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.
Reviews
Matthew & Michelle took such wonderful care of our Lola while we were on vacation for a week. They took her on multiple walks a day, played catch with her, and gave her lots of love. They sent daily updates and fantastic pictures. Lola found her home away from home!
Matthew and Michelle were AMAZING! They kept us updated with photos and they took such good care of my dog. I have a 100 pound black lab who isn’t the best walker (lol) and they still found a way to walk him. I don’t think my dog wanted to leave when we picked him up haha! They really are great, book with them!
Great communication while on trip. Our dog appeared very comfortable which helped us relax and was appreciated.
They were very flexible when our flight got cancelled, and we appreciate how much the whole family snuggles with Oscar! Thanks!

Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced in yard and 2 playful dogs that will keep your dog company throughout the day. We treat our dog companions like they are part of our family. For example, we like to play fetch, take them on walks, and give lots of belly rubs throughout the day. We are accommodating to the specific needs of each dog as we know they all come with a unique personality. Our number one goal is to make sure you and your dog feel comfortable when you are away.
