Pet Boarding in La Grange

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.

“My dog Pippin's stay with Lorraine was excellent! She was great at communicating and sent lots of pictures which were fun to see. Pippin was very comfortable in her home and enjoyed the walks and lots of ball retrieving :) I highly recommend Lorraine!”

“Omg so this was the first time I left my dog Mamba with someone else. I was extremely nervous because she has never been around anyone else but me. I wanted my dog which is basically my child be with someone who would watch her like I would if I was gone . Susseth was amazing and reassuring that my dog would be watched out for. She allowed time to ask enough questions and gave us updates as well. I enjoyed receiving videos and pictures since they called my nerves as well. I will definitely be rebooking her for my upcoming 12 day trip. My worries are put at ease. Thank you again Susseth !!!”

“Great communication and did amazing with our anxious doggie. It was hard to predict our dog’s anxiety level as she had never been away from us for so long, but they really made it work. Grateful for their service”

“She was amazing and so sweet with our two dogs. It was their first time being away from home and we were super nervous, but she sent us photos, videos, and updates everyday while we were gone. Will definitely be using her again.”

“My Chorkie doesn’t like anyone even herself most days, but she gets excited when we start driving in the direction of Judith’s house. She’s an absolute dog whisperer. She’s the most attentive to my dogs needs and she’s extremely flexible. 10 stars hands-down”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends & family for years. This includes different shapes and sizes. I am a dog mom myself and overall pet lover. I have a flexible full time nursing job that allows me to work 3 times a week. I am looking to fill my free time with more pet care. I am reliable, detailed-oriented, calm and confident in my abilities to provide the best quality of care for your fur baby. I have a walking schedule with my dog at home. We currently do not have a fence but the dogs are always leashed even if just soaking up sun in the backyard. My dog does not get crated but I do have a medium sized crate and can be used if needed. We enjoy taking 3 walks a day and this includes being leashed at all times. My dog is friendly with neighbor dogs and we stop by when we see them if time allows. If my dog runs into an unfriendly dog, we remove ourselves from the situation immediately.

“This is the second time we have taken our dog to Matt and Michelle and family. They treat him as one of their own and our dog seems to fit right in. They send pictures and videos to keep you updated. We will continue to take our dog there.”
