Saint Charles is completely sold out. We do have a wait list though in case anybody cancels.

Once STC moves into it's new place, we will have more boarding suites available. We were hoping to be in there by spring break but it's not going to happen.:(

Hi Jennifer, I am the owner of Safe Haven Advocate Pet Care & Photography, LLC. We are a professional specialty pet care business out of the Elgin area who also service St.Charles. A little bit about us; Myself and my staff are first aid, CPR, and fear free certified. Everyone also has training in animal behavior and emergency and medical management. We are bonded and insured and an "LLC." The standard of care that I hold my employees to is extremely high, as I have worked in the veterinary field for fourteen years and was an emergency vet tech for six years.

You will receive not only written updates but photos daily to reassure you that they are well cared for while you are away. We would love to hear more about your pet care needs and have the opportunity to bond with your pets in the near future.
