Pet Boarding Hawthorn Woods

“We were very happy to find Joanne and her family to care for our dog Tipper. They were very friendly and very complimentary of Tipper when we had our meet and greet. Tipper is a high energy pup and got along well with their dog Honey. Joanne sent daily updates with pictures which we appreciated. When we picked Tipper up she had all her things packed up and ready to go. We appreciated that because we were tired from our trip. We were also pleased that Tipper was tired too. This tells us she was given lots of attention and activity during her stay at Joanne’s. Tipper spent the afternoon and evening napping as we did too. We have already mentioned to Joanne that we’d like to use her again this summer. We highly recommend her as a great dog sitter!”

About: Hi! I’m Luciana 🐾 I’ve volunteered with Heartland Animal Shelter for 2+ years and have experience fostering kittens, adult cats, hospice cats, and working with dogs of different sizes and personalities. As a pet parent to my cat Milo, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone patient, loving, and attentive. I provide: ✅ frequent photo updates ✅ playtime and enrichment ✅ medication experience ✅ calm care for shy or anxious pets ✅ reliable routines and potty breaks I work mostly from home, so your pet will receive lots of supervision and attention. I know every pet is different, and I always take time to understand their personality, routines, and comfort needs so they feel safe while you’re away ❤️ Not ready to book? Check us out on Sniffspot! Use code ROVER-LUCIANAG45482 on sniffspot for $5 off your first visit at our spot! I work mostly from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I do occasionally leave for short errands, workouts, or appointments (typically 1–3 hours), but I prioritize maintaining your pet’s routine and comfort. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and boundaries so they feel secure and cared for. I have experience with cats of all ages, including kittens, seniors, hospice kitties, and cats needing medication. For dogs, I’ve worked with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments through Heartland Animal Shelter. I have a fenced yard for pets that enjoy brief supervised outdoor time (always safely monitored). Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I adapt to what makes them happiest.

“Angela was very welcoming and caring for our Gizmo! From the moment we arrived her and her husband greeted us with open arms. We were going camping and our schedule was a little off but they made time for us. We received pictures and updates daily and were really pleased. Would highly recommend to anyone using this service for the 1st time. Thanks again!”

“This was our second time using June and we couldn't be happier! She takes such wonderful care of our dog—she’s thorough, thoughtful, and always keeps us updated with great photos and messages. It’s clear she loves him and treats him like her own. ❤️ Our dog absolutely adores his hour-long walks with June (which she asked about ahead of time). He always comes home happy and tired! He also loves having Cookie to play with, which is such a fun bonus! We truly wouldn’t trust our pup with anyone else. June is amazing!!”

“Jayne and her family were very caring and took great care of my dog. Many pictures and videos were shared throughout the stay that made me feel very comfortable knowing my pup was doing well away from home. Thank you Jayne for the excellent service!”

Piki G.

“Rondarose did such a fantastic job watching Mars overnight. Lots of pictures were sent and he was pooped with all of the playtime with the other dogs. Highly recommend! Very pleasant and timely.”

“Again, Jiro had a wonderful week at Mary’s house. Not only Jiro had lots of fun with Mary’s own dogs, he also met some other furry visiting guests. Thank you Mary!”

“This was my first time using Rover and it was a 5 star experience. Liz was wonderful- brought our pup over a week or so prior to to introduce everyone. Our senior pup was happy and safe and I have Liz and Kristopher to thank for that!!!”

Christine T.

“Yamile is super nice and you can tell she likes pets. She took good care of my dog and cat. I also appreciated that her dog was very chill, even around my cat (they barely acknowledged each other!). Would book with her again.”

Laura D.

“Megan was very welcoming and accommodated some last-minute travel plans and made Copper feel right at home. He also got along well with her three pups. He enjoyed having a fenced in backyard where he could run around and play. Thank you!”

Steven A.

“Milo's stay at Stella's was great! I appreciated her honesty as he has some treat aggression. He was great with her dog Buddy and liked one of the other dogs staying but not the labradoodle. I'm grateful she was able to keep him a little later too, as our flight got back late. She sent pictures regularly and I loved seeing Milo in motion! Thank you for taking such great care of my little pup!”

April C.

“Julia helped us with a last minute weekend stay for our senior dog. She sent daily pictures with updates about how he was doing. She’s had a senior dog herself and was familiar with his medicine and was able to give the pills without a problem. Her home had no stairs, which was perfect for our dog since he has arthritis. She lives in a beautiful, quiet, safe neighborhood with minimal traffic and sidewalks perfect for walks.”

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life, so I have a big experience with animals. I currently have my own sweet cat. I will take care of your puppies with love! I work from home and set my own schedule. Weekdays, weekends and holidays are ok for me. If you need to go to vacation, I can stay with you dog or cat. I live in big house and have a huge backyard and beautiful quiet neighbourhood for walks, so the pups get at least 3 walks per day.

“Carolyn was wonderful with boarding our dog. She sent lots of updates and was very easy to get ahold of. We look forward to using her again in the future”

“Dickson is a very caring dog sitter. He did everything he could to make my bulldog feel comfortable and have fun. He gives video and picture updates of their adventures. I would absolutely have him watch my dog again!”

Christian L.

“Upasana was an amazing provider. She sent tons of pics. The dog genuinely look like it was in heaven the entire time she was there. Her boyfriend are extremely friendly, super responsive, and I will use them again in a heartbeat.”

“Thank you Elaina and Joseph for allowing me to book with a short notice and for being very flexible with dropoff and pickup times. Communication was excellent, constant updates and pictures, and great care. You'll definitely be my sitter of choice when I'm in the area. Thank you!!”

Xavier M.

“Antonina stepped in on short notice which i greatly appreciate! She is a nice and communicative person. She sent pictures of my baby. Lilu looked so happy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend her and I will be using her again.”

About: Finalmente decidí de tener mi licencia de IL para mi compañía en cuidar perros y gatos en memoria de nuestra princesa Luna que falleció hace poco. En su honor seguiré cuidando a mascotas con el mismo amor y atención que ella tuvo en sus 15 años de vida 💕 Mi atención y tiempo siempre estará presente. Los horarios se basarán a las necesidades de las mascotas en mi casa. Cualquier pregunta me pueden mandar mensaje 💕 Tengo una jaula propia y un porche privado para la seguridad de las mascotas. También hay parques cercas de mi cuando el clima lo permita para ir a caminar.

“Arpita was wonderful and took great care of our golden ret while we were traveling. We loved the constant updates and photos she shared with us. We will definitely be boarding our golden again with them !”
