Dog Boarding in Holiday Hills, IL

“The best experience with Katie!! Our King Charles, Bentley, got the best of care on our recent trip to Kansas City. She was a caring professional from our first meeting. She won over Bentley in just a few minutes. She kept us updated daily with pictures and information. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend!!”

“Jill and her family welcomed Bailey into their home and treated him as their own. They were attentive to his needs as a senior dog, including giving oral medicine. I could tell he was well brushed and cared for when I picked him up. Her large yard was perfect for him. Jill had clearly gotten attached to him. She was always very responsive whenever I texted. I would book with Jill again.”

About: I’ve enjoyed watching Dogs for family and friends over the years. I work from home and would be available for any of the dogs needs throughout the day. We do have one dog of our own, a corgi, named Poppy. She is a very easy going dog that is very good at matching others dog’s energy. I’m very available on weekdays and most weekends. I’m also pretty flexible with last minute changes and keeping you updated with pictures and status updates. We do not have a fenced yard, but we do have a cable line the extends the yard. I can also set up a small fence for smaller dogs, if needed. We have a beautiful Corgi that has gotten along with every dog she’s ever met.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—starting on a small pleasure farm where I helped raise everything from dogs and cats to goats and ducks. As I got older, I worked with licensed rehabbers to help raise and release wildlife, giving me a deep understanding of animal behavior and care. Today, I’m a stay-at-home dad who homeschools our two children, and together we care for our two dogs and any pup who joins our home. We’re home all day, giving your pet constant attention, playtime, and supervision. Whether your dog loves backyard games, cozy nap spots, or peaceful walks, we tailor their care to make them feel safe and loved. We’re also experienced with: • Puppy routines and potty training • Gentle senior dog care • Medication administration (oral/topical) • Helping nervous or shy dogs settle in We treat every dog like family—with kindness, patience, and lots of tail-wagging fun! Pet care is a natural part of our everyday life! As a stay-at-home dad who homeschools, I’m home throughout the day and able to provide constant care and attention. We start the day with outdoor playtime and a walk, followed by plenty of interaction, rest, and supervised backyard fun. Since our schedule is flexible and we don’t leave the house for work or school, your dog will never be left alone for long periods. Whether it’s weekday or weekend, we’re here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family—every single day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At our home, pets are treated like family and are always supervised. We have a fully fenced-in backyard in a quiet neighborhood where dogs can run, play, and relax safely. Our home is dog-friendly, with plenty of space to rest, play, and be part of our daily routine. We keep a calm, structured environment—ideal for dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors. I follow any care instructions you provide closely, including feeding, medication, crate routines, and walk preferences. We only accept a small number of dogs at a time to ensure each one gets the love, attention, and care they deserve. You can trust that your pet will be in kind, capable hands with someone who truly understands and respects animals.

“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!”

About: It all started when I was 5 and my sister and I convinced our animal loving parents to add to our family, we got a golden retriever puppy and a kitten in the same year. I have never lived a day without a pet in 35 years! I have open availability. I have 2 smaller dogs and a parrot. I live in a nice, quiet neighborhood perfect for walking furry friends. Ricky and Lucy (cavapoos) love a good slumber party :) I do not have a fenced in yard. My pups know the perimeters. I do take leashed potty breaks and walks with pup visitors. I am familiar with "runners" and an capable of making sure that doesn't happen!

About: ALWAYS AVAILABLE!!!! It may take me a day to get back to you, but if you want the best it is worth waiting for. Please, ONLY SERIOUS INQUIRES. 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.

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. I have always handled EVERY situation that has ever come about and believe me, you don't know what you don't know. So true. I want you to enjoy your vacation without a worry in the world. 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.
