Hi All, We are a dog loving family in Evanston, IL. We have two daughters, ages 3.5 and 6.5, who both adore dogs of all sizes. We unfortunately had to say goodbye to our 13-year-old pittie mix recently and are not quite ready to adopt a new dog, but are greatly missing the companionship and love of a fur baby in our home. We are eager to provide the care, cuddles, and play we gave our Jakey boy for so many years, to your pup while you're away. We have a huge, fenced-in backyard and are happy to have your dog free roam in our home - no need to be crated (unless of course they prefer to sleep in their crate/be in there when we are not at home). We look forward to meeting you and your fur baby, soon!
