Dog Boarding in Dawson, IL

“Pam was great with my dogs. She gave consistent updates and even contacted me about a concern with one of the dogs. She and her family were caring and the dogs seemed to enjoy their time with her. I would definitely use her again when the need arises.”

“Karen is absolutely amazing. My Abby is well taken care of and she helped us out when we lost power for 8 days. I never had to worry about my Abby which is a huge relief”

“Rover Rob is our go to at all time. Would recommend to anybody needing a dog sitter. His home and yard make me feel safe leaving my dogs there.”

“My crazy puppy has a great time at Sarah’s house this weekend! I love that she sent lots of updates and pics of my baby playing with another dog. We will happily book again for next time!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and owner. I’ve personally had the pleasure of owning three cats in my lifetime that have gone on to their senior years. I’ve taken care of roommates’ dogs and have had great experiences living with them, as well as neighbors’ pets in the past. I am certainly open to accommodating puppies training schedules (lol as I work on training my own), and will gladly provide needed care for senior animals. I am currently mostly always at home taking care of my son who is going to be two in January. I’m hoping to work your pets schedule into our routine as well as care for pets that need to be boarded in our home. We spend a lot of time at home, I know having your animals in our house will brighten our days. My little guy loves dogs and cats, and I have been bringing him to the pet store for fun anyways throughout the day. We are typically up and moving, ready to go by early afternoon, and bedtime is around 8 o’clock. My hours are flexible between that time And I can do overnights. I would be happy to build relationships with pet owners and become their regular go to. We often go to Washington Park to walk and play. I have a fenced in front and backyard, and would be able to create a space for crating if needed. Honestly, I’m usually pretty up for anything so please inquire for any specifics.

“The very best experience We’ve ever had on Rover and we’ve had some great experiences. This family is absolutely amazing and they go over and above to make everyone feel like a million dollars, especially our dog. We highly recommend Maddy!”

About: I am a veterinary assistant at a vaccine clinic, and have additional experience as a kennel attendant at a Doggy Daycare! I am a current graduate student at SIU School of Medicine and am an aspiring veterinarian. I’m a full-time graduate student, and work a 9-5 Monday through Friday. I am available during the evening and depending on your proximity to SIU School of Medicine, am available for walks throughout the day. I am able to spend 24 hours with your pet on the weekends! I am a graduate student, so most of my time will be spent studying! I grew up always having 2 dogs, so I am very used to taking frequent study breaks to play with and snuggle with your dog! With prior experience as a kennel attendant, I am very comfortable with administering any medications necessary and providing a clean and safe environment for your pet.

“Chloe and her fur kids were amazing in caring for my small dog, Bailey. Communication was above and beyond what I expected with frequent updates including photos. I was able to be away for two nights, with not a single worry as it was very clear Bailey was being cared for just as much as I would have. It was obvious that Bailey had a great time and she got tons of attention! I will definitely be leaving Baikey with Chloe again and would highly recommend her!”

“Angelly was amazing with my puppy! Great communication and photo updates. As a first time Rover user in need of a dog sitter, Angelly couldn’t have been better! I will definitely use her again. Highly recommend!”

“Jaci was absolutely wonderful with our boy KudJo. We will definitely be requesting her again.”

“It always a good experience for my young pup returning to Alyssa's home. She & her own 2 sweet pups clearly like him too. I truly appreciate Alyssa’s flexibility for us while we’ve had some family emergencies too. She is creative & seemingly unflappable. The large fenced yard is perfect our Springer to play with the dogs & numerous toys. He has a rich experience here that is more than simply boarding him. As a youngster he has been learning that people & dogs are good & that will benefit his whole life.”

“Kari is a rare find!!! I am new to the area and have used Kari a few times. Her and her husband are very kind and great to my dogs. My dogs used to come home from being boarded at a facility and sleep for days from being so stressed. I pick them up from Kari’s and they are ready to play!?!! Highly recommend ❤️❤️”

“Excellent!! Nakee was able to care of my puppy in a very short notice. She is very friendly, and accommodating”

“Bentley loves going over and staying with John. He has a fenced in yard with doggie door. Bentley loves to play with other dogs and always comes home tired and happy. Already have another scheduled time with John.”

“First time user of this app and Yakima made me feel safe with leaving my son pup in her care. Milo is a rescue dog and I've only had him a short time in which I have never left him. She sent me pics and sent me updates on how he was adjusting. I would definitely use her again to watch my son pup when I go out of town. Thank you Yakima!”

“LaMyiah was amazing! From the start, Miri loved her and I could tell she felt calm and welcomed during drop off when she wasted no time sniffing around in her “perimeter search”. LaMyiah’s communication was amazing, including pictures with her updates and she responded very quickly when I reached out. I would absolutely leave Miri with her again. She came home wiped out and super happy from her adventure this weekend.”

“Kassidy is a reliable and responsible person in general and absolutely adores all animals. She is so kind and patient and gentle and loving to all. Kassidy loves to play with animals and go on walks with them any chance she gets.”

“Catera was a great host for my dog Rue. She sent updates and pictures. Rue needed some medical care and Catera was more than happy to do whatever she needed.”

“Sara was great! We loved getting our updates and pictures of our dog while in her care. I would definitely trust Sara with my pup in the future!”

“Kyle and Lyndzie were great! So much room for King to run and play and they sent pics during his stay! They were able to accommodate our super last minute booking and were absolutely wonderful! Will book again in the future!!!”
