2. Miriam M.

We will definitely use her boarding services again and we already recommended her to our friends and family.”
3. Jenny Y.

4. Lorraine C.
“Lorraine took wonderful care of our Viszla puppy while we were out of town this summer … his experience looked like a stay at a doggy spa. He enjoyed time in the outdoor pool, played in the garden, went on lots of stimulating walks and had a comfortable bed to sleep in. Lorraine was responsive and generously sent us lots of pictures during his stay.”
5. Ian T.
“Ian was great and I would 100% book with him again. He was very attentive and provided detail of his plans to ensure I did not worry. Watson seemed to have had a great time hanging out in the yard and going on walks. Highly recommend!”
6. Carolina C.
“Very happy with Carolina’s care of Daisy. Carolina took Daisy on one day notice. She did a great job on giving Daisy her medications four times a day for seizures. She sent us pictures everyday assuring us that Daisy was fine. Daisy appeared very happy with Carolina and I recommend her and will request her services again in the future. Thank you again Carolina ?? ?”

8. Karen G.
“Karen was amazing with our two dogs. They were immediately comfortable in her home. She was very attentive and took them on several walks despite not having the best weather. Our dogs are usually very anxious to be left at our typical boarding place but they seemed completely at ease with Karen. Her home and yard are immaculate. Would definitely use again!”
9. Lauren S.
“Our dog loved his stay with Lauren! He is very shy, but he warmed up to Lauren quickly and had so much fun. We received updates, pictures, and videos daily, which made me feel so much better about leaving him. We have already re-booked!”
10. Allen S.
“Allen was amazing with our dog! He has a really great set-up where the dogs can run around and play. He’s easy to communicate with and we got daily update videos of Oslo playing. He knows what he’s doing with dogs and really cares about them. Thanks again Allen! We’ll definitely be dropping Oslo off again.”
11. Rob R.
“Rob has went above and beyond for my Nova. I had to make a very hard decision to possibly putting her in a shelter, but he said “no” I will keep her until a loving home is found for her. It has happen and it’s going to be bitter sweet, Rob is loving her as she deserves. Thank you Rob for your loving heart and passion.”
12. Adolfo M.
“Khaleesi had the time of her life! Adolfo keep in touch with sending pictures everyday. We feel confident that he took well care of her. We will definitely recommend & use his services again.”
13. Corey & Robert D.
“Corey and Robert took such good care of our 9 month old cockapoo, Huckleberry! From the start, it was clear that Corey was so professional and caring. We had an initial video interview and she asked all the right questions. And the house and backyard were perfect! Once Huck was at her house, she kept in touch so much, and we watched as our shy little guy came out of his shell! She even took the crate apart and had it all set for us when we came to pick him up. Also, they live so close to O'Hare, it was so convenient to pick up and drop off. We couldn't be happier w Corey and her house and adorable Yorkie Bosco and...everything. We will be back!”
14. Shirley M.
“Shirley is the BEST. She cared for our kitten with multiple congenital issues (cleft palate & twisted back legs) and accommodated her litterbox & play area to fit her mobility needs, along with tube feeding her by hand. I can tell she truly cares for animals and looks out for both pets and owners. She went above & beyond in consulting her veterinary knowledge from working in a specialty clinic to make it easier for us as owners to care for our Callie & plan for all her needs in the future. I got so many updates & pics/videos of Callie over the weekend, & we couldn't stop talking about how grateful we were she was spending the night with Shirley. We send love & thanks!!!”
15. Brenda & Milo M.
“Hank was super pumped to head into hang out with Brenda, Milo, and Boozer. He barely looked back (which makes me so happy and sad like he didn't even say bye to me he was so happy and excited to be there! ) Will definitely use this sitter again! Lots of photos, great communication, and friendly.”
16. Bere C.
“Bere was great at communicating and flexible with pick up and drop off. Our dogs had a great stay and she sent us pictures. I would board with her again if in the area.”
17. Leslie D.
“Leslie was great with Penny. She sent me daily notifications with pictures. I would definitely be using her services again.”
18. Nina C.
“Nina took great care of my dog! She provided daily updates and pictures, and you can tell that she really cares about your pet and keeping them happy and healthy. Will be booking with her in the future!”
19. WanTing H.
“WanTing and her family took amazing care of Ziggy, he didn’t want to leave when I picked him up. They took him everywhere with them and gave him a lot more activity and attention than he usually gets at home. I worry a lot when leaving him in a new place, but WanTing sent me a picture and update every day. They even bathed him and sent him home with treats and a toy! Highly recommend!”
20. Lech & Briseida S.
“Our usual boarding place was booked and we were in a bind for our long vacation to Hawaii. A friend referred us and it Couldn’t have worked out more perfectly. We have a very large pup who needs a lot of activity and affection. Lech and Briselda took care of everything and more. The daily videos on IG were a huge bonus! We will be back again and again!”
