Important Note: I have a six-year-old son, so for everyone’s safety and comfort, I can only accept dogs who are known to be friendly and gentle with young children. Thank you for understanding! Boarding Policy: My boarding rate covers care for approximately 24 hours from the time of drop-off. If pick-up extends significantly past that window, an additional fee may apply depending on the situation — I always try to be fair and flexible! Hello, and thank you so much for taking the time to visit my page! My name is Maddie, and I live in St. Charles, Illinois with my husband Shane and our six-year-old son George. We’re lucky to call a cozy single-family home our own — complete with a large, fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can stretch their legs, explore safely, and enjoy plenty of playtime and sunshine. Our home is peaceful, warm, and full of love — a true family environment where your dog will be treated with the same care, respect, and attention I’d give my own. Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up helping care for family dogs, and over the years, I’ve had the joy of watching over many beloved pets for friends, relatives, and neighbors. Whether it’s a big energetic retriever or a sweet senior who just wants some quiet company, I feel confident and comfortable providing personalized care to suit each dog’s unique needs and personality. I understand that leaving your dog in someone else’s care can feel stressful — and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I make it a priority to follow any specific instructions you provide, from feeding and medications to walk routines, quirks, and preferred naptime spots. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is not only safe and supervised but also being genuinely cared for, played with, and loved like a member of the family. If you’re looking for a welcoming, family-oriented home where your dog will be treated with kindness and attentiveness, I’d love to be considered. Please feel free to reach out with any questions — I’m happy to chat and see if we’d be a good fit for your furry family member!
