Loving Dog Care Built on 28 Years of Trust

From private, in-home farm boarding on a 2-acre property to personal, reliable dog walking

We treat your pets like guests

When you have someone else taking care of your pet, you want to ensure your “best friend” receives the best, most comfortable experience.

At Loving Care 4 Pets, we provide that during our in-home boarding services and dog walking.

When boarding, the last things you should be worrying about:

  • Is my dog stuck in a crate?

  • Is anyone actually watching them?

  • Are they eating?

  • Are they stressed?

At Loving Care 4 Pets, dogs stay inside a real home with the ability to move around freely in a secured dog run — never in a kennel.

They rest on dog beds in the house.

They can freely go outside into a secured 3,000 square foot dog area.

They’re supervised day and night.

As an owner, you can even enjoy the convenience of getting them groomed and transported to-and-from your home.

What People Are Saying

“Rockey has known and cared for my Havanese for 14 years and treats him as if he were his own. I would not trust boarding Waylon with anyone else, and am thankful that Rockey is so dependable and caring. The peace of mind I have when I leave my dog with Rockey cannot be measured.”

“Rockey is wonderful! Not sure what our family would do without him! Our dog LOVES to be with him and really gets excited when he arrives to pick her up. He is dependable, reliable and flexible. We never worry about our dog when she’s with him and we don’t send her anywhere else.”

“For over two years, Loving Care 4 Pets has walked my, dog twice daily. I’ve been consistently impressed by their reliability and kindness. My dog is always happy to see them and I highly recommend their services.”

Lori – Glencoe, IL

“Rockey and Segundo have been taking care of our dogs for many years.  We could not be happier with the love and care they provide on walks and boarding. Our dog waits impatiently for his walk every day with Segundo and when he goes with Rockey for boarding, he can't get out the door fast enough. They love our dogs as much as we do and we have peace of mind knowing our animal family members are not only in great care with them but also having fun.”

Reliable dog walking and a familiar face

For busy families and professionals, weekday dog walking should be simple and dependable.

When someone enters your home, you want to know who it is. Similarly, your pet does too. That’s why our clients and dogs see the same walker 98% of the time — not a rotating list of strangers, like corporate dog walking services.

This gives you and your pet the opportunity to build a relationship with the dog walker. To further support our belief in this value, we do not do “pack walking.”

Communication is reliable.

Scheduling is flexible.

Visits are structured.
