Dog Boarding in Carbondale

“Dyshyn is a terrific caregiver and I will rebook with him my next trip out of town. My dog, Buddy, readily joined his pack (three dogs & two cats) and wasn't in a big hurry to leave when I picked him up. Great experience all around.!”

“The boarding experience was great. I was very pleased with the entire process. Leah took great care of my Lola. I will definitely book again and would suggest if you need a pet sitting service to use Leah. She is great with communication and sending updates during the stay.”

“Steve picked up our dog and dropped him off at our house which was a lifesaver due to my car situation or lack thereof at the moment. I gave him a nice tip since Rover doesn’t take fees from tips. I highly recommend Steve. He is super attentive to our dog and gives me lots of updates throughout the day . Thanks again Steve.”

“I would 100% recommend erin! She is absolutely the best with our baby boy thor. Our dog could be a handful at times but he is the sweetest. You could just tell that they bonded for just even a few days we left him. I would not hesitate to leave him with her cause I know she will take good care of our boy! ?”

About: I've had pets all my life, but it wasn't until I got my first dog, a senior Akita/Shepherd that I truly discovered my passion for animal care. I've been working in the pet care industry for 8 years. My first two years were caring for small animals and reptiles. From there I've spent the last 6 years providing specialized individualized care for dogs of all age and sizes. I am fluent in dog body language and behavior and while I'm not a dog trainer, I love working on important skills with dogs while out on walks or playing in the yard. I've also gained my certification in canine nutrition and am pet CPR & first aid certified with the ability to medicate a variety of animals. Learning each pet's individual quirks and needs is something I truly love. My schedule is quite flexible, so I will always be able to make time for your pup! I'm available for weekday or weekend drop ins or overnights. I have a dog friendly 6 year old Pyrenees mix if your dog is need of some socialization or playtime. Otherwise I'm happy to provide solo one-on-one care. Safety is my #1 priority when it comes to any animal. I pride myself on open and honest communication.

About: I have 3 dogs and three cats have trained all my animals myself. I have patience and understanding with most dogs and cats. Friendly loving and passionate about animal care I have helped with several litters of cats and love to help family and friends be able to understand their animal best friends. Good at time management and healthy fur care for all animals. I watch all three of my dogs majority of the day and keep them on a feeding schedule. I maintain their outdoor patio for play. Provide healthy meals, baths and maintain their strength with healthy dog park activities and play time. They are my friends and many times the best support. Dog kennel training is important. I ensure my pets don’t get territorial about their food or ensure they are apart during feeding. Heathy diets, good activity and a healthy environment for them to grow especially in all types of weather. They have AC for the heat. Outdoor time and lots of indoor time during hard cold days. They are very well hydrated with plenty of water through the day and potty time with park time

“Stephanie took great care of my dog; he gets really anxious around new people but during his stay he had a great time. She is very communicative and kept me in the loop with pictures and updates. I would highly recommend her!”

“Jodie’s home was perfect for my 12+ year old lab. Very dog friendly home, few steps, fenced yard and perfect walking neighborhood. Jodie cared for dog as it was her own.”

About: I am licensed by the State of Illinois to provide free roam boarding, in home pet care, and drop in visits. I ensure that your fur babies receive the highest quality care and are comfortable and stress free. This is my full time job, so you are my number one priority.

They hangout at my home like they would at their own home. I have a fenced in backyard perfect for potty and play.

“Briana was absolutely amazing! She asked questions before confirming to make sure my dog's needs were all met. Her accommodations were next level, providing food, a kennel, and even a spare room for my dog to have his own space. She also took him to the dog park several times and sent me plenty of photos. Briana is by far the best sitter I have ever used and I guarantee she will be for you as well!”

Bailey E.

“We absolutely loved having our pugs stay with Ashley! Our dogs got to spend time with other pups and even do some art projects! 🥰🥰 She was great about updates and accommodations even if our travel plans changed. We highly recommend and will be using her again!”

About: I am a pet lover of my Bichon Frise companions for 30 years now. My original beloved "Buster" was a special needs dog with constant care due to his epileptic seizures. With this past experience, and senior care to the end of his 16 year life, I am more aware of a pets needs than most caregivers. I have also had pets such as cats, birds, and my current lionhead bunny; Cadbury. I am flexible with your pets daily routine requests. I can accommodate morning and evening walks and will be available throughout the day as needed. I have a large yard for their bathroom breaks and my dog Gracie can accompany. There are also several dogs in the neighborhood to socialize with during their walks.
