Dog Boarding in Bartonville, IL

“Melissa took amazing care of my dog, ensuring he had plenty of exercise, play time, and snuggles during his weekend stay. Her place is set up perfectly for hosting pets, and she is very warm and knowledgeable. I received frequent updates throughout my dog's stay. I would not hesitate to work with Melissa again!”

About: In addition to living with a dog and 5 cats over the last 20 years, I've also fostered more than 60 pets from an animal shelter and two rescues. I've handled cats and dogs of all ages and with various behaviors and health conditions. I love cats and dogs equally, and as my household currently does not include a dog, I get so much joy from caring for the canine family members of others! I am an active person who walks several miles daily and I would love to have your furry family member along when I go out on a walk, to get some exercise, socialize, and enjoy the outdoor environment. I have a flexible schedule and am prepared to meet varying needs for walks, play, feeding, meds, and grooming of your wonderful furry family members. I have a fenced yard and currently indoor cats only. I can transport your dog(s) for walks and exercise or grooming care, or come to your home for play and exercise in your yard or home. Shy, older, and young pets are all safe and loved with me. I am experienced with very shy and nervous animals and also with energetic, young ones. I am willing to work with pets who need some guidance on heeling, walking on a leash, and some basic commands. Under no circumstances do I use verbal or physical punishment on any animal, only positive reinforcement and encouragement.

“Lola is awesome! This was the first time I’ve left my dog to go on vacation and she cared for my dog like my dog was her own. She updated me daily with pictures and videos. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her loving animals and loving family. I will definitely be using her again!! Thanks for loving my Luna while I was away!! I appreciate you so much!”

“I have been using Leslee as a sitter for the past year. She has been consistently excellent with her communication, responsiveness, and flexibility. She always made things worry free when I was out of town. My dog Leon gets excited every time we drive into her neighborhood! I would highly recommend Leslee as a sitter!”

“Kristine was so great with Mac. He had such a great visit getting all the love and attention he would get at home with us. I’d trust Kristine with my animals anytime and I’m sure Mac can’t wait to come visit again!”

“Theresa and family were absolutely amazing from start to finish! She took on our three dogs for eight nights, and made us so comfortable with daily pictures and updates. We had never used a dog sitter before, and we’re nervous about sending our fur babies to a strangers home, but that all subsided as soon as we met Teresa and her wonderful family, I am not sure that the dogs wanted to come home !! I will definitely use Theresa in the future, she will always be the first person we call with our pet sitting needs. If I could give her 10 stars I would.!”

“Stephanie was absolutely amazing. She sent numerous pictures of our dog during our vacation, reported in on how he was doing frequently, and treated him like one of her own. We are definitely going to her next time we have to leave Luca behind. I 100% recommend Stephanie.”

“Amber did an excellent job boarding my small senior shih tzu. He sometimes gets too stressed to eat when away from home, but he ate his normal meals in her care. I could tell from his body language in the photo and video updates that he was comfortable and even enjoying his stay. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Walter is a huge animal lover, and goes above and beyond in his care for furry friends! Capable, responsible, and trustworthy, if you’re looking for peace of mind knowing your pet is getting the care and attention they deserve, Walter is your man!”

“Holly was absolutely wonderful! My doggo warmed up to her and her family so quick and he almost didn’t want to leave! She took excellent care of him while I was away. She sent many pictures and videos over the weekend, and he really enjoyed his time staying with her! I would recommend holly 100%. I’ll definitely be keeping in touch to have her watch my doggo again!”

“Ashley and Eric took great care of our puppy Bella at their home while we were away! This was around July 4th - so they had the task of guiding Bella through her first fireworks experience. They rose to the challenge and thankfully so did Bella! I would highly recommend Ashley if you're looking for a sitter :).”

“I brought two dogs to stay for a night, and Alyssa was great with them! She was very accommodating, keeping them in a space together, which was great. She also sent pictures and told me how it was going, which is always comforting. And they were given a parting treat on their way out! Good experience overall ?”
