Pet Boarding in Island Lake

“Hannah was amazing with our 9‑month‑old puppy, Romeo! She took such good care of him, made sure he was fed on time, and went out of her way to keep him comfortable and happy while we were gone. She kept sending us the cutest pics and videos, which really helped us relax on our trip. Romeo clearly had the best time with her, and we’ll definitely be booking her again every time we need boarding for Romeo. Highly recommend her to any friends looking for a super sweet and reliable pet sitter!”

“Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.”

“Katerina was awesome! Our pups seem to have loved their stay! She was really fast with communications and it was nice to see some pictures of them enjoying themselves! Would use again!!”

“AMAZING! I got so many pictures and videos of Ryker while he was there. He looked like he was having a blast. Michele is very quick in responding and really cares about the dog/s she is watching. Will use her again 1000%”

“The dogs seemed to have a great time. We have one really old dog and one crazy young one and they were wonderful with both. Great communications and fun pictures! Thanks so much!”

Maureen L.

“They took such good care of our dog while we were out of town! Provided plenty of pictures and I could definitely tell he was very happy with him!”

Christine W.

“Judith and Bill were wonderful hosts, Augie felt right at home. Frequent photos were provided daily and will be sure to use them again in the future.”

Steve T.

“Thank you so much for taking Maple on such short notice. Five stars are simply not enough to describe the wonderful experience we had. It was comforting to see that Maple had a loving home away from home. She clearly enjoyed playing in the fenced yard with Sadie, and I truly appreciated the frequent communication and photos you shared. It was great to see her receiving so much love and attention. I will definitely be using your services again.”

Bill H.

“Barb, was absolutely wonderful. Very accommodating and communicative. Our dog is a picky eater and she even went as far as feeding him out of her hand to make sure he was eating enough. We couldn’t have asked for a better care taker for our fur baby. Will definitely book again!”

Noreen L.

“Melissa was very responsive, forth right and welcoming to my puppy. She put my mind at ease last night when I dropped her off for an overnight stay. She’s a sweet young lady and happy to recommend her. Lots a parks around and green even through in an apartment. Excellent place.”

Rosa E.

“Love Jean! She took such great care of Zara and kept me well updated. Her pups are so lovely as well. Appreciate her!”

Susan K.

“Yaqi is absolutely the best, I have an elderly Frenchie who is generally with me 24/7. I was very worried about leaving her with anybody but Yaqi very quickly put my mind at ease. She sends many pics and videos and my dog loves her. I won’t sorry next time I leave town because I know my dog will be with Yaqi.”

D K.

“We had another wonderful experience with Kelly. Charlie stayed with her and her pups for the weekend-and it just happened to be Charlies 3rd Birthday. She went above and beyond celebrating him with homemade dog-friendly cupcakes, which was so thoughtful and adorable. It gave us such peace of mind that he was not only looked after but truly cared for. Once again he came home happy, healthy and relaxed. We are very grateful for the extra effort Kelly put in to make his Birthday special!! Highly recommend her to anyone.”

Kimberly P.

“Jae and her family were amazing to my sweet puppy. I could not have asked for a better family to take care of my dog; we felt absolutely blessed to have such a perfect home when we were gone. The entire family treated her like she was part of the family, and I always felt comforted on my vacation to receive pictures of my dog enjoying her days with her interim family. I will absolutely only use Jae now. And our dogs have become great friends too, so what an incredible bonus!”

Danielle S.

“I needed a sitter last minute for my 4year old pup, for about 24hrs and Natalia was great! sent pictures throughout the stay and consistent updates. would recommend!”
