What's included in your stay? – Two long, phone-free walks everyday, rain or shine. – One lick mat filled with fresh, home-made dog treats each afternoon for mental stimulation and/or various enrichment games in between physical activity. – Supervised playtime in our private, fully fenced in backyard. – Access to our entire house including couches, beds, dog beds, bowls, toys, etc. – this is your dog's home away from home while you're gone. We also have large crates available (which will only be used if you request it.) – We are comfortable administering medication, if needed. – Daily photos/videos of your baby and as many check-ins as you'd like (we know leaving them for even a night can be hard!) – We'd also like to know about any commands, routines or training so we can stick to it while they're in our care. – We just ask that you bring your own food so their tummy doesn't get upset by switching brands. Our experience: My husband and I foster and volunteer for a no-kill dog rescue in Chicago and have welcomed over 50 foster pups into our home in the last four years. We’ve cared for every type of dog from puppies to seniors, bigs to littles, spunky to lazy, some recovering from surgery or other illnesses, and some with behavioral issues. We’ve loved every single one of them! About our furry family members: The love of our life is our 11 year old dog, Fiona. She’s a complete snuggle bug, super calm, and very well behaved with a super submissive demeanor. She loves having other dogs around and is really amazing at adapting and respecting other dog’s personalities and needs. She’s happy playing gently with her doggie friends or giving the more shy ones lots of space. There’s never been a dog she hasn’t gotten along with, which you’ll see in our profile pictures (she’s the one with the blue eyes.) We also have 2 very friendly kitties who aren’t phased by any of our canine guests. If you’re not sure if your pup is kitty friendly, they will have no problem helping to figure that out during our meet and greet. Thanks for visiting our profile, hope to see you and your pet soon!
