Dog Sitters in Lemont, IL

What can I say about Peace, Love, & Happy Pets, LLC. Outstanding customer service, a commitment to our pets. The moment you walk in the door, you feel like you are in the right place. The staff takes care of the dogs and show a true love for what they do. I recently went on vacation and was out of town for six days. I was a little nervous seeing this is the first time I was leaving my best friend with somebody else but I can say with confidence I’m truly happy with my decision, Rocket is a handful and a ball of energy but in the best way but I know he can be a lot at times, the staff was amazing with him and he was well cared for and very happy. I was sent multiple photos and updates daily while I was gone via text. So I know how he was was all day. Great attention to detail!! Sometimes I think he didn’t even miss us. 😝 All jokes aside I definitely recommend Peace, Love, & Happy pets !!

I truly can’t say enough good things!! We use PL & HP for boarding, daycare, and grooming. Our girl absolutely LOVES it here!!! We were nervous to try, but it turns out there was absolutely no reason to be. She’s thrilled every time I put her leash on because she now associates it with here! Her fave place with all her friends! They send frequent updates and pics so you never have to worry about how your little love is doing! I feel fully confident leaving her here and it makes my heart so happy to know she’s having such a great time, and that I can SEE it by the pics they send throughout the day. Please do yourself and your pets a favor and bring them here! Love love love!!!!

I sold my home and was moving to a new house. The deal for new house fell through. Vanessa and her team was able to give my two sheepdog children a wonderful place to stay, for over a month while I looked for a home. My Babies loved it at Peace, Love, and Happy Pets. They made many, many friends and were healthy and happy running free on the grounds. I am so grateful to You All!!! Thank you. Liza O.

By far the best and most amazing place you can take your dog to for doggie daycare and boarding! This is a cage free place. Absolutely genius! Peace, love, and happiness is exactly how your dog will feel being here. You receive frequent daily photos of your doggie and these dogs are totally having fun here! They get to relax, enjoy other doggies company, and the owners go above and beyond. Highly recommend!!!!! Thank you!

I use PL&HP for daycare, boarding, and grooming. The staff is wonderful! They send pictures of your dog throughout the day, so you can see how much fun they're having. The facility is set up like a home, so it's very warm, friendly, and welcoming. My nine month old puppy always has a great time and comes home tired. I'm so happy she can develop her social skills and play with other dogs/people during the day while my husband and I are at work. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you so much, Vanessa, John, and staff!

I have been to several different boarders and Peace, Love and Happy Pets are the best!!! They really love the dogs, take great care of them and my dog jumps out of the car every time to go! The place is super clean and well maintained and has a great option for outdoor and indoor play! They also offer grooming services which is very convenient and the prices are good!

This place is awesome and my golden retriever could not agree more! Vanessa and her team are taking well care of our pups and the service such as sending me the pics during my pup’s staying there is great! Now it has got grooming service, which is excellent! I highly recommend Peace, Love & Happy pets!

I absolutely love this place and how they take care of my puppa. I was so nervous to put him in daycare because of previous bad experiences. He loves going there with his other dog friends. He gets plenty of playtime and they also do grooming and boarding. I’ve done it all and have been happy with every service. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with him.

This is an awesome place for daycare, boarding and now they have grooming so it’s great to have everything in one place. My dog loves going and runs to the door when we arrive. They treat my dog like their own so I don’t worry when I leave him there because I know he’s well taken care of. They send numerous pictures throughout the day showing him having fun with his friends. The atmosphere is colorful, homey and clean. I highly recommend.

We've taken our 11 month old standard goldendoodle to Peace, Love, Happy Pets a few times for doggie daycare, boarding, and grooming and have had a wonderful experience. Vaccination records are required and they do a tempermant test and slowly integrate your dog into the group. Vanessa sends pictures and updates throughout the stay so you know how your fur baby is doing. The first two are pics Vanessa sent me along with updates, and the third one is of my pup passed out at home after a fun stay and lots of play! He had a blast! The next morning he sat by the back door waiting to go back.

