Dog Boarding in Rock City, IL

“Mary and her husband are absolutely wonderful caregivers! I received daily updates about my Ivy and they were very sweet, loving and caring with her. I highly recommend Mary to anyone who needs to be able to trust 100% that their fur babies will be well cared for!”

“Theresa is simply amazing. She came through for my fur baby at the last minute when we needed to leave town. She was kind, patient and answered all of my questions to help soothe any anxieties with leaving my fur baby in someone else’s care. She was on time for pickup and drop off. She sent pictures and responded to text and phone calls promptly. You can’t go wrong with Theresa!!”

“She did a fantastic job. Keeping us informed every step of the way. We were wary of using a sitting service, but she made us feel extra comfortable by having us meet beforehand. You can tell she's doing this because she loves dogs.”

“Natiia paid extra attention to our little guy & made sure he enjoyed his stay. She was very responsive & I already have plans to bring him back! 👍👍”

About: We have had a dog or dogs for over 20 years. My husband and I both grew up with dogs as well. Our two dogs have been with us since they were puppies and both of them attended three levels of dog training classes. I work part-time very early in the morning and we spend a lot of time at home because my kids are homeschooled. There is usually always someone at home. I will do as much as I can to accommodate the dog owner’s preference in care for their dog. We have two dogs that can play with your dog. If your dog needs to be in a crate I can accommodate that. Our dogs are not allowed on the couches and chairs but my children do let them sleep in their beds.

“Our dogs had a great time at Jilly's place. She gave us frequent updates and was a great communicator. I would definitely recommend and rebook in the future!”

“Carissa was absolutely the best! Taking care of 2 large breed puppies isn't easy, but she was so great with them! She really knows dogs, and obviously realized what they were capable of as far as mischief and issues with cats and other dogs but handled them perfectly with no problems. My dogs were comfortable with her, and well taken care of with her house. Not to even mention the beautiful yard! She was beyond generous with updates and pictures. She really went out of her way to reassure me that they were alright. (I was nervous!) I am so excited to have a trusted sitter, and Carissa will definitely be seeing more of my pups in the future!”

“Boarding with Summer was great! She made it all very easy and I was never worried about my dog. She even sent a picture of him and gave me some updates to let me know that he was doing well.”

“Jen and her family are terrific. They treat my dog as if she was part of their family. I am lucky to have found her. I highly recommend her as an outstanding dog sitter.”

“At first I was a little skeptical of leaving smoky with somebody. But then a long came Miranda, she went above and beyond to take care of my Fur baby. She was amazing. She kept up-to-date with me and sent me a lot of pictures. When I went to pick up smokey, he was excited to see me, but he was well-loved with Miranda. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Jacqueline and her family took excellent care of our pups. They were patient with our pups despite the challenges they presented. We received regular updates that included videos and text. I knew they were in good hands and this allowed us to enjoy our time away. I will choose them every time we are away for an extended time. You should pick her too!”

About: I can do just about anything. I have experience with all ages of animals. I trained my own dog with basic commands. I am a very patient person and I will treat your furry baby the way I treat my own. I have a very energetic 2 year old, 40 pound, Belgian malinois/german Shepard that I rescued from our local shelter as a puppy. I walk/run him daily if not twice a day. Caring for dogs and cats is no inconvenience in my daily life. Our backyard is not fenced in, however I have a 50 ft leash available for use to allow dogs to have the freedom to roam and sniff. I can also take them out on a leash myself. For boarding we have an area for dogs to be alone to have downtime. Along with a large crate with a dog bed inside.

“Duke had a great time with Chris, Dan and their pups! Would definitely recommend and would schedule with them again while we are visiting my parents in Illinois.”

“Chewie seemed to adjust well as shown by pictures and messages. It was nice receiving messages and pictures while out of country! I’m sure she felt more at home since there were kitties, which she is used to having at home. Thank you for accepting our booking as it was kind of last minute. Katie”

“This was our first time using Rover, and we were very pleased. ***** We had a meet & greet before booking and I could tell right away that Lucy Liu would be taken care of and left in good hands. 🩷 Hanna was amazing with our 8 month old Shih Tzu. She also would keep us updated and sent pictures to let us know how our sweet girl was doing. We will definitely be booking with Hanna and Sadie (her sweet 3 yr old Boxer) again!!! 🩷🐾🩷 PS.. She also taught Lucy Liu to finally conquer going up stairs, YaY! Thank you again!! Kelli & Tony and Lucy Liu”

“Athena loved it and seemed super comfortable! Stefanie was great! Definitely will be a repeat customer!”

“Ashley was an amazing sitter for my pups. We had a thorough consultation before scheduling. She was accommodating to both pups needs and personalities. They responded well to the environment. She provided regular updates with pics. I enjoyed working with her.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. My own pup, Wilfred, is deeply loved and spoiled—just the way every dog should be! I regularly dog sit throughout the year and truly love animals with all my heart. I'm kind, patient, and gentle with every pet I meet. I also pride myself on keeping a clean, safe environment and staying active to ensure your dog gets the play, exercise, and attention they deserve. With me, your furry family member will be treated like my own—loved, entertained, and well cared for. While I now work during the day, I’m still fully committed to providing attentive and loving care for your pet. I’m available for midday check-ins during lunch and am free after 4:30 PM to spend the entire evening giving them the attention and companionship they deserve. Your pet’s well-being remains a top priority in my home. I provide a calm, loving environment and tailor care to each pet’s routine and needs—whether they stay in my home or I visit theirs. I’m available for midday check-ins and spend evenings giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Your pet will be treated like family every step of the way.

“For a newbie on Rover she definitely delivered and did an excellent job! She has enough help around the house to make sure dogs are taken care of and getting attention at all times. She kept me updated as much as I would hope for and I felt the dogs were in good care while I was gone for the week! Would book again next year:)”

“Brynn was welcoming and reassuring when we dropped our dog off. She asked good questions and seemed very comfortable with our high energy dog. Bryan provided messages when we asked about Bailey. She was very prompt in responding. I would use Bryan as a boarder again.”
