Dog Boarding Near North Side

“Niamh was the sweetest with my pup! I last minute needed to bring him on a work trip to Chicago and she instantly put me at ease, knowing we wouldn't be able to do a meet n greet beforehand. From the video call, to dropping him off, Niamh was very communicative and provided updates throughout the day. Highly recommend her if you are in the Chicago area or traveling with your pet and need someone reliable to watch them!”

“Katie is so amazing!! So flexible with timing, kind, and sends pictures! She also was so nice in meeting me before so I could make sure my dog would be okay with her dog. Her dog is so chill so it was perfect for my anxious dog. Thank you so much again Katie!!! Definitely will book again 😊😊😊”

“Steven and his wife were wonderful! Miller came home tired, happy, and clearly had the best time. Steven kept me updated throughout the few days he watched Miller and even sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. Miller went on so many walks, which is absolutely his favorite thing to do, so he was truly living his best life! I would highly recommend Steven and his wife to anyone looking for someone who will take great care of their dog. We will be rebooking!”

“We love Jenna! She was so great with my dachshund Honey. I don’t leave her often, so it was wonderful to have a totally stress-free trip knowing Honey was happy and in great hands with Jenna. She checked in multiple times a day, sent lots of pictures, and was so sweet. Will definitely book her again!”

“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter for my dog, Izzy. Beata’s home is very dog friendly and her schedule allowed her to be with Izzy basically 24/7. Beata went out of her way to make sure both Izzy and myself were comfortable in her home and with her plans for the stay. She sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout Izzy’s stay and was very responsive.”

About: I’ve had dogs for over 25 years - from puppyhood through their senior days. My last dog passed away late last year, and now we’re looking forward to taking care of other people’s dogs! My wife and are retired and on the days we accept reservations will have plenty of time to take your dog on long walks and play! We have a single-floor apartment in the South Loop, We can accommodate a crate if your dog uses one. We will always follow your guidance on how much or little your dog prefers to interact with other dogs and people.
