Dog Boarding in River Forest

Samantha and her family were the perfect place for our sweet Frankie. We just picked her up today and she looks so great and happy. Our family loved getting the photos and videos every day! Frankie stayed with Samantha for 9 days and I know she loved it! Especially running in the backyard and getting to know her new friend, Laika (Samantha’s dog!). We are so grateful! Thank you!!!

Our dog, Ruby had a great stay with Brendan! She was well taken care of and came home tired from playing with Brendan’s dog, Duke. Would love for Ruby to stay again.

Jennifer has been great! I totally trust her with my Sophie. She has a very nice and clean house with a fenced backyard. She really took time and efforts to take a very good care of Sophie. She walked her a few times a day and always sent me pictures! She is so pleasant and always reply my message very quickly. I truly appreacited her wonderful care. Defintely will ask her for help again.

Gerard was Amazing! I knew that Gordy was in good hands and was so glad he was in a home for Christmas… We will definitely be booking with Gerard in the future 😁

Kristen was fantastic with our little guy. It was the first time boarding him, she answered all our questions and kept us up to date. Great boarder!

Christopher is a friendly, relaxed & kind dog lover. My pup Carmellow didn't whine or look for my husband & I after we dropped him @ Christopher's home. There were a couple other well- tempered pups staying the weekend & Carmellow was pleased walked around comfortably enjoying the new pup chums. Thank Christopher for making your home & yard a welcoming, comfortable home away from home. Let's chat about our upcoming dates your services are needed. Thank You Again😊

Yelena was great with our pup! She made us feel so comfortable by sending us photos and videos all weekend. It was his first time with her and he was smiling in every photo! Her dog also makes a great play pal 🐶🐾

Amy is amazing! First time doing Rover and she made this a 10/10 experience. Very communicative and lots of pictures of Mr. Houston during his stay. Her and her little one kept him busy and he has been snoozing away all evening. Will definitely use Amy again 🤩

We couldn’t be more thrilled with the amazing care Alexis gave our Australian Shepherd, Dooley, while we were away for nine days. From the moment we booked with her, Alexis went above and beyond in every way. She stayed in constant contact, sending daily updates, sweet pictures, and thoughtful notes that gave us total peace of mind. This was our first Rover experience (we normally board him at the veterinarian office, but no availability). Dooley can be a little particular, but he clearly felt right at home and thrived under her care. Alexis kept his routine, made sure he got plenty of love and activity, and treated him like one of her own. She even made a personalized Father’s Day video from Dooley to my husband—such an incredibly thoughtful surprise that meant the world to us! Alexis is responsible, kind, communicative, and clearly a natural with animals. We are beyond pleased and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier pet care. Thank you, Alexis, for treating our boy like family! 💛🐶

Xena absolutely loved staying with Julie and her family. We got tons of pictures of her happy as could be throughout our trip, so we know she was well taken care of.

I booked with Kylie a week before my weekend trip and luckily she was able to accommodate. She sent an update with pictures which was appreciated. My dog seemed to enjoy her time there. I will definitely book again for my next trip

Shalissa is an amazing sitter! Her communication and accommodations have been amazing! We will definitely use her again! I had such peace of mind as she communicated updates with us!

Kevin was great. He was easy to work with and both responsive and proactive. I would not hesitate to use Kevin and Taylor again for overnights.

Earlie provided excellent service for our Coco Puff! She was patient and kind with Coco and even trained Coco to wait, which we hadn’t asked for, but really appreciated. She sent daily photos as well, letting us know that Coco was in the best hands. We are thankful for her service!

Ashley was amazing! She took great care of my cat and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind. She was also very understanding and accommodating when I had to make a last-minute change to my pickup time. I really appreciated her flexibility and communication. I would definitely recommend her and book with her again!

Our dog loves Kari & Clint’s house and we will continue to take him for day care and boarding! Recently I went into labor with our first child early and had some complications that required my husband’s 24/7 attention with me for a few days. Kari and Clint took our Reggie last minute and even allowed us to extend our stay a day with no extra cost. We are so thankful for their kindness and that we have a safe place for our sweet pup. THANK YOU!!

Chris did a great job with our little dog Alice! I knew she would be great from the meet and greet, as she really spent the time getting to know us and our dog. I felt completely comfortable leaving Alice with Chris! She took her for walks, and even got her to eat (she usually doesn’t away from home) with a secret trick :). I would definitely use Chris again!

Kristan was a wonderful host to our pup! She was welcoming and listened to all concerns we had regarding our dog. Kristan had great communication with daily updates and photos. She was accommodating to our finnicky pup and I knew they were well taken care of. We look forward to using Kristan again in a few weeks for a much longer trip.

First time boarding our 7-month-old puppy & he seemed so happy at Julie’s! He got to play with lots of human & doggy friends all week and I received tons of photos and updates. Julie was very flexible & accommodating with our travel plans shifting a bit on the way home. River came home smelling fresh & clean and seems so content after his vacation at Julie’s this week!

Benny had such a wonderful time with Rachel & Seth. They provided numerous updates and made sure Benny felt right at home. 10/10 would recommend!
