Pet Boarding DeKalb

“Adam and Erica are a lovely family with two beautiful kids, a dog and a cat. They watched my two dogs and everyone got along perfectly. The home was clean and well kept and the yard was fenced. They had my dogs for three days, they send photos and updates and all went as planned. I would have no reservations recommending them to anyone who has a dog that is both kid friendly and animal friendly. Very nice family who took great care of my pups.”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was young. I've always had a dog growing up! After moving to Sycamore in 1998, I moved into a farm. We had almost every farm animal, as well as cats. I've had all of my dogs from puppies until the end. Come summer, I am free all the time! I work at the school district! Just weekends are softball. My oldest is on a traveling team! I will follow what is needed to be done with your pet! Treat your pet like my own fur baby. Always lots of love and treats (if that’s okay with the treats lol)

“Kristine and her daughter did a wonderful job taking care of our golden retriever. He seemed very happy and content when we picked him up. He takes meds for seizure control and they were able to administer this with no issues. Plus- when I picked him up they had brushed him and had him looking so handsome !”

About: 🐾 Senior Dog Experience 🐾 Puppy Experience 🐾 Reactive Dog Experience 🐾 Anxious Dog Experience 🐾 Training & Coaching Experience Whether your dog is super anxious, super chill, extra bossy, extra playful, or just needs someone who truly gets it- I offer experienced and thoughtful care that adapts to their individual personality. From enrichment games to slow warmups, and athletic activity to assisted mobility, I meet your dog where they are physically and support them emotionally. Great with high energy, nervous, and special need dogs, but I welcome all temperaments! You'll always get detailed notes and they’ll always get real connection. No guesswork, no missed meds, no rushed visits. Just reliable, behavior-savvy care for dogs and their big feelings. If your pup needs someone who truly understands them while you’re away, I’d love to help. My wife and I both work from home so my schedule is flexible. I’m happy to make your pet a priority and be consistent care you can count on. I can keep up with your dog’s home routines and provide playtime, walks, feedings and medication while you’re away. My home has a large, grassy, fenced in yard with nature views and a lot of cozy places to rest inside. I never use crates unless asked to, and your dog will be treated like one of my own— spoiled, safe, and seen.

“Jen took great care of my dogs for 5 days. She sent me updates and pictures every day. One of the dogs had an upset stomach and Jen kept me up to date on how she was doing. She cared for them like her own dog!! I will be booking with her again. I highly recommend!!”

“Carla was great. Fin was good company with her dog, and Carla sent me periodic photos of Fin being comfortable and well cared for. Fin is just under 16, and is very old and slow at this point. Carla even carried Fin up stairs at nights so that he could sleep in their bedroom with their dog, rather than alone by himself downstairs. Carla also gave fin his morning meds with his food. Thank you, Carla!”

“Our dog Marty had a wonderful stay at Maria’s house. He was all smiles when we picked him up. I would recommend Maria to anyone who likes their dog to have fun interacting with other dogs.”

“Omg Amy is the best! She was so caring for my puppy and I absolutely felt like he is at home. He was well taken care of. I really really love the way she paid attention to detail and also sent me pictures and videos from time to time. Will work with her again!”

About: For over six years, I’ve been the go to sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I've cared for pets of all ages and personalities. I learned at a young age how important it is to make sure animals feel safe, happy, and cared for. What sets me apart is how personal I make each visit. I take time to understand what makes your pet feel secure and tailor my care to match their routine. My goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and make your time away as stress‑free as possible. I work a hybrid schedule and live in a pet and family neighborhood, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets throughout the week. My availability is always up to date, and I’m happy to offer boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits and dog walking to fit your pet’s needs. My priority is to provide exceptional care for your furry friend! I’ll keep you reassured with plenty of photo updates, ensuring your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to accommodate any specific needs, including dietary requirements, medication, potty breaks, walks, etc.

About: I have a wide range of expirence with all types of breeds since I was 10. I work from home so I am around most of the time. I am currently training for a hiking marathon and my dog cannot make all the miles I need in a day. Love active dogs and all their quirks. I am up at 4:30 every morning. Walking my first dog at 5am. I get my teenage son off to school. I work in my home office until 2pm. During this time my dogs have full run of the house and my large fenced in yard. They have full access to toys and water throughout the day. Then time to walk 2 other dogs. After dinner I am walking my senior dog on his personalized walk. He loves to play with other dogs but also loves his evening walk solo. I have a large fenced in back yard. Poop is regularly picked up. I have 2 dogs and they are treated like one of the family. They have their routines and enjoy the many pampering they get. My dogs are allowed anywhere in the home. They have many toys, treats, and snuggles.

About: I have been taking care of all different types of animals since I was very young. My mom was a vet tech, she brought home animals to nurse back to health. We also fostered many animals. I found my love for animals then. Especially dogs and cats. I have had so many cats and dogs growing up its hard to keep count. I had had small, big and huge dogs in my lifetime. I have experience with dogs with anxiety and elderly dogs. I can administer oral medications. I have volunteered at shelters in the past. And I have also fostered dogs with several organizations. I have two dogs of my own that are both rescues. They both love all dogs and play very well with other dogs. Im a work from home dog mom. I am free for doggy daycare most days. I am also available for overnight stays and weekends. I am open to overnight stays during the week or weekends. My schedule is very flexible. My dogs are allowed on the bed and couches so your dog is too. If you dont allow that at your home I will do my best to keep your dog off of the furniture. Dogs must be spayed or neutered. I prefer your dog be microchipped and up to date on all vaccines.

“Rabia and her family did an excellent job of taking care of Archie, my golden retriever. They are so caring and loving! Rabia was very accommodating to a last minute change in schedule and very attentive, giving us frequent updates. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs reassurance their pet is being well looked after with so much love!”

Maria G.

“Giedre was amazing with my babies. I’ve never boarded them before so my anxiety was high. She made sure to send me pictures and messages with daily updates. They were well taken care of and her family also spent time with my animals and cared for them like their own. I’d recommend Deidre 100% and if I need boarding services she will be first on my list.”

“Samantha is such a kind-hearted, knowledgeable, and accommodating dog sitter! She sent me so many wonderful pictures while my pup stayed with her and it was obvious that he got spoiled with attention. She is the best, I cannot say it enough!”

Joanna S.

“Our dogs loved staying with Maggie and her family! She was very responsive and took great care of our dogs!”

Chelsey M.

“Barbara and her family were very accommodating and I felt confident in dropping my dog off with them. I could tell my dog would be well loved, which is always a concern when leaving your dog with someone else. It is hard finding someone who is willing to take one dog at a time and my dog doesn’t get along with other dogs, so she and her family were the perfect fit! Thank you again Barbara!”

Kimberly M.

“I left my 4 month old puppy with Melissa & Justin for his first time with a sitter, and had a great experience! Their dogs are very well-behaved and friendly & I felt totally at ease leaving my pup to play with theirs for the evening. Melissa sent pictures throughout & was quick to respond to my messages, so I felt reassured all night that he was in good hands. I came home with an exhausted puppy, which is all I can ask for!”

About: I’ve taken care of my family dog until he passed. He was 16yrs old. I also take care of my sisters dog. He is a Husky/ German Shepard mix. My dog recently passed and I miss walking him. His daily walks were 7am and 6:30pm. I’m also opened to walking your dog on weekends. I have a huge fenced yard and a one floor home to reduce stair climbing for senior dogs. I have a car seat for small dogs and do enjoy taking them on DQ runs with the owners permission.
