Dogs will generally spend the day with me and my dogs. I will separate them if I have to leave but generally that won't be for more than a few hours.

Definitely want to know if there is any behavior I need to be co concerned with, your usual potty schedule, and if there are any behaviors you'd like to encourage or avoid.

With me dogs have plenty of outdoor time when the weather is good. With shade and water available. If the weather is less than comfortable we they can lounge or play in the house where the temperature is always controlled.

Pet care experience
I've been a professional pet sitter since 2001. Currently my wife and I own a home in South Chicago, although most of my clients live in Hyde Park. I've been taking care of dogs in the Hyde Park area since college. I went to the University of Chicago. After school I managed a West Loop Doggie Daycare and Kennel. In 2006, I began working for myself and have maintained that as my only source of income. In that time I've cared for all types of dogs, from very old to very young and everything in between. I can also offer services to variety of temperaments and training stages. If we are a fit, my wife and I have two dogs, two cats, and 8 fishes who will be happy to meet you. I also offer training, doggie playgroups, and walks for clients in the area.
Reviews
I have known Brandi since the very beginning. Literally, I think I may have been her first client. She was always very knowledgeable and intuitive about dogs but she went further, investing years gaining professional experience and formal training. I have referred dozens of clients to her over the years and have always heard great things from each and every one. Big dogs, little dogs, wild ones or timid ones, Brandi understands them all. She knows whet they need. You can not do better for your pup.
I met Brandi in the park, 17 years ago when I had 2 unruly German Shepherd puppies. She became our trainer and dog walker for over 10 years...my dogs loved her! Fast forward after they passed away and I get 2 new German Shepherd dogs and once again, they love her. However, most importantly, I trust Brandi implicitly with their care and well being. She knows/understands dog behavior very well and is a really good communicator regarding the dog's well being. I have the highest confidence in her knowledge, expertise and handling skills.
Brandi is a highly responsible, conscientious, caring, and kind dog care provider. She has walked and cared for our sweet pup (a pittie mix) since adoption 10 years ago. From daily walks to puppy playgroup to boarding, we have peace of mind knowing that our pup is under Brandi's care. She is most knowledgeable about the care and health of dogs, and shares this wisdom with us, helping us be better pet owners. We highly, highly recommend Brandi for walking, boarding, and puppy playgroups.
Brandi provides exceptional dog care. When I rescued my dog, ten and ½ years ago, Brandi was (and remains) my go-to-person for boarding, playgroups, walks, and training. Over the years, she has displayed incredible integrity—she follows through on her commitments displaying honesty combined with genuine love for and expertise in her work. She is a go-to person for dog care because of her in-depth experience. I refer to her as my “dog whisperer”. The true testament to her fantastic dog care services is how happy my dog is to go with her to walk board and/or playgroup. I have never boarded my dog anywhere else and am worry-free when I’m away. Brandi’s stellar reputation is one-of-a-kind; and she both earns and deserves it. You will be so happy having your dog in her care.
