I'm the owner of two wonderful dogs that I have raised since puppy hood. A male rat terrier (13yr) and female beagle mixed (14yr). I have a special bond with both my dogs and understand that most people share the same bond with theirs. I treat your dog like I would treat my own. My dogs have a specific feeding time and schedule and understand yours will too. When staying here at the Doggy Hotel. I ask for information about the dog. Such as food and feed times, amounts, behavior, medications. I also want to know what your dog loves/enjoys, what the dog hates/dislikes. I want your dog to feel at home and happy and you the owner to trust and feel assured that your dog is in good hands. I live in a large family home bordering 3 townships/neighborhoods. Cicero, Berwyn and Oak Park. The house has a large fenced backyard where dogs run around and enjoy the outdoors safely. During summer our large Magnolia tree and garage provide shade. Inside the house, our home is fully doggy proof and equipped for all kinds of dogs. I have double doors both in front and in back of the house for safety and to prevent dogs escaping. Tons of treats, toys, beds, and 3 sectioned off areas for puppies, seniors, or feeding. I'm a short drive away or walk depending on dog to Maple dog park, Miller dog park, and Forest Park dog park. And several public parks like Barrie park and Columbus park. I provide several walks a day and lots of of playing time. If your dog doesn't know basic commands like sit, stay, down, etc I will gladly teach them. As a service I provide basic grooming like baths, brushing fur, brushing teeth, and flea guard. Here at my home dogs are free to roam around, lay on the couch, sleep in my room all while enjoying the company of my dogs and I. I work from home and have an open schedule. I try to be as accommodating as possible.
