Dog Boarding Highland Park

“Lindsay and her family were wonderful and accommodating. They were also very flexible with my pickup time. They and their dog Murphy took great care of Sadie. I will certainly use Lindsay again to take care of Sadie next time I’m in the area. I highly recommend.”

About: I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have been caring for cats and dogs since I was a little girl. Growing up with pets taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding that every animal has their own unique personality and needs. Over the years, I've cared for and babysat pets for friends, family, and neighbors, earning their trust through dependable, compassionate care. My experience includes caring for cats and dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments—from playful puppies and energetic dogs to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention, as well as independent cats and affectionate lap cats alike. I understand that some pets warm up quickly while others need time to build trust, and I always let them set the pace. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, or simply providing companionship and comfort while you're away, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and well cared for, while giving you peace of mind knowing they're in reliable hands. I work full time out of the home, but can be available to board animals overnight on weekdays for (1) night with a pick up by 7:30 AM the following day and can board or house-visit over the weekend (Drop off Friday after 4PM thru Sundays-pick up by 5 pm Sunday). I can do house visits any week day after 4 PM. I have a fenced in backyard and a very walkable, safe neighborhood. My home is a pet's paradise with lots of comfy couches and plenty of space to run and play, and windows for clocking in for Neighborhood Watch :) I don't mind animals sleeping with me, if they want to! Otherwise, plenty of places for furry ones to nap and snooze whenever they choose.

“Denyal was so wonderful with my cat Soju! She was communicative & did well handling his special medical needs. I would definitely use her services again.”

“Adam did a great job caring for my dog. He provided them with a lot of exercise, followed special instructions exactly, and also sent frequent updates and photos.”

“Our mini golden doodle loved spending the weekend with her new friends! Highly recommend! Received pics and videos the whole time! We will definitely be booking again! Thank guys for everything! 🥰”

Kristie R.

“We feel very fortunate to have found Gary and his wife who took care of our dog, Grace, for a month! They shared their dog wisdom, kindness and home, providing a warm welcome for our sweet, (and shall we say, spirited?), 60 pound two-year-old puppy. Their own two dogs are the nicest dogs you'll ever meet, and the big fenced backyard provided ample space for everyone to play. Will we be back? You can bet your bottom dollar!”

Karen R.

“Breanna was absolutely lovely! Zinnia had gotten sick on the way to their home and Breanna was still okay with watching over her! She kept me updated the entire time I was gone, sent lots of pictures, and followed my instructions to a tee (including the extra ones I added last minute to help Zinnia feel better)! Zinnia got used to her very quick and had a wonderful time playing, lounging, and going for walks together!”

Kass E.

“Athena was very happy when I picked her up, It was like she was on vacation while I was gone. I will definitely be having Adrienne watch Athena again.”

“Deanna was super professsional and great! And was very understanding with a timing mistake I made. Vanilla had a great time and came back tired and clean.”

Cal P.

“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”

Joel T.

“Brad was amazing with Kelso! He made sure he kept us updated the whole time we were gone, worked on training, and even got Kelso to start going to the bathroom in the yard vs only on walks! He made our experience leaving our baby better than we could have imagined! Would recommend Brad to anyone who wants their dog loved and taken care of!! Thanks again Brad!”

Jake R.

“Greatly appreciated the attention Molly (westie terrier) received while with Erica. Would recommend Erica to others and will use her again when needed. She has a great set up and very accommodating around our travelling plans.”

“Mary and her family took amazing care of our dog while we traveled. She updated us with photos and he couldn’t wait to get out of the car when I dropped him off. We absolutely recommend her for watching your fur babies!”

Mauro G.

“Raeann is truly the best. She cares for Bronn as if he were her own. She always sends lots of updates and pictures (which as anxious dog mom I appreciate immensely). I could not recommend her enough and Bronn is looking forward his next visit!”

Chelsea J.

“This was my first time using Rover and Stacy and I am very happy with the results. Stacy allowed us to come and visit prior to our trip and we learned she is very knowledgeable about the care and training of dogs. Our trip was last weekend and I picked the dogs up and they were healthy and happy and I would definitely use her again!”

Diane O.

“Vivian was amazing with our two dogs! She even was able to get our Lily girl to come around and let them hold her, which is a rare feat!! I received pictures everyday and felt very reassured that our dogs, even our Lily who is not great with strangers, were well cared for and in wonderful hands! I definitely would not hesitate to book with her again!!”

“I always look for Maura and Matt first when looking for a sitter!! They are fantastic and absoultely love Pickles like their own dog. I never have to worry at all when he is there. I cannot recommend them enough!”