Mary is the sweetest lady who deeply cares for the welfare of all animals in her care. We were introduced to Katering Kennels over 20 years ago. I highly recommend and trust her!

Marry, she is always so sweet and very loving for our 3 dogs, great places for your pets, and a friendly environment. Thank you so much, Mary, for taking great care of our pets

Absolutely love this place! We know are dog is in great hands with Mary. Always accommodating and so pleasant to work with. Thank you for all the times you took such great care of our animals.

Friendly staff, my dog feels there wonderful, she return ther every time I have to travel and she recognizes her area. Dogs have their own private areas both inside and outside.

The employees there are very friendly and sweet with the dogs. But every time we comeback to pick up our dogs, they've either gained or lost a noticeable amount of weight. It is concerning how much and how often they feed my boys, but atleast they have food in their bowls, a roof over their heads, and people that are patient enough to take care of them and that's what I care the most about.

Wonderful experience. Had to board my Shorkie for over a week. First time ever boarding my Shorkie. Already knew my baby was going to be in good hands. Family owned business for years. One particular family member (Mary) I have known for years. Making her own dog food, rescuing animals and always kind and extremely knowledgeable. Perfect pet sitter. I strongly recommend Katering Kennels. So does my Shorkie.

We have used Katering Kennels for 20+ years. Mary, Joey and the Carters are wonderful and we trust them with our dogs implicitly. Can't say enough good things.

Very friendly staff. My dog loves it. Indoor and outdoor room for every dog. No need to worry if dog gets walked. Very Great price.

Highly highly recommend...very nice people..makes your pet feel like they are at home. Definitely will be back and refer people to....

We've been long term customers of both boarding and Christine's expert grooming services. We recomend them highly.

Nora’s Pet Sitting Service is amazing. We have been using the service since 2010 and there are not enough good things to say about it. Nora is fantastic. She is very flexible, knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating. The best thing is that our dogs absolutely LOVE her. They are so happy when they see her. We are always asking her advice about the dogs or asking her to look at some lump or scratch on them. She is always willing to help. I am one of those crazy dog owners that is always worried about our dogs when we’re not with them. But we have such peace of mind when we’re gone for hours on end that they are being taken care of by someone who loves them as much as we do. Nora is wonderful and we would highly recommend her service!

I have using Nora's Pet Sitting Service for over 10 years. She has provided and continues to provide fantastic service for me and my dogs. I work downtown, so I have a very long day. I need someone who I can rely on to give my dogs a mid-day break. I learned about Nora from the staff at my vet's office. Nora is a Veterinary Technician, which made me feel really comfortable starting to use her services in the first place. I not only have my own dogs, but I also foster dogs and dog sit for friends. So I have multiple varied requirements for a dog sitter. Nora has always been willing to help out with any situation I've had ... even when it was managing 5 dogs (my 2 and 3 guests). Nora has also provided very flexible service, not only during regular work days, but also on evenings and weekends. I have a time of year that I need to be out fairly regularly on Friday all day and through the evening. Nora has always accommodated this, and comes once during the day and once in the evening on those days. She is very reliable and organized about her schedule. If anything unusual is happening, she always lets me know in plenty of time. If I need additional help, or to change a time or day when she comes, she always accommodates this as much as her schedule allows. And when she says she’ll come, she does. Nora’s ability to deal with any medical issues my dogs have is another really strong point. She is able to administer medications and watch for issues when something is not working with my dogs’ health. All this, and my dogs just love her! I highly recommend Nora’s Pet Sitting Service.

When we go out of town and leave our precious little fur babies (our two bichons) with Nora, I know they are getting the upmost care! She truly believes in caring, safety and security for Animals and your home. I never felt more safe to not only leave my puppies in the hands of her but my home as well. Nothing but the best!

