Pet Boarding in Waukegan

“Julie is fantastic with dogs. She takes great care of Harlie, as if she were her own. Her sweet Pug Daisy is such a lovely companion for my dog. Such a great dog sitter!”

“What an angel Kim was to our family! It helped make our vacation that much more enjoyable knowing our big guy was being taken care of! She took such great care of our senior mastiff... for 9 days! Always replied promptly and provided us with picture updates! We are so happy & will be using Kim in the future! She was so flexible with keeping him an extra night! Thanks so much Kim!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Patricia. Sprocket stayed over for 4 days and everything was perfect. He was well looked after and we received updates throughout our vacation. If there were 6 stars, we would have given 6!”

“Usually Lucy comes back from any type of boarding situation sad and emaciated. There always seems to be a readjustment period as she gradually “forgives” us. Not so after her stay with Angela. She must have gotten all the love she needs (and she is a very needy dog when it comes to affection) because she was not all skin and bones and hasn’t been showing us the usual resentment. I will definitely be contacting Angela the next time I need to board Lucy!”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Na Rae & Barry! This was my first time ever leaving Sadie with someone else, and I was so nervous, but they made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. From the very start, they were kind, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable trusting them with my little girl. Sadie actually went into heat during her stay, and they didn’t bat an eye. They got her little diapers and gave her the extra care and attention she needed without making it feel like any trouble at all. I can’t tell you how much that meant to me as a pet parent. They also sent me regular updates and adorable photos throughout the week, which gave me such peace of mind. When I picked Sadie up, she was her same happy, energetic self—and I could tell she had been loved and treated like part of their family. Na Rae & Barry along with their kids, truly went above and beyond for Sadie. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with them again. Thank you both so much for taking such amazing care of my sweet girl!”

“So grateful for Tabitha! We booked with her on short notice, and she was extremely accommodating to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand. She made sure our Hazel felt comfortable with her before introducing her dogs (which they seemed to get along great!). During Hazel’s stay, Tabitha made sure to send updates letting us know that Hazel was enjoying her stay—both during playtime with her dogs and while Hazel had some alone time. We definitely recommend booking with Tabitha!”

About: ALWAYS AVAILABLE!!!! It may take me a day to get back to you, but if you want the best it is worth waiting for. Please, ONLY SERIOUS INQUIRES. If you are gonna hit up just anybody and put me on your list of 3 or 4 possible then just move along. Last minute is fine, but don't even ask me if you are asking more than one. This is not a game to me and I take it very seriously. I like to leave these few spots open for people who feel the same about their dogs. This is a professional business. Thanks I have been boarding dogs in MY home for over 20 years. I have 3 animal related degrees. Vet tech, groomer and obedience trainer. I have extensive training in nutrition as well. I have saved the life of many dogs over the decades. As a child I grew up on 10 acres with plenty of horses where we also bred Great Danes. I am double gated and double fenced inside and out for the safety of your pet. No children, also for the safety of your pet. All dogs are allowed on furniture and also have open cages with big comfy beds. I am here 24/7 as required by IL State law. Also required by law I have separate areas for various reasons if need be. I have always handled EVERY situation that has ever come about and believe me, you don't know what you don't know. So true. I want you to enjoy your vacation without a worry in the world. There is a separate dog refrigerator here so all your specialty foods are welcome. There are cameras all over outside and this place is locked up like Fort Knox, also for the safety of your pet!!! I am here 24/7 as required by law. Dogs go out approximately every 2 hours. Feedings are mostly twice a day. Some are 3. Any arrangements can be made for feeding. Feedings are mostly in separate cages and they all come out again after about 10 minutes. There is also a doggy treadmill. Double fenced double gated inside and out for the safety of your pet. Atomatic 911 service for emergency and 8 active cameras on the property with locked gate.

“Can not say enough positive things about Anita! She was great with our dog! She kept us updated throughout Louis stay with photos and text. We will definitely be re-booking Anita in the future!”

Peyton P.

“My dogs just love Deirdre she is the best sitter we've ever had. I would highly recommend her.!!! Even my older dog who is sometimes shy around strangers warm dried up to her, and my dogs felt completely at home at her place. She's fabulous.!!”

Teri D.

“No concerns about leaving pet with this nice family. Updates and photos were provided and he had a great time with them. Would definitely rebook!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I was so grateful that it was with Karina! She was extremely gracious and communicated daily. She sent videos and pictures of my sweet pup throughout the day. I was truly grateful for her care for my pup. I highly recommend!!!”

Shanale M.

“Monica is awesome with our Sky. She genuinely loves dogs and takes really special care to give ours the attention that she needs. The communication is great and she has been very flexible with our erratic schedules. We’re very happy to have met her and we feel very comforted knowing our Sky is in her good hands”

Ron H.

“Aidan and Sean were perfect hosts to Mr. Bojangles for ten days. We visited them before the actual stay. My dog seemed at ease immediately. Aidan was always available for communication and answered rapidly. She was thoughtful and detail-oriented. I felt comfortable leaving my dog there, even with him recovering from spinal surgery and needing restricted activity. I got regular photo updates and Aidan contacted me with whatever question came up, like when Mr. Bojangles was not eating a lot. They were flexible and accommodating for drop-off and pick-up. No complaints; would definitely use their services again!”

Lyssa G.

“The absolute best! Jordan cared for our Bowie and especially our Senior Lola with the utmost care and attention. He was amazing with both dogs and we will use him again without question.”

Tori M.

“Had a last minute cancel of my usually dog sitter but Lorena was quick to respond, she watches <40lb dogs which my GSP is just under but she took her for the weekend was was amazing. The pics she sent of Lina looked good and happy!”

William L.

“Sorry for the late review! I meant to write this earlier after Enzo stayed with Emily! He had a great time with her and her dogs! He was tired after we got him, so I know he had a lot of good play time. I love how she kept us updated with pictures while we were on our trip. It helped us feel a little at ease! ”

Marina H.

“Elena was fantastic with my dogs. Very attentive with her care and communication. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to a friend”

Noah P.

“Jessica was absolutely awesome! Jayar loved staying with her and her family! He was happy and in a safe house. We truly appreciate the care she gave to our fur baby! Highly recommend her!”

Alyn V.

“He was great with my puppy Chewie, sending us lots of updates and pictures.”

Georgina R.

“Shelby is so caring and attentive. She took such great care of Rosie! She sent me photos and I could see that Rosie was happy! I will definitely bring Rosie to stay at Shelby's again.”
