Pet Boarding in Riverwoods

“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!”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and truly consider pets to be part of the family. Over the years, family and friends have trusted me to care for their beloved pets while they were away, and I’ve always loved welcoming them into my home. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’m committed to providing a happy and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I work part-time and am home most days, which means your pet will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I start each morning with a trip to the park and a long walk with my dog, followed by another walk after lunch and an evening walk. Between walks, we spend time in the backyard enjoying fresh air and playtime. I understand how important routine is for pets, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and active environment where they feel comfortable and at home. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have always had pets as part of my life. I have a large, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and relax. Daily walks are an important part of my routine, and all dogs are always kept safely leashed during walks. I treat every pet in my care like a member of the family, making sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and cuddles. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home away from home for every dog I care for.

“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!!!! 🐕💕🙏🥰”

“Thomas is an amazing sitter, and communicating with him is very smooth. He sends me photos of my dog and keeps me updated on how he's doing. He was very patient waiting for me before I picked up Echo. I will continue to use him as a sitter in the future.”

“Rizwan, Noor in the whole family were great! Mason was loved and taken care of very well. In the daily pictures and updates made our days! We will definitely use them again for future travels.”

“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.”

“Our dog had a great time! The family and their dog were very friendly, and they will update you every day with cute pictures! They’re very accommodating and will do a first meet and greet for both of our dogs to get to know each other. They’re very attentive and really made our dog feel welcomed and relaxed. It was a great peace of mind. I highly recommend Cindy.”

“Thao took great care of Murphy and Macy during my 3 night trip. She communicated well during both pick up and drop off - took the dogs to the park without me asking (which I so appreciated) - and they came back very happy. I'd gladly use Thao again when schedule align! THANK YOU! Murphy, Macy and Kyle”

“Soojin is an amazing doggy sitter! My pup Toby loved her so much, the next time I brought him to stay with her he was practically jumping out of the car window to jump in her arms. She truly loves dogs and caring for them and will treat your pup as if it's her own. 10/10! Will absolutely bring Toby back to stay with her when I need a sitter.”

“We really appreciated Christina's professional and accommodating nature. Also I am no expert eventhough we have a dog. Christina seemed to be very in control and much needed with our little spoiled baby. Our diya's pictures looked as if she was quite happy and adjusted in Christina's home and I would strongly recommend Christina as well as would be happy to utilize her if we are traveling next time around. Thank you Christina for being really good with our Diya.”

“Melissa was truly the best! So communicative and thoughtful sending the sweetest daily photos and updates that made us smile every time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were safe, happy, and so well loved in her care. We’re beyond grateful and would book Melissa again in a heartbeat!”