I have known Nora for many years and she is one of the best pet sitters around. Very experienced, trustworthy and knowledgeable.

My husband and I haven’t taken a vacation in over a year simply because we were scared to find a new dog sitter after our move. We have two big dogs with a lot of energy, and one of them has health needs. While we were gone, Janice sent pictures and updates. Our dogs looked happy and like they were on their own vacation. The yard is fenced in and looks like a dog park. We will absolutely continue to use them and now can feel comfortable if/when we go out of town.

I have to say, the Owner of this company was just amazing. Taking and sending us great pictures of our doggos daily. She also was very strict with one of our dogs cones and when we picked her up today, her paw was better than we do at home. The owner also kept us up to date on how they were doing throughout the entire stay. I will definitely be using this company in the future. No worries when I have our doggos staying here. If you're not sure, I would say try this company, they far exceeded my expectations.

It's hard to put a price on feeling that's your pets are safe and secure while you travel or while you are at work. If you could though it would be far less then we spend with Janice knowing our pet is with someone that cares about them and provides a safe and fun environment. You have to love leaving your dog off and having them shake fearfully in the car but be wagging and happy when they see where you drove them. Everything about working with Janice is friendly, comfortable, and at times self-sacrificing for you and your pet. We are lucky to have her to care for our animals.

Always takes great care of our dog, and sends photos of him while we're out so we know he's okay. The owner is great to talk to and responsive over the phone, so it's easy to set up appointments. Prices are extremely reasonable, too.

My dogs, Buster & Whoopie, love their time at Wood's Wags and Wiggles! Janice obviously loves dogs and is very friendly. I especially love when she sends us pictures of our dogs having a good time!

Woods Wags and Wiggles did a cat-sit service for 1 week while i was out for a wedding in Mexico ... Upon my return i came home to a happy and well taken care of cat. Overall very very happy with the service!

Janice, the owner, is amazing with dogs. This is a fantastic place. I strongly recommend them.

My dog got diabetes 😔😔 …

Count yourself lucky if you can Lara to care for your pet! She goes above and beyond for our dog and our family on a regular basis. She is flexible and reliable and is extremely knowledgeable about dogs. Her advice alone has saved us from multiple vet visits. We have a crazy family schedule and I love knowing that my dog is well cared for and she even noticed a water leak before we did! Our dog loves her as much we do!

Lara is amazingly attentive and very caring. I never thought I would find a sitter who cares for my dogs as much as we do - but I did! Lara has helped our family through many last minute crisis and vacations are possible now because we can go away knowing our home and very spoiled fur-babies are well taken care of. Very highly recommend her services - don't waste your time, go with the best.

Lara is the best! She not only takes great care of our dogs year round, but we just had her take care of them while we were on vacation and couldn’t have been happier. We forgot to leave one of the dog’s special food that he needs for a medical issue and she tracked it down and picked it up for him. He never even missed a meal! She is always completely reliable and goes the extra mile for the animals she cares for. She cares for a few other pets in our neighborhood as well and everyone loves her.

Lara has always been wonderful when caring for our dogs. She truly treats them as though they are her own and we know they are super safe and having fun when she’s coming! She’s a true professional.

My wife and I have two dogs. One is a rescue and we have had trouble finding dog walkers that would work with him. Lara embraced both of our dogs instantly and has taken wonderful care of them. In addition to regular walks, she also provides us with valuable insights on how they are doing during the day as well as suggestions to help them cope with their anxiety. We could not be happier with her service!

Lara has saved me several times! I've had emergency vet visits where she was able to transport my dog on very short notice. Even though I didn't ask, she has provided food samples when a senior dog wouldn't eat, knows all the vets in the area and is very knowledgeable. She has also done overnight stays at my house when I traveled for business where my animals are pampered beyond belief! I've known her and used the service for many years, and she ALWAYS comes through, going above and beyond the call!!

