Fenced pup paradise by Lincoln Park
Pet care experience
We live in a single family home near Lincoln Park along with our dog, George, a 50 lb smaller Lab mix, and our puppy Dalmatian, Zeke, who is 8 weeks old (Jun '21). Your dog will be able to play in the fenced yard, take walks through the neighborhood to the water, and get lots of love. We both work from home during the week, so can provide your pup with lots of attention, tennis balls, and pets. We go on at least 2 walks per day with George, who also loves other dogs, and spend a lot of time outdoors letting the pups play. We are only taking dogs that are good with puppies as our pup is quite young at the moment. Often, we take George (and soon Zeke) on hikes on the weekend but are just as happy walking around the neighborhood too. We both grew up with active dogs of various sizes and love caring for others' pets. We've had our current pup for 8 years since we rescued him and he's an active, playful pup who loves new friends (they called him "The Socializer" at daycare b/c he loves to play).
Reviews
Always great! Duke comes home tired and happy!
Dukes stay with Richard was great as usual. Duke was a bit under the weather and Richard accommodated some special requests we had. Will use Richard again for sure!
Can't say enough great things about Richard. He was easy to get in touch with, extremely flexible each time we had to change our dates, and did an awesome job giving Duke a chance to stretch his legs - within the span of less than a week Duke went for a long hike, a run and several outdoor play dates with their dog George. We received daily messages and pictures of Duke having a great time. Highly recommend!
We chose dog boarding Whisky at Richard's place for a week. Richard took great care of Whisky by taking her to regular walk/run everyday. He took her to office too since our dog has separation anxiety. Whisky played her hearts content with George (Richard's dog) and they got along pretty well. The stay was so comforting for Whisky that she just didn't want to leave Richard at the end of the stay. We had to lure her with a few treats :) Richard is great in communication and shared pictures and text messages of Whisky very frequently. He was even flexible and accommodative of extending the stay to one more day due to our change in business trip schedule. We would definitely recommend Richard and your dog will have the best time ever.

Safety, trust & environment
We have a fully fenced yard that is 4+ (6 ft in most but has about 10' of 4 ft fence). We can also provide fenced in play areas (with access to water, shade, treats and minimal distractions) as needed. We have a gate installed in the home as well as separate outdoor areas if separation needs to occur (we always keep pups separate when bones or any chews are involved).
Home
Information Richard & Joshua D. would like to know about your pet
Pets MUST NOT have any aggression/behavioral issues. We'd love to know in what environment they play best, where they're at with training (anything you'd like us to work on) and if they are used to being crated when separated/at night. Any special dietary needs as well.
A typical day
We will go on walks to Lincoln Park, throughout our neighborhood, and wherever your pup is up for. If it's over the weekend, we love to take the pups on a hike. If all three pups can fit comfortably in our car, we'd love to take your pup on an adventure if our schedules allow.
Services
Richard & Joshua can host
Availability
For daycare, Josh works from home full-time and can provide your dog with lots of specialized attention, since we only watch one dog at a time. Our dog George loves new friends, and you can be sure your dog will come home tired and happy. If you have specific questions get in touch!
