Dog Boarding in Hawthorn Woods

“I am so grateful having Xiao taken care of my Plummy. Plummy stayed in a 5-star room and was in very good hands. Plummy got along well with Xiao's beautiful cat as well as her family. During Plummy's stay, I received dozens of pictures/vedios from Xiao, which really eased my "lovesick". I will definitely go back to Xiao when necessary.”

“Kelly was phenomenal. She sent me daily updates and took great care of our 2 dogs. We have a senior dog that needs a little extra care and everything was perfect. Our dogs were happy to see us, but I think they miss Kelly and her family!”

“Cannot express our thanks enough to both Liz and Kris for watching our little girl. They provided amazing updates, photos (many of which were hilariously edited and amazing), videos, and even a report card detailing her stay when we picked her up. So thankful to have found them and we will most certainly be booking again!”

“Amazing experience for Mr Darcy! He had the time of his life taking walks, finding squirrels and meeting new dog friends. Thank you Stacie and Jose!”

“I've known Sariah for almost 8 years and have always seen her be wonderful around dogs and other animals. She's had her own dogs and even fostered dogs to adoption. She's great with our dog, Louie, always treating him like her own. She's responsible and loving, and you can trust that your pup will return happy and relaxed. I whole heartedly would recommend Sariah as your go-to dog sitter!”

“Christine was great and Ginger was a happy dog when I picked her up. Christine was a patient and kind person to work with. Highly recommended.”

“Pauline & Lina are awesome people! Buffy is super cute and friendly as well. Kept me informed and sent photos while I was away. She also has the cutest and sweetest dog! Very positive experience and would recommend her for any boarding. Thanks so much!”

“This was our first time leaving our Ace with a sitter, Ryan was great with him! Thank you Ryan and we look forward to booking with you again soon!”

“Always amazing! It’s comforting to know that someone gives your dog the same love and attention you do!! Thank you Marta!! Winston already misses his bff, Moose!”

“Abbey is great with communication and updates.”

“Morgan was an awesome dog sitter! Lucy came home such a happy girl. Morgan’s dogs got along so well with Lucy. She sent me pic and video updates of Lucy which was awesome! I felt so comfortable having my dog stay with her. Would definitely recommend her for dog care.”

“Kate was a wonderful sitter for Kenzie. She took Kenzie on a couple long walks so Kenzie could sniff all the scents of a new neighborhood. As expected, Kenzie had to acclimate to her overnighter by curling up in her crate for a bit. When she was ready, she gladly rejoined the humans, just looking to chill out and get lots of pets. I highly recommend Kate!”

“Kat did an amazing job watching my dog. She was easy to communicate with and provided plenty of updates and pictures throughout the stay to give me the assurance my dog was being well taken care of. It was a great first experience and I look forward to many more!”

About: I've been around dogs since age 8 and I've owned my own dogs for 12 years. I have 2 medium labradoodles that are super friendly and would love to host other dogs at our home. I have experience with puppy training and senior dog care. Your dog will be welcomed into our family during their stay and they will have run of the house (unless you prefer otherwise). We are crate-free unless your dog needs to be crated for any reason that you specify. Your dog will feel right at home with us while you are away. I know first-hand what it's like to worry about my dogs while I'm away from them and I'm happy to send you updates and pictures of your pet while you're gone. I am a stay-at-home parent who works part-time from home. I will be here with your pet the entire time with only short errands away from the home. We have an invisible fence in our yard for our two dogs. I will happily take guest dogs out on a leash and walk them for extra exercise. They will have run of the house (unless you prefer otherwise) and will be welcomed into our family during their stay. Your pet will also have the companionship of our two dogs that have passed temperament tests at multiple dog daycares in the area. We have 2 children: ages 4 and 8. Your dog must be comfortable with young children.

“Elisa seems to be a devoted person who takes care of dogs with love. Thank you so much for taking care of the dog carefully so that he doesn't feel any separation anxiety for 2 nights and 3 days away from our family. Thanks again!!”

“Michelle watched our Prudence again, on short notice! She took such good care of her and kept us updated the whole time. The second we dropped her off, Prudence was so excited to see Michelle and seemed to have had a great time upon pickup!”

“Our pup had another fantastic stay with Michele. He gets so excited to see Michele that I know he loves spending time at her house and all of the fun activities he gets to do while there.”

“Anita watched our redbone coonhound for about a week, our first time using Rover. Everything went smoothly, communication was great, and our pup was calm and happy when we picked her up. Would definitely use her again!”

“Anna did such an amazing job with our dog, Boone! Boone has a lot of separation anxiety, and he seemed to be right at home with Anna. She kept us in the loop with everything and sent lots of pictures of him throughout the days. He loved her so much! 1000% recommend :)”

“Stacie was easy to communicate with, and she took great care of our pup. She shared photos while we were away. She has the perfect set up to host dogs with a fully fenced backyard. She is friendly and gentle with the dogs in her care.”
