Hi, My name is Bob and my roommate's name is Steve and my dog's name is Ozzie. If your dog stays with us it will be treated like our own. I make my own doggie treats and I take my dog to Fort Sheridan every week or every other week. There is a park at the end of my block and we are 3 blocks away from the beach. I am a photographer so I can take photos of your dog and send them to you when we go to the beach or park. I been a dog owner most of my life. We will treat your dog like he is my own and show him affection just like you would. My dog has a very sensitive diet so I am well aware that some dogs may need special requirements. Steve works from home so there is always here with your dog and you don't have to worry about your dog being alone in a strange place for hours on end. About this sitter: We are also available for day care and we can watch your dog (or cat or whatever) in your home if you would prefer. We know that some people prefer to have their pets stay at home so they feel more secure. We can help you out with that. Although, must be near our location or CTA red line. We can pick up your pet in the morning for you if you are looking for daycare. Why I love dog sitting I once lived in a very small town called Rising Fawn, GA. There was a community dumpster there and if there was a dog there for more then a day the local yokels would shoot them. My dad and I didn't like that so any time we saw a dog there at the dumpster we would take it to our property. If they stayed we would keep feeding them and if they ran away we wouldn't chase them. They all stayed, we had 8 dogs. Meet my pets My dog is named Ozzie. I got him from Orphans of the storm about 3 years ago. He is 8 years old and a great dog. He gets along with other dogs so well that my dog walked will take him on other walks with other dogs that she has. He is a very mellow dog and doesn't jump up on people and barks very rarely. He loves going for walks and I like taking him on walks. We are 3 blocks away from the beach and there is a park at the end of my block and a dog park about 4 blocks away. About my yard We have a fenced in back yard. There are photos in my profile of the back area. My experience administering medication Yes, no problem. I do it for my dog as well.
