We were looking for a location to get our 2 dogs nails trimmed and filed. We looked at the usual PetSmart & Petco places which had +30 min wait. We drove past Doggy Daydream and decided to check it out. Tim did a fantastic job and we were in and out in 5 minutes, and for half the cost! He was considerate of our dogs, as well as us, to make sure they got the best treatment. We will definitely go again and highly recommend this place to anyone needing grooming or daycare.

We are very happy we have found this amazing place. Everyone is friendly, and I can see that my puppy Cooper is part of the family. Drop offs and pickups are fast, I can leave him anytime for daycare, he is so happy to be there and that says everything.The place is clean, staff is awesome and pups are happy, what more can anyone ask for?Thank you Doggy Daydream, thank you!

My wife and I absolutely love Doggy Daydream. We took our dog that we've had just under a year, and is still a "pup". We were a little worried, because he had only been around 2 or 3 dogs since we've had him, and not all that often. Reached out to Tim, and we were able to set up a little play group to have him introduced to other dogs.A week or two after that, my wife and I had an extended weekend, and needed to take our dog in. Spoke with Tim, and he allowed us to bring him in first thing Friday morning. We came back on Monday afternoon to pick him up, and he seemed like a new dog! I think he was actually mad that we were taking him away from his new friends.Looking forward to using Doggy Daydream at least once a month moving forward. Great for our dog to get some socialization and burn up some extra energy! Tim and his staff did an excellent job, and put our worries at ease.

To say we love it here is an understatement. There’s so much “fluff” these days, it’s so refreshing to see a simple, safe, straight forward, clean, friendly, reasonably priced dog facility, rather than a place that charges you for absolutely every little thing when they have an interaction with your dog. From the second we walk in the door my pup and I are greeted by name and with a smile. We absolutely love their flexibility, the staff, and the facility. There is none like it. I often need to make last minute accommodations and they are always inviting and welcoming, I have never been turned down. Most places charge extra for playtime outside of being boarded and require you to pick up by a certain time, etc, but there’s none of that here. The free range play and boarding is one of my favorites. My pup has free reign at home and to know he sleeps on a couch or curled up on the floor on a blanket when boarded, just as he does at home, is very comforting. He doesn’t love being confined and this atmosphere is perfect for him. (He has been boarded at facilities with kennels and suites and done well but this is undoubtedly, by far, the best place for him). The staff and ownership is fantastic and knowledgeable and you can’t beat the prices. I love knowing my boy is happy, comfortable, safe, and well taken care of. I am so so so grateful for this place and highly recommend bringing your pup here. Having brought my dog to several “upscale” boarding and daycare facilities prior to this, I can tell you that the quality is just as good (if not better here) and it’s significantly less costly. Highly highly highly recommend. :)

Tim and the staff at Doggy Daydream are wonderful! They really came through for us when our longtime daycare closed a month before we were set to go on vacation. Over the course of 4 visits before our trip, they were so patient with my high maintenance dog. Also, they don’t crate their dogs overnight which is exactly what we needed. They encouraged me to call in while I was gone and gave me detailed information when I called that showed they understood my dog and her needs. Bree had a great time and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip!

Great place with wonderful, friendly staff that offers a variety of services for reasonable prices. Daily daycare is an excellent value that offers convenient dropoff and pickup times and provides a safe, fun environment for your dog. They also offer bathing services, which we have used several times when our dog got skunked, as well as overnight boarding which we have used when going out of town. The overnight boarding is great because it is a familiar, comfortable place to leave our dog with people he knows and loves. Highly recommend Doggy Daydream for all your doggy needs.

Love that my husband and I found this place for our high energy Australian Shepard. He’s so excited to come here whenever we drop him off. I’m very happy to know our dog is happy and well taken care of here! Most importantly he’s never locked up in a crate and is free to play all day. I highly recommend this doggy daycare :)

I was hesitant to bring my dog to a doggy daycare / overnight boarding facility (since she's never been boarded before). However, now I'm sitting here wishing I did it sooner! Tim and his staff took amazing care of my Boston Terrier (and even sent me photos from time to time). She came home bathed too which was a nice touch! I boarded her for 4 days and since she's been home she's been sprawled out on the couch - absolutely exhausted! The exercise and interaction with other dogs was definitely worth it in itself - but ultimately (and most importantly) - Doggy Daydream took amazing care of my pup in a well monitored, safe, and clean environment. Highly recommend this facility.

Best doggy daycare & boarding in Chicago area. They don't discriminate against other breeds while making sure all the pups are safe and cared for. They do require a temperament evaluation prior to accepting your pup as a client.

Our Boxer, Summit loves Doggy Daydream. He's been going there since he was a pup. He doesn't like being in a crate so we were very happy to find a free roam/crate free daycare and boarding facility. We've used them many times over the last 1.5 years for both boarding and daycare. The staff always remembers Summit and are excited to see him.

THANK YOU DOGGY DAYDREAM. Amazing organization. Tim and Val are some of the nicest people I have ever met, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my dog with anyone else. Being able to have a place where my dog can socialize and exhaust her energy during the day is really great. You will feel good about leaving your dog to have a blast at Doggy Daydream. Hands down best daycare/boarding/grooming in the area!

