Dog Boarding in Elgin

Let me say, prior to finding Geraldine I was very anxious to find the perfect sitter. Geraldine knocked it out of the park and has set the bar very high! I felt so much at ease on my week long trip that my 2 fur pups were in excellent hands. Geraldine provided pictures and updates on my 2 pups daily activities and anything else needed. Her whole family played a part in watching my 2 and I couldn’t have been more satisfied than I was. My 2 pups were happy as can be when we picked them up. I highly recommend Geraldine and I will definitely go back to her again.

Shadow was happy and frisky when I came to pick him up, and slept well that night so I know he had a good time and got some good exercise while he was at Saint's Alive. I look forward to boarding him there again in the future.

Michelle took great care of my Golden. Each day I received photos and an update from her. When my Golden was hit with a bit of nerves, Michelle handled it beautifully. I would recommend Michelle.

Jackie was a really good sitter for my little guy. She sent photos, videos, and kept me updated throughout my trip. She provides a a loving and fun environment for the pets she cares for. I felt my pet was on vacation too! Her doggies are very cute!

Katey was an amazing dog sitter for Kenzie! We had a great meet and greet that left me with a very good feeling about leaving Kenzie with her. Kenzie was able to stay in an environment that was most similar to home which was exactly what I was looking for with the added bonus of doggie friends! Katey sent updates and pics throughout her stay and was great with communication. I will definitely book with Katey again as I know Kenzie will have a great time!

Julie & Mark provided a caring home for our dogs while we traveled for 1 week during spring break. While we typically board our 7 year old dog, we didn’t feel good about boarding our 4 month old puppy. Rover proved to be a great alternative. Julie & Mark have a spacious and comfortable home, which they opened up to our dogs. Plus, they have a huge, fenced in backyard. They sent us daily updates with photos, so we stayed connected to our dogs while we were separated. Julie & Mark are warm and friendly. They seem to care for and genuinely enjoy the dogs they are watching. We feel lucky to have found Julie & Mark and will absolutely use them for future pet sitting needs.

Jorge and his family were so amazing with Jett! We felt extremely comfortable knowing he was in a home that embraced him and made the stay feel as if he were with family. He truly enjoyed him time and we look forward to booking with Jorge again!

June was really caring and kept us updated. Her concerns and affection towards dogs was apparent, and very accommodating ! Will book with June again. Thank you for watching our dog.!

Pepper had a great week with Leslie. She loved being with her while Leslie kept us up to date on the comings and goings of Pepper. Would 10/10 recommend anyone to use Leslie and would use her again for boarding.

Valentina always does a great job caring for our dog. He doesn’t handle separation all that well and she does a great job using common sense. She’s our go-to!

Super responsive from the start—quick replies and kept us totally relaxed. Ellie (who’s shy with new people) was clearly well-loved: patient care, exact feeding schedule, and she came home happy. Highly Recommended.

Elizabeth was a great dog sitter for our dog Betty! She is an anxious dog and shy to new people! Betty was comfortable and happy in Elizabeth’s quite home! I had peace of mind knowing she was safe and happy! Elizabeth did a great job communicating as well!

It was second time boarding. Ms. Kristin was flexible even it was short notice appointment. My dog enjoyed with the other dogs including Ms.Kristin’s her own dog.

OMG, cannot say enough great things about this experience. I was so nervous leaving my pups but Kimberly was like a second home for them, and loved them as I would. Highly recommend and definitely plan on using again!

Niratcha was amazing with Kiki, took a ton of pictures and videos as well. Let Kiki be herself and lounge but also play. Really impressed by the little touches like still taking her on walks and not just only letting her roam the backyard.

Lauryn did such a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were away! She sent photos and updates continuously and responded right away when we reached out. We know he was in great hands during his stay with Lauryn. We are very thankful!

Maricela was great with our pup! We received regular updates, generally a few times a day, with photos of their daily activities, which made being away from our little guy a little easier. She was very easy with drop off and pickup, quick to communicate and took great care of Hugo. Definitely recommend!

Cannot think of a more loving, kind and compassionate woman (caregiver for my baby dog), that I could have ever met! I am blessed by God that he has brought her into my family’s life!!!

Morgan (and Dan) were wonderful and took excellent care of our pup. They went above and beyond picking him up from training and handling his high energy! We will definitely contact Morgan again to care for Murphy!
