Dog Boarding in Hainesville, IL

“I think Lucky had a better vacation than I did!! He arrived shaking and scared and left happy and relaxed. Great home for an active dog. Just the right amount of communication.”

“Kim provides the best care! Loved seeing pictures and videos to keep us updated. Abby seemed so happy there...I was worried she might not want to leave! Happy to give a 5 star rating.”

Holly B.

“Open & easy communication. My dog that is very hesitant of new people went up to Norma automatically and on her own. Norma followed my instructions for medication & being leashed. She eased my anxiety greatly for what I’d consider a worrisome dog (she is a runner) will be using again for our next trip. Thank you Norma!”

“Victoria cared wonderfully for my pet. My dog had a happy place to stay and explore in the backyard. She also sent regular updates and videos, which I was looking fwd to.”

Neeta H.

“Katie is an absolutely amazing sitter. She sends so many updates, so you won’t be worried about your fur babies at all. My two dogs spend 4 days with her and they were treated like royalty. Kathleen is so detailed, even giving me a record of their feeding times, potty time and play time etc. She kept them very entertained and brought them for plenty of walks and fun time at the dog park. If my dogs could talk they would tell me they didn’t miss me. Lol. I recommend booking with Kathleen, she knows how to take care of your dog and they will be in great hands. Definitely booking again. Rating beyond: 5/5.”

“Zoe had a wonderful stay. John is kind and very easy to work with. We appreciated the daily updates and pictures and how well she was cared for. We would use him again!”

“This is the fourth of fifth time we used Patricia to watch over our dog. We've never had any concerns or worries once we've dropped him off. Patricia is wonderful to work with and loves our furry companion. Thanks as always!”

“Chisato treated Casper and Gracie like they were members of her own family. She constantly kept us in the loop of their daily goings on with many pictures and movies! Casper and Gracie were having such a good time, I don't think they wanted to come home.😊”

“Angela and her family were incredible with our dog, Sally! We were slightly apprehensive at first because we were not sure how Sally would act around larger dogs, but we could not have been happier. Angela's dogs were incredibly friendly and gentle and got along with Sally instantly. We received pictures and any fears melted away. Also, we loved that someone was always around to spend time with Sally and make sure she stayed out of trouble We highly recommend that anyone give her a try for their pet sitting needs.”

Andrea G.

“She was very inviting and spoiled the girls accordingly. The girls were nice and tired after a full day of play. Absolutely wonderful to work with. We were a little late getting there from when we promised; but she was understanding. I would highly recommend this sitter & if we were ever in the neighborhood again, we would definitely use her!”

Sherry E.

“Kelli was great with my two dogs! From the original meet n greet to picking them up from vacation, the dogs seemed happy and we'll cared for!”

“We needed care for our almost 13 year old quirky dog, Lucy for a week while we traveled to Michigan to be with my mom while she had major surgery/recovery. I found Debbie on Rover and contacted her regarding boarding Lucy while we were gone. On the phone, I immediately felt comfortable with Debbie. We chatted for 15-20 minutes and I told her all of Lucy's "quirks." She invited us over for a meet and greet right away to ensure Lucy (and us) felt comfortable. Our Lucy has been recovering from a leg injury and also has been a VERY picky eater. Therefore we needed someone that would be very patient with her. Debbie and her family were amazing. Debbie and her husband were able to get Lucy to eat regularly and also take her vitamins! This has been a feat for us let me tell you! They even taught me a couple tricks to get Lucy to eat her vitamins! And since Lucy has come home, she has been so much better with her eating and her leg as well! I couldn’t be more happy ? We received updates every single day...and Debbie took so many beautiful photos of Lucy. She really has a talent for photography! I never had to worry for a minute about Lucy. She was spoiled rotten by Debbie and her family. We cannot express how grateful we are to have found Debbie and her family.”

If you are gonna hit up just anybody and put me on your list of 3 or 4 possible then just move along. Last minute is fine, but don't even ask me if you are asking more than one. This is not a game to me and I take it very seriously. I like to leave these few spots open for people who feel the same about their dogs. This is a professional business. Thanks I have been boarding dogs in MY home for over 20 years. I have 3 animal related degrees. Vet tech, groomer and obedience trainer. I have extensive training in nutrition as well.

I am double gated and double fenced inside and out for the safety of your pet. No children, also for the safety of your pet. All dogs are allowed on furniture and also have open cages with big comfy beds. I am here 24/7 as required by IL State law. Also required by law I have separate areas for various reasons if need be.

There is a separate dog refrigerator here so all your specialty foods are welcome. There are cameras all over outside and this place is locked up like Fort Knox, also for the safety of your pet!!! I am here 24/7 as required by law. Dogs go out approximately every 2 hours. Feedings are mostly twice a day. Some are 3. Any arrangements can be made for feeding. Feedings are mostly in separate cages and they all come out again after about 10 minutes. There is also a doggy treadmill. Double fenced double gated inside and out for the safety of your pet. Atomatic 911 service for emergency and 8 active cameras on the property with locked gate.

“This was my best boarding experience ever. I have had dogs my entire life and have used more pet sitters and boarding facilities than I can count. I am so happy I found John to care for my puppy, Shadow (a five month old lab/shepherd mix). After a couple of bad boarding experiences, I was a bit worried about leaving Shadow again but was so impressed with John's care that I cannot recommend him highly enough. John was very professional and kept in touch throughout Shadow's stay at his home by sending adorable pictures and daily updates. He was very accommodating to Shadow's needs and clearly took very good care of her. When I came to pick her up, she seemed almost sad to leave John and his partner because she had enjoyed her stay so much. She even learned a couple of new skills during my trip! John will henceforth be my absolute first choice when I need someone to care for my little darling.”

“Mary and Norm were the absolute best dog sitters! We left our 12 year old Shihtzu with them and he was treated so well. We got daily updates and knew he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Tommy and Julie were great. They watched my two dogs for six days and provided me with updates and videos multiple times per day. It was clear my boys were safe, happy, and loved while there. Will definitely be working with Tommy and Julie in the future when I have to leave town!”

Kristin Z.

“Elisa was absolutely wonderful with our little Zeke. He had a great time and became great friends with Fiona. Will definitely reach out to Elisa for future stays. She is so nice and took such great care - truly an animal lover! Thanks so much!!”

“The absolute best! Jordan cared for our Bowie and especially our Senior Lola with the utmost care and attention. He was amazing with both dogs and we will use him again without question.”

“Kathy took amazing care of Clark for 10 nights while I was on a cruise. This was the first time he had ever stayed with a sitter through Rover and not with a family member so I was very nervous. Kathy sent pictures and updates which helped to calm my nerves. When I picked Clark up he seemed sad to leave! He has such a great time with Kathy, her family and her dog Bella. I would 100% leave Clark in Kathy’s care again. Thank you, Kathy!”
