True dog loving family

Pet care experience

Hello! Our family loves dogs of all shapes and sizes. Here’s a little about our story…..right after we got married we fell in love with our first pet, Mocha. She was an 8 week old Shiba Inu puppy. We had a wonderful 14 year life with her until she passed away in 2021. After she passed the house felt quiet and empty, so we knew we needed another dog (or 2). We were fortunate to adopt 2 wonderful dogs from the West Suburban Humane Society later that same year who have filled our lives with joy. We have experience helping our neighbors with their dogs when they need a sitter. Our children have grown up with dogs so they are very comfortable with all kinds of dog breeds. Our love of dogs inspired us to help other families find a caring and safe place to board their dogs while they are away.

Highly recommend! This was our second time boarding Duke with Michelle and Matthew, and once again they exceeded our expectations. They are wonderful hosts who truly go above and beyond to make sure Duke receives the best care and attention. They send the sweetest photos and updates, which make us so happy while we're away. Duke is always smiling in every picture, and it's clear he's having a great time! Thank you both again for another wonderful experience, we're so grateful for the love you give Duke!

Matthew and Michelle were wonderful hosts for our dog, Oona. They were great at communicating and sent photos and updates every day. Oona loved their big fenced in backyard and had lots of outdoor time. We highly recommend!

From the meet and greet to the 6 nights Millie spent with Matthew and Michelle during our vacation, we felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care. They are both dog lovers and it definitely shows. Their home is set up beautifully to accommodate a few dogs at a time and they have an amazing back yard for running around and playing. They also took care to feed Millie her additional supplements during meal time. Millie came home exhausted from 6 days of fun. We received several pictures of Millie's adventures while we were gone which gave us all peace of mind that she was in good hands. We highly recommend Matthew and Michelle's care services. We will definitely be back for our future sitting needs.
