Dog Boarding In Humboldt Park

About: I started pet sitting as a teenager for neighbors and family friends. Since then, I have watched all types of dogs, including senior dogs. I became a dog owner for the first time in my mid-twenties. He was an elderly beagle mix with health issues. After he passed, I grieved until I was ready to own a dog again. Then I had ten wonderful years with Shadow, a husky mix who was a stray that made his way to a rescue. He bravely fought lymphoma for 1.5 years before succumbing to the disease. Through that time, I provided medication, took him for chemotherapy, and spoiled him until he decided it was time to cross the rainbow bridge. Shadow's absence still leaves a void in my heart that is filled by caring for other people's dogs. I love all types of dogs, and have experience with small to large, young and old, as well as dogs living with various health issues. Giving dog owners the security and piece of mind knowing their furry family members are safe and sound while they are away is a responsibility that I take very seriously. My husband and I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood and our backyard is fully fenced. As a dog lover himself, anyone who books with me gets their pup double the love. My full time job is permanently remote, so I am able to be at home with your dog at all times. No matter their schedule, I can meet it because I can be here to fulfill their needs. I have a fenced in yard for safety, and a dog-friendly neighborhood where your dog will feel right at home. I know every dog has different needs, so I can follow the habits you have created with them to maintain consistency. Whether that is crate training or sleeping on the couch, I will follow your instructions. I know that dogs are family, and treat them as such.

“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”

“So thankful for Kyla & Barbara (her mom) for taking care of Drogo! Drogo’s very happy. They have updates with photos & videos everyday. They are very sweet & accommodating. We even did a video call because our daughter missed Drogo so much! We’ll definitely book them again when we visit the area. ❤️?”

“Michelle and Otavio are very warm and welcoming care providers. They instantly put my precious pup and me at ease by inviting us into their home and demonstrating their natural pet charming talents. They also regularly shared photos and sent playful vacation stories written from my dog’s perspective. I would certainly request their service again.”

“Darla and Greg are great. My dog Hiro loved staying at their home. They kept me updated every day with photos and notes on how Hiro was doing. I would recommend them to anyone and will definitely be booking another stay with them.”

“Nathan is absolutely amazing with our dog, Luna. This is the third time he has watched Luna and this won’t be the last! He sends frequent updates, photos, and messages, which really helps put our minds at ease whenever we have to travel. It’s never easy leaving your dog behind, but knowing she’s in such safe, caring hands makes the whole experience so much less stressful. Luna clearly enjoys her time with him, and we always come back to a happy pup. He also gives us tips to train Luna which I really appreciate as a first-time dog owner. We highly recommend Nathan to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring dog sitter!”

“I booked with Katie for two over night stays and she was FANTASTIC!!!! Elizabeth went on walks, watched tv, had snacks and was treated very good. I was regularly updated with photos and messages which made me feel at peace. Katie is definitely a keeper!! Thanks Katie from myself and Elizabeth, you’re awesome!”

“Ruben did a really wonderful job taking care of our pup. He was very communicative, kind, and had some other dogs around to keep our guy company. I feel that our dog was very well cared for and enjoyed his time with Ruben and the crew. At the end of the stay we unexpectedly needed to have our dog dropped off at a nearby relatives house and Ruben handled it no problem. Would definitely book again!”

Dominic C.

“Madeline was a super amazing host to Barfi. She was able to coordinate pick up and drop offs with minimal support required. I constantly received updates with photos and videos of Barfi's stay with Madeline. I had very specific instructions for Barfi especially for his medication, all of them were followed through. Would definitely consider Madeline for Barfi going forward.”

“Allison has watched Poppy several times now and always does a great job! She gives many updates and Poppy always comes home so tired! You could always tell she is well taken care of and Allison is super responsive. We are so glad to have found her and will continue to book with her!”
