Dog Boarding in Crystal Lake

I am beyond thrilled with the exceptional care and attention my dog received from Carolyn! From the first meet-and-greet, it was clear that Carolyn is not only professional but also truly passionate about animals. She took the time to understand my dog's needs, quirks, and preferences, which immediately put me at ease. During the time I was away, Carolyn went above and beyond. I received daily updates, complete with adorable pictures, which reassured me that my dog was not only safe but happy and well-loved. It was clear that she took great joy in playing with, walking, and cuddling my dog, ensuring a fun and comfortable stay. What really stood out was the extra care taken to maintain my dog’s routine. Carolyn was diligent about feeding times, exercise, and any special instructions I had given, showing genuine dedication. I Would HIGHLY recommend Carolyn to anyone looking for a sitter.

We booked our dog Cooper last minute with Melynda for 1 night, and everything seemed to go well! Drop off and pick up was easy, and we stayed in touch on how Cooper was doing. Planning to use Melynda next time for a longer stay!

Natalie was AMAZING!!! She was so friendly and warm, very communicative and flexible - I felt very at ease knowing our pup was in her hands. We received several pics and videos every day of our Bear and her sweet Paisley playing and cuddling and enjoying walks. Bear seemed right at home in her care. Very happy we found her and we'll definitely use her services again!

Michele is warm, friendly, and truly caring. She took wonderful care of our senior dog and made us feel completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. She took him for walks and made him feel comfortable in her home. Communication was excellent — she sent regular photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Her lovely home has a fenced yard, giving our dog a safe place to relax and explore. We would absolutely trust her again!

Barb has been awesome! First she sat for my Weim and my daughter's terrier. This time, it was just our Weim. We had a last minute trip pop up and she was great saying she could do it. Barb is flexible on drop off and pick up times. Peach is blessed to have her home to be part of. I was sorry I didn't leave a review after the first time but just found out how to do this. Thank you, Barb, for making this experience flawless!

Shalyn & Joe were amazing! From the meet and greet to when I picked up my pup they were polite, knowledgeable and easy flowing. Their two girls and their pup Sadie kept my Rambo on his toes. He was so tired he got home, got in bed and started snoring like he pulled a 24-hour shift 🤣🤣🤣 You can tell Joe and Shalyn love dogs and your pups will be safe and taken care of with them and their family. Already rebooking 🙌🏽🙌🏽😇 Thank you guys 🫶

June ALWAYS takes such great care of our pups. She sends daily updates including pictures and they always come back very happy and relaxed! I feel like she treats them as part of her family. Highly recommend June:)

This review is sent with the deepest gratitude. Words truly can’t express how thankful I am for Danielle. She was absolutely amazing with my babies and treated them as if they were her own. From the moment I left, I felt complete peace knowing they were in loving, capable hands. Not only was Danielle attentive and patient, but she went above and beyond while babysitting my dogs—making sure they were comfortable, well cared for, and showered with affection. It’s rare to find someone you trust completely with your fur babies, and she exceeded every expectation. I am beyond grateful for her kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional care.

Cheryl and her husband were so kind and took great care of our dog. She sent photos and updates and I always felt reassured that our dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Cheryl for your pet sitting needs!

Dorothy was wonderful to work with. The communication was great and I was very comfortable leaving my dog in her care, I highly recommend her! I've had other sitters and it was normal for my dog to be stressed out and not eat food for a day or two. Much to my surprise, my dog ate normally right from the start which is a huge testament to how well Dorothy nurtured her and helped her relax.

Jessica was great with my dog Molly. She accommodated my dog's medical needs and was careful introducing my nervous dog to another client who was staying at the same time. She sent updates, which was very much appreciated. Thank you, Jessica!

There aren’t enough words to say how AMAZING Autumn is. We had a previous pet sitter fall through the night before my fiancé and I had to leave. We were scrambling to find kennels to accommodate us (especially when it’s Memorial Day weekend). Luckily, we found Autumn! She was very timely with replies, happy to help us out, and asked questions about our dog and her care that made me feel at ease. Autumn was very flexible with pick ups and has AMAZING communication. She had sent videos and pictures of our girl that helped this nervous dog mom stop being stressed out. I was just telling my fiancé “Will we get her back? She looks like she’s having too much fun to want to leave” 😂 Overall, I would recommend Autumn to anyone needing a sitter 1000%. We will definitely be asking for her help again!

Benni stayed with Elena while we were in Wisconsin. The minute we walked in for the meet and greet, Elena greeted us warmly with her toddler son. My mind was set at ease knowing this would and will be a great place for Benni to stay. Elena kept me updated with texts, pictures and even a video. Benni was definitely spoiled with all the love and care! I feel so Blessed to have found Elena and her son! We already booked Benni again and adding another one in the near future! Don’t hesitate to use Elena! Your dog will come home content and tired!

Alicia did a wonderful job again with Barkley! She takes him for walks and plays with him like he’s a part of the family. Great dog sitter for your furbaby 🥰 Thank you so much for taking such good care of him!

I recently had the pleasure of having Titan cared for by Carisa, and I couldn't be happier! First time using Rover, so was very nervous but From the moment I met her, it was clear that she had a genuine love for dogs. She took the time to understand Titan's personality, needs, and routine, which made me feel at ease leaving him in her care. Throughout his stay he had playtime with her beautiful family dog, which Titan absolutely loved! I received regular updates and adorable photos, showing how well he was doing, which really put my mind at rest. When I picked him up, Titan was happy and exhausted from all the fun he had. It was evident that he was well cared for and loved during his time away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our dog Titan.

Our dog Geddy had a wonderful time staying with Carla. He loved playing with the other dogs in their huge fenced in back yard. They made sure Geddy was comfortable at night and worked through his separation anxiety like a pro. We will definitely be bringing Geddy back for Carla to take care of him when we have to go out of town without him.

Oreo had a great time at Jackie's! She made sure to send us many photos and videos while we were away! Would definitely us her again in the future. Thank you!

Derek took great care of my dog. I received regular updates and pictures daily. It was great seeing my pup so happy when I was away! He got daily walks as well!

Rui had so much fun staying with Emily and her family! I got plenty of updates throughout the week too. I’m so thankful for Emily and the kindness she gave Rui throughout his stay.
