Pet Boarding in Bridgeview

About: I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved. I work part-time on the night shift, so I'm unavailable Monday through Friday between 10pm and 3am. Outside of that- my schedule is flexible. I am also available on most weekends and holidays. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a very large, unfenced yard. I own a variety of animal care supplies and equipment including lunge-line leashes to keep dogs safely on my property.

“Candace is very good to my dogs during their stay. She asked some questions that she needed to know more about my dogs. I'm happy that my girls slept with her during the night, just like in my house. I'll definitely book with her again whenever I need her.”

“Tamara is amazing! She picked up Luna for us and even dropped her off before we came back from out of town. Luna had an amazing time playing with Tamara dogs. She has a huge backyard for dogs to play and she loves Luna like she is her own. She even left us some treats for Luna. I recommend Tamara for any services with your fur babies.”

“My dog loves Ethel. She stayed in Ethel’s care for a week and came home like she’s not been away. It’s incredible. Ethel sends pictures of her walks and took her to the dog park. So happy with her services.”

“Matt and Leslie were amazing with Gunnar. He seemed to have a wonderful time. They were very communicative and send pics and videos daily. Their dog, Cooper, was an absolute sweetheart and was very easy going (didn’t even seem to mind when Gunnar stole some toys). I would highly recommend them!”

“Chris has watched our dog Mausi multiple times, and helped us maintain a medication regimen for Mausi this time - she is a great go-to dog sitter for us!”

“Cary and her family were absolutely amazing! Our pup is very skittish around new people, but Cary had a plan for every possible scenario! She sent lots of pictures, which we looked forward to every night! Nestle came home happy, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! We will definitely be using Cary for future vacations!”

“Lisette was awesome! I always felt confident that my pup was in good hands and she was great with communication & updates. She was also accommodating with pickup & dropoff times, which was a plus. Would definitely love to have Jax stay with her again! Thanks, Lisette 😌”

“Barbara is AMAZING!! She is everything you could hope for in a person to entrust the care of your pet. She is extremely reliable, and takes her job very seriously, and does it with a very warm disposition. Our dog Lanie is older, and we wanted someone who would understand her needs. Barbara really delivered. She's like a dog whisperer. We received updates and pictures everyday, and Lanie was happy, well rested and given EXCELLENT care while staying with Barbara and Chewy. Her dog Chewy has a great personality too, and was a lovely companion for our dog to hang out with. She covered every aspect of Lanie's care with us beforehand in detail, and I have never been more at ease with leaving Lanie with her. We've had a lot of boarding experiences over the years, and Barbara is hands down, simply the BEST! We have already booked with her for another upcoming stay, and I am so happy to have found someone who is so dedicated and genuine. If I could give her 10 stars instead of 5, I would!”

“I’ve booked with Tanqueray twice now and both times have been great. She communicates daily with pictures and my pup came home happy and well taken care of.”

“Blanca was great! My dog gets a bit home sick but she seemed to settle in nicely with Blanca. Her other dogs were very welcoming as well. We will definitely use her services again.”

“Emily watched my senior dog, Chloe for 4 days while I was out of town. Chloe is on a ton of meds and is a very anxious girl so I get nervous when I have to leave her. Emily was super communicative and sent lots of pics. She followed directions very well and Chloe seemed to really like her! I highly recommend booking Emily.”

“Katie and Andrew were amazing! My dog warmed up to Andrew quickly, even though my dog doesn’t tend to like men. They went so many pictures and it made my heart so happy. 10/10, will use them again!”

Samantha L.

“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”

Holly T.

“I cannot recommend Mercedes enough! I was looking for a last minute sitter and Mercedes was very responsive and took my dog at last minute notice. Mercedes went above and beyond when caring for my pup and I never felt more comfortable with a sitter. She took amazing care of my dog and kept me informed! She showed incredible kindness to me and my pup ❤️”

Karina K.

“Robert and his family were perfect! They communicated often with pictures and updates, took care of giving Puck his medicine, and treated him like he was their own. When I picked up I could tell how happy Puck had been. I would gladly use them again, even though it is a long drive for me. It is worth it to get the extra attention.”

Luis R.

“Karen was the best. First time using her as our other sitter was not available. She was so easy to work with. She took lovingly care of our dog and she sent multiple pictures every day. That was so reassuring. Our dog came back happy to us.”
