Have an early or late drop off/pick up time? No problem! Going to be late for your drop off/pick up? Still no problem! About me: I moved to Chicago from Iowa back in April 2015. I used to work in daycare but now I am a freelance artist and model. My boyfriend and I are huge animal lovers. We have three cats. They had never been around dogs until I started with Dogvacay, but now that we have dogs here so often you would never know! They'll give the dogs a hiss if they feel uncomfortable, and they have a lot of places they can retreat to if they feel overwhelmed! We do ask that all animals be cat friendly for everyone's safety and comfort. My boyfriend is a freelance carpenter, but he helps me with the animals on nights, weekends, and days off. Our home: We live in a ground floor studio apartment, so we are easily accessible and the dogs will always be near. We have a wonderful private gated backyard. It's complete with a deck and a 5ft+ wooden privacy fence! I still stand out and monitor the dogs while they're out in the yard. Your dog will get plenty of potty breaks and exercise! Your dog will also get to free roam the house, so it'll feel like a second home and not a kennel. So please message me if you have any questions!
