Dogs love me because I Love them!

Pet care experience

Dogs are my favorite animals.I have had dogs since I was a child and have learned a lot of facts about them during that time. Dogs remind me of children in so many ways and I believe that they can sense when someone loves them, sense kindness, fear , and they always respond to love. they need to know what to expect from strangers, just like people. With me, they quickly learn that they are loved and that they will have fun when they are here with me. I immediately let them know I am a friend by giving them great , tasty treats and petting and games by taking them outside and playing catch, retrieve or in the summer , pulling out the doggy pool and inviting my neighbor;s dogs to join the party. The dogs in my neighborhood will testify that my love for dogs do not stop with sitting. When their owners walk them ( or some come alone if owner is nearby) they expect to get a hug and a treat 24-7.😍 Many of my clients tell me their pets get excited when they pull up in front of my home and scramble to get out of the car. Nothing changes each time they come here. Ton's of love, great treats ( the good ones that have real food) and choice of toys to play with.I also offer baths when requested and their routine is kept as close as possible to their routine at home to make them even more comfortable through familiarity.

So very happy with the care provided to our Bear. We were updated on how he was doing and I appreciate knowing he was in good hands!

Gail is very sweet. My dog has stayed with her twice and been very happy. She takes very good care of him and spoils him just like we do!

Information A. GAIL D. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preference because dogs and I communicate through love. If they know you love them, they are made to feel secure and are happy animals! I prefer animals 60 lbs and under because they are easier to walk. I humbly ask that potential dog owners will ignore the reference by Ken Z on customer comments. you will notice remarkably that this is the only negative comment, unproven, and false. Sadly, he only wanted a full refund so that he could have a free stay.He could not show any evidence whatever of his claim because it was false. My deepest apologies for having to bring this injustice to your attention. Thank you. Some owners are confused about the pick up day rate. The pick up is between 8;00 a.m and the time the owner dropped off their pet.Pick up should be the same time is the same time as the drop off time. A 2hr. courteous time frame is allowed for after the due pick up time. Customers returning later than the drop off time can pay for the last day and schedule a pickup time the following day at no charge.

A typical day

Weather permitting, I take them for walks in the forest preserves.The two I frequent the most is the Salt Creek trails, Brookfield and Brezina Woods. The animals love it with all the wild scents they pick up and when the weather is dry, we walk along the creek as well.
