I am a neurologic music therapist living in the South Loop. I know how important your pets are to you, and I will care for them the way you care for them: with all the love and attention they can handle! My neighborhood is very dog-friendly, with plenty of gated dog parks to give your dog the socialization and exercise he/she desires. I grew up with a German Shepherd/Labrador mix, and have a soft spot for big dogs/giant breeds. Bring on your 150 pounders! Friends and family have always felt comfortable leaving their dogs in my care when they go on extended vacations, and I enjoy taking care of them! I live alone, but have frequent visitors to my place. They're always dog lovers! I currently work a full time job Monday-Thursday, so my hours are somewhat long. Typically, on days that I work, I am away from my home between the hours of 10-11am and 6-7pm.
