Dog Boarding in Pontoon Beach, IL

“Tina and her husband were wonderful caretakers for our sweet terrier Lilly. They were so welcoming when we got there. Their setup was perfect. They had a fenced back yard. They also took her on walks, brushed her, doted on her, let her sleep with them and made her feel so at home that when we came to pick her up she wanted us to come in instead of running out to the car as usual. She wanted all her peeps to be together. That is true testimony to the wonderful experience she had. Tina also kept us updated every couple of days with photos and gave us a full report when we came to pick up. Our girl had no problems so no more reporting was required. We were delighted with their services!”

“Shannon was a great sitter for Victor! She kept me posted about how he was doing every two days. We will definitely choose Shannon for next sitting. Thanks!”

“Keri did a great job. We missed our pups while we were away and the many pics and videos of our dogs having fun made our trip less stressful. Recommend!”

“Joy was able to watch my dog on short notice. She was great to work with. I like she had a fenced in back yard. Will definitely use her again.”

Lori S.

“Jamie and Aaron are awesome! They offered a meet-and-greet a few days before our pup's visit, giving us a chance to meet them, their two dogs, and cats. From the moment you meet them, you can tell they really love animals and want to make each of their "guests" feel safe and at home. In fact, I think Row felt so at home at Jamie and Aaron's, he would have been happy to move in! Jamie kept us updated and sent pictures and videos throughout our trip - it was so fun to see him playing with their pups and snuggling in with them on the couch. We'll gladly book another stay with Jamie and Aaron!”

“Nicole was great communicating with us. Our big crazy puppy was taken with her at the meet and greet, didn’t even jump on her! To us that was a very positive sign. Nicole has dogs of her own plus had a few more boarding. Ca$h had his first chance of meeting pups his own size and did well.”

“Our dog Kota loved staying at Laura’s place. Laura is a patient, loving and intelligent caregiver. Excellent communication. Her house is set up well and there’s space for dogs both to play and to have quiet time. We will use Laura’s services again. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi, I’m Maddie! 🐾 I’ve had cats and dogs in my life since I was a baby — from tiny Pomeranians to big, lovable German Shepherds. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors (both dogs and cats!) and love giving pets the care, walks, and attention they deserve. I’m currently a medical resident, which means my schedule shifts weekly — but that actually gives me the flexibility to help care for your pets when you need it most. You can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and trustworthy (I take caring for your furry family members as seriously as I do my patients!). Whether it’s long walks, playtime, snuggles, or just keeping your pets company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱💛 As a medical resident, my schedule changes week to week, but I have flexibility for daytime, evening, and some weekend visits to fit your pet’s needs. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with my own small dog. There’s plenty of room for play indoors, and I have safe, walkable areas nearby for exercise and potty breaks. While I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of fresh air and supervised outdoor time. I can also crate pets upon request to match their routine and keep them comfortable.

“We had a great experience leaving our Aussidoodle, Willie, with Cynthia and her sweet lab, Luna. I received numerous pictures and was happy to know Willie had a very large, fenced in yard for roaming and exercise. Cynthia treated Willie like her own and gave positive feedback about his stay. I won't hesitate to request Cynthia for future boarding.”

About: More than just feeding and walks, I focus on making pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. Skilled with maintaining routines, giving extra one on one attention, and creating a calm home environment. I’m retired and absolutely love animals. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and I’d love to help out. I’m available any day of the week. I have a privacy fenced yard. I have a small terrier mix who’s ten that gets along with any dog. She’s getting older and can’t see very well. I could do whatever makes you feel comfortable as far as your dog being around her.

“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”

Veronica S.

“Max loves having Jennifer. We did too. She was very attentive and loving to Max. He appeared to feel like he was on vacation too! Thanks to Jennifer it was a great experience and we hope to have her again!!”
