Dog Boarding in West Garfield Park, Chicago

“Emily was great watching Eleanor while I was out of town. She was a great communicator, was super flexible when I had to change plans, and I know Eleanor had a great time with her!”

“Diana and Scott were the perfect match for Kimi - who absolutely had a blast for the two weeks we were away. I was able to enjoy our trip knowing she was so well cared for, like Kimi was their own. Everyday updates, videos and photos made our extended absence manageable, and I will absolutely be booking them for future needs. You can be assured your fur babies will be in amazing hands. I’m so grateful.”

“Tilly stayed with Adam for a whole week and truly appreciated the services! I had some moving start and end times due to a last minute change to flying and Adam was very accommodating. She is happy to see him and makes me enjoy my trip much more knowing she seems very content and happy while I am away!”

“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”

“Ruben is ACE APPROVED! My spotted friend can have accidents in new environments or nervous pee. Nope nothing - he had all the potty breaks he needed and clearly was well cared for. Ruben’s place is the equivalent of the coveted middle school overnight gym sleepover except all the kids have four legs. Every tail wagger wants to go! Ace even kept staring at the front door when we left. That’s how you know he had a good time and made awesome friends.”

“It was a pleasure having tanqueray look after my baby Mya . She kept me updated with Mya and took such great care of Mya . Mya has never been away from home before so I was a bit iffy at first but tanqueray made me feel so much more calm and relaxed. Definitely will be booking with her next week”

“Per usual, Cocoa was in the best hands with Christina. She loves going over, so much so she dragged me there this time. I love all the updates and never have any second thoughts dropping her off with Christina!”

“Michelle and her family were super good with Penny. She was well taken care of and they were flexible with drop off and pick up. My dog was picky about eating her kibble and they sorted it so I didn’t worry. I will definitely use Michelle again!”

“Tomas is an amazing dog boarder! He took excellent care of my dog Bruno and made the entire experience stress-free. I received daily updates with pictures and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Bruno looked happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed his time. I truly appreciated the communication and attentiveness. I’ll definitely be using Tomas again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring boarder!”

“Iwona is my go to sitter for my Golden Retriever! My dog absolutely loves her and runs to her house when I drop her off. Iwona goes above and beyond with the service she provides - she has offered to pick up my dog rather than me having to drop off and she has always been extremely flexible with timing of the pick up. Best sitter!”

“Roscoe had a fantastic stay with Laura! She kept us updated throughout the weekend with photos and videos and responded to us quickly when we asked "How's he doing?" We definitely recommend Laura and will work with her again in the future.”

“It is not easy leaving the pup your family has fallen in love with a mere 10 weeks after adoption and at an age of just 4-1/2 months. But Luciano & Luciene (and their daughter) were a perfect solution for our family vacation. We did a practice "play date" which went great. During our vacation a/k/a Louie's summer camp, we got lots of photos showing the fun he was having. You should expect that your dog will be joined by another dog. Louie had two "camp mates" one at a time), which were happy for. He came home after a week in great shape. Highly recommended!”

“Barbara, thank you for always taking such good care of our senior Yorkie, Dallas. We can tell how comfortable he feels staying, with you and it means a lot to us.”

“Thankful to have met Susan & her grandson to help me care for my little kitty Church. This is the second time I've boarded him while I was away for my studies. I felt very comfortable leaving my little man knowing he was cared for as I care for him at home. Highly recommend to board ✨”
