Looking for a fur-ever friend!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Kelly. I have plenty of experience with cats and dogs. I’ve had 3 cats over the years: Tyson a black and white Magpie, Zoey a Maine Coon and Carmel a beautiful tan Tabby. Carmel lived to be over 20 years old! I’ve had four dogs: A Cockapoo, Chi-poo and two German Shepherds. Shepherds are my favorite dog bread, but I love chihuahuas and anything in between! My dog Harley and I enjoyed 13 fun filled years together and he and I, trained together at TOPS in Grayslake. For the last few years I haven’t had any pets of my own—an “empty nester”—but now I have time and room in my heart and home for your fury family! Please be assured, your pet will be in caring hands. I’m currently caring for pets (walking, visiting and boarding) full time and I am loving every minute! Looking forward to meeting you and your precious fury family too! I have a fenced dog run and deck with a gated pool. My husband and I love hosting all breeds of dogs who enjoy walks and the outdoors!

Information Kelly W. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know If your dog has ever been boarded for extended periods. How they react when left alone, to new people, other dogs, and on walks when they see other animals. We love to know what their daily routine is like so we can do our best to provide a similar environment for them.

A typical day

We have lots of windows for our guests to enjoy bird and squirrel watching while in-doors and a dog friendly neighborhood for our two daily walks (weather permitting). Our dog run, back deck with fenced pool is where we enjoy our after dinner socials. Each guest from different households has their own suite to retire to at night.
