Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced in yard where dogs canrrun and play freely. We air on the side of caution and never leave a dog unsupervised in the yard. We are here 24/7 to monitor and support your pup during his/her stay. We harness/leash every dog and crate at night to make sure each dog is safe.

A typical day
We walk on the acre and a half property as well as the bike path in front of the house. Depending on the dog we walk just in front of the house, on the bike path along the road, or on the bike path that goes into the Forest Preserve.

Pet care experience
We offer an interactive, warm and welcoming experience for your pet while you are away. One of us works remotely and is able to provide companionship for your dog throughout the day. We are both here in the summers :). Your dog will enjoy being outside, walking around the acre and a half, playing in the fenced in area, and going for walks on the bike path (in front of the house). We provide frequent check-ins to insure you feel connected to your pet while you are away and we can always be reached during the day. We have experience taking care of a variety of animals from horses, sheep, chickens, ducks, inside and outside birds, rabbits, rats, fish, cats, and dogs. We try to tailor your dog's stay to what they normally experience at home. We will talk with you to create a plan of stay depending on your dog's needs. We provide large 42 inch length crates, beds and food bowls. We do crate at night for the safety of your pet. We currently do not take puppies under 6 months, pets that are un-spayed or un-neutered, pets that are not potty trained or pets that are aggressive towards other animals. For the safety of our dog and any other dog we have staying with us, we ask that owners share documentation of an annual vaccination summary with us. Your pet's annual vaccinations should have Rabies: (1 or 3 year), DHPP: (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvo), Bordetella (Kennel cough), and Lepto. We do request that flea/tick medicine has been applied, as we are in a heavily wooded area. Drop off is as early as 6 am and pick up as late as 6 pm. We book 24 hours stays for boarding, so drop off and pick up time should be within the same time frame, but we are flexible by an hour or two. If your pick up is 2+ hours past the 24 hour drop off time, day care will be needed. When communicating a drop off/pick up time, please give us a set time and not a window of time. We greatly appreciate texts about arrival and departure times. We have a pet care routine with our own dog Goose, so it is easy to add others into our walking, feeding and loving routine. :) We follow instructions from each pet owner regarding physical activity, feeding and lounging on a daily basis. We aim to make your pet as comfortable as he/she is at home.
Reviews


Erin and Shane are great caregivers. While away, they communicated daily with text messages containing pictures and comments. They have a nice set up to watch and care for visitors: a large lot and a great large fenced in backyard for daily play and exercise. They took my two Labradors out for extended walks every day.

Erin and Shane were wonderful to communicate and work with. We loved that we got to meet them before agreeing to have them watch our Vizsla. That was comforting to know who she would be staying with! They did a great job communicating with us while our dog was in their care and have a wonderful place to keep dogs cozy. Definitely will be returning for future times we need care for our dog!

Shane and Erin are amazing! Our dog Hank recently spent 10 days enjoying long walks and their large back yard. Other dog friends to play with as well! Great communication and pics with daily updates. Would highly recommend them and will book Hank for a future stay!

I am so thankful for Erin and Shane! They took such good care of our golden retriever puppy while we were out of town. I was nervous to leave him, but they sent pictures and updates daily. He got lots of play time and exercise and had a great stay! We will use them again in the future for sure!
