Dog Boarding Barrington

About: About Me 🐾❤️ As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your beloved pets. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and caring every step of the way. I’ll treat your fur babies like my own, following their routines, respecting your instructions, and giving them plenty of love, patience, and personalized care while you’re away. I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals, including farm animals, dogs, cats, and parrots. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy! Today, my home is filled with my two dogs—a 7-year-old Plott Hound and a 4-year-old Golden Retriever—as well as my African Grey parrot. We recently lost our sweet orange kitty, Jack, and he will always hold a special place in our hearts. ❤️🐱 I absolutely love being outdoors, so if your pup enjoys adventures, I’d be happy to take them for a walk or hike and give them fun, enriching time outside. I’m also comfortable caring for pets in snow, rain, or heat, so the weather won’t stop me from providing reliable care! ☀️🌧️❄️ Most importantly, I’ll take the time to get to know your pets, understand their personalities and routines, and keep you updated so you can feel confident and worry-free while you’re away. Your pets’ safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities, and I would be honored to care for them. 🐶🐱🐴🦜💕 My Availability 🐾 To start, while I build my clientele, I’m available early mornings, after 4 PM on weekdays, weekends, and holidays! ❤️ I’m excited to meet some amazing new pets and their families and hopefully become someone you can count on whenever you need a little extra help caring for your fur babies. 🐶🐱🐾 Your pets’ safety and comfort are my top priorities. I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. In my home, I have two dogs and an African Grey parrot, so I understand how important it is to keep a safe, calm, and clean environment for all animals. I would always take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and any special instructions before caring for them. When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your home with the same respect I would expect in my own. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pets’ routines as consistent as possible, and provide plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise. Most importantly, I want you to feel confident and comfortable knowing your pets are being cared for by someone who genuinely loves animals. 🐶🐱🐴🦜💕

“Highly recommend Janelle and her husband. They took very good care of cinnaman! He was very calm and comfortable when we picked him up. They have a nice fenced in backyard and a nice neighborhood for walks.”

“Our dog was beaming when we picked him up. Noreen was super communicative and took pictures to keep us posted. He had a great time on the farm! We will definitely use her services again!”

About: I know how important it is to find the right person to watch over your pets. My home is a haven for dogs, with a fully fenced-in backyard where they can play, sniff, sunbathe, and explore safely. My Golden Retriever, Marshall, is a sweet and well-loved boy who adores making new friends. He loves to play with other dogs, nap on the couch, and splash in a pool on a hot day. I always make time for my dog whether it’s taking walks during breaks, playing in the yard, enrichment games, or sunbathing time (for the dogs, not me) I have a fully fenced in backyard that always has fresh water for the pups. There’s plenty of toys to play with, shade under a gazebo, and on a hot day, a mini pool to cool off in! The yard is treated with all natural, pet safe flea and tick deterrent.

“Veska took wonderful care of our 7 year old lab. He was made to feel a part of her family. He got lots of love and exercise. Veska took the time to send many daily updates with pictures. I highly recommend her services.”

Janet G.

“Ashley took great care of my pup. She is clearly very experienced with all types of dogs and ensures they are safe and active while in her care. We will definitely use her again!”

Tania D.

“Bri was exactly who we were looking for! Our dog Charlie is somewhat anxious and not very social with other dogs so we really didn’t want to leave him in a traditional boarding facility for a week. Bri was happy to take care of Charlie and showed him so much love and attention! She has a clean home and lots of outdoor space and trails for walks. Couldn’t be happier with our experience!”

Renee T.

“Nicole is such a lovely person and we’re so glad to have found her! She took good care of our weirdo husky and he came home tired, which is no small feat! We can’t recommend her enough and will definitely reach out to Nicole again when we need doggy coverage in the future.”

Jesele Z.

“Katie was great watching our Portuguese Water Dog. It was very easy to set up a drop-off time and work out the details with her prior. She kept us updated with pictures and our puppy came back well exercised and happy.”

Gregory T.

“My little Betty had such a great time! I got lots of pictures and updates! I just moved to town and have to travel every few months and I'm so happy to have found this great family and home away from home for my dog.”

Michelle P.

“Jasmine is kind, shared updates and pictures and asked questions to ensure the best care for my pup. My puppy loved her and felt comfortable around her dog.”

Brittney C.

“My pup really enjoyed her initial contact with Karen. Four days later, Scarlett was still excited and well taken care of by Karen. I highly recommend Karen and her facility.”

“Kiana was truly amazing. I had a sudden family emergency that required me to go out of state. She went so far above and beyond during that time, while having no obligation to do so. From the beginning of the cats stay with Kiana, she had been so incredibly flexible, she agreed to watch them with only two days notice, and due to the situation evolving and becoming unpredictable, she was more than happy to allow me to extend their stay. She was the direct cause of so much stress relief due to knowing the cats were safe, and well taken care of. 5/5 human. As for her actual care of the kitties she again went well above and beyond anything anyone might think is going the extra mile. The cats were given the space needed to become comfortable and very quickly, and happily adapted to the new routine. I received frequent pictures and videos, she was very communicative, and because of her vigilance we were able to create a plan of action for one of the kitties who started throwing up more frequently than normal. She even went out and bought higher quality food for the cats, and implemented a structured feeing strategy so we could better assess the puking, which I doubt was an easy task since they both free fed before they were boarded. She kept me up to date at all times and provided regular, detailed updates. 5/5 for animal care as well. She is the best sitter/boarder I have ever had any experience with, by exponents, it’s not even close. Her service was head, and shoulders above anyone I’ve personally used before and far better than anything I’ve heard about other boarders. Choosing Kiana to care for your pets should be an insanely easy decision for anyone who wants their animals taken care of at the highest level of care, and wants someone that is just a straight up good human as well.”

“They were AMAZING. Sent us cute photos and videos throughout. I can tell our dog Lucy had a great time. They were also very polite and kind the entire time. We've booked with them prior as well with the same experience.”

Killian & Lola L.

“Michelle was easy to work with and let us bring our dog over for a visit ahead of time. Our dog loved her stay with Michelle and we will definitely use her again!!”

“Jeanne was great. We were away for almost two weeks. She kept in touch with us and sent pictures of Roxy playing. It was very comforting to see she was enjoying herself!”

Ashok R.

“Betsy was great! We left our small dog Guppy with her overnight, and she had a great time. Betsy was very responsive and took great care of our dog, we definitely plan to work with her again.”
