Pet care experience

I have raised and trained two dogs growing up. Currently I have 1 dog in the house. I have volunteered at dog shelters and worked with most breeds. I want to provide a comfortable and fun environment for your dog. I have worked with dog’s of all types and am flexible to provide the best time for your puppers. Depending on the service we can work out a schedule that is tailored to your dog’s needs. What is most important to me is that your dog is happy during their stay. I work remotely and as a result have extra time to dog sit and dog walk for people in the Chicagoland area! I am available most days as long as you give me a little notice. I can dog walk, dog sit, or take care of your pup while you are away! I have a fenced in yard and two parks nearby to let your dog have fun! I can provide training reinforcements that you are doing with your dog, and provide basic training upon request during your doggie’s stay or walk.

Brian was great. He kept us updated throughout the stay with lots of pictures and regular messages. Marie seemed relaxed and happy when we picked her up. Thank you!