Many wonderful experiences with A Walk in the Park. Lara goes above the call of duty while our fur babies were in her care! Since moving we are unable to find someone we can truly trust to care for our dog! No doubt the best care taker ever!

Lara goes above and beyond to make sure that your pets are in excellent care. It's worthwhile to have an expert versus a hobbyist when it comes to your furry family members - she's the best!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Lara and her family are. They took wonderful care of my dogs while I was on vaction. I highly recommend their services!!!!!

My 3 year old Shiba has been going for Playdates for over a year and it is her favorite day of the week every week! Nothing better than a happy tired puppy after a playdate with Chris!

Chris watched our golden and my son's cat in the past. We rescued a black lab in November 2022 after our golden passed away. Oakley is more than a handful - very skittish, was never socialized - the typical COVID dog. We took her to stay with Chris while we were on vacation for 11 days and she came home a completely different dog! She was socialized with different dogs and was able to see how "dogs should be". She is now sure of herself, not nearly as skittish and is so much happier. I cannot say enough great things about the care and attention Chris gives each and every one of the dogs she cares for. Definitely a 5 STAR company! Thank you Chris for going above and beyond for our girl!

Chris has taken care of our big fella (a Borzoi) multiple times and we always know that he is safe with her. He has a great time playing with her pups and hanging out with their kitty. Chris is so good with dogs and totally understands our guy's personality and needs. We also had Tracy come over and care for our kitties and she was awesome, too! Thanks so much, Chris and Tracy, for all the loving care you give our babies!

When we moved from Minnesota 3 years ago, we were looking for someone to take of our dog Brody. We didn’t know anyone in the area, so we took a chance on Chris. Best decision ever! Chris took great care of Brody and we never worried about him when we were away. She is courteous, flexible, and dedicated to providing excellent service. Chris truly cares about the animals she takes care of. I wish there were more people who cared about their business as much as Chris does.

My wife and I have had Chris cat sit for us for the last five years anytime we go away for more than a day or two. She's always been very dependable and quick to respond. She really does it all - plays with the cats, feeds them, and takes care of the litter. She also sends us photos during her visits, which we look forward to. We'd definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a fantastic pet sitter.

Our dog is skittish around most people, but she loves Chris! Chris always takes great care of her. On our travels, it's nice to receive Chris's daily text message updates, complete with pictures of our dog enjoying playtime.

We absolutely love Tracy! She is so incredibly reliable and she is totally in love with our pups! And they love her right back! I think they don't like when we come home honestly because she loves on them so much. We also had a 20 year old cat until he passed in March of this year, and he was high maintenance with food and medication! She was wonderful with him, as was Gale, another of the folks that work there. When he passed away they sent me a sympathy card and it meant so much to me to know he was so loved. Cannot recommend them enough!

Chris has been a lifesaver! When we got our Australian cattle dog he had so much energy! Chris picks him up multiple times a week and takes him to her large yard and he plays with his buddies and comes back exhausted. He gets so excited when he hears her calling his name. Highly recommend!

I had a very old dog and Chris and her ladies were wonderful walking, feeding and playing with him. He required some special needs and they were always able to meet. When we get our new dog Chris will be the first person I call for a play date with other dogs. Love ya guys!

Chris has watched our pets several times and will continue watching our pets since she has done an excellent job and has been dependable every time. My cats have been well cared for happy when I get home. It certainly puts me at ease knowing that they are in good hands and with someone experienced while watching them especially since one of my cats is elderly and has a special food diet and requires extra care. Thanks Chris!

Loving service from reliable people

I boarded my two dogs Salvitore and Jake. They felt like it was thier second. Home. My dogs are like a part of my family. Izzy is the only person I would trust to board them with love and care. I know she take care of them great because they are excited to to stay when ever I have travel.

