Dog Boarding in Crystal Lake

“We left our Poodle with Sarah for 7 days and I couldn't be happier with the way Sarah treated our baby. Our puppy is somewhat spoiled and has specific needs and mannerisms that can make it extremely difficult to leave with another person. From our very first meet and greet Sarah was extremely kind and assured us that Katia (our puppy) will be treated as one of the family. Sarah during our vacation would send us frequent reports about Katia and it always sound like she was having tons of fun. Nevertheless, the most important clue on whether or not Katia had a great time, came right at the end, when we were picking her up. After the initial shock of seeing us, Katia started crying and pushing, trying to get back to Sarah's house as we were walking away. I can highly recommend Sarah for all your puppy's needs and we will be returning to her for our next vacation.”

“Craig was the perfect person to leave my puppy with. Puppies are not the easiest but Craig has so much knowledge and training that I felt completely comfortable leaving her with him and he has given me so many helpful advice. I highly recommend Craig!”

“She was fantastic with my dog. We had a last minute change of plans with our other sitter days before a trip and she took him in no problem. She was very patient with him and made sure he was content in her home. Would highly recommend.”

“We were impressed with how Ben interacted with our dog (Murphy). His dog experience really showed through. He seemed to understand Murphy's needs and personality. Ben has a wonderful, fenced in backyard - there is lots of room for dogs to sniff and exercise. We also appreciated the updates on how Murphy was doing. We haven't left him much and that gave us such peace of mind. When the time came to pick Murphy up, Murphy was happy to see us, but not desperate to leave! We look forward to having Ben watch him in the future.”

“This was Medea's second time staying with Derek, and she clearly had just as good a time as the first! She came home extremely tired and content, so I know she played a lot. Derek always sends prompt and detailed updates, so I know she's in good hands when we send her there.”

“Shelby and Jose do a wonderful job caring for Layla while we are away. Layla is always so excited to see them both whenever we arrive to drop her off; it’s clear she enjoys her time with them. They send lots of pictures and updates throughout her stays and are very communicative and easy to plan with. I highly recommend them!”

“Jessica was amazing and very accommodating with our skittish rescue dog. She was also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. We have booked her again!”

“Cheryl and her husband were so accommodating with our big pup, Titus and were so friendly and welcoming! Sent us pictures with updates and did great with him. Will definitely go to her again in the future.”

“Fantastic. Amazing. Our dog enjoyed his stay with this family. I appreciated the communication, flexibility and updates from my dog’s boarding. Can’t wait to book with them again.”

“Repeat customer here. My pup is never happier than when I walk up to Megan’s front door. He puts his paws on the door and wags his tail, anxiously awaiting her arrival. It’s truly his “home away from home”. She is extremely communicative throughout the boarding process sending multiple pictures and updates on how he is doing. Megan does a great job walking him and giving him tons of play time. He’s a 5 month old puppy that requires a ton of attention and she is more than capable of handling it. I can rest easy knowing that if I need to board my pup he is in great hands.”

“Maisy liked being with Kathleen and John - She came home happy and bouncing and her very own self. Kathleen and John are a wonderful couple who loved and cared for our Maisy for the time that we were gone. They gave us the peace of mind not to have to worry about our little one.”

“She is a very thoughtful and caring person who has taken care of my dog numerous times. She always follows care instructions carefully and is gentle with my dog. My dog loves her and is always happy to stay with her or go for a walk. Would not hesitate to let her take care of my dog any time!”

“Gina is a wonderful and compassionate person who loves all animals big and small! From ferrets to dogs, she’ll make sure your pet is loved and enriched while they are in her care.”

“Kelly is AMAZING! Our dog, Freddy stayed with Kelly and her family while we were away on vacation. They took Fred in like he was part of their family. She sent wonderful updates and photos throughout his stay. We were thrilled with her service and will definitely be using her again!”

“We travel a lot for work and adventure during the summer and knowing Lola is in great hands is a MUST ! This was Lola third stay with Allison ! This is her second home =) she jumps out the car now when we drop her off. Allison is amazing !! She keeps us updated during the stay and treat our Fur baby like her own ! I would totally recommend !! She’s already booked for our upcoming travel dates.”

“What a great experience with Arielle and her family. Loved all the pictures and our boy looked like he had such a happy time. Will definitely book again. Thank you!”

“Dorene and her son Noah were awesome with my golden retriever Charlie. It was so comforting to leave him with caring “dog” people rather than a boarding kennel. I could tell when I picked Charlie up how he had bonded with both of them. I will definitely use Doreen for Charlie in the future.”

“Indre is great! Our pup was well taken care of and was well taken care of.”

“Beth was so responsive and took great care of Jude! I will definitely be booking with her again as I knew he was in good hands the whole time. She sent updates and pictures and made me feel very comfortable leaving Jude in her care.”

“This was our first time leaving our dog onboarding and it was a really good experience for her, thank you Dahzia for taking care of Emma while we were gone. She did great, she sent updates and pictures.”
