13. Nicholas C.
About: I’m a retired teacher and entreprenuer. My long time furry best friend recently passed. I’m looking to help others out by boarding their dogs. I am home all day everyday. I am home all day and can let your pup out as many times as needed. Most days consist of doing house work, yard work and watching tv so your pet would be great company to have. I am able to be with them at all times to give them as many walks as needed, feed at meal times, give medication, cuddles and belly rubs. We have a large home for them to roam and a deck they can sunbathe on.


14. Andrea H.

“Juno had the best day hanging out with Andrea and her dogs while we left on a day trip to Chicago. Juno is an anxious dog and getting pictures throughout the day showing her relaxed and playful was very reassuring. We would absolutely use Andrea again if we bring our dog on a trip to Clinton again.”
