“This is the second time Wolfie stayed with Kim while we visited Great Wolf Lodge. Although he is nervous and doesn't like strangers, he had an easy time warming up to Kim. She sent us many updates of them going on walks, enjoying her outdoor area, and (his lap dog favorite) keeping close while she worked. When he wouldn't eat his usual dog food, she prepared him special food (with our blessing). We always knew he was in excellent hands and will be back for another visit if we head to Great Wolf Lodge or Great America!”


“I just picked my dog up at Norma’s and I couldn’t be any happier!! Norma sent me several pictures and videos during the week and I could tell my dog was so happy and well cared for. I was relaxed during my week away knowing my dog was in good hands! Thank you again! ????”


“Jennifer was great with my fur baby. He’s a big, strong, hyper boy with an insane amount of energy and she handled him well. He had lots of fun. I got consistent updates throughout my trip which alleviated my worries so I could relax. I’ve booked her for some future trips and plan to continue using her!”


“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!”


“This was my first time using Rover and Chisato gave me the confidence I needed. She was amazing with King. He also enjoyed his time playing with toys and being a good boy on walks. I also really enjoyed receiving tons of videos and pictures of King while I was away. I’ll definitely book again with her in the future. ☺️”



“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!”



“Elvis was in great hands with Stella. He got along great with her dogs. I was never worried about him while on vacation. He had a brown 3 legged squeaky toy that was lost at the house. He must have had fun playing with it with the other dogs. No problem, he can get it back next time Elvis stays. I would highly suggest others to consider Stella. Great family and dog lovers. Thanks so much…”


“Outstanding caretaker, loves the dogs in her care and takes excellent care of mine for the week. I am so happy to have found her and completely confident she will provide the best care. Stays in touch, checks in to see how things were going while I was recovering from surgery. Thank you Kristal!”


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.

“We greatly appreciated Mary & Norman. This is our first time using Rover for our friendly and energetic husky. We liked how our husky was the only dog during his stay. We did a meet and greet with Mary and Norman and knew right away that they were the perfect place for our dog. They took our husky on 4-6 walks each day and he had so much fun. We were communicated daily with updates. We had zero worries or issues with the stay and with arranging times that mutually worked for us for drop off and pick up. We can’t wait for the next visit!”



“I would not entrust my fur baby to anyone else! She and her BF are so warm and communicative.... “Can’t wait for the next staycation”... Kensie”


“Absolutely awesome! They obviously love animals. My girls had a wonderful time visiting Francine and Bob. This was the first time I left them at a sitter’s house. They sent photos of my girls having fun. That put my mind at ease. I definitely will use them again!”


“It’s hard to find a good sitter and Tessa did an outstanding job. Thank you for taking good care of our babies. I know our puppy is a handful”



“Jennifer kept me up to date on how Winston was doing and sent me pictures. Winston looked like he was happy. Winston threw them a few curve balls and they handled them like pros. He seems to be missing Chewie today though. : ( Winston is going to spend time with them again in the near future. Most importantly is that we will not be worrying about Winston because we know he is in good hands. : )”


“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received from Koka she kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy and well taken care of, and it was clear that Koka provided lots of love and attention. We highly recommend their services and will definitely be booking with them again!”

Lynett S.
“I can’t recommend Lynett S. enough as a pet sitter and dog walker! She has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my pets. Lynett has watched, walked, and played with my Jack Russell terrier, Buddy, my Corgi, Stout, my Rat Terrier, Roo, my Border Collie, Gizmo, and my Pug, Harley. Every time I’ve had to leave town, I’ve been so at ease knowing that she’s looking after them. What's even more telling is how the dogs react when we pick them up—they’re always so happy and comfortable with her that they don’t even want to leave! Unlike other sitters, my dogs can’t wait to come back to Lynett’s care. It’s clear that she has a special connection with animals. Lynett’s love for animals extends beyond dogs—she’s also owned birds, fish, hamsters, and gerbils, so she’s experienced in caring for all types of pets. Her heart of gold, patience, and gentle nature make her an incredible choice for any pet parent. She’s responsible, caring, and trustworthy—any pet would be lucky to have her as their sitter!”
