Dog Boarding Gage Park

“Our boy with separation anxiety came back from Kayla’s in much better shape than when he is boarded(not that they do anything wrong). Kayla responds quickly to any questions we have, and always keeps us updated with pictures! We would definitely be happy to send our guy to Kayla again.”

“Mike and Joanna came through in a pinch for us when our accommodations changed unexpectedly while traveling. Our dogs stayed with them for two nights and Joanna sent photos and updates every day. It was pretty much a spa vacation for them, with a pool and a ball pit and new dig friends, and couch snuggles at night. We know where our dogs will be staying from day one if we are ever back in Chicago!”

Amanda C.

“You can tell they really care about your dog, and treat them like a family member. We will definitely be using their service again in the future!”

Joey L.

“Thank you Tabitha! Rocco had the BEST sleepover. Lots of play time, lots of outside time, and tons of love. Tabitha even made Rocco an Easter basket with doggie treats. She was super patient with him when he was nervous on night one and kept me well informed over the weekend with tons of pictures and updates. He came home happy, clean and we are so grateful for her love.”

Nicole G.

“Guillermina was lovely. The dogs seemed quite happy and well cared for. She updated me with photos or videos every day. She had a nice fenced yard fit the pooches to run in.”

Denise P.

“Magdalena did a great job watching our dog for the week. She proactively provided updates and pictures and was very responsive. She exhibited great care for our dog asking questions related to behaviors and patterns. Will trust her to watch our pets in the future!”

“Andrea did an amazing job watching my dog. He loved playing in the park near her home. I appreciated how flexible that she was when my travel plans changed!”

Fatou G.

“Ms. Beverly is an awesome Lady. My two fur babies had basically a back to back stay. They were well taken care of and I'm sure they had a great time. Ms. Beverly communicated with us on an ongoing basis and sent pictures of their antics. My dogs returned to me full of love they received from Ms. Beverly. I will def be using her in the future for our sitting needs when we travel. Its important that I leave my babies with someone who will be kind and love on them just like we do.”

Shawn L.

“Chloe is a shy and cautious puppy. Janet sent me updates frequently during her stay. She cared about her happiness and went above and beyond to become friends with Chloe. I really appreciate her love for Chloe. I will definitely book with her again in the future. Now I can travel guilt free knowing my puppy is in good hands.”

Shuna W.

“Barbara was absolutely wonderful and very accommodating to a last-minute request. Thank you so much. The girls had a wonderful time. Will definitely be back! 💕”

Bella L.

“Christina is amazing with my baby girl Cocoa!! As soon as we turn the corner, Cocoa cant contain her excitement to reach Christina’s home. I get a bunch of updates and cuddly pics while I’m away (they’re great but I get fomo!!!) lol”

Marlene S.

“Naihm was fantastic. We usually only ever have trusted family members watch our fur baby. So we’re a bit nervous, especially because he was healing from a scratch on his eye. Naihm was wonderful and was diligent about giving him the medication he needed to help heal his eyes. She also sent plenty of photos and let us know how he was doing. What absolutely have her watch again and highly recommend especially if you have a dog that has special needs.”

Rachel B.

“Baily did an outstanding job taking care of our little Greta (6 years old pug/boston terrier mix rescue). She kept us updated on Greta's stay with her and it was obvious from the updates and accompanying photos that Greta was feeling right at home and being showered with affection by Baily.”

Annette F.

“Ksenia took fantastic care of our dog Alfie! She was super attentive to him and sent us lots of updates during his stay. He also got along really well with her pup! Would definitely board Ksenia again!”

Christiana L.

“Jose was so accommodating to my ever changing schedule. He allayed my fears of leaving Chako for an extended period and was just an all-around good person to watch my chocolate lab. Thanks a bunch!!”

Tara F.

“Our puppy loved Tonya & her son, Ru! She sent us multiple updates & clearly took good care her! She also was flexible when we had a schedule change & didn’t mind watching our fur baby for another night. I would highly recommend Tonya to anyone looking for a dog sitter & will likely try to book her again myself?”

Melanie W.

“Irene was amazing for our dog’s short stay! She sent regular updates with photos, followed our instructions, and Alkali was cozy while staying at their house. We will book her again.”

Marika E.

“Andrea was once again super kind and considerate - the fact that my pet feels comfortable to rush into the apartment building as well as cozy on up to Andrea is a testament to how much trust and care there is delivered! They even offered to drop off my dog to my apartment after I flew in from a trip to help offload some traveling time. Would definitely rebook again!”

Anne N.

“Katie was amazing and took great care of my pups needs and provided updates during a longer stay. Java was very welcoming as well, and we look forward to booking next time with them.”

About: Raised around dogs our whole lives, our loving family excels at attentive care, routine management, gentle handling, daily exercise, and endless affection for your pup! As lifelong animal lovers, we’ve rescued three dogs and two cats over the years. We know firsthand how challenging it can be to find reliable, understanding care—especially for larger dogs. One of our rescue pups, Rocko, was a 120 lb gentle giant and goofball. Because people were often intimidated by his size, finding the right care for him when we traveled was tough. That experience taught us exactly how important it is to have a compassionate, trustworthy pet sitter who sees every dog’s true personality. We helped reunite several lost dogs with their families—always treating every pet as if they were our own. To us, pets are family. When you go on vacation, you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your dog is in safe, loving, and experienced hands. I work from home with full-day availability, leaving only brief fifteen-minute windows in the morning and afternoon for local school drop-off and pickup. My husband will help when he is home from work and on the weekends. Prioritizing absolute safety, visiting pets stay on a private floor, doggie doors, and fenced yard access, safely separate from our resident pets and two young girls. If your furry friend likes to be on his own, or doesn’t like children, they will have their own space. If your dog loves to be around a chaotic loving family, we can offer that too. You let us know the temperament of your furry friend and we will give him the love and attention they want.
