Pet care experience

Dog loving family in Downers Grove!

We started dog boarding after learning first hand how difficult it can be to find the right fit for your dog while traveling (and because our kids beg us for a second dog)! We provide boutique dog boarding in our home, intentionally limiting the number of dogs we care for at one time so we can offer attentive, personalized care in a calm, low-stress environment. We accept clients selectively to ensure the best fit for each dog and our family dynamic.

Lauren and Anders recently watched our dog Beau and did a wonderful job. We received regular updates and photos. We felt completely confident that they were treating Beau like one of their own pets. Highly recommend their services!

Lauren is awesome! She has taken care of our dog more times then I can count. Lauren is attentive, caring and always willing to do whatever my pup needs. The house is always clean and the fenced in yard is beautiful. Give her a shout... you won't be disappointed!!

Schedule

My husband and I both work for home. We will treat your dog like our own and incorporate he/she into our daily schedule with our own dog. A typical day starts with breakfast and a morning walk. Afternoons include naptime and backyard play time in our fenced in yard with the kids when they get home from school. Evening include dinner and another walk. Your dog will have access to our fenced in backyard.
