Dog Boarding Portage Park

“Kimberly helped us out with a super last minute 2 week boarding stay. Dallas was well taken care of and made a new little bestie in Kimberly’s son (probably because he had all the treats 😂)!”

About: I absolutely love dogs!!!! All sizes and breeds...I don't discriminate....I also travel a lot for work so I understand the importance of having someone you can trust and feel comfortable leaving your babies with! I've relied on rover for my own needs many times and now I want to return the favor by helping out when I can!!! Your pups will be safe with me. I have an American bulldog who is the sweetest most playful dog ever so your dogs will also get lots of exercise!!! I live in a town home and have a small fenced in backyard, so no worries there! I work from home majority of the week.Looking forward to helping you and your furry babies. One last thing. IMPORTANT- MONDAYS drop offs (after 3pm) or early morning pick ups (by 630am) I am working from home majority of the week so I am available to spend as much time as necessary with pups and shower them with all the love and attention they need. I can take them for longer walks in the late afternoon and a few shorter breaks thru out the day I have a fenced yard if they want to lay out and enjoy the outdoors. There is also lots of space to go on long walks around the neighborhood. I dont have a crate so your pups should be home trained or feel free to bring your own crate. If I have to step out for a bit to go to a store or something, however it would always be a quick trip.

“Abigail and her family are true gems. My girl is 13 years old and typically very anxious. She is so comfortable with the family. I wish I had found Abigail and her family years ago ❤️”

“Brian took great care of my dog and asked thoughtful questions to ensure my dog’s first stay with him would go well. He provided a picture daily and my dog was happy when I picked her up.”

“Sharon was absolutely wonderful!! We will certainly reach out to her anytime we need someone to watch Betty in the future! She shared lots of updates and photos as well are really integrated our dog Betty into her family and routine which was so important to us!! When we picked Betty up we could tell she was so so happy and comfortable with Sharon and got lots of playtime and love! Sharon made sure there were plenty of walks, park and/outdoor time based on what is best for the dogs! For example one day is was very hot and she set up a pool in the backyard for Betty and her dog! I highly recommend Sharon especially if you have a dog like my Golden Retriever who would much rather be around other people and dogs than in a crate!”

“This was the first time used Rover in many years, and first time with my current pup Gibby. I was a bit nervous leaving him with people we'd just met but my worry was wasted. Rizwan, Noor and their family took great care of my pup. He was walked multiple times a day, was showered with pets and was able to monitor their neighborhood from a perfect viewing spot. They kindly welcomed him (us) into their home for a very comfortable stay. Thank you Noor and Rizwan for taking such good care of Gibby.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jackie took such amazing care of Aomi! She made sure Aomi was comfortable and happy every single day. I really appreciated the daily pictures and videos — it was so nice to see how well Aomi was doing while I was away. Communication was excellent; Jackie always kept me updated and responded quickly to any questions. Her home has a lovely, welcoming environment, and Aomi clearly felt right at home there. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter — we’ll definitely book with Jackie again! 🐾”

“Katie is fantastic! She watched our dog Lilly over the 4th of July weekend and helped our scared baby make it through fireworks and thunderstorms. She sent pictures and updates everyday. We will absolutely use her again!”

“Maria was amazing with my dog!! I was so nervous leaving my dog with someone other than family. Lucy is a rescue so she has been through it. Maria and her daughter took such good care of my pup and sent pictures daily.”

“Looks like Blue had a great time. Guadalupe was ready to take on Blue for a few days over the holiday 4th of July. I would definitely have her watch him again, she was so kind and a beautiful experience for him.”

Tim S.

“We were really worried about boarding Nika with someone new since our old go-to folks were unavailable, but Katie was a dream!! She kept us updated on how she was doing and getting along with video and pics, Nika seemed like she was having so much fun I was starting to worry she might not want to come back home ??? Thanks, Katie! We will definitely book you again soon!”

Daniel N.

“Chad and his wife were great! They were very responsive and sent many picture updates which made me feel good about leaving Dolly! Chad was also very flexible, he worked with us to pick her up early when our flight was changed. We booked them again for a longer trip and I know Dolly is in good hands!”

Rebecca S.

“Posie always loves staying with Megan and her kiddos and I always feel safe leaving her there knowing that Meg will take the best care of her!”

Louisa V.

“Quyeisha is super knowledgeable and professional. Our dog seems to really get excited when we drop him off there to stay with her two pups. She’s great!”

Rick G.

“Doug & Deb took great care of our dog while we were on vacation! They provided a lot of updates and were flexible, convenient, and responsive. We’ll definitely book again!”

“I had to find a last minute sitter for Willow due to a change in travel plans from the snowstorm, and Karina was super easy to work with. Willow had a great time and I wouldn’t hesitate to take her back! She definitely made dine furry friends :)”

About: I’ve raised my mini-golden doodle of 8 years from when he was 2 months old. I’ve trained him to potty outside & all the main tricks. He’s well behaved & gentle. That’s why many of my friends have trusted me with caring for their pets. Whether that be checking in to feed them, walk them, play with them, or even lightly train them. My friends think I’m a dog whisperer. I’m currently doing a career change & study for my Illinois real estate license. My availability is completely open and flexible at this time. Let me know what your needs are! I care for dogs in a way that respects their routine, their boundaries, and keep things clean and in order. Whether it be from dog sitting overnight, I have a keen ear to puppies and when they’re up to something or know when they need to go out to potty in the middle of the night. Any other type of care will be simply respecting your home rules & how you like your pet to be handled or trained along the way.

“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”

“Tammy is amazing! We have a senior dog and had been using the same dog sitter for many years, so we really needed to feel comfortable to start with someone new. Tammy made us and our pups super comfortable right from the start. Her communication is great and she took extra time to understand his needs and routines so he immediately felt at home in new surroundings. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — The best sitter for work travel peace of mind Christian has once again been incredible with Louie! Now that my work travel has started up again, having someone so reliable and caring makes all the difference. He was super flexible with my schedule, kept me updated the whole time, and made sure Louie was happy and well taken care of. It’s such a relief knowing Louie is always excited to see him and is in the best hands while I’m away. Christian is truly our go-to sitter—couldn’t recommend him more!!!!”
