Pet Boarding Downers Grove

“Traci was so accommodating for our pup and he loved his stay! She sent us so many pictures and videos that we were never left wondering what he was up to. We will definitely be reaching out to Traci for any future pupsitting needs :)”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily routine. From playful puppy stages to slower-paced senior dogs, I have experience in it all. Whether it’s feeding and walking or playtime and cuddles, I truly enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I also have two cats of my own that I absolutely spoil, so I understand how important it is to give pets plenty of attention, affection, and care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with someone nearby, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I start Physician Assistant school in the fall, so for now I have lots of free time and can dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. Because my schedule is open, I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. With the weather getting warmer, I’m especially happy to take dogs out for walks or spend time outdoors so they can get fresh air and exercise. My flexible routine allows me to make sure pets receive consistent care, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. I live in a clean, spacious apartment that provides a calm and comfortable environment for pets. My complex also has great outdoor spaces, including courtyards and a dog park, as well as safe walking areas, which makes it easy for dogs to get fresh air, exercise, and playtime. At home, I have two very loved cats who are used to a quiet, well-maintained environment. They are a big part of my life and help make our home feel warm and welcoming. I always prioritize slow, respectful introductions so every pet feels comfortable and safe in the space. Safety and routine are very important to me. I’m able to follow any specific care instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medication routines, or crate training if needed. My goal is to create a stress-free, secure environment where your pet feels relaxed and cared for while you’re away.

“Amanda and her family were absolutely wonderful with Margeaux and made our first Rover/pet service experience a very positive one. Margeaux is looking forward to us going out of town again so she can spend time with her new buddies :)”

“Isabel is just amazing. My cat Lucy doesn’t usually warm up to strangers but I think from Lucy and other reviews, it just speaks to Isabel’s character and skill as a pet sitter and owner. She made sure to check with me and keep me updated throughout her time with Lucy and I’m so glad I was able to come across her services as Lucy has medical needs. I can’t think of anyone better to look after my furry friend!”

“Our dog seems to have had a great time at Lynda's! When we would leave our pup at a dog shelter, even one called a "resort", he would come home baying in the car and traumatized. But today he came home happy and fine. They have a great system at Lynda's for how they take care of the dogs, keep them safe, etc. They are super careful and very experienced.”

“Barbara had great communication and provided pics and updates. I appreciated that she provided my pup with lots of activity and our dog was pooped when she got home!”

“Sarah was great with our dog Pandora. She responded quickly to our request (which was last minute) and scheduled a quick meet and greet, which was very nice. Pandora took to her right away, and looks like she enjoyed her time there. Sarah sent updates a couple times a day along with pictures, which was wonderful. Overall a great experience!”

“Karen and her family were wonderful with Freddy. It was great getting updates and photos of him while we were gone. When I came to pick him up we chatted for a bit and I could tell how much Freddy liked Karen because of how he would keep going back and forth between us for attention.”

“What a wonderful experience this was for my elderly kitty, who was so well cared for. I've never seen her adjust so quickly. Thank you, Phyllis, for taking such good care of my kitty. Definitely recommend!!”

“Adriana was great! I left my pup for the first time ever for several days with her. She was so great in keeping me updated on his well being and he even got to make new friends! She’s also very accommodating. I definitely plan on having my pup stay with her when needed.”

“Lisa and her family was amazing! They treated my dog with a lot of love, and he definitely loves to spend time with them! Their kids are really lovely and played with with my dog too!”

Veronica M.

“I highly recommend Kim. From the meet and greet, we knew Leila, our 12 year old Havanese, will be happy and safe. Kim and her kids are pet lovers. The moment we parked our car, and as soon as her kids saw Leila, they hugged and played with her, so adorable. Kim would send photos every few hours, which I appreciate. Kim lives in a safe and quiet community in Darien, she also has a decent size backyard where Leila can play. Kim also texts me for any updates. Leila loves the attention! Thanks Kim :)”

“Amazing! Highly recommend Connie. She sent me pictures of Bruno and also has a amazing fenced backyard. Her dog was also adorable and got along with Bruno really well.”

“Mary was amazing with our dog, Kobe! This was our first time leaving him with someone who wasn’t family, and she immediately put us at ease. She sent multiple updates, pictures, and videos each day, and it was clear he was happy and well cared for. We’d absolutely book with her again!”

Britany F.

“Elise did a great job watching our dog for a week while we were on vacation. She sent photos and let us know how he was doing. We felt very comfortable, knowing that he was in great hands. I’d definitely recommend having Elise watch your pet!”

“The most amazing and patient couple! Our puppy is a challenge to say the least but we felt super comfortable having Neelank watching Nikki. The communication was superb and we appreciate the constant updates and photos. Thank you so much for letting our girl stay with you. It was such a pleasure to meet such great people! I’d definitely book with them again … if they allow us? and promise Nikki will be less crazy.”
