Dog Boarding in Des Plaines

“Eileen was awesome!!! This was Spike’s first time with a dog sitter and I couldn’t have been happier about it! I loved the daily updates and photos which really eased my mind! I will def be using her again in the future!”

“Roxie had a great stay with Lori & Guillermo! They are so warm and welcoming, and treated Roxie like she was part of their family. They sent lots of pictures and we could tell she was having a great time. Will definitely use them again next time we go on vacation.”

“Wendy and her family took Basha for the weekend and made her part of their pet-loving family - who could ask for more? Wendy sent us photos, and knowing that Basha was in a loving attentive home meant we were able to really enjoy our trip (even though we missed our dog). Basha got so much exercise that she came back tired and content. The pick-up and drop-off is an added bonus - the whole stay was perfect. We will definitely be checking with Wendy when we need to travel without Basha again!”

“Hanna was great. She accommodated us on very short notice and took great care of our sweet-but-anxious old pup Wembley. She was very responsive and easy to coordinate with. We'd gladly recommend her.”

“My god was in the best of hands with a terrific family that took great care of my fur-baby! He cuddled and played with everyone, and was just super happy the whole stay. Wonderful family!”

“This was Charlie's second visit with Vicki and he will be back. Vicki is an awesome care giver. She is easy to work with and provides great communication before, during and after the visits. The photos during the visit are very reassuring.”

“Thomas and Kelly were super communicative and were able to accommodate my request on short notice. I got daily photos updates and I can tell she was in great hands. Thank you both for taking care of Emery!”

“We left our dog with Bob for 7 nights while on vacation and didn’t worry once. Bob sent daily videos and was very responsive and accommodating from the moment we booked him. A few days before our trip Bob worked with us to schedule a time to bring our dog by to meet him and for us to see his set up. Once we saw Bob interact with our dog and ty either dogs that were there we were confident that we made the right decision. I would highly recommend Bob to anyone and we will certainly book him again.”

“I can't recommend Mario enough for anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter! Mario watched my dog Dean for five days, and I couldn't be happier with the service he provided. He sent me daily pictures and videos of Dean, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. Mario made sure Dean received his medication on time and gave him plenty of love and attention. I could tell that Dean was in good hands the whole time. Thank you, Mario, for your excellent care and professionalism. I will definitely be reaching out to you again in the future!”

“Undram took care of our puppy and put in genuine care and time into his sitting. She sent us several photo updates and was patient with our pup! Thank you!”

“Loren was great with my pup. She was kind, sent me updates daily and had the supplies at her house to make him feel at home. He came home happy and calm. Will use Loren again anytime.”

“Fantastic experience with Laura and Vladimir. Communication was great throughout. They sent pictures and updates on the dogs daily. Both my dogs seemed really happy when I picked them up. Would definitely recommend and use them again.”

About: I've grown up with dogs and enjoy dogsitting for my family and friends. I don't currently have any pets in my home, so would love to spend some quality time with your furry friends. Rules: 1. I request that all dogs are able to sleep on their own and through the night. 2. Dogs must not have any on going health issues and must be vaccinated against rabies, bordatella, and distemper. They must also be on flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. 3. No un-neutered or unspayed dogs over 1 year of age. 4. Separation anxiety - while I am home almost the majority of the time, there are instances where I will have to leave for at most 4 hours in a day. Therefore, if your dog has separation anxiety, please let me know in advance before booking. Extra fees apply. 5. Socialization - Please let me know how your dog handles being around other dogs. While I can take dogs that aren't yet socialized with other dogs, I will need to keep them in a separate bedroom to themselves to ensure everyone's safety. 6. ZERO POLICY FOR AGGRESSION - If your dog shows any form of aggression, you will need to arrange pick up for your dog within 24 hours of notice. I plan my schedule around our dogs, and try to bring them as many places with me as I can. They are never left alone for more than 4 hours, and that is only when I have to run errands (e.g., grocery shopping). If you are booking a boarding visit, I require that your pup is crate trained. While dogs will be allowed to roam our home freely, a crate will help ensure they are kept safe.

“Cristina is an amazing dog sitter. We have two doodles, an 11 year old labradoodle and a 2 year old Berne doodle and everytime we go on vacation we rely on Cristina to help us care for our two pups. Her family and home is also an amazing environment for our pups, and I would not go anywhere else or rely on anyone else other than Cristina.”

“Conor watched our pup over Christmas and the cold snap. She seemed cozy and happy with Conor and his family, and he was flexible about our last-minute pickup arrangement after some travel disruption.”

“Kent really cares. Such a kind man! He was great with Penny, so thoughtful and attentive. He had lots of questions and wants to know everything he can so he can provide the best care. When I had questions or just wanted to check in he was so fast to respond. Thanks so much! Highly recommended!”

“Lauren and her family were so great with our dog. I would highly recommend them. Lauren was very communicative and made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog.”

“Paula and her family were so wonderful while watching my dog! She was communicative, easy to coordinate with and so kind and friendly! Will definitely book again :)”

“We had a fantastic first experience with leaving our pup Ace for 4 days/3 nights. We were given updates with pics and videos multiple times a day which eased all our minds at leaving our 4 legged family member while we were on a ski trip. Joe is clearly knowledgeable on how to acclimate a dog to new surroundings and caretaker. We appreciate his insight as a certified dog trainer; we are lucky to have been connected to him and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”

“Janette and Charles did a great job for my first time having Leo watched. They made sure he was cared for and got along with the other dogs they had. Would recommend them”
