Pet Boarding Prospect Heights

About: Growing up, my mother would buy and sell dogs. It was quite traumatic. I vowed to be better than her. I've had my dog Odin for 8 years, and I will happily care for your pet as well. Fortunately, my trauma is your gain. I'm well versed on most dog breeds and I know how to research breeds if something comes up. You can sit back and relax because my care for your dog will be the best. My commute is only 15mins away. So I take care of the dogs in the morning, then I care for them again on my lunch break. Then again after work and throughout the night with my own dog, Odin. I have several dog beds and comfy spaces for them to rest. I have a zone in my home that is for dogs only. They can grab a toy from the toy box or they can look out the balcony window as shades are always open for your pupper!

“Julie was so welcoming for my dog. She took such good care of her and sent tons of great pictures. If I am ever in the area again I will undoubtedly be choosing Julie M. to take very good care of my girl!”

“Maximus had a wonderful time with Eileen and her dogs. Eileen updates us with pictures and short notes each day about how Maximus is doing. It gives us peace of mind to know that Maximus is well taken cared of. We are so thankful for Eileen!”

“Judy was absolutely wonderful to work with for our dog Simba. We felt comfortable and relaxed to leave him for an extended time for the first time. We could also tell that Simba really enjoyed his time with Judy and Bill. They made him feel right at home, and took such thoughtful and attentive care of him!”

“Cecilia is always so wonderful with my older Pitbull Nala. We just came back from a long overseas vacation, and I trusted that my dog was in good hands. She always sends us tons of pictures, is super communicative, and I'm so grateful to have her as a sitter. Highly recommend her!”

“Melissa was the absolute best! This was my first time using rover in Chicago and we sure lucked out! She boarded our dog for 5 days and had the best care. Her family and dogs were so welcoming and Melissa was so communicative. Drop off and pick up was smooth. Oso came back happy and healthy. Melissa went above and beyond and I would recommend her to everyone! I will definitely be a repeat client.”

“Amanda took great care of my two dogs. It was very easy to communicate with her about details of their stay. When I dropped dogs off I felt very happy about leaving them. She was prepared to get them acclimated to her house and other dogs that may have been there. During the trip I received photos and updates daily on my pups. When I picked up my dogs she had everything organized and ready to go. The dogs looked great! I will definitely have Amanda watch my dogs the next time it is needed!”

Betsy S.

“Eliza took such great care of our George! She sent updates and photos which we really appreciated! Thank you Eliza! George loved his stay with you and his new friend Lola :)”

Kim H.

“Janette and Charles did a great job for my first time having Leo watched. They made sure he was cared for and got along with the other dogs they had. Would recommend them”

Mike A.

“Lauren and her family took such good care of our dog Sawyer! This was our first time being away from our puppy so we were worried she was going to be scared, but she had so much fun playing with their dog Zoe while we were away. Lauren sent us pictures everyday to let us know how she was doing. By the time we got back, Sawyer was already attached to Lauren, Zoe, and the rest of the family.”

Paul K.

“Naomi was great!! She was very prepared and ready to learn about and to care for our dogs just the way they needed. Our dogs had the best time taking long walks, lounging, and looking out the big window. She took the time to introduce our dogs and Milo and they became great friends. The house was quiet, very clean, and perfect for our dogs. We loved seeing the daily photos while we were traveling. Definitely would recommend!”

“It was my first time leaving my dog with Cristina and she was great! Very reassuring and sent pictures to me over the weekend to let me know Addie was doing just fine. Will definitely use Cristina again. Thanks!”

About: I’m Valeriia - an animal lover to the core. Growing up, our home was always full of pets, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it’s an energetic dog or an independent cat, I love caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. And yes - I can absolutely handle a strong puller on a leash without breaking a sweat! 🐾 I am relatively new to offering dog walking and boarding professionally (turns out we just didn’t know this could be a job sooner!), but our first clients came through word of mouth-which I think says a lot. Now we’re excited to connect with even more pet families through Rover. 🥰 When your dog stays with me, they’ll be in a smoke-free, child-free home where they’ll feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I live on the first floor with a spacious living room plenty of room to play and relax. While I don’t have a backyard, our community features a beautiful park and lake, making it the perfect place for calm, enjoyable walks. I am carefully follow every owner’s instructions, administering medications if needed, and sending frequent photo and video updates - so many that you’ll barely feel like you were apart 📸 One more thing: my English is still a work in progress, but don’t worry - communication is never a problem. And as for the pets? They understand me just fine. 🐾 My primary job is fully remote, so I’m home for most of the day. From time to time, I may step out for a couple of dog walks, but those are always short, and I’m never away for long. Because I live in an apartment community, it’s important that pets are comfortable staying home alone for short periods without excessive barking or howling, out of respect for our neighbors. The rest of the time, I’m almost always at home, so your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout their stay. I always follow the routine your pet is used to and carefully stick to all of your instructions, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, or any special requests. I also send regular photo and video updates, so you’ll always know what your pet is up to and can enjoy your time away without worrying.

“Julia helped us with a last minute weekend stay for our senior dog. She sent daily pictures with updates about how he was doing. She’s had a senior dog herself and was familiar with his medicine and was able to give the pills without a problem. Her home had no stairs, which was perfect for our dog since he has arthritis. She lives in a beautiful, quiet, safe neighborhood with minimal traffic and sidewalks perfect for walks.”

“Thao has kept my Golden Retriever, Sully, for two different stays when I have needed to board him when my husband and I travel. Once was for a 4 day stint and the other time was for a short weekend. She is very communicable via cell phone and responds to messages very quickly and responsibly. She has sent me updates of Sully with photos and videos and been very nice. It's been really great to be able to leave home and feel confident and trust that my dog is in good hands. She has even come to my home to pick him up before when I haven't had time to drop him off, and she's been very flexible and easy to work with. If you need to leave your pet with someone when you are vacationing, I would HIGHLY recommend her! I have been very pleased with both of my experiences with Thao and Sully always seems excited to see her, which says a lot. Thank you for taking such great care of my fur baby, Thao!!”

“Gracie had a wonderful time. She was very, very well taken care of. I had pictures at least twice a day that made me feel that she was so safe. She seemed happy and having a very good time and very comfortable. I will not hesitate to use Susan again if I need Gracie to be watched, they’re very nice people. I feel that I have also made new friends for life.”
