Dog Boarding in Makanda, IL

“Rick is always phenomenal. He has watched my senior pup for me twice already and he has taken great care of her. I have no doubts leaving her with him.”

“Very communicative. Even when there were problems with service, she went the extra mile to make sure I got pictures and videos of my puppy. He was very happy with her and super comfortable. She brought him on walks and gave him tons of love. I would definitely trust her again to watch my baby. Thank you so much Cierra!”

“Stephanie is amazing!! After meeting her and seeing her lovely home and great yard, along with her flexible schedule, I was willing to drive about an hour from my home because I knew my dogs would receive excellent care. Stephanie was totally worth it!! She provided daily updates and photos, and I could see my dogs were happy. Then something happened that makes Stephanie the best dog sitter I've ever had: I was stuck in Houston during hurricane Harvey, and could not get a flight back home for 5 days. I reached out to Stephanie to see if I needed to arrange for someone to pick up my dogs from her, but she agreed to extend the stay until I could return!!! This was also Labor Day weekend, so I was amazed by how accommodating and understanding she was. I picked up my dogs as soon as I got back, and they had clearly loved their time with Stephanie. I can't thank her enough!”

“Very good caretaker of your pet; and is highly negotiable as he is very understanding of your sincere needs. Dog was very clean and smelling good when I picked him up. Thank You Dyshyn, and I look forward to working with you again.”

About: I have years of experience dog and cat sitting! I love animals and I have two labrador retriever puppies of my own! I also have a kitten! I am currently in college but with a minimal class load so I have a ton of time to take care of your pets! My dogs love to go to the dog park every day and play frisbee so that is also part of our routine! I have two friendly lab puppies to keep your dog company! I have a crate if your dog needs to sleep there at night! Otherwise our puppies normally sleep in bed or on the couch!

“We left our 2 doodles with Stephen for 4 nights while we traveled out of town.. He was great with them and sent photos and videos.. He also took them for walks, which they love. Will definitely use him again in the future.”

“Carina is awesome. I received daily updates during Cap's stay and he clearly had a good time and was very well taken care of. Can't recommend her enough, and I'll be asking her first if Cap needs a sitter again. They also clipped Cap's nails, which isn't easy to do!”

About: Growing up on a farm, I have always had a passion for taking care of various kinds of animals, but particularly cats and dogs. I have 10+ years of experience dog and cat sitting for others and I thoroughly enjoy meeting new furry friends! I just graduated law school and I’m currently home full-time while studying to take the bar exam. I have lots of time to cuddle and play with your pet(s) throughout the day! My apartment complex has a small dog park and lots of paths for walking dogs. I walk my dog 2 miles each day because we love to be outside (rain or shine)! Pets can be easily crated if needed but is certainly not a requirement.

“Rachael is a pet lover through and through. She loves animals of all shapes and sizes. She has been a pet owner and a foster for local shelters for years. She will treat your pet with the best care.”

“Emma was fantastic. I needed someone last minute and she was able to accomodate me and my precious fur-baby. I really appreciate her care for my little one. I would highly recommend her services. Mary”

“So amazing! he came back such a happy boy and we got lots of pictures of all the fun things he got to do. amazing people that made sure our boy was taken care of.”

“Absolutely great experience, wonderful people who truly care about your pet. Josie warmed right up to them, even though she can be nervous and emotional at times. Will absolutely rebook when I need someone to help take care of my doggy. Thank you for the peace of mind while I was out of town!”

“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the superior personalized care that my dogs receive from MacKenzie L. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals shines through in every interaction. MacKenzie went above and beyond to tailor her services to the unique needs of my furry friends. She adapted her walking techniques to the range of abilities of my three dogs. MacKenzie exercised my blue heeler by throwing a ball which allowed her to walk at a slower pace for my two older dogs. This method proved to be the workout my blue heeler needed while still making the other dogs feel loved. Trusting someone with the care of your pet is a big decision, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found someone who provides such exceptional and personalized care. I wholeheartedly recommend MacKenzie's services to any pet owner seeking a dedicated and loving caregiver.”

She doesn’t just see dog grooming as a job, but a way to interact and give dogs the best experience possible while grooming. She would be an awesome choice for any animal services you need!”

About: I have 9 + years experience in multiple animal related fields. I not only offer sitter service, but I am also a certified dog groomer and trainer, with extensive knowledge in animal care from my career as an animal control officer I work a full time job Monday-Friday from 8-5 and spend the rest of my time at home where I can relax with my own pets and family.

“Stacy's an awesome and loving pet caregiver – totally recommend her. Whether it's feeding, playing, or just giving them some love, Stacy nails it every time and keeps me in the loop with photos! She has a long track record of taking care of dogs and if you need someone who genuinely loves pets, she's the one. Stacy also has this cool RUFF HOUSE dedicated strictly to dogs filled with toys, and a gated play area, and since she works from home - she is always able to tend to their needs during work hours. My dog was on dog vacation and came back happy!”

“Archie loved Emily. Great house with fenced area. What Great People they are!!!”
