Dog Boarding in Highwood

Julie did an amazing job with Bella! She was very friendly and Bella loved both her and her other dogs. While I was away, she sent multiple updates and was always available. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Gvido and family took just excellent care of my girls. Really went above and beyond with walks and fun girls trips. So happy my girls received loving care in this beautiful home. Highly recommend!

Hannah was amazing while she watched our dog Winnie for several nights. She was flexible with scheduling and provided text updates and pictures. Winnie had a blast and came home tired from all her playing! We will be booking again soon!

This was my first time leaving my 13 week old puppy with someone else. So of course I was nervous. Thao and her family quickly engaged him, making him feel comfortable, happy, and excited. He was overjoyed to see me when I returned, but it was clear he would have been just fine continuing to hang out with them! A great first visit!

Nicole was so great! Bruno had a great time with her. We were away for a week and Nicole sent me updates and pics of Bruno the whole week. We were happy to see that he was so happy while we were away. Thank you so much Nicole!!

Amy was so wonderful with our labradoodle, Gatsby! She took him to the dog park daily which he absolutely LOVED!! He also become quick buddies with her sweet dog, Walter! We will 100% use Amy next time we go out of town!

I am so happy to have found Noor and her family! She was very thorough as far asking detailed questions on our meet and greet to ensure she had all the information needed to take care of our dogs and she immediately interacted with my pups and they warmed up to her right away which was something I was looking for on our initial meeting. Her family was very personable and kind. I immediately felt comfortable with them right away. She provided updates and pictures which I loved. I truly hope to book her again for our next vacation in the future!

Luciana was phenomenal. Excellent communication and sent videos every day of my trip. High recommend her.

Byron G. is a very kind person with a family and a warm home. He took excellent care of my Chihuahua; my dog stayed with him for three days, and during that time, he kept us informed about what our puppy was doing by sending photos and constant updates. He even managed to get him socializing with other puppies—something I hadn't seen before. I definitely recommend him.

Soojin has been the best person who has ever taken care of my dog Chewy! She sent me pictures every day and he thoroughly enjoyed staying with her! Highly recommend Soojin!

Abu enjoyed his stay with Naomi and Johann, we really appreciate the long walk they gave Abu and Abu came home happy and content, I will let Abu stay with them again next time!

Ari felt comfortable, cuddled with Janet and hung out with big dogs :) Janet and Michael held him during fireworks to make sure he is ok. Really appreciate it.

Our original dog sitter fell through two days before we needed to leave on a business trip and I decided to look on Rover.com to see if anyone matched my mine/my dogs' needs. I had reviewed other options, such as a family member coming in several times a day and local, larger dog boarding facilities and I just knew that neither of these situations was going to work for me or my dogs. We have a pair of 3 year old Shih-Tzu's who are used to being around me all day (including at work and at bedtime) and I wanted them to have more personal attention. I found Patricia on Rover.com and she was miraculously available on such short notice. After contacting her and then speaking with her, I felt I had found a home care provider where Max and Maizy could feel comfortable (and less lost and overwhelmed). I was initially nervous to leave them in a new and unfamiliar situation (especially without the usual meet and greet beforehand...due to the short booking notice). However, upon meeting with Patricia, I knew I had found a warm and relaxed person to care for our dogs. Her house was great, very dog centered and they were welcome to sniff everywhere and get acclimated right away. They stayed with her for 5 nights, and I'm positive they were happy to be with a dog loving individual in a home. I was so happy to see how comfortable they were in the photos she sent. I'm very relieved to have found an excellent dog sitter through this site. We will be using her again! I think it is really important to read the reviews, talk with the dog sitter, and then do a pre-stay meet and greet with the selected dog sitter. It's good to see the house set up in advance, and also observe how the sitter interacts with your dog. It is also very important to fill out the profile on your pet as completely as possible.

Ella was delightful and a real dog-lover. She works from home and does not have another pet, both of which were perfect for our very people-oriented small dog. She let the dog sleep in bed with her. Was very accommodating to our drop off and pick up schedule. Highly recommended.

Although our furry baby is no stranger to staying with Balaji & Sanna during work days, it was however, Penny’s very first boarding adventure & it went smoothly! Balaji and Sanna are truly amazing, per usual!! We had zero worries while Penny was with them. This just reconfirms the trust we have with them is irreplaceable!

Akemi and Kazu were amazing with your rescue, Chile. They kept us posted by sending pictures and videos. They took him for walks and played with him, and really, just spoiled him. We’ve already booked them again to watch Chile the next time we’re away. Thank you again, Akemi and Kazu!

Great job 👏 watching our furry friend.
