Pet Boarding Lake Forest

“Yamile is super nice and you can tell she likes pets. She took good care of my dog and cat. I also appreciated that her dog was very chill, even around my cat (they barely acknowledged each other!). Would book with her again.”

“Zhuangzhuang and Tony were great, My dog felt very at home ilwith them. They were also very accommodating when I had to change plans and come back a day late.”

“Mary and Norman watched our fur baby while on a week’s vacation and they exceeded our expectations! Not only were they very accommodating with our schedule, they also sent daily updates and made our dog feel right at home - they treated her like their own! Mary and Norman will be the first we call whenever we need a pet sitter.”

“Kyle and his family were great with our dogs!! We were nervous to leave them while we were away because of previous bad kennel experience, but Kyle was great. Another worry that we had was that one of our dogs takes medication daily, but he gave it to her with no problems! He has a great fenced backyard for the pups to run around, he took them for walks, played with them, sent lots of pics and videos, and showed them lots of love. Our dogs really enjoyed their stay. If you’re in the area we would 100% recommend Kyle!”

“Ewa was an amazing sitter for my Basenji, he enjoyed his time very much while staying with her. I really liked the setup that enabled my dog to go in and out on his own when he needed to and she showered him with love and attention the entire stay. I will be contacting Ewa in the future.”

“We hired Judith to watch my 12 year old dog in her home. My dog seemed to really enjoy her stay and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. Judith provided twice a day updates which I really enjoyed! She verified with me before I left that twice a day updates would be appropriate which I appreciated too. I would definitely recommend Judith! You can really tell she genuinely cares about dogs. :)”

“We were really happy with our decision to have Monica care for our two dogs during a weekend away. She was super responsive, flexible, and accommodating and it was obvious she loves animals and took very good care of them. Her house is very clean with lots of places for the dogs to relax, and her fenced backyard was perfect for playtime. Highly recommend!”

About: My whole life I've grown up with dogs and other animals. I truly care about pets and their well being. I'm pursuing a degree in animal behavior and welfare. I also have watched family pets growing up. I'm currently without a job so I'm available to watch your animal(s) full-time, part-time, or over night if need be. I do live an apartment, but I have plenty of walking space outside, cat toys and trees for anyone with cats. I'm willing to work on a schedule if you need strict walking times or for feeding. I'm willing to train for free using reward-based training techniques and I'm willing to bathe for free if you'd like.

“Michael is a fabulous sitter!! Loved receiving daily updates, and pictures. My dog seemed to have a great time during her stay. She loved playing with all the other dogs and cuddling on the couch.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and rabbits for the past 15 years of my life. I absolutely adore them and looking for more opportunities to take care of them! I am available most of the time as I am on maternity leave and would have plenty of time to ensure your pet gets the care and exercise it needs. I will take your dog on long walks and ensure that they are comfortable at my home. My home is very safe and uncluttered. You pet would have plenty of space to roam around and play with toys. My neighbourhood is also very safe, quiet, and peaceful.

““Our dog’s spring break vacation” The overall care & true love she shows to her furry friends is like no other. Our senior dog got such a boost of energy & felt like a young pup frolicking in the forest preserve & swimming multiple times within the week in Lake Michigan. She has the sweetest dogs and cats & looking at pictures of them all snuggled up in her bed at night made us so happy. She has the coolest backyard for the pets too. We’ll book with no one else.”

Marguerite M.

“We’ve used this sitter multiple times, and they’ve always been reliable and caring. This time, Emma had a skin infection, so I was a bit concerned,but they handled everything really well. They made sure to apply the spray to the affected area as instructed and kept a close eye on her throughout. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing she was being properly cared for. Emma came back happy and well taken care of. I truly appreciate their attention to detail and would definitely continue to trust them with Emma.”

Jackson J.

“Petra was super lovely!! Mishka cried in the car when we were leaving her home, which tells me immediately that he loved being there. She took super good care of him, not even minding he is a very spoiled puppy, sent us pictures of him being adorable, and played with him and let him borrow all her dog toys.”

Ximena E.

“We had an amazing experience with Leigh & Richard watching our dog Ivy for over a week! Ivy is a 7-yr old rescue and can be very skittish at times and hesitant with new people and locations. Leigh took the time to watch her a few times before our trip to get comfortable with her and Ivy did great! We were sent pictures daily of Ivy while on our trip, which made it so much better as we could be stress-free over our dog. Their fenced in yard also worked out perfectly to give Ivy plenty of time outside. Thanks again! We hope to continue this relationship!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always felt very natural to me. My last dog was with me for 14 years, and I got to experience every stage of her life with her. I went from playing with her as a little kid to taking her on walks and eventually helping care for her as she got older. Having her alongside me for so many years made her feel like a constant part of my life, and I really grew up with her in a way that I’ll always be grateful for. My current dog has been with me for four years and was rescued from a breeding farm. When we first brought her home, she was extremely nervous and wouldn’t even leave our mudroom. It took a lot of patience and consistency for her to become comfortable, but now she sleeps in my bed and follows me everywhere. That experience taught me that every dog has a different personality and comfort level, and sometimes they just need someone willing to give them the time to adjust. Maple (Her name) has taught me so much about her, myself, and how to care for different dogs. Given that she lives at home with my mother while I’m at school, I miss her like I’d miss a sibling or parent and we both always get unbelievably excited to see eachother when I am home for breaks. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and building a relationship with them. Whether they’re energetic, shy, older, or just love attention, I like figuring out what makes each dog comfortable and happy. I think caring for pets gives me just as much joy as I give them, which is why I take it seriously and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I am a current junior at the College of Lake Forest, studying psychology and I’m as well a member of the Men’s Lacrosse team. Given that, my schedule can get fairly busy during the afternoon and early evening most days however I am very good at managing my class schedule and athletics schedule to best make time for what I need, which will be the pet. No matter what home I’m in I will provide the animal with better than proper care. Growing up with pets I’ve gained a true care for every single one of them and I can guarantee that I will provide the best environment, safety, care, and love to any pet whether it’s in my own apartment or the clients home.

“Marta was very flexible with booking my five year old at the last minute. My dog loves staying there and I never need to worry about him. I would highly recommend her for taking care of an active dog like mine.”

Daniel K.

“Thea was the best. She’s very gentle and loving. You can tell she really loves pets and takes good care of them. I really appreciate her sending me updates (pictures and videos) every now and then. She was also sweet to send us guides and tips on how to train and handle our puppy. Thanks thea!:)”
