Hello. My husband and I are just moving to Glen Ellyn and we are looking for recommendations on a good dog walker/sitter or daycare provider for a few days a week. Any recommendations or info. would be much appreciated.
Look who's talking! You almost ran Motherof3childrenchinaWesternSuburbofChicagothatbordersinterstate355inthecountyofdupageandstateofillinois off this board yesterday.
However, addressing your point Tmang, sorry for the ill fated joke. Good to have you.
In all honesty, if it is a garage you are looking for, I do have room.

GE Fan (which by the way does stand for General Electric Fan, Right Jack?) that was a bit harsh. Also, you failed to disclose to tmang the proximity of your garage to the 2 lane superhighway/part-time-crater known as Western Ave. No self-respecting dog would accept such accommodations. And technically speaking, Glen Ellyn straddles I-355.

I am a dyslexic agnostic insomniac. I lay awake at night wondering if there is a dog.
GEfan...How much are you charging for said garage space? And are you restricting applicants to dogs only? I have been looking for a place to house my husband besides the doghouse. A litter box and bowl of water are all that is required.
Thanks!

Tmang - not sure if you found a dog sitter yet but we had good luck with some of the neighbor kids. After paying $40 a night for doggie overnight care, (a kennel) we asked around and found three kids who love taking care of our pets while we are out of town. It ends up being a lot cheaper and the kids make some extra cash.
You might want to try asking a few neighbors in your area that have kids who are junior - high to high school age. I think we paid $40 for the entire weekend last time we went out of town. Sounds like you need dog walking during the day. If the dogs could wait until after school (3pm I think) that might work out for you.
Tmang, don't know if anyone really did answer your question, but I have 2 large dogs and we have been using Cyndi Paney with Cyndi's Critter Care for 3 years, and she is great with dogs and has reasonable rates. She walks my dogs every day at noon, spends 40 minutes total with them, and leaves a journal of her visit. Really cool. Many of my neighbors use her services as well. I highly recommend her; she can be reached at 916-7965.
Arlo - Just curious, how much does Cyndi charge? Does she charge extra for extra dogs? We'd probably need the same service - only just letting them out mid-day. Thanks so much for the rec!
