About 4403 S ROBERTS RD , ISLAND LAKE, IL 60042

Hidden within a canopy of towering mature trees and surrounded by lush green grounds, this remarkable kennel property blends the peaceful feeling of a private countryside retreat with the operational strength of a long-established, highly capable pet resort. From the moment you pull in, it’s immediately clear this is not a typical kennel property — it’s an operation built with intention, pride, and decades of investment behind it. Serving the community since the early 1980s, Dominoe Pet Resort has earned a long-standing reputation and loyal clientele that add tremendous value beyond the real estate itself. For the next owner, the opportunity here is far bigger than simply purchasing land and buildings — it’s stepping into an already-recognized business supported by extensive infrastructure that would be extraordinarily difficult and expensive to recreate today. The facility itself is impressive in both scale and functionality. Spanning over 5,800 square feet, the kennel improvements showcase long rows of professional-grade indoor accommodations, expansive covered outdoor runs, dedicated grooming and bathing areas, feline boarding spaces, large exercise yards, and durable commercial materials designed for efficiency and longevity. Premium Mason kennel systems, specialized drainage, heavy-duty fencing, and thoughtfully designed workflow layouts reflect years of careful planning and substantial investment into creating a truly turnkey operation capable of supporting high-volume boarding with ease. Yet despite the impressive commercial setup, the property still feels warm, welcoming, and deeply connected to the lifestyle side of dog ownership and care. At the heart of the property sits a beautifully maintained ranch-style residence surrounded by manicured lawns, mature landscaping, and peaceful outdoor living spaces. Large open green spaces stretch between the home and kennel buildings, creating an unexpectedly serene setting where business and everyday living coexist beautifully. Whether relaxing beneath the trees after a busy day, enjoying coffee on the patio overlooking the grounds, or simply taking in the quiet privacy of the property, the atmosphere here feels calm, established, and incredibly special. For buyers searching for a property that combines proven business history, serious operational infrastructure, and a genuinely beautiful place to live and work, opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. This is the kind of property that leaves a lasting impression long after you’ve toured it — a true lifestyle investment built around the love of dogs and the future of pet care.
