1. Ian T.

“Ian provided day care for our pup Cooper when we were visiting our son in Chicago. Cooper stayed with Ian six times while we were visiting sights in the city. Ian’s a great communicator and super responsive. He was available every time we needed him, and sent us photos of Cooper during each stay. Cooper is a bit anxious but became very comfortable with Ian. Ian has a nice back yard for the dogs, although Cooper seemed to enjoy lounging on his window seat watching the activity outside. We would recommend Ian highly and will use his services again next time we’re in Chicago.”