"Izzy did an amazing job watching my two dogs, Led and Zeppelin, for a week. They can be a handful, but she handled them with such care and attention. She made sure they were well-fed, got plenty of exercise, and were comfortable the entire time. I received regular updates, which put my mind at ease, and it was clear they were in great hands. I could tell my dogs loved her when I picked them up—they were happy and calm. I highly recommend Izzy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Izzy, for taking such great care of my rock stars

Izzy has been taking care of my 2 dogs for over 5 years. She has become their second home and the only one we trust leaving them with. She is excellent at getting all of their energy out with lots of walks and fetch. I know they are well loved when they are with her.

Fantastic boarding experience for my energetic pup! He was loved and so well cared for. Simply the best option for when I travel! Highly recommend!

Izzy is so amazing with dogs. Very reliable, on time, communicative and attention to details. W.O.W

K9 Couture is the ONLY place I trust to take care of our 3 dogs. The owners are fantastic and so flexible, even when I messed up our dates, they were able to accommodate us. I love that my 3 stooges can be together at night and have a huge, outdoor play area to run around in. We get pictures and videos while we’re gone which is huge peace of mind. They are local to the community and have a great, trustworthy reputation. Highly recommend!! ❤️🐶🐶🐶

Before we pull in the drive our pup starts wagging with excitement. He loves K-9 Couture! With other places his head was down and tail between legs, all the wrong body language. They took some time and got to know him and his needs, have loads of room to run and play, and they are very good about sorting the dogs by size/temperment. We've used them for various lengths of time - day trips, long weekends, and longer vacations. Have recommended them to family & friends.

We boarded our dog for a long weekend while we were out of town recently and felt so comfortable leaving her in the hands of K9 Couture! She had so much fun and played with other dogs, which we loved! The owner was responsive and replied to our texts with updates along with a picture of our pup! We will use K9 Couture for all our future boarding needs!! Kacey can't wait to come back :) Thank you again!

My husband and I absolutely love and trust K-9! Our sweet girl, Luna, gets so excited to come here for both day care and boarding. We are very lucky to have found this place! Nothing but the best care!

Anytime we go on vacation we feel comfortable leaving our dog, Spike with K9 Couture. Mike and Gabby take great care of him. It’s a wonderful, clean and fun place for our fur baby. They even send us pictures so that we can see him playing with his friends. We highly recommend it!!!

First time boarding our little puppy, and very impressed/relieved. The owner asked a lot of questions to make sure our puppy’s needs were met. I also love how much space there is for the dogs to run around and play. We will be back for sure.

Love k9 boarding. I have two dogs who have the best time there and come home happy and exhausted from all the play!! I wouldn’t take them anywhere else.

I am always so pleased with the professionalism and cleanliness of my experience. I never have any concerns about boarding my dogs with them!

Very friendly and accommodating staff helping to trim my dogs nails especially for the energy of my dog at very reasonable prices

Gizmo going to the beauty shop

Our two pups had a great time at Small Paws Pet Care over the Thanksgiving holiday. During the week, Gina sent us texts with pictures and videos of the dogs playing. Her large fenced-in backyard is a perfect place for dogs to sniff, meander, and run and play with each other. During our initial meet-and-greet, Gina asked thoughtful questions, e.g., are your dogs scared by anything, are they on any medications, may they have a bite of turkey on Thanksgiving? At that point, I knew the pups were in good hands. The next time we leave town or need pet daycare, we will call on Small Paws. Thank you, Gina!

We have used Small Paws for a few years now. Gina is so loving to the dogs, and takes care of each pet to the owner’s specifications. There is a large fenced in back yard for the dogs to play. I have loved this service. I would recommend it to anyone!

