and you really feel like he is living his best life. Sometimes feel bad on days that I don’t send him there because he seems to have such a good time at Gina’s.

We had a week long vacation planned prior to adopting Zoey, so we were nervous about leaving her for the first time. Gina met with us, and addressed all of our questions and concerns before our trip. Throughout the week, Gina sent updates, pictures and videos to put our minds at ease. When we picked Zoey up, she was so happy! She had a great week with her new furry friends. It’s clear that Gina cares a great deal about the pups that she watches. We will definitely be using her services again, and we recommend her highly.

I don't trust many people with my fur baby, but Gina and Lance (pretty sure my dog likes Lance better than me!) are among the trusted few! They adore her and I know she is in good hands when I need help with daycare and/or boarding. You can rest easy knowing that your four-legged kids are safe, well cared for, and loved on when you're away.

Our first time using Pats Doggie Day are and it was such a great experience! She made us feel so much better about being gone by sending updates and pictures of our baby playing and enjoying her time. Our Maggie just loved her little boy and the other people in her family. She ate great. She played with their dogs and it was just a relief. We’ll be back again to stay!

My father recommended Momma Pat's to me because he uses Patricia for his dog sitting. She has watched my puppy Dexter a few times and I am very pleased with her service. She sends me photos throughout the day and my dog seems so excited to go over there. I highly recommend. You can genuinely tell she loves what she does.

Pat has been wonderful for our dog Ally! We appreciate her responsive , reliable communication, her watchfulness and care as well as the warm, happy home she has created. Ally loves the companionship of other dogs there as well as Pat and her family. The backyard is spacious and for our family this is the perfect fit for Ally . We did day stays as well as a recent weeklong stay. All have been positive experiences with Ally wagging her tail furiously when she sees Pat's house. We love supporting local and are so thankful we found Pat!

Mama Pat has been a wonderful find for us. We live in Villa Park also, and feel so glad to have found a safe and caring place to leave our black lab Bella. She is nervous when we are gone and I think we finally figured out the best fit for her. The fact that she can play with other dogs all day and sleep free in someone's home just as if she was at her own house is the best fit for her. Pat provided daily photo updates to us directly as well as posting often on social media. She conducts a meet and greet with her and her own dogs, and requests vaccine records as well. Our Bella loved being there and it was so comforting to know that she was being well cared for!

Patricia watched my Meatball a few times a week and on the days she didn’t watch him at her home, she would come walk him while I was at work. Meatball Loved going and playing with her dogs as well as any other dogs she had that day. He was super tired when he would come home. I recommend her for anyone who needs some to watch their dog and treat them like they are her own, with love and care ❤️

I’ve known Patricia for years and I was so excited when I found out she had started all this! Over the weekend she watched my dog Ranger, who is my best friend in the world! I was extremely nervous to leave him, but I know he was in great hands! She sent me photos throughout the day and my dog seems so excited to go over there. He loves the other dogs and even slept on her sons bed! 10/10 highly recommend. You can tell she absolutely loves what she does!!! I will definitely be having her watch Ranger again I’m the future!

First I would say I am so happy I found Patricia and her amazing services. She and her family truly not lie when she says they treat your furry babies like their own. My dogs were comfortable all the time. Spacious backyard for high energy dogs(just like mine) and lots of love and cuddles. She even left my dogs sleep in their bed, since my dogs are used to and it is the only way they sleep( note... I took their beds). My dogs were safe and happy the six days of their stay there. I will never worry again of my dogs when they have to stay behind on a vacation time as long as it is Momma Pat's. Hope she never stop her business. 🙏 ❣🐶🐶

Our 2 dogs stayed with Pat and her family and they had so much fun. Daily updates from Pat made it easy. As if they were on vacation too, played and socialized with other dogs. They were great! Definitely recommend 👌 …

This was the best Thing I could have done for my pets when we went out of town. It was stress free and I loved the updates and the photos she sent of my pets. I know they were safe and loved. It feels good to know your pets are in good hands. She not only took amazing care of my dogs But she also took care of my cats and my daughter's bearded dragon. Amazing service with compassion and love for animals. I Highly recommend this service.

When my dog stays with Patricia, he comes home happy and tired. Her price are more reasonable than what you can get at dog sitter business. What I appreciate that most with Patricia is that she would text me through out the day about my dog’s status.
