Guaranteed Pampered & Happy Pups!

Hi there! 🐾

First and foremost, we promise to love your fur baby like they’re our very own! My name is Jenny and my fiancé is Ilya. While we may be new to Rover, we’re definitely not new to caring for dogs. We’ve been proud fur parents for over 14 years and have had the joy of watching many pups for family and friends along the way. Dogs truly make our world go ‘round. 💛

We’re a dog-loving couple and parents to two sweet senior ladies, Sophie and Kindle (spoiled to perfection, of course, because they deserve the world!). Whether it’s daily pampering or spontaneous sniffing adventures, we love making our girls’ lives as joyful as possible. When your pup stays with us, they’ll receive that same level of love, attention, and tail-wagging fun.

🐶 What to expect with us:
• Cozy naps with fluffy beds/blankets and relaxing background music

• Extra snuggles and organic treats (with your permission!)

• Careful attention to your dog’s routine and preferences

• Plenty of outdoor adventures, weather permitting
• Clean paws after every walk 🧼🐾

• Fresh water always accesible

I’m Jenny, and I’m grateful to work with my family, which gives me a flexible, appointment-based schedule. I make it a priority to plan my week around our boarding calendar so every pup in our care receives plenty of love, attention, and quality time. During the week, our mornings and evenings are usually open, and between the two of us, there’s almost always someone home to keep an eye on the pups and take them outside for fresh air and play whenever the weather is nice. We do ask that any dogs staying with us feel comfortable being home alone for 4 to 5 hours at a time, just in case we need to step out for errands or provide pet taxi services.

My sister, Kara, also provides low-volume pet boarding in her home in Palatine with her partner, Ryan. They’re a wonderful team who work closely with us and help care for our clients’ pups whenever we’re unavailable, so your furry friend will always be in loving hands.

We have a fully fenced yard for safe off-leash play, as long as it isn’t too muddy. We do require a meet-and-greet before any in-home boarding, so we can get to know your pup and get to know their personality. We typically host M&G's in our yard, though, we’re happy to meet your pup at your home or a nearby park to get to know your furbaby better.

We also have playpens available if needed, plus extra beds. bowls, leashes, and harnesses for small to medium dogs. And of course, we’ve got endless love to give.

Our girls are house-trained, enjoy daily walks in the morning and evening, and eat like queens with only the best organic food and treats 🥦🐾. Your fur baby will fit right in with our happy little pack. Whether it’s walks, snuggles, or just hanging out on the couch together, your dog will be in great hands with us. We can’t wait to meet your furry family member and welcome them into our home! 🐕✨

What we'd like to know about your pup!

Please do let me know any ticks to your dogs (bite history, anxiety, food aggression, paw sensitivity, schedules, allergies, medication, etc.) as well so I can make sure I understand your dog fully and keep everyone safe. Note, I do not take in dogs with certain aggressions (food, toy, dog/human, nips when paws are being wiped, etc.). We will definitely do a meet-and-greet to make sure your dog is a good fit in our home prior to any commitments. Also, although I have extra dog items available for your dog to enjoy, to ensure the comfort of your dog, if you do choose to board with me, please provide items that will remind your furbaby of home/you (blanket, bed, toys, crate, etc.).
