Dog Boarding in Palatine

“I am so thankful that Kent was able to take care of our precious girl Sprinkles. This was the longest time she stayed with a non-family member and Kent made us feel so comfortable with his updates and pictures. Will definitely book Kent again!!!”

“Michael took great care of Kiki again! This was the third time we have left Kiki with Michael in the last few months and every time he has done an excellent job keeping and caring for her. We always receive lots of photos of Kiki from him, which is great for our peace of mind. We will definitely be boarding Kiki with Michael again.”

“Thank you Judy for an outstanding experience for our beloved dog and for all of us. Your love and caring for Tesla was so wonderful. You communicated twice a day with pictures and updates and they were detailed and reassuring. We really looked forward to our mini chats. Your responsiveness was also great. We knew we could reach you at any time, not that we needed to 😊. You also provided a safe and happy environment for him and he loved being in your home. He was a truly contented pup while he was with you. Words cannot express how grateful we are to you, for providing a home away from home for our dog. Thanks also for grooming him and keeping him in a tip top condition. We cannot say enough about the wonderful service and care you provided. We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing he was in the best care we could have arranged for him. Thanks again and any dog is lucky to have a home with you while their owners need to be away. We certainly were. I cannot recommend you enough. You are truly the best!!!! 🐕💕🙏🥰”

“This was my dogs first time thing with Kyle. During our initial meeting, Kyle was very kind and has a nice dog friendly apartment. I didn’t feel any worry about if my dog was going to be well taken care of. During my dog’s stay, Kyle kept me up-to-date with daily pictures and feedback on their activity for that day. Kyle is very interactive and I would highly recommend him even if you have a high energy dog like mine!”

About: 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and it’s been a lifelong passion. Over the years, I’ve looked after pups of all sizes—from a tiny 8 lb dachshund to strong, lovable 100 lb pitbull mix. My experience includes everything from energetic puppies to slow-moving seniors, each with their own needs and personalities. I currently live with two spayed female dogs who are well-socialized and have peacefully cohabitated with several foster dogs since last year. I regularly volunteer with Border Tails Rescue, providing a safe, nurturing home for dogs in transition. Through fostering, I’ve gained deep experience with behavior observation, gentle training, and helping anxious or shy dogs feel secure. I’ve managed feeding routines, administered medications, and supported dogs through recovery and adjustment periods. I’m especially mindful of canine body language and group dynamics, and I only accept dogs who are friendly with others to maintain a safe, peaceful environment. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I treat every pup with patience, respect, and the kind of attention I’d want for my own. 🐶 When dog sitting, I am home all day so your pup will have lots of attention. On the rare occasion I do leave the house, it's never for more than 4 hours at a time. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I share my home with two friendly, playful dogs—Miley, a 50 lb mixed breed, and a 75 lb American Bully—who are well-socialized and enjoy respectful canine company. My securely fenced yard provides space for supervised outdoor play, and my middle school children, who are also well-versed in watching and caring for dogs, help ensure everyone feels safe and supported. I only accept dogs who are known to be dog-friendly to maintain a positive, secure environment for all.

“Erena was the first rover sitter I’ve ever booked with for my 2 year old golden retriever & we had the best experience! She sent detailed updates with pictures during my dog’s whole stay and it was very clear that Laila was very well taken care of. Erena gave Laila lots of play time in her yard, took her out for walks, and gave her lots of cuddles and attention! I felt very comfortable knowing that Laila was in good hands with Erena and her husband. I would recommend Erena to anybody looking in the area, and would definitely book with her again!”

“Michelle was a great dog sitter!!! We did a meet and greet before to make sure the her dog and our dog meshed okay. That put me at ease going into our vacation. Also, it gave us some time to get to know each other. We got daily messages and pics that were fun to see. She has a fenced in yard and deck where the dogs like to pal around. Rosie seemed right at home at her house. Michelle is very communicative and very on top of your pups needs. I can tell she’s a true dog lover!”

“My dog Poppy loves staying with Mary and her family. Mary was also very flexible with pickup time when my travel got delayed which was so nice and took some of the stress of the delay away.”

Mallory N.

“Leigh and her family were awesome in caring for our dog! They treated Lexi like family and Lexi loved her stay with them! We greatly appreciate Leigh's flexibility in accommodating our needs. She sent many pictures and kept us updated during our absence. She had excellent communication with us and we knew Lexi was in good hands while we were away. It is obvious that Leigh and her family love dogs and we will definitely choose them again to care for Lexi.”

“Eileen is excellent! My dog stayed for a week and loved it there. We did a one night trial previously just to make sure everything would be good for a long stay. My dog is older and more chill than most and he fit right in with Eileen's dog. There's a back yard and plenty of spaces indoors and out. Eileen took the dogs on many walks, helped my dog deal with some seasonal allergies and sent several pictures and updates throughout the week. Highly recommend!”
