Dog Boarding in Shabbona, IL

“My puppy cried when she left so I know she enjoyed herself! She chewed through yet another harness and Jennifer replaced it. Very kind. Will definitely be seeing Jen again!”

“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my cat, Milo, in Caitlin's care. She was very kind and attentive, and I appreciated the regular updates/pictures that kept me informed and reassured.”

“Miriam and Terrell are the most kind people and will 200% love on your dog while you’re away!! ((So you don’t have to look any further at more profiles!!!!!)) Cooper our 20 month old Cavapoo stayed for a few days and it was our first time away. Not only did they update with photos and videos many times throughout the day but they sent home a report card letting me know how he ate and what he did. They really went above and beyond! Cooper didn’t want to play too much with the other dogs so Miriam had him cuddled by her desk throughout the day he was able to sleep with them at night. They truly love dogs and are some of the nicest people I’ve met!! Will always use them in the future !”

“Brian took care of my 6 month old puppy over Labor Day weekend. He sent pictures of her playing and going on walks. She was allowed to snuggle in bed and make herself at home. I would definitely use him in the future to care for our fur baby. Thank you Brian!”

“Peggy was wonderful to our little Oscar. She messaged multiple times a day as requested and sent pictures of the little guy. She also noticed him biting his paws due to allergies and alerted me right away. I was in an area with bad service and did not get the message right away so she went ahead and reached out to my vet and scheduled a time to go in because he had chewed his paw to the point where he was bleeding. By the time I found out she was already on top of it. She took him and brought him home with a cone and gave him medication as prescribed. She even followed up asking about him days later once we picked him up. You can just tell that Peggy is an animal lover. I will absolutely be booking Peggy again, i love the fact that she only takes one dog in at a time because you know the full attention is going to your animal. Thank you Peggy!”

“Lizzie was a perfect caretaker for our 7 year old golden doodle! She sent pictures, videos and communicated the perfect amount during our dog’s stay. We will booking with her again!”

“Dillon was great! I’ve never left my puppy before but he made sure to send me pictures and updates during my mini weekend trip. He let my Bo play with his dogs and took him for walks. He’s someone Id recommend to others and will definitely use him again.”

“Jill and her family are amazing!! This was the first time I used rover and Sammy had a blast. Jill is prompt and goes above and beyond. She sent updates and pictures. Sammy really enjoyed her stay and she cannot wait to visit again ?.”

“This was our second time working with Taylor, and she is nothing short of amazing. She is so welcoming and is great with our boys. There's a reason we are willing to drive over 30 minutes for our boys to stay with her. She has plenty of space, a fenced in yard, a wonderful personality, and shows every pup the love and care as if they are her own. That is something that cannot be beaten, and we will always reach out to her to care for our two furry sons.”

About: 🐾 Senior Dog Experience 🐾 Puppy Experience 🐾 Reactive Dog Experience 🐾 Anxious Dog Experience 🐾 Dog Coaching Experience Whether your dog is super anxious, super chill, extra bossy, extra playful, or just needs someone who truly gets it— I offer experienced and thoughtful care that adapts to their individual personality. From enrichment games to slow warm-ups, from athletic activity to assisted mobility, I meet your dog where they are physically— and support them emotionally. Great with high energy, nervous, and special need dogs, but I welcome all temperaments! You'll always get detailed notes and they’ll always get real connection— no guesswork, no missed meds, no rushed visits. Just reliable, behavior-savvy care for dogs and their big feelings. If your pup needs someone who truly understands them while you’re away, I’d love to help. My wife and I both work from home so my schedule is flexible. I’m happy to make your pet a priority and be consistent care you can count on. I can keep up with your dog’s home routines and provide playtime, walks, feedings and medication while you’re away. My home has a large, grassy yard with nature views and a lot of cozy places to rest inside. I never use crates unless asked to, and your dog will be treated like one of my own—spoiled, safe, and seen.

“What a wonderful time my Sasha had with Dominic! Would recommend him to ANY dog owner! I felt safe as my girl was attended to, walked, cuddled and kept in a safe fenced in yard! Going to bring my girl back again for our next trip!”

“Dana is an amazing sitter! She loved and treated our Blaikey like her own ?. She sent us pictures and updates every day about what/how Blaikey was doing. I absolutely love Dana and can’t wait to have her babysit again!!?❤️”

“Definitely 5 stars for Kathleen!!! She kept me informed with messages and photos on how they were doing, and even a video showing our dogs playing together. She was so caring and attentive to them, and I know they were very well taken care of. She kept them very active and had a lot of outside time in her nice fenced backyard. She also was agreeable to modifying our pickup time when I was running later than planned. I will use her again if I'm back in the area & highly encourage others to use her.”

“Susan was absolutely amazing with Paganini! 🐾 She has a big backyard where he got to run and play all day, and she took him on long, happy walks too. Throughout the day, she sent me tons of adorable photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Paganini came home happy, calm, and completely well-rested—a true sign he was loved and well cared for. She was also incredibly kind, communicative, and accommodating with our schedule, especially knowing we have a baby at home. On top of that, she made sure Paganini got his daily medication without any issues, which was such a relief. I honestly can’t recommend Susan enough—she treated Paganini like one of her own, and we feel so lucky to have found her!”

“It was our first time using Rover, and Norma & Kane made it a great one! They took care of my baby on a last minute notice and sent me photos and updates everyday. My baby was sad leaving his new found friends when I picked him up. Definitely gained my trust and will be my go-to people for my Blue every time we need the help :)”

Alyssa V.

“Where do I start.. Beyonka and her daughter where absolutely amazing with our boy Benjamin ❤️ Sending daily pictures for us to view while away really eased our minds knowing our dog was well taken care of. He exercised daily and even went for a car ride around town. Exceded my expectations and would highly recommend!! A million thanks, will be in touch for next time!”

Karen L.

“Mera and her family took such great care of my dog! He looked so happy and cared for in every photo and video. He is a good judge of character and when I dropped him off after the initial meet and greet, he practically dragged me to the door because he couldn't wait to see Mera and her boys.”

Jennifer T.

“Barbara and her family were wonderful. We left our elderly dog with them for just over two weeks. Barbara sent plenty of photos as well as updates on our dog's activity. She also has a nice big fenced back yard for our dog to play in. This is the first time we have used this service and we highly recommend Barbara. We will definitely use her again when we need to. Thanks Barbara for taking such great care of our dog!”
