Dog Boarding in Island Lake

Katie was great with our Lucy. We were very nervous about leaving her for a week while we were on vacation, but she sent us photos every day and updates on how she was doing, and that gave us the confidence that our dog was doing great. We would definitely recommend her to anyone. She even trimmed our dogs nails for us, something we don't feel very confident about doing. Lucy got to play with the other dogs that were there, and I think she enjoyed that.

My dogs came back tired and happy after their stay with Carisa and Hazel! She was extremely accommodating of my flight schedule and I can tell the puppies enjoyed their stay!

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.

June was FANTASTIC! She communicated with us daily. Provided a safe and loving home for our 2 schnauzers with a fenced in backyard and a long walk each day! They were allowed to snuggle in doggie beds or on a blanket on the sofa with lots of belly rubs.

Carolyn did a great job caring for our dog. He was well cared for and exercised. He always seems happy to be with Carolyn. I highly recommend her to care for your pets!

We were pretty nervous about leaving Max for 2 weeks but were immediately comforted when Max met Dickson and his family. They seemed to be very excited to have Max come and stay with them and I could tell it was going to be a great fit. I also really appreciated the flexible pickup/dropoff times. We will definitely be booking again with Dickson soon!

Stella is an absolute angel! While my pup was in her care she was awesome about sending photos and updates about his stay! So excited to have have her watch my pup!

Debbie and Tom took the best care of our dog while we vacationed for 10 days. They were responsive and communicative with daily updates and cute pictures. It was so reassuring to know she was so well taken care of and had her own “doggie vacation” while we were away.

Melody was an absolute godsend. After a dog fight upended all our plans for a complicated vacation/family funeral/international move, melody was able to help us with our independent doggo. We loved all her updates and our pup returned happy and healthy.

Angela has watched our two dogs on a few occasions so far. We receive updates on how they’re doing and know they are in good hands. When they come home, they sleep for two days from having so much fun! We will continue to bring our babies to stay at Angela’s house in the future! ?

Carla was absolutely wonderful with my pups. I have one that is very calm and one that is full Golden and then some - she kept them so busy and entertained and I was able to see all of it with the many pictures and videos she sent. I will definitely use her again!!!!

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.

Natalia was outstanding! Took such great care of my dog, ensuring he was well-fed, well-loved and well-walked, going above and beyond the whole way. I would rebook with Natalia anytime!

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!

This was our first time boarding our two dogs with Christine and we are so happy to have found her! She took such good care of our boys, especially our older dog who has anxiety and doesn’t like traditional kennels. We’ll definitely book with her again for our next trip.

We feel very lucky to have Kim taking fabulous care of our Boxer Mix Lola. Lola, found everything she needed and perhaps a little extra attention during her stay. I am sure, she didn't miss our on anything to make her happy! Thanks again and I bet Lola is looking forward to staying over again some other time!

Jessica took such great care of our dogs. Jessica was very communicative and sent lots of pics of our dogs having fun while we were away. I would definitely reach out to her first the next time we had to be out of town.

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 🫶
