Pet Boarding North Chicago

“My pet had spent the fantastic days in her house because I felt he didn’t want to go back home with me. I appreciated about what I could get good travel due to her care.”

“Keira was amazing with our dog! She and her boyfriend are so sweet and thoughtful. We got pictures/videos during boarding, and our dog loved their yard.”

Briana H.

“Julie was available last minute, and even with the limited time she was swift to respond and easy to communicate with. We dropped Brutus off and met her two dogs and son who would all be hanging out - I could instantly tell this was going to be great for our Maltese. After receiving a few fun photos throughout the stay, Brutus was happy and totally exhausted when we picked him up. Thanks for a great stay and highly recommended!”

“My pet was well taken care of during his stay. Michael was very nice and kept me updated while my pet was with him.”

Jalyn J.

“Anna was super kind and accommodating. She did take pictures (which I so appreciate) including on walks. My dog was a bit high energy and Anna managed well - I know because he came back tired. Also, super helpful when we had to cut the trip short. TY Anna!”

About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner and animal lover for many years. My dog, Chase, was diagnosed with cancer at age 11, and I cared from him through the very end of his journey until he passed away at 12. Caring for him taught me patience, compassion, attention to detail, and the importance of treating every pet like family. In addition to caring for Chase, I’ve pet sat for family and friends for years, with many dogs staying in my home for two weeks or more at a time. I understand that every pet has unique routines, personalities and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone. On the occasional errand or appointment, I use pet cameras to keep an eye on them and ensure they’re safe and comfortable. Providing peace of mind for both pets and their owners is very important to me. My goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care that I gave my own fur baby. Whether you’re looking for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, or walks, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every animal in my care like family and look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Why pet parents choose me: • Work from home, providing frequent supervision •Experience with extended pet stays •Comfortable following special routines and care instructions •Dedicated to keeping pets safe, comfortable, and loved •Regular updates and communication for owners •Treat every pet like family I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide frequent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Pets in my care are rarely left alone and become part of my daily routine. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walks, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s schedule, exercise needs, feeding routine, and personality. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, a midday walk, or simply a comforting presence, I am happy to help. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and preferences, and I will follow your care instructions closely. Because I work from home, I can monitor pets throughout the day and provide plenty of attention and companionship. On the rare occasion that I need to step out, I use pet cameras to keep an eye on them and ensure they remain safe and comfortable. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets are treated like family, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident while you’re away.

“Norma was awesome. She sent me pictures and video. You can tell she really loves the animals. My dog was very happy and had fun playing with her dogs.”

“Thank you Jayne, for looking after Alley so well. She was a very happy dog when we picked her up. We will definitely be using your services again the next time we are out of town. You provided a great home away from home experience for Alley. The regular photos and videos were very reassuring. Thank you again.”

About: I have 2 years of professional dog/cat handling. I currently work at an animal hospital as a kennel attendant! I have had dogs of my own growing up, and now I own 6 cats. I just love caring for animals. I am free Monday-Friday so I will be available to give all my attention to your fur baby! They will have plenty of cuddles and play time! My mom and I will both be very much involved with your fur baby! I do not have a fenced yard BUT I will gladly take your doggy on multiple walks! I do have 6 cats but they have their own room/space so they will not interfere with any animals I’m boarding :)

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who recently relocated to the USA. While I love it here, I deeply miss the family dogs I had to leave back in my home country. Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I'm so excited to open my heart and home to your furry family member! What sets me apart is the personalized attention your dog will receive. I am currently home full-time, so caring for dogs is my main focus. My husband also works from home, which means there is almost always someone in the apartment, and your pup will rarely, if ever, be left alone. I live in a comfortable apartment with wonderful green spaces nearby for walks and outdoor time. I'm happy to adapt to your dog's unique personality and routine. If your pup loves to stay active, I'd be delighted to take them on walks or runs. If they prefer a slower pace, they're welcome to curl up on the couch with me for plenty of cuddles and relaxation. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved pet with someone else. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet your pup! I am home during the day, which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout your dog's stay. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I can easily follow your pup's established feeding, bathroom, exercise, and medication schedule. I take care of all daily walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My husband works from home full-time, so while I am your dog's primary caregiver, there is almost always someone else in the home as well. This means your dog will have plenty of companionship and will rarely, if ever, be left alone. With our flexible schedules, your pup can enjoy frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, and lots of affection throughout the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood in a ground-floor apartment, which is ideal for dogs since there are no steep stairs or elevator rides to navigate. We also have a securely gated balcony where your pup can safely enjoy some fresh air and watch the world go by. I keep my home dog-proofed, free of hazards, and calm so every guest feels comfortable and secure. While I am the one providing your dog's care, my husband works from home, so there is almost always someone in the home as well. During walks, I always keep dogs securely on a leash, stay aware of our surroundings, and prioritize their safety at all times. I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own.

“Deirdre is clearly an experienced dog watcher! She took our dog for several days and was kind enough to even drop her off when our flight was getting in late. Her home is set up to watch dogs- gates back yard, understands how they interact, etc. highly recommend!!”

Carey P.

“Jean is caring and very attentive to my dog. She gave multiple updates throughout his time there and paid attention to his behavior and asked questions. Very highly recommended”

“Petra was so amazing. I will be using her again 🥰”

Luella J.

“Jessica is fantastic! She took our pup to the park and on her errands which made him very happy. Very communicative too the entire time with photos and videos. And she takes excellent photos to boot!”

Anthony M.

“A thousand stars. Kelsey helped me out in a pinch. Lovely and inviting personality, lovely and inviting home. Very flexible -- (wasn't sure when, exactly, I would complete my 1000 mile drive, and drop off my goober dog). Benny was instantly comfortable with Kelsey even though we hadn't had time for a meet and greet. Kelsey kept me in touch with how he was doing in general, and checked in with me when she detected a brief limp. REALLY STELLAR experience -- cannot recommend highly enough.”

Robynn B.

“Would absolutely book with Marta again! She took wonderful care of our senior dog who requires daily medication. She was great to work with, highly recommend!”

Mia M.

“Floppy and Ella had a great time! I received updates with pictures almost every day. They were also very accommodating to the pick up and drop off time.”

Nelmarie V.

“Stella is the best! We’ve had our dogs stay with her and they’ll be back! Very caring, professional setting, and she’s great at sending updates on how they’re doing :)”

Brian J.

“Nicole is great and makes the whole process super easy. We just completed our third booking for our dog at her house. Hope to bring our dog back again soon!”

Erin D.

“We were really happy with our decision to have Monica care for our two dogs during a weekend away. She was super responsive, flexible, and accommodating and it was obvious she loves animals and took very good care of them. Her house is very clean with lots of places for the dogs to relax, and her fenced backyard was perfect for playtime. Highly recommend!”
