Doggy Has It is owned and run by Anja, a lifelong animal lover who comes from a family of dog trainers and has spent her career giving dogs (especially the ones nobody else wants) a real chance. In 2016, she turned her 5-acre homestead on the west side of Elgin into a nature-first retreat for boarding and daycare, complete with prairie trails and an agility playground. No cages, no warehouse kennels - just real space, real attention, and real care.

Not a boarding kennel - an all-inclusive pawcation. Your dog joins Anja's own pack for prairie walks, agility play, and snuggles every night, with the same love and attention for every dog, every stay.
For dogs who'd rather skip the wild free-for-all, daycare here means walks, enrichment, and a calm, consistent routine that helps dogs build real friendships and settle in fast.
Anja's nonprofit rescue gives senior and hard-to-place dogs a second chance through fostering and fospice care, and a few times a year she travels to Aruba to help spay, neuter, and treat the island's street dogs.
