Dog Boarding in Island Lake, IL

“Tim was great to work with and provided great care for our dog while we were away. He provided updates throughout the week and was flexible with our drop off and pick up schedule. Our dog had a great time and was worn out from a fun week away!”

“Sarah was great. Super flexible for drop off and pick up times. My high energy dog came home exhausted which means she had lots of fun and got enough exercise over the course of the week. We would definitely use her again.”

“Cannot express our thanks enough to both Liz and Kris for watching our little girl. They provided amazing updates, photos (many of which were hilariously edited and amazing), videos, and even a report card detailing her stay when we picked her up. So thankful to have found them and we will most certainly be booking again!”

“Jason was great! Very nice and accommodating of last minute requests. My girls had a fantastic time in the huge yard. Recommend and will book again!”

“Our dog, Josie, just had her first stay with Kelly and her lovely family. We couldn’t have been more pleased! Kelly took Josie on long walks and sent us lots of pictures and texts to let us know how much fun Josie was having. Kelly is an A-Number 1 Rover host. We cannot recommend her highly enough!”

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.

“Melody was absolutely amazing with our dog blue! Kept us updated with lots of pictures, took him for walks and car rides, and even got his nails clipped for us!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe place for their animals! Thank you Melody!!! Blue absolutely loved his stay with you!”

“Megan was friendly and cared well for my dog. This was my first time using Rover and Megan helped make me feel comfortable with the process. She asked lots of questions to get to know my dog and accepted all of my instructions.”

“We feel like we hit the jackpot when we met Michele. Her exuberance, kindness, positive energy, and attention to details and fun are just a few of her outstanding qualities. Lola loved her and she had a wonderful time while we were abroad. She had so much fun with her. While she was glad to see us, she also knew the fun with Michele was about to end and I could tell she was a little sad. The adventures never ended-they went on long walks, played fetch and found new balls to play with; she enjoyed every minute and the progress reports made us smile and allowed us to have a wonderful time and not worry for one second about how she was faring. We love Michele and have complete trust in her. ❤️”

“Ronnie loved it so much with Coral and her family. She didn’t want to come home. She had so much love. We’ll definitely use her again!”

“Angela was a great sitter! She kept in touch, sent photos regularly and even hand fed my pup when she was too nervous to eat on her own. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“I had a rescue adult dog, I did not know how it was going to go since I had never left her completely alone since I got her 3 years ago. Stella made me feel comfortable with the whole process. I cannot say enough on how pleased I am, from the updates while I was gone, to how well and smoothly everything went. It looks like my dog made some friends during her 9 day visit as she is much more vocal now, letting me know she's the boss!!!! Thank you Stella”

“I’m not one to write reviews but I know how important they were when I choose Debbie and her family to care for my dog. I had so many reservations and worries but after reading great reviews and then after our meet and greet I knew I had chosen the right person. Not only did Debbie and her family care for my dog but it was clear in the pictures I received daily that he was also given so much love to the point I wondered will he want to come back home lol. In addition to caring for our dog I told them due to a back injury Chanze was never leash trained and they took the time to leash train him as they went for daily walks. In every part of his care they went above and beyond what was expected. I will definitely be using Debbie and her family for our next trip. If you have any hesitation with using a complete stranger/an app to choose someone to watch your pet know your worries will quickly go away as this a wonderful family who will shower your pet with nothing but love.”

“Zeni loves being with Tommy and Julie. They’re very sweet and dedicated to my pup and are always available for my short notice visits. They bathed him before I picked him up after being with them for almost a week! Big shout out to them!!!”

“This was our first time leaving our dog onboarding and it was a really good experience for her, thank you Dahzia for taking care of Emma while we were gone. She did great, she sent updates and pictures.”

“Murphy had an amazing time staying with Sarah and Patrick! She shared tons of photos with us during the stay and was super responsive. We will definitely have Murphy stay with them again!”

“Jessica & Aaron went above and beyond. Yes, they cared for my two pups and they sent me regular texts. But I had a chance to see through their storm door and see my two pups be involved with the family interaction. It was heartwarming to see since I know they were truly treated like they were family. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.”

“John and Louis are wonderful dog sitters! We never worry about our dogs when they're in their care. They send frequent updates and pictures, administer all meds, and give our dogs lots of attention. One of our dogs has become a very reluctant eater in her old age but John and Louis are both patient and creative about getting her to eat. I am so grateful to have them as our dog sitters!”

“Ryan took Duke in like he was one of his own dogs. Ryan was concerned with his eating habits and if he had any other issues that he needed to be aware of . We are very grateful and will, of course , use him again in the future. BIG thank you!!”

“Barlow enjoyed his stay at the “retreat”. He came home a calm and relaxed hound- I think he learned to meditate while he was there! He’s so chill now. Banks Derek!”
