Bow WOW Bed & Breakfast.

Pet care experience

Always a vacancy in our two story Chicago home for dog guests. Lots of room to wander and play, a front and back yard to romp and explore, a big comfy bed to snuggle up in. Our Jack Russell, Stranger loves company. I work from home, so there is guaranteed attention-a-plenty. Of course guests can bring their own crate/bed if they choose. We live in a great neighborhood for long walks on quiet side streets, too! About this sitter: I am a native Chicagoan and dog lover, having grown up with terriers. I work from home in a creative field, which affords me the luxury to pursue my hobbies: dogs, gardening, and cooking. My partner is a chef, as well as a super dog lover. Why I love dog sitting We've grown up with dogs....love them all! Our pets have included a wire haired Fox Terrier, a Jack Russell Terrier, a Dachsund, and our current companions, another Jack Russell Terrier and Dachsund pair. Personality goes a long way with us, which is why we tend toward small, fiesty breeds. Meet my pets Our Jack Russell Terrier, Stranger, loves company and having friends over to play and to snuggle - he's a lover and gets along with every one. About my yard We have both a back and front yard, both securely enclosed, with privacy fence in back, and chain link in front. In good weather, we leave the doggie door open to the back yard so the dogs can lounge in the sun, or chase the squirrels and birds off the trees. The front yard is grass, with a nice porch for sitting and watching the passers by. My experience administering medication We have enjoyed the company of my dogs into their old age, and we know that means some extra care and attention, even medication. We have no problem administering and giving extra care when needed.

Oso loved staying with Gabrielle! He got to play with her pups and enjoy her lovely yard. Gabrielle also sent photo updates to keep us posted on how he was doing. I especially appreciate the meet and greet she required before booking, it shows her dedication to making sure the stay would work out well for all. Would definitely have Oso stay with her again!

Thanks, Gabrielle, for providing a home-away-from-home for little Ivy. I know she really enjoyed her time with you and your two pups! We appreciated the periodic updates and knowing she was in a loving and safe place.

Gabrielle was excellent, as usual, and gave Greta a true vacation of her own, complete with walks with her dog pals and evenings lying by the fireplace. So thankful to rest easy while we are out of town, knowing that Greta is so well taken care of.

My dog had a great time with her two small dogs...I like that she has a yard and the room in her house for them to run around. My dog was able to join the bedtime cuddling which he loves! Would recommend!

Information Gabrielle S. would like to know about your pet

We get along great with all dogs, but prefer the littler, feisty ones. A dog over 30 pounds is just too much dog for us. The little ones can be a challenge, but they have so much personality!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We walk around the neighborhood, never on the same route, were we sometimes meet our friendly neighbor dogs, people and can explore new areas. The streets are all side streets, no major or high traffic areas. Your dog's sleeping arrangement My dogs share a comfy queen size bed, or sometimes choose to sleep in a dog bed by the side (usually in hot weather). Its warm and comfy, with room for everyone! Time I'll spend with your dog I work from home, and spend about 2/3 day in and around the company of my dog. Three long walks a day, plus outdoor time in good weather, indoor playtime in colder months. Pus we are a night time snuggling dog family!
