Kim took really good care of my dogs. She constantly provided me with videos of them playing in her yard and updates on their feeding schedule and esting habits. My 2 dogs seem to have had a great time staying at her home for a few days. I will definitely book her again in the future.

Doggy Day Care • May 10, 2026

Kim is patient and loving and Frankie enjoyed his long walk and time playing in the large fenced in yard. We are so happy that we found Kim to watch our puppy when we have family outings. Thank you so much!

Another wonderful stay with Kim! She took exceptional care of our 5-month-old pup, showing so much love and patience throughout. Yoshi was still adjusting, and Kim handled his puppy energy and behaviors with ease and understanding. She even kept him safe and calm during a long tornado warning, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her fenced yard was perfect for helping him burn off energy, and she went above and beyond by teaching him how to play fetch—and even a little soccer! We also really appreciated the daily updates and photos, especially since we missed him a lot while we were away. We always feel confident leaving Yoshi with Kim—she consistently provides such thoughtful, attentive care. Highly recommend!

I am available 24/7 for boarding with the exception of when I might be away on vacation or away from the house or no more vacancies. I am conveniently located in a nice neighborhood just minutes from Six Flaggs Great America, Great Wolfe Lodge Water Park, and Gurnee Mills Mall. So caring for your family pet(s) will be a win-win for both you and me.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced in yard for room to run and play. I also have a screened in patio for a place to enjoy the fresh air outdoors when the weather doesn't cooperate and a place to dry off after they are out in the snow or rain.

A typical day

Weather permitting, we can check out the neighborhood and Lake Park on our walks. We can play fetch or frisbee in the back yard. We can play tug of war.
