Dog Boarding in Ingleside Shore, IL

“Norma was awesome. She sent me pictures and video. You can tell she really loves the animals. My dog was very happy and had fun playing with her dogs.”

Erin R.

“Stella and her husband Jim are fantastic! They watched our 2 VERY active Golden Retrievers for 9 days. She sent me daily pictures of them playing. They always seemed to be having a blast. I know my boys can be a handful but they never seemed bothered by their energy. Stella replied too all my txts and emails right away. You can tell they love dogs! I would give them 6 stars if I could. It was nice to go away and know that Tanner and Charlie were in good hands. I would take them back there in a heartbeat.”

“Ahna loves her vacations with John & Louis! She doesn't even want to get back in our car! The long walks are great for her. She needs a day of napping to recover from them and so much attention. Our dog is in great hands when we are away.”

Debbie M.

“Kim was excellent with our high energy puppy. She provided a ton of pictures and gave her a lot of playtime outside! I would highly recommend Kim and plan on using her again in the future!”

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 great with our puppy, Boots! Our puppy is a 15 lb. Chihuahua mix. Naturally, I had some apprehension about her hanging out with Angela’s bigger and older dogs but it worked out perfectly and Boots had a fun weekend with her new friends. Angela was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos. I’d recommend Angela for all your pet boarding needs!”

“First of all, 5 stars is not enough!! I have to say Diana is a true Gem. I normally do not board my 2 labs, but I was in desperate need of someone to take care of my 2 girls for the weekend. We met at a dog park so my dogs could meet her 2 dogs (very friendly sweet babies). Right away I could feel her compassion and love for animals. The visit was fantastic. I felt relieved and knew Diana would be the perfect dog mamma for the weekend. She kept me updated with videos and photos the entire weekend. I will definitely without a doubt leave my fur babies with her again, and I HIGHLY recommend her for your sitting needs. Thank you so much Diana. I was able to enjoy my weekend and not worry about my babies! Marlo K. - Spring Grove”

“Zeni loves being with Tommy and Julie. They’re very sweet and dedicated to my pup and are always available for my short notice visits. They bathed him before I picked him up after being with them for almost a week! Big shout out to them!!!”

“Kelli did a great job caring for my dog on a very long boarding of 18 days. Sent lots of pictires and kept me updated and was always available to chat. I would definitely use Kellie's services again in the future.”

Mike K.

“Melody was so awesome! Very responsive and sent tons of pictures and videos of our pup while we were gone. We did a meet up with her prior to our trip so she could meet our dog and get acquainted/ask questions etc. During his stay, they went on lots of walks and had so much play time. Melody goes out of her way to make your pup her number one priority. She had extra toys and even got him treats! She even gave some advice for some of his skin/stomach issues she noticed. Will definitely be bringing our pup back to her!”

Alicia D.

“Our pups had a blast running around Victoria's large spacious yard with her friendly pup. She has the perfect set up for watching dogs. With her calm demeanor, I was quickly at ease leaving my dogs with her. She provided the perfect amount of updates and videos while we were away. We will definitely be rebooking.”

Kimberly F.

“My dog needed special care for a medical condition. Not only did Kathleen make sure he got his medications but she gave him lots of love, sent me daily pictures and updates, and introduced him to doggie friends that he loved. I would definitely have Kathleen care for my pet again.”

Barbara S.

“Sydney was the best person we could’ve asked for for our cat! Communication was fantastic, including picture updates. Would recommend her!”

“Elizabeth took great care of Jaeger. She sent us pictures and messages letting us know how he was doing. Jaeger enjoyed exploring and playing fetch in her large back yard. He came home happy and tired. She handled his complicated feeding schedule and medication requirements with no problems. I would highly recommend her and will certainly book her again.”
