“We loved Tanya! She took our booking on a rather short notice and was completely professional with such a big heart! I had even forgotten a few tidbits to mention to her but she answered her messages quickly and got it done! My girls instantly loved her and were excited when she dropped in on them.

About: I’ve grown up with two dogs—one small and one large—so I’m comfortable handling all sizes. I enjoy caring for high-energy dogs just as much as calm, cuddly ones. Whether it’s playtime or downtime, I adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I do not have a job, I am looking but am currently unemployed and starting school again in August! I will have plenty of time to visit your pups this summer and even during school:) I have a fenced backyard with lots of space and trees for your dog to run around!! I have a Big German Shepard who is friendly and loves to play with other dogs outside!!

About: Hello! I am a 28-year-old animal lover on Chicago’s East side. My solo-living lifestyle isn’t best suited for a pup of my own, so I’d love to help you care for yours!
