Dog Boarding in Clearing, Chicago

“I brought Jake out of town with us and my initial plan changed last minute requiring a sitter. At first, I was hesitant to try the service because of how special Jake is to us. However, I'm glad I did Katherine was wonderful. She provided updates and pictures of Jake's stay with her throughout the time she cared for him. I will definitely use her service 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.”

“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”

“Elizabeth and her family were such wonderful dog sitters. We have a senior dog with special needs, and they took very good care of him, giving him lots of attention and care. We very much appreciate the special care, attention, and communication. We received regular updates and if there were any health concerns, we knew immediately. I had peace of mind knowing our senior dog was well cared for and monitored closely.”

“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!”

“Angelina went above and beyond caring for our Butterscotch. Excellent communication and multiple pictures sent every day. She even noticed his itchy skin issue and offered to recommend homeopathic remedies. Will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Susan was great! She sent plenty of pics and photos daily of my fur baby. He was super happy and enjoyed himself. He stayed for 9 days and had a ton of fun. She has a couple of sweet fur babies of her own which make for nice playmates to keep company. Overall I would book her again and again whenever she is available to watch my pet if needed. Thanks so much for being awesome!”

“So thankful for Kyla & Barbara (her mom) for taking care of Drogo! Drogo’s very happy. They have updates with photos & videos everyday. They are very sweet & accommodating. We even did a video call because our daughter missed Drogo so much! We’ll definitely book them again when we visit the area. ❤️?”

“Manuel was an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Swoosh, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he provided. From the moment we connected, Manuel was responsive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout the stay, he sent me regular updates and adorable photos of Swoosh, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Swoosh looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was clear he was being treated like part of the family. I’m so grateful for the love and attention Manuel gave to my pup. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with him again. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Barbara was awesome! Unfortunately I booked with a different sitter who subsequently stated she could not watch my dog (Bailey) less than 24 hours after I dropped her off. The sitter stated Bailey was barking frantically and subsequently cancelled shortly before I was supposed to board my international flight with my family early the following morning. For Bailey to be barking frantically is unlike Bailey. Rover subsequently reached out to several sitters on my behalf while I was on my flight and described Bailey as having “separation anxiety” because of what the other sitter stated and “needing plenty of attention and play time”. Unlike to how Bailey was described, Bailey doesn’t bark much and has a calm temperament. My whole flight my family and I were wondering what would happen with Bailey in reference to how she was being described and if she’d be in good hands. Barbara fortunately volunteered for the job and her and I texted briefly while still on my flight because she wanted to know more about Bailey. I advised her that the manner in which the other sitter was describing Bailey was out of character. Barbara subsequently volunteered to pickup Bailey from the other sitter. Once Barbara was with Bailey she sent me a picture and reassured me Bailey was in good hands. Barbara would routinely send me pictures on updates of Bailey throughout the days we were gone. Additionally, Barbara gave Bailey her medicine twice daily for her ear infection. Barbara was great and I would recommend her services.”

“Second time with Judith and as always - didn’t disappoint and Atlas runs to her! He loves Judith! She is extremely flexible! When I had an early morning flight, Judith was willing to let me drop Atlas off in the middle of the night on my way to the airport. She was super accommodating and as always thoughtful, making Atlas a friendship bracelet! 🥹”

“Janet was awesome in taking care of our furry baby Panda. she has obviously taken care of a lot of pets over the years and she updated us regularly with photos and videos. We would gladly leave Panda in her care again as the need arises.”

“Without a doubt, the pet-sitting service I've used is top-notch. Extremely meticulous and prompt, we easily trust our cat (Boots) to Guillermina's care. Guillermina has shown exceptional professionalism, a keen eye for detail, and a remarkable understanding of Boots (our cat). Guillermina is highly dedicated and efficient in her work. She consistently sends out pictures and messages daily, diligently following all instructions. Her efforts are greatly appreciated by Boots, who adores her! Guillermina deeply understands animals due to her extensive experience and impressive track record working with cats and dogs. We plan to have her care for our Boots and dog (Yolly) during our upcoming trip soon! Guillermina is an exceptional sitter with a warm and caring personality towards cats and dogs; you will not regret it! Thank you again, Guillermina, for all you did for our Boots; YOU are the best!”

About: I’ve been working with animals professionally since I was 19 — I’m now 26. Over the years, I’ve worked as a vet assistant, a professional groomer, and at a pet store, gaining hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. These days, my main focus is boarding, walking, and house sitting — and it’s something I genuinely love doing. What sets my care apart is the family-style experience I offer. When your dog stays with me, they aren’t just being watched — they’re becoming part of our daily life. It’s usually me, my young son, and my partner Brian. We go on nature walks, play outside, and include your dog in everything like they’re part of the crew. This isn’t just pet sitting — it’s a second home. I’ve found that so many dogs (and their humans) are looking for that feeling of safety, love, and belonging — even if they haven’t put it into words yet. That’s exactly what I try to create here. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — including shy rescues, high-energy pups, and seniors. I’m trained in animal behavior, have my own vehicle, and can adapt to your dog’s specific needs and temperament. 🚗 Please note: For boarding in my home, dogs must be comfortable around kids and okay with cats, since we do have both. I want everyone (human and animal) to feel safe and relaxed. Whether your pup needs playtime, quiet time, cuddles, or space, I always meet them where they are — with patience, love, and respect. I work from home part time, so your fur baby will fit in perfectly with my schedule. I am looking for something to do that will occupy more of my time, and what better way than to spend it with a new furry friend to love?! I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat who is more like a dog. I can keep him separate if ever needed. My house is a little over 1,300 sq ft so there’s plenty of space. If you need your pet to be crated I am comfortable with that. As well as if any medication is needed to be given or frequent walks. I will always respect the home of the pet and owner. Just point me where I need to go with some guidance regarding you fue baby’s routine, you are in great hands!
