Dog Boarding in Ingleside, IL

“I needed someone to watch my dog Tyson last minute because I was going out of town for the weekend and Stella was awesome! If you need a petsitter in Rockford I would highly recommend her and I definitely plan on calling her for petsitting in the future. There were other dogs to play with, Stella was really helpful working with my schedule and Tyson was happy and energetic when I picked him up! Overall great experience :)”

“Debbie is amazing. She took very good care of Cooper and we would have him stay with her in a heartbeat again! She kept us updated each day on how he was doing and sent lots of cute pictures too. We appreciate all the care Debbie and her family showed Cooper.”

“Fantastic dog sitter! I picked up my poodle after a week and I can tell he had a great time and was very happy. Alejandra sent me photos every day and her entire family was enthusiastic to host my dog for the week and was involved. Great sitter!”

“John and Louis are wonderful dog sitters! We never worry about our dogs when they're in their care. They send frequent updates and pictures, administer all meds, and give our dogs lots of attention. One of our dogs has become a very reluctant eater in her old age but John and Louis are both patient and creative about getting her to eat. I am so grateful to have them as our dog sitters!”

“Kim is great. She did an amazing job making Jax feel at home, as well as giving me the peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. She sent plenty of updates, pictures, and videos throughout his stay. I could tell he was having fun. She even shared some useful training tips that I plan to use. Jax is definitely looking forward to seeing her again.”

“Angela (and her husband Dave) took such good care of Zoe! This was our first time leaving Zoe with someone else and they really made it easy for us. She sent us pictures often and sent me updates on Zoe. She really made me feel at ease! We’ve already booked another stay over the holidays.”

“Kelli is a devoted dog lover who took excellent care of my 11 year old frenchy for a couple of nights. Some medication was required and Stevie sleeps in bed with me. Her medication was no issue for Kelli and she allowed Stevie to sleep with her which was so appreciated. Kelli works from home which is a real benefit when caring for Stevie. We greatly appreciate Kelli and her efforts on behalf of Stevie. We are already booked for our next trip with Kelli 🐾🐾”

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.

“Very good and enjoyable experience”

“Melody was an absolute blessing and we could not have happier! She took us as a last minute booking, as our normal sitter was unable to take our dog. Sadie has never stayed with someone she didn’t know before and Melody made her and us feel very comfortable. She kept us updated with pictures and texts. We could not have asked for anything more! Thank you again Melody for taking care of our anxious girl and treating her like your own!”

“Jacob is amazing and Murphy is the cutest company our dog could get. We boarded our doggo S’mores at Jacob’s for 4 days and he had a blast. He was happier than ever and we were enjoying all the videos Jacob sent us while we were on our trip. Thank you Jacob for taking such good care of S’mores.”

Vindhya D.

“John and his wife Kathy go over and above to create a comfortable environment for our dogs. They boarded them for two weeks and we got regular reports. We never had to worry about our two dogs, other than to worry if they’d ever want to leave John and Kathy’s! I cannot recommend them highly enough!”

Margaret N.

“So great. Moose had a great time. They sent pictures and were very flexible when a family issue came up. Will definitely use them again when we need them.”
