Dog Boarding in Fox Lake

These past two and a half years I’ve been blessed to have Debbie and Tom look after my senior English Bulldog with special needs whenever I had to go out of town. It’s been a comfort to know that my Daisy gets lovingly looked after day and night while I’m away by such a caring couple. I’ve gotten daily photos and updates, and they even take my Daisy for her favorite car and stroller rides around the block! They are so patient too in following directions for her special diet and medications. I also love that they’ve made Daisy so comfortable with their own fur babies and now Daisy has a special friend in their cat! That was a shock to me given Daisy and her anxieties. She always comes back home to me with such a calmer demeanor, like Debbie and her family eased away her anxieties. Thank you so much for being so lovely to my Daisy! I’m so happy I found you two and a half years ago. You’ll continue to be Daisy’s home away from home. We are so grateful and lucky. 🐾 💕

Very kind, knowledgeable of understanding! Our dog is like a baby human to us so we didn’t know who to trust him with. But we finally found a place for our baby Justice and I highly recommend Stella G. for anyone else looking for a trustworthy place.

Kelli was fantastic. Very friendly and professional. Provided great care and experiences for my dog. Also sent updates and photos, which were very much appreciated. Easy flexibility with drop-off and pickup. Highly recommend.

Norma took great care of our 14-year-old labradoodle for 12 nights while we were out of town. The first few days I was anxious about how he was doing but she put my mind at ease with texts and pics in response to my queries. We will definitely be boarding him with Norma again in the future when the need arises!

Wow…. We can’t say enough about Kathleen she was fabulous. We even got some amazing photography of our fur babies. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you so much for everything.

Kim was a fantastic dog sitter for our pup, Boots. She kept us updated on all of her activities (via photos AND videos) and we could tell Boots had a great time and felt right at home. We would 100% recommend Kim and plan to use her again! Thank you, Kim!

Angela and Dave took excellent care of our little guy while we were away. They sent regular updates and pictures. We were very relieved to have our dog in such good care.

Jill was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we dropped of our husky we could tell he was in excellent hands with the amount of love and attention Jill gave to him. She is very responsive and goes over and above on caring for your pet - Togo even came back well brushed which is just another proof point to show how much Jill loves her job!

Kelsey is warm, friendly and welcoming to us and our pups. She kept us well informed with updates and pictures. It is clear that our dogs were happy and felt safe with her. We will not hesitate to book with her again.

Having never needed a dog sitter (family loves to take them), I was understandably wary. But Jacob had such great reviews and lived about 8 minutes from me - so I figured I'd meet him. First, he's lovely. Warm, empathetic, and so, so good with dogs. His home is gorgeous, and there are dog beds and toys everywhere. And it DOES NOT SMELL. I didn't know it at the time, but he only takes dogs of a certain size - little - so my two were not forced to defend their honor with big dogs. (I don't know about you, but my dogs could care less about little dogs - it's the big ones they want to take on.) Both of my dogs take medication, which wasn't an issue - and one of them is geriatric - blind, deaf and with vertigo. Jacob handled him better than I ever have. While I was gone, I got lots of pictures and videos, texts about the fun they were having - and unexpectedly, an interest in how I was doing. The texts/messages were just so, so heartfelt and special. I was gone for two days, and honestly, my dogs wanted to stay with him, I think. Finally, true story - before we decided to hire him, Jacob asked if my kids and I wanted to come over for a "meet and greet." We did, and obviously, decided he was perfect. We left feeling secure in our decision. As we were getting in the car, a couple with an older son who were walking their large dog across the street spoke to us. The woman said, "Is Jacob going to watch your dogs?" I told her that he was. She said, "they're very lucky. He's a hidden treasure." Selfishly, I want him to remain hidden. But he deserves to be found by as many people as possible. I can't thank him enough.

Diana is the best! Sable loves playing with her dogs and Diana keeps me informed of daily activities with texts and videos.

Melody was an excellent host! You can tell she truly loved our two dogs and she was awesome at sending pictures and updates. Melody took the dogs on walks and allowed them on couches and beds - she really opened her home to them. Thanks for making the dogs feel welcome and comfortable!

Our eleven year old girl received great TLC while w Cassandra! She sent updates and pictures at all the right times. She helped us in an extreme pinch. We were so grateful for all that she did. We look forward to seeing her again!

My little Mia was very cared for. Connie was fabulous! I received many pictures and funny video updates of my Mia's activities. It was very comforting to know that she was being cared for so lovingly. I very rarely leave her to go on a vacation and now I feel like I have somewhere that she will be safe and sound. Thank you Connie!!! You're the best!

Tommy & Julie took great care of our Buddy! They kept us updated with videos of him and he came home exhausted from all the fun at their house! Definitely would recommend them and will use them again!

Deanna was fantastic, kept up updated throughout the stay with pictures, etc I can tell Mochi was really well taken care of during her stay!

This was our first time leaving our puppy, and Elisa made the experience so easy. From the first meeting, we could really tell how much Elisa enjoys dogs and how knowledgeable she is. We especially appreciated her care not just for her physical care but emotional well being. When she noticed that our puppy was not eating well the first night, she took extra care to boil her some chicken. Elisa kept us updated with photos throughout her stay.

Elizabeth provided GREAT overnight care for Kali during our 10 day vacation. Kali had lots of R & R. Elizabeth sent great photos of playtime and sleeping on the couch with friends which was so reassuring for her dog parents. And Kali came home clean, soft and smelling great. We will be back for daycare/overnight visits.

Deanne was wonderful! Lucy came home content and not nearly as clingy as I was expecting (as she has been after we've left her for a few days in the past). I can tell she was really well taken care of, and we will definitely be taking her back in the future when we go on our next vacation!
