Pet Boarding in Villa Park

“Cheryl was courteous, honest, understanding and easy person to deal with. She took good care of our dog, provided updates and pics and we would go back to Cheryl for any of our future boarding needs.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily routine. From playful puppy stages to slower-paced senior dogs, I have experience in it all. Whether it’s feeding and walking or playtime and cuddles, I truly enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I also have two cats of my own that I absolutely spoil, so I understand how important it is to give pets plenty of attention, affection, and care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with someone nearby, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I start Physician Assistant school in the fall, so for now I have lots of free time and can dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. Because my schedule is open, I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. With the weather getting warmer, I’m especially happy to take dogs out for walks or spend time outdoors so they can get fresh air and exercise. My flexible routine allows me to make sure pets receive consistent care, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. I live in a clean, spacious apartment that provides a calm and comfortable environment for pets. My complex also has great outdoor spaces, including courtyards and a dog park, as well as safe walking areas, which makes it easy for dogs to get fresh air, exercise, and playtime. At home, I have two very loved cats who are used to a quiet, well-maintained environment. They are a big part of my life and help make our home feel warm and welcoming. I always prioritize slow, respectful introductions so every pet feels comfortable and safe in the space. Safety and routine are very important to me. I’m able to follow any specific care instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medication routines, or crate training if needed. My goal is to create a stress-free, secure environment where your pet feels relaxed and cared for while you’re away.

“Michelle was very professional despite my dog going through pretty heavy separation anxiety from me. Sadly I will not be using her again because I think my dog needs to be with more of a pack, but would recommend her to anyone who's looking for around the clock care of their precious furbaby. She was flexible, communicative and very polite.”

“Angelica is the nicest most sincere person I have met on Rover. It was my 2 dogs that were equally on a great vacation maybe even better than mine. The dogs have a ramp to their bed, other dogs to play with and a great environment to play and live. A+++. She also was extremely accommodating to our schedule and sent wonderful pictures. Will DEFINITELY use again.”

“Mary helped us feel at ease from the start. Day one of being with our dog, she sent us pictures that let us know our girl was in good hands and was happy. A pic and/or video came daily with a report on how she was doing. We feel at ease with Mary, and will definitely want to book with her again. Five stars for Mary!!”

Jodee E.

“We came back as a return customer and she was wonderful as always.”

Steven O.

“Anton and Amanda were wonderful with Griffy! He seemed to have a great time with them and their family! They sent pictures daily and updated me with how he was doing. They kept him safe and happy and were very easy to correspond with. Highly recommend!”

“This is the second time we have used Connie and we were happy yet again! Our dog was so excited to come in and be with Connie and Jojo at drop off. She sent pictures and kept in touch while we were away. Marco is blind, so I am sure he is extra work, but Connie has been amazing and we will use her again!! Thanks so much!!”

“Iris was great with my dog Chase. She sent pictures and updates while we were out of town, which I really appreciated. Communication was easy, and she answered all of my questions. Her kids and home made Chase feel comfortable, just like he was at home. Thank you again for taking such good care of him. I strongly recommend her!”

“My mother and I have been using Rover for a couple pf years now, but after we moved, we had to find a new person for boarding while we are out of state. Lynn happily welcomed us for a meet and greet, had our Leo for a “test” day as a Day Care, and watched him for three nights after that. We are very happy as she always replied to all the messages very quickly and sent updates. Leo did jot seem like he was worried as he stayed active after he got home. As an anxious little one, he would fall asleep in the car if he had a bad time. We are very grateful for such an amazing help and will definitely rebook whenever we travel again!”

“Jan is so loving and attentive. I’m going to book her a third time. She does more than most and goes above and beyond with your little fur baby. She loves animals and it shows. You never have to worry about your fur baby when they are in her care.”

Sarah V.

“This was the first time we left our dog and cat with anyone but family, and for this long. Myya took great care of them and she kept in communication and sent pictures and updates. This was over July 4th and our dog, Lana, has severe anxiety and requires medication. Myya handled it perfectly. We would use her again and highly recommend!”

Julie T.

“Bane came back exhausted, which is a great thing! He had a big yard to run in and was very well taken care of! We received updates and all of our questions were answered. Will be doing this again!”

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 16, and currently have two of my own. I dog sit for friends and family, volunteer at a local dog shelter and foster dogs from time to time. I’m very experienced with all types of dogs. I currently work from home full time and my partner also works from home full time. The pups will never be left alone for long, and will have my two dogs as company ☺️ I have a large fenced in yard with two small friendly dogs. I have also gated off a small section for of the yard for additional safety. I can crate a dog if needed, otherwise all are free to be on the furniture/bed etc. I live in a ranch, so if an elderly dog, no stairs as a hindrance. We have lots of toys and beds!

“Another worry free experience with Wayne. Extremely professional and organized. Daily photos and updates. Thanks again for this somewhat last minute booking- we appreciate it!!!”

Renee L.

“Courtney and her family saved us when we had a last minute family emergency from our usual sitter over the holidays! She sent photos and updates twice a day, and our dog had a wonderful stay.”

Erica A.

“Lyn and family took great care of my dog for the second time. They sent pics and videos of her playing fetch outside. They were super flexible with pickup and drop off times- I was grateful to know my dog was safe and happy while I was away.”

Dani M.

“Barb is the best! My dog was so happy being at Barb's house. She had other dogs to play with and came home exhausted! Barb is my go-to sitter!”

Brigid W.

“Elise did a great job watching our dog for a week while we were on vacation. She sent photos and let us know how he was doing. We felt very comfortable, knowing that he was in great hands. I’d definitely recommend having Elise watch your pet!”

Catherine L.

“My dog loved Eniya and family!! She sent me pics while I was on vacation. She has a son so my Dog(Bears) had someone to play with. I felt like my dog was on vacation too. My vacation was worry free thanks to Eniya! Eniya and family are good people I could tell! I will gladly use her again😍 Big thank you Eniya!”