I could not have asked for nicer place or a more wonderful person than Georgina and Small Paws Pet Care to board and take care of my 11 year old rescue Chihuahua, Taco Bella. Her whole life and spirit goes into the love of dogs and especially talking with me about all the little details and peculiarities, habits, likes, dislikes, needs, feeding, treats for Taco Bella, of which she took copious and detail notes for by the way. Her whole home as well as fenced in yard has been set up to accommodate being a full time caregiver and keeper of small dogs - she doesn't take on too many. She even has a 'Zen Room' for the dogs to separate them when needed. Taco Bella was able to sleep with her and her husband in their bed as told her she would want to! And it goes on and on from there the praises I could heap on her and her good care. At the last minute (almost) I asked if i could bring Taco Bella the evening before when I realized the getting myself together and the dog to her before going to the airport was going to be too much for me, she said sure no problem. When I decided to stay and an extra day on my vacation that was fine too. Taco Bella was well taken care of. I got regular pictures and detailed updates - and Georgina always responded to my messages or questions right away. This was the first time I had been away since I recused Taco Bella a little more than a year earlier. Taco Bella came out happy and healthy and fine! I was so glad that I chose Georgina and Small Paws Pet Care - I lucked out but when I need to board Taco Bella again it is here she will be going. Georgina really bends over backwards to make things just right for your dog. And her own dog, Kit? He is real heart breaker too, really great dog!

We’ve been using Small Paws for our pups since 2022 and have always had great experiences with Gina. She is very accommodating, and it’s very easy to tell that she is the biggest dog lover! She has a fully fenced half acre, which is wonderful, and our dogs get such great socialization since there are almost always a handful of other pups at Small Paws whenever we drop off/pick up.

This past week, my family and I went on a week long vacation and put all our trust in Gina at Small Paws Pet Care LLC to take care of our 2.5 year old pup Reggie. We wanted to avoid boarding Reggie at an overcrowded dog daycare because honestly we felt like he would not be given individualized attention (which he craves). Gina went above and beyond with Reggie, including dealing with his difficult eating habits, comforting him when we first left him, and even making sure he felt right at home allowing him to follow her all around the house / allow cuddle sessions whenever he needed. Small Paws Pet Care is a hidden gem, and we will be returning customers from here on out. You can book Gina with confidence knowing your dog(s) will be in excellent hands. ****I also feel the need to add that Gina sends daily updates and a daily picture, which as a dog parent, gave me so much comfort****

Small Paws is wonderful! I am always happy to drop my pup Rudy with Georgina when I have a big event or vacation planned. She provides a wonderful open space for the pets to explore and always sends me pictures or videos of my dog throughout his stay. She is compassionate and flexible. I can't recommend Small Paws enough!

So happy I finally found someone I can trust with my dog! Gina is amazing and takes such good care of my little one. Gina is very accommodating and works with you. I would highly recommend this care to anyone

Chandler has been going to Gina since he was ~9months old. We do not like to leave him home alone and we did not want to leave him at a traditional doggy daycare. Gina’s place is perfect because it is at her house and feels more like a home for Chandler. Gina’s place has now become Chandler’s second home - he is there ~3days a week for ‘daycare’ and we also leave him there if we go on vacation. He loves going there because he always has other doggy friends to play with, a large backyard to run around in and Gina is just great with the dogs. He now knows when are about a mile away from her place and starts getting excited in the car. As soon as I open the door when we get there, he is ready to jump out of the car and run in there and play. We get videos and pictures of him playing and you really feel like he is living his best life. Sometimes feel bad on days that I don’t send him there because he seems to have such a good time at Gina’s.

We had a week long vacation planned prior to adopting Zoey, so we were nervous about leaving her for the first time. Gina met with us, and addressed all of our questions and concerns before our trip. Throughout the week, Gina sent updates, pictures and videos to put our minds at ease. When we picked Zoey up, she was so happy! She had a great week with her new furry friends. It’s clear that Gina cares a great deal about the pups that she watches. We will definitely be using her services again, and we recommend her highly.

I don't trust many people with my fur baby, but Gina and Lance (pretty sure my dog likes Lance better than me!) are among the trusted few! They adore her and I know she is in good hands when I need help with daycare and/or boarding. You can rest easy knowing that your four-legged kids are safe, well cared for, and loved on when you're away.
