“Beth was excellent! This was a great experience, I would definitely recommend Beth (and her sweet little dog Gracie!) and will be sure to reach out to her again when needed. Thank you so much, Beth!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years, and my 15-year-old Pomeranian is a very special part of our family. He has been with us for so long that I honestly can’t imagine our home without him. I’m also a mom of three, so we have a busy but loving family home where pets are very much part of everyday life. My kids love dogs, and we’re used to having a furry member of the family around. Having a senior dog has taught me to be patient and pay attention to the little things. I know that older dogs sometimes need a little more rest, more frequent potty breaks, and extra care and attention. We also travel to Egypt and Serbia every year, and my Pomeranian has flown overseas with me many times. I know how much work it can be to travel with a dog, and I also know how hard it is to leave them behind. That’s actually one of the reasons I decided to offer boarding. I’ve had to leave my own dog with people I trusted, and even then, I knew he acted differently because I wasn’t there. I remember wondering if he was okay, if he was comfortable, and if someone was giving him the same attention I would. So when your dog stays with me, I want you to feel comfortable too. I’ll get to know your dog’s routine, personality, feeding schedule and what makes them happy and comfortable. I’ll keep you updated with pictures so you don’t have to wonder how they’re doing. We have a fenced backyard, and I’ll take dogs for daily walks on the beautiful 2-mile path around Stellwagen Farm, which is only a few minutes from our home. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone. To me, they’re not just a booking or another dog staying at my house. They’re someone’s family — just like my Pomeranian is part of mine. I’m a stay-at-home mom and am available pretty much all the time, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving home with a fenced backyard,and a finished basement. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m available most of the time and can give your dog lots of attention throughout the day. I also have a senior Pomeranian, so I understand the importance of patience and making sure every dog feels comfortable.
“Had another wonderful experience with Ken and his family! The daily pictures and videos help you feel connected. The love and care that Roo received was outstanding! I wish we could give them 100 stars!”
“Mercedes is the best at what she does. My dog loves her and her family. Very loving and caring and gives constant updates so you feel at ease if you’re wondering how your pet is doing. Overall 5stars and would highly recommend. Thanks again Mercedes. See you next trip!”
“My Paisley loved Christie and her family. Christie kept me abreast of Paisley’s stay with pictures and video. Paisley fit right in. Christie even dropped Paisley off at home. I definitely will have Paisley stay with them again! ❤️”
“Sharon was absolutely amazing. She took good care of our big puppy. She sent pics and kept us updated. Very kind and peaceful environment just like what our big puppy is used to. She did amazing working with his separation anxiety. Thank you Sharon, you are the best.”
“Amy was amazing! I left my cat Dino in her care for over a week, and she was very communicative, kind, and caring for my cat. By the end of his stay, he was even cuddling with her throughout the night because of how comfortable he was. Will definitely book again! 10/10 service would recommend”
“I cannot recommend Kelly and her family enough! They took exceptional care of my Goldendoodle, Biscuit, while I was on holiday. This was Biscuit’s first time away from me, and as a pup, I was a little nervous about how he would adjust. However, Kelly’s warm and welcoming nature immediately put me at ease. She kept me updated, making sure I knew he was happy and well cared for. It’s clear that she and her family truly love dogs, and their kindness and attentiveness made all the difference. Biscuit came back happy, healthy, and well-loved. Kelly and her family will absolutely be my go-to for pet care moving forward. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your furry family member, I highly recommend Kelly!”
“Louie had so much fun with Tami and her dogs Dolly and Bear! Tami has a wonderful backyard that the dogs got to play around in. Throughout our trip we knew Tami was taking great care of him sending lots of pics and updates! We know Louie can be challenging (he’s a very hyper puppy) but luckily he had Bear to play with. We highly recommend Tami and would definitely book with her again!”
“I’ve never left Truffle with anyone but family members. She and I have been inseparable since her original pet mommy (my mother) passed. Needless to say she is extremely spoiled and I was very apprehensive about leaving her with anyone!! But from the first initial meeting with Jenni and her son that doubt started to melt away. And by the second day into my weekend getaway I was totally comfortable with Truffle being in Jenni and her little assistants care. After I shared the many adorable photos, My family members teased that Truffle was enjoying her vacation just as much or more. And my grandchildren were jealous that Truffle had a new found little friend🤣”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 5 years old. I took care of dogs, cats, and birds. Pets like to be around me and feel safe. I’m currently unemployed so I have plenty of time and energy to take care of your dog anytime starting 11am all week days as you need. I have a big yard that makes your dog feel free in plenty of space to play and walk. I don’t have any dogs at home, so your dog will feel safe and enjoy peace.

“Shout out to Danny and his lovely girlfriend! Our meet and greet went great. Danny was very accommodating on letting us drop Roxi off early which was nice. Danny was great on updating us with pictures and letting us know how Roxi's day was, he also let us know how attached she was to him and how crazy yet loving our big baby was during her stay as well as trying to eat his dinner! Haha all in all Roxi had a great vacation with Danny and came home happy, but most of all Danny enjoyed Roxi staying with him and his girlfriend. We will definitely be booking Danny in any future trips! Thanks you two again!”
“Tanisha and Darrius take care of Bentley like he’s their own. His excitement is palpable upon arrival at their home. He loves their dog, Zuri and plays well with the other dogs he encounters. Bentley just returned from his first boarding visit. Tanisha kept me abreast of his activity via text and pictures. Bentley has found his home away from home with Tanisha and Darrius.”
“Phyllis and Greg gave Oreo (my 2 year old border collie) a second home while my family was traveling for holiday! Oreo had a great 9 day stay with them and even gained 2 pounds. We appreciated the daily photos and text updates! Highly recommend Phyllis rover service.”
“I couldn't be happier with how things went leaving Dolce with Christina and her family. I have boarded my dog at kennels before and have always had some issue when I returned, not this time. I could tell she was happy and felt at home with Christina and her family. Would highly recommend Christina to anyone.”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Mokena home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Mokena.
