My wife and I are avid dog lovers! We've both owned many our whole lives and now that we're married, we can't wait to find the right one to be a part of our new family. But until then, we'd love to take care of your little buddy! I've worked in a cage-free dog boarding facility and have a long history taking care of animals. My wife has volunteered with PAWS and also loves and knows quite a bit about dogs. And if having young kids in the home concerns you, don't worry - our girls are very tough, love dogs, and we're always careful. We'll spoil your pup and they are guaranteed to be loved like our own. Check out our past stays to see pics of dogs having a blast! Special needs are welcome as well! From crate training and daily walks, to special diets or allergies, we're ready! We can't wait to meet you! Give us a call! About this sitter: I am a private banker, she is hair stylist. Our daughters are 5 and 3, are extremely sweet and always get excited when a dog comes to visit! Why I love dog sitting We've been dog lovers our whole lives. I had two golden retrievers growing up and after them, we got two cocker spaniels. My wife has had labradors, collie mixes, and shepherds. I've worked in an overnight dog hotel/kennel and my wife has volunteered at PAWS Chicago and also has volunteered many times to care for others animals. We love pets of all kinds, but dogs of course hold a special place. About my yard We have a gated backyard with a place for a dog's 'business'. We will let the pooch run around freely and explore. We also have a great park across the street and are within 5-10 min of wonderful dog parks. My experience administering medication Yes. As long as instructions are clearly explained.
