Dog Boarding in Round Lake

“Kelsey was absolutely amazing! I was in a tough spot — I was getting married and the friend who was supposed to watch my dog, Inc, canceled last minute. I had no one lined up and was pretty stressed. I did a meet-and-greet with Kelsey and her husband, and right away I felt completely comfortable. They were both so kind and welcoming, and their home was perfect for Inc. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kelsey went above and beyond, and I had total peace of mind on such an important day. If I could give her more than five stars, I absolutely would! I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Debbie and Tom are awesome! This is the first time we have left our dog and didn’t worry a bit! You can tell they are both animal lovers! Our dog does best if she gets a walk in for the day and they had perfect setup in neighborhood and were willing to. Even though it’s a 30 min drive we will not hesitate to use Debbie and Tom for our next getaway!! 5 star sitters for sure!!!”

About: Hi! I'm Ali, dog lover and dog mom turned human mom. I offer a warm, loving, and safe home away from home for your fur babies. I have decades of experience, both owning and dog sitting dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. From teacup Yorkie puppies to senior greyhounds, I have the experience to ensure your pet is lovingly cared for. I work from home so your dog will have me there to care for them 24/7. And no couch is off limits (unless it is a rule in your home, in which case I'll snuggle them on the floor). I understand the anxiety of leaving a beloved family member in the care of someone else so I am always happy to send updates and pictures as often as you'd like. My senior hound recently passed so I currently have zero pets in the home. I do still have everything a pet would need during their stay, you just provide the necessities and their favorite comfort items. I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old so all dogs must be good with children. I work from home so your pet will have someone to care for them 24/7. I follow your rules and schedule to ensure a seamless transition from your home to mine. I have a large yard and sturdy privacy fence. There are quite a few stairs in my home so please keep that in mind if your pup is older or has issues going up/down stairs.

“Tyrone and Lexus seemed to enjoy their stay with Angela and Dave. They also have Honey and Bella to redirect the little furbabies. Thank you for accomodating aloof Tyrone and clingy LexusI The daily pictures and update, calmed the “hooman dogparents” as well? We will do it again with Angela.”

“Melody was nothing but wonderful with our sweet but highly anxious dog. She does a meet & greet prior to the date of drop off to get your dog comfortable and more familiar with her home - this made us feel very reassured she would be in good hands. Melody gave us daily updates with the best pictures and videos of our pup…who could not have looked happier!! Would recommend her & will be using her again in the future!”

“They took such good care of our dog while we were out of town! Provided plenty of pictures and I could definitely tell he was very happy with him!”

Christine W.

“Kim is always great with our little dog Winston. She provided walks, a large yard for him to run around in, and lots of pictures and updates. Winston loves being spoiled there.”

Dana M.

“This was a great fit for our pup. He is an older dog, so not as active. Still loves walks, but very big on rest, relaxing and tons of cuddles. Chisato was great at sending updates, pictures, videos - I could tell he was very well cared for. Will definitely be a repeat customer, assuming schedules on both sides allow for it!”

Melissa H.

“Jacob was so great watching our dog Oliver. We booked him a little shorter notice than I normally do and he arranged a meet and greet right away. Jacob is friendly, easy going, and communicates well. I really felt comfortable leaving my dog with him!”

“Milo's stay at Stella's was great! I appreciated her honesty as he has some treat aggression. He was great with her dog Buddy and liked one of the other dogs staying but not the labradoodle. I'm grateful she was able to keep him a little later too, as our flight got back late. She sent pictures regularly and I loved seeing Milo in motion! Thank you for taking such great care of my little pup!”

“Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.”

Betty V.

“We had a great experience with Norma. She is very capable and flexible. She was able to give me piece of kind while she cared for our large dog. She did a great job sending updates, photos and videos. I would highly recommend Norma and will have her watch my dog again.”

Michele M.

“Fantastic! I was worried about leaving Copper while I was traveling but Annie immediately put me at ease. Copper is usually hesitant around new people but immediately took to her. You can tell she is great with animals and a pet lover. She shared regular updates and photos so I knew everything was going well. Thank you!”

Steven A.

“Byron and Martha were great with my dogs , they kept me updated and provided me with pictures throughout the day. I really appreciate the wonderful care that they give , I would recommend as many people to book asap !!!”

Asya G.

“This was Remy’s first stay with Anays & Francis and she seemed to be immediately comfortable with them! I know she really enjoyed playing fetch in their fenced-in backyard. I’m so grateful for the amount of photos that I received during Remy’s 5 day stay. It was so comforting to be able to see how she was settling in. Would definitely recommend Anays & Francis to anyone who needs a sitter!!”

Brianna C.

“Mary and Norm welcomed Bambi in as part of the family and I could tell from the photos it took her no time at all to adjust to her new surroundings. She can't wait to stay with them again.”

Jessica S.

“My dog needed special care for a medical condition. Not only did Kathleen make sure he got his medications but she gave him lots of love, sent me daily pictures and updates, and introduced him to doggie friends that he loved. I would definitely have Kathleen care for my pet again.”

Barbara S.

“Francine is very professional, a true dog lover and immensely kind with every one and every special needs. I had my little one taken care for 4th July weekend in a very short notice Francine was very eased very much our meet and greet appointment at her place. I received plenty of photos and I was relaxed and very happy during my dog’s stay. I would definitely book her again!”

CARLOS M.

“Elisa is charming and knows about caring for older and smaller dogs. She immediately understood what my very old mini dachshund needs, and was patient and gentle. Elisa is equally great with people - very likable and trustworthy.”