Tim, Phil ,Travis and everyone here has helped me raise my two pups from 2 month babies to adult dogs. It was undoubtedly their second home and they went crazy every single time we’d leave them. My pups just loved it here .Everyone took care of my dogs as if they were theirs . We will always be indebted to DDD and Tim, all of our lives,for pampering our babies , giving them the best attention and in general , for helping us raise them into social ,Happy and loving dogs .Thank you for being a bunch of amazing human beings. Chicago NW suburb is really lucky to have DDD . Every other place is at least 50% more expensive and more so a “ service” , as opposed to genuine love , care and cuddles at DDD.Popo and Lolo will terribly miss you. I will too. May god always bless you my friends !

My five month old german shephard puppy is veryactive and I’m no match to his energy level and he was getting bored at home. I was verynervous to leave him in a daycare as I felthe was too young.I talked to the owner and he patiently answered all my questions and I felt comfortable leaving mypuppy for the whole day.Now my puppy goes there almost every day.They adjusted food and rest scheduled as per my puppy’s requirements which is a very big deal for me as my puppy doesn’t know when to take a break.The whole staff is very friendly and responsive.My puppy loves them.lAs soon as he sees them he runs towards them with wagging his tail in full swing 😀.He gets very exicited when we get closer to thedaycare. He wants to jump out the car to get in there.This daycare was life saver for me. I talked to other daycares as well in the area but most of themare very rigid in their schedule and were notfriendly at all.This daycare offer shorter time period drops-off as well.If I need to go out for two hours or so,I leave my puppy with them. I never felt comfortable with leaving a small puppy at home in the crate when I’m not around.Also, they have dog grooming services. I had nail cut job done for my puppy and I they did better jobthan pet smart.I would highly recommend this place

I've been taking my husky to this place for over 3 years! The quality of service and care is exceptional. I have used many different kennels in the past and haven't seen many places that offer cage-free boarding. It's great knowing that my dog will have plenty of playmates to socialize with outdoors or indoors, instead of being locked up all weekend like some places.

The staff at Doggy Daydream are fantastic! They're always extremely pleasant, are more than flexiable with last minute boarding requests and do a great job on nail trimmings and baths.The cage free set up is fantastic for our dog and he loves when we pull up.

Doggy daydream is awesome. The staff is always super friendly and they clearly care about all the dogs they watch. Our 2 dogs always come home completely exhausted because they had so much fun with the other pups. I would highly recommend to any friends or family.

Doggy Daydream is run by amazing dog lovers. We leave our dog family member with them knowing that he will be cared for as lovingly as we care for him. The place is very clean and our dog has never had that "dog kennel" odor after we've boarded him with Doggy Daydream. We trust their level of care.

My boyfriend and I were super picky when deciding on a place to bring our pup. After calling a few places we came across Doggy Daydream. After the initial phone conversation I knew this was the right place to leave our labradoodle. The cage free environment put me at such ease knowing Sonny would never be left alone. Hes a spunky, energetic and sometimes crazy pup and they took him in with open arms. After the first time we picked him up he even whined a bit as we were pulling off. I can always call and check in on him during his stay, any time of the day. Val and Tim love animals and treat our Sonny like their own. If you have to leave your pups anywhere I would definitely recommend Doggy Daydream!

I would absolutely recommend Doggy Daydream to any of my family or friends. The staff is willing to go above and beyond their service to make sure your dogs feel right at home. Its a wide open space inside and cage-free. Also, they were willing to contact me to give me an update on my dogs whenever I needed it. My dogs were happy and so was I. I will definitely bring them back again.

Doggy Daydream in a word is AWESOME! Tim, Val and Mike as well as the rest of the team are so kind and loving to the dogs. True 'dog people'! My dogs love going for daycare a couple days a week and it's the best when they come home, eat dinner and pass out from the good day they had. We also have peace of mind when we need a place for them to stay overnight... cage free and supervised 24 hours... the team at Doggy Daydream can be counted on! Even when we send special meals, meds and such - they take care of everything. I'm also impressed with the grooming services they offer.. it's awesome to have one-stop for all doggie needs. Thanks Doggy Daydream! We really value the goodness your bring into our dogs lives.

This is the most amazing place! No cages no crates lots of friendly dogs, fantastic people and great experiences. Love the special events like the birthday parties, Halloween parties and visit from Santa. Have used both the daycare and overnight boarding. I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else. The prices are fair, the facility is clean, they do a fantastic job in keeping the dogs happy and busy. I give this place 10 stars if I could. And I know my dog Toby agrees :-)

Doggy Daydream is the BEST! We were looking for a cage-free facility for our 2 year old Shepherd mix, Koda, for a week long stay while we vacationed. He is a super sweet pup but can be timid and shy at first. Another local daycare evaluated him and said he was too nervous for them. :-( We made our way to Doggy Daydream and Val and Tim spent some time with Koda and said they would work with him to make his stay a great experience. Well we just picked him up and I'm not quite sure he wanted to come home! :-) He did great and came home a happy camper. He's so wiped out from all the fun he's sleeping on the sofa as I type. We will definitely use Doggy Daydream again...thanks Val and Tim!!!

We truly feel so lucky that we found this gem! Our dog absolutely loves going here each week to visit his friends! We have also boarded our dog here a few times when we’ve traveled and it’s been a great experience each time. I highly recommend this location for dog care and boarding.
