Dog Boarding Big Dickinson Lake

“Bonnie is the best! I was hesitant at using Rover but decided on Bonnie based on prior reviews & repeat people using her as a sitter. I would not trust my dog with anyone other than Bonnie. She knows dogs, is caring, sends daily photos and great at communicating!”

“Marci is great! I’m a travel nurse and I got stuck at work a snowstorm. Marci was super accommodating and my pups were well cared for while I was away. Thanks!”

“Charlene and her family made sure Ember felt right at home! She loved it and she was well entertained including playtime and walks. I would definitely book with them again!”

“Hannah was amazing with my sweet baby girl Lily! She even trimmed her nails because I was too chicken to do it! Hannah sent lots of updates and pics to help keep my mind and heart at ease when I was out of the country. I have such appreciation for the love she showed mah lil angel and am grateful I have a safe and fun place to bring Lily the next time I leave for another adventure :)”

“Awesome with the dogs. She absolutely love what she do and that makes a world of difference when leaving your fur baby. Provide updates often. Will definitely use again!!”

“Rebecca and her husband treated my little Lady like she was their own. I received daily updates with photos which easier my mind while being away. Rebecca worked well with getting Lady adjusted to her household. She even extended her stay by one night last minute. Lady will definitely be back!! Thank you for all the tummy rubs you provided:)”

“I can’t thank Asia enough for the amazing care she gave my dog. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. Rambo can be a bit much at first, but Asia went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and at home. She kept me updated with daily photos and messages, showing Rambo relaxing, playing, and getting lots of love. It was clear he wasn’t just being watched—he was being cared for like family. She even noticed his food was getting low and made sure he was still fed, and took the extra time to keep up with his routine. When I picked Rambo up, he was calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. It honestly felt like he had been on a mini vacation of his own. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again with her family—they are reliable, and very kind. Highly recommend 10/10!”

About: I have had many years of animal care! I have been volunteering in animal shelters since I was 16 and have previously walked dogs in Chicago for a few months! Most recently, I was on a volunteer team that helped train rescued puppy litters. I am currently a dental student that does not have the time for a full time job, but will always make time for some furry friends! I live in a gated apartment community with grassy areas within. There are no other animals in my apartment. My area is very walkable and I would love to be able to do so with your pet!

“Was wonderful! Gave daily updates with pictures and video, Tilly left grinning ear to ear. Was super kind about us dropping her off a little late, and super understanding about Tilly being a little excited. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”

Mia N.

“So great! First time boarding my dog so I was nervous, but Jaxx was in great hands. She sent me photos and updates while I was gone. My dog got along great with her pup and they got to play in a fenced in yard and everything! Would take him back there if I went on another trip for sure.”

“We were so happy we found Jackie for our guy. This was our first time leaving Bean behind and we were anxious. Jackie took the time to pre-meet us and allowed us to see the interaction between the two. He then showed us his home backyard and family. He asked for notes, especially since being is on meds and any special needs Bean might have every day he sent us messages and pictures of Bean . Jackie is Bean’s friend. He became familiar with his ways, Bathroom behaviors and his insecurities, especially during the crazy weather if you need somebody loving and caring of your best friend, please reach out to Jackie. We are glad we did. Thanks, Traci”

Traci O.

“Dominique was a fabulous and very responsive host! We can definitely tell our baby enjoyed his time and was well cared for! We will definitely trust Dominique again when we’re in town!”

“I was very hesitant about leaving my dog, Max, with someone he didn’t know well, but should not have been concerned. Ranee and her family pampered Maxie and let him have the run of the place. Excellent loving care, with a lot of feedback to me, which I appreciate so very much. I’ve already got Max’s next stay booked.”

“I adopted Scooby three months ago and this was his first time being away from me and my first time using Rover. Azalea was amazing! She updated me regularly and sent pics. Due to winter weather our plans changed several times and Azalea was understanding and flexible. Could tell Scooby felt at ease in her home! Will definitely use her again!!”

“As always our girls were given the best care by Amber and her son. We had to extend the stay by one night due to unforseen circumstances and Amber was so understanding and accommodating which in turn relieved so much stress as we were out of town. We cannot thank Amber enough ❤️”

Kathleen P.

“I can't thank Joanne enough for taking great care of my baby, I have never left her with anyone before and I was very apprehensive. Once I met Joanne, I was immediately at ease in leaving Sable with her for 5 days. I will definitely use Joanne for future sittings and taking great care of my baby.”

Jim C.

“Loved how Christine sent pictures to us every day. I know they took good care of our dog as if she wer her own. They also took her to the dog park and on walks. Very good people☺️”
