Dog Boarding Joliet

“Beth was amazing!! Our dog seemed to love being with her. She sent a lot of pictures and videos, which was very comforting. She played with him a ton and treated him like one of her own. We will definitely book with Beth again.”

“Archer had a wonderful time at Karen’s. With his puppy behavior and not being around other dogs much I was a little worried. Karen was kind and reassuring. She kept me updated on his behavior through our trip. Archer settled in and made himself at home. She will be at the top of our list next time care is needed for Archer.”

“We love Tami and her family! We have ZERO worries when Eddie “vacays” at her home. He always has the best time, Tami communicates regularly and Eddie is well exercised and cared for the whole time. Flexible…kind…professional. A top notch choice as far as we are concerned.”

“Ana is the BEST. She accepted to take care of Jack on short notice. From the moment we arrived at her home I felt at ease and welcomed. Her attention to detail is amazing (I guess the engineer in her). I had mentioned how Jack loves walks so she made sure she walked him and gave him all the time he needed to sniff. I am very happy we found Ana and Jack looks forward to spending time with her soon.”

“Our dog Bella stayed for over a week with Julie and her family. We received several pictures and updates while we were away. Bella was well cared for and met many new friends. I would recommend Julie highly.”

Jane H.

“Grace did a great job watching my dog on a last minute call. She provided pictures of him and updates while I was away. Overall, would highly recommend!”

Collin P.

“Kelly was super responsive and so great with Herm. Her two small dogs were very sweet as well. I felt Herm was very well cared for and I would 100% recommend her!”

“Kristen and her family took very good care of Daisy this past weekend. I got regular updates. Great communication! I would definitely use her again!”

Tiffany P.

“Amy and her husband were great. It was a last minute booking, and they even watched Todd an extra day when my plans changed at the last minute and I wasn't going to be home on time.”

Randal B.

“She was wonderful. Our older dog can be anxious and standoff but seemed comfortable and happy in her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again if I had to. Communication was clear and responsive. I feel it was much better than using a kennel as my dogs were abused at one.”

“This was my first time working with Dawn and let me tell you she was awesome. She had my Stu over 4th of July weekend and even with the fireworks and her knowing that he does not like them she spent time in the basement so that he would not have to hear them. I can't say enough I will definitely be using her again.”

“Patti and her family were so wonderful! Penny got tons of walks and a lot of love and attention. She loved her vacation and I am so grateful to have found them!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years, and my 15-year-old Pomeranian is a very special part of our family. He has been with us for so long that I honestly can’t imagine our home without him. I’m also a mom of three, so we have a busy but loving family home where pets are very much part of everyday life. My kids love dogs, and we’re used to having a furry member of the family around. Having a senior dog has taught me to be patient and pay attention to the little things. I know that older dogs sometimes need a little more rest, more frequent potty breaks, and extra care and attention. We also travel to Egypt and Serbia every year, and my Pomeranian has flown overseas with me many times. I know how much work it can be to travel with a dog, and I also know how hard it is to leave them behind. That’s actually one of the reasons I decided to offer boarding. I’ve had to leave my own dog with people I trusted, and even then, I knew he acted differently because I wasn’t there. I remember wondering if he was okay, if he was comfortable, and if someone was giving him the same attention I would. So when your dog stays with me, I want you to feel comfortable too. I’ll get to know your dog’s routine, personality, feeding schedule and what makes them happy and comfortable. I’ll keep you updated with pictures so you don’t have to wonder how they’re doing. We have a fenced backyard, and I’ll take dogs for daily walks on the beautiful 2-mile path around Stellwagen Farm, which is only a few minutes from our home. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone. To me, they’re not just a booking or another dog staying at my house. They’re someone’s family — just like my Pomeranian is part of mine. I’m a stay-at-home mom and am available pretty much all the time, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving home with a fenced backyard,and a finished basement. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m available most of the time and can give your dog lots of attention throughout the day. I also have a senior Pomeranian, so I understand the importance of patience and making sure every dog feels comfortable.

“Chad and his wife were amazing. He was super communicative and sent lots of fun videos and pictures. He was truly excited to watch my dogs and it showed in the care he gave them. He was super flexible too, I accidentally booked the stay for one less day than I needed and he was more than happy to book the extra day with me. I’ll use Chad again for sure!”

“We are very pleased with Beatrice’s experience and caring for our 13 year old Cairn terrier Poodle mix that stayed with her for a week! That is the longest he has stayed away from us and he was in great shape when we picked him up. He was very well taken care of, and we received daily reports from her that were very reassuring. It was like a home away from home. We definitely plan to have him stay where whenever needed in the future! Thank you Beatrice!”

Anant D.

“Tyler's wife handles the communication, and she was so quick to respond, helpful, and accessible. She sent several pictures and videos during the stay, and our pup always looked so comfortable, happy, and relaxed. I would definitely trust them with our dog again.”

“From the moment we entrusted Blanche to Natalie's care, it was clear that we had found a truly special experience for Miss B while we are away. As a first-time Rover boarding client, I was pretty anxious. However, Natalie's extraordinary compassion and professionalism immediately put my mind at ease. What set Natalie apart was her remarkable communication. She provided frequent, detailed updates through messages, photos, and videos that allowed me to feel connected to Blanche throughout her stay. These thoughtful check-ins were more than just updates—they were windows into Blanche's experience, showcasing the genuine care and attention she was receiving. Natalie's expertise truly shone when Blanche began experiencing some hormonal changes during her boarding stay. Instead of being overwhelmed, Natalie handled the situation with remarkable sensitivity and understanding. Her ability to adapt and provide compassionate care during this time was nothing short of impressive. The environment Natalie provides is a dog's paradise. Her gated and private backyard is a dream space that any canine would be thrilled to explore, offering both fun and safety. It was evident that Blanche was not just being housed, but truly cherished and given the opportunity to enjoy her time away from home. The bond that formed between Natalie and Blanche was heartwarming. Her love and commitment to providing top-tier care cannot be overstated. We are already looking forward to Blanche's next stay with "Auntie Natalie" and cannot recommend her services more highly!!! For any pet owner seeking a boarding experience that combines professional care, loving attention, and constant communication, Natalie is absolutely the gold standard!”

“We felt awesome leaving our dogs here. They’re both rescues with different sets of needs, and she met them perfectly. Will be booking again 😊”

“I couldn't be happier with how things went leaving Dolce with Christina and her family. I have boarded my dog at kennels before and have always had some issue when I returned, not this time. I could tell she was happy and felt at home with Christina and her family. Would highly recommend Christina to anyone.”
