Private Dog Care in Champaign/Urbana

 

Kelpie

Our dog doors and non-skid ramp ensure that dogs
of all sizes and abilities can go outside to our fenced yard whenever they please
.

Bada

Prolonged separation can be stressful for your dogs, so leave them in a loving, relaxed environment instead of a cramped, noisy boarding kennel.

Sprite

We encourage dogs to patrol the house and yard and play together so that energetic dogs like Sprite above (a foster, now
in her forever home) never feel bored or confined.

Gracie and Bella

Offering cage-free care in our home
on a limited basis.

After caring for foster dogs for quite some time, we realized we had the experience and accommodations to offer a comfortable short-term or long-term care solution for dog owners traveling for work, going on vacation, serving our country, dealing with an illness in the family, and so on.

  • We take in only one or two dogs at a time so we can take the time to get to know each dog individually; those we take in receive the same love and pampering that our own dogs receive. They'll live in our home with access to our fenced yard at all times. We can accommodate all sizes and are experienced with puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs. We believe in cage-free care, but dogs are always separated at mealtimes and food and medication are carefully monitored. Dogs who prefer to nap in their crates are welcome to bring them. Fresh filtered water is always available, indoors and out.

  • Certified in Pet First Aid, we can provide excellent references from families and area rescue groups that we have fostered for and continue to work with.

Dogs should be up to date on flea
treatment and vaccinations.
With your permission, they should enjoy socializing
with other dogs in a nonaggressive manner.

Please email us to check availability
and schedule a time to bring your
dog to meet us.


We ask that all dogs arrive and depart on a leash. 

Donations help cover food and medical expenses
for foster and rescue dogs in Central Illinois.

House guest Maddie and our son's dog Gracie

We've always had dogs, and we've always hated the options available for boarding or petsitting. No one wants to come home tired from a trip only to find their dog stressed and fearful.

And don't forget to bring their favorite bed or blanket; they'll recognize the smell and know that you're still looking out for them even when you're not there.
