Friend for pup while you're away!

**Please note: Required minimum length of booking is three nights.** My name is Briana Santos and I am a 35 year old dog person who came to the Chicago mid 2023. I enjoy spending time with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and owners. I had one of my own, Lola Burgers, until March of 2022. When adopted, she required a lot of training and relationship building. Through the process I learned so much about communication, structure, body language and more in working with dogs. She became my right hand girl in every way, and I completely understand how important taking care of your pups is. I have experience with difficult/stubborn dogs, reactive dogs, administering medicine, older dogs and puppies. I am an avid walker and still exploring Chicago, so your dog(s) are welcome to keep me company. I would love to care for your pet(s) while you're away!

She did an incredible job house sitting with our angel pup for 2 nights over a holiday weekend! Great communicator and takes excellent photos!

Briana got our uncooperative husky to be leashed up for a walk! Glad to have a great dog walker that our husky actually obeys.

Briana was amazing with our two dogs! She stayed in our home while we were away and took such great care of them. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Especially because it was our first time away in a new city. Our boys were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we got home and she took great care of our home as well. We will be booking with Briana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!

Bianca was great with our stubborn, anxiety driven husky and our other very obedient dog. We did a meet and greet before booking, and knew she would be able to handle a needy dog.

Briana was great with my pup! Super communicative -- great pics and lots of updates. House was pristine when I came home. I will definitely book Briana again. Highly recommend.

Briana was great with our scaredy cat husky. She had a calming influence on him and he trusted her enough to take cheese, lie down, and even have his harness put on. Will be going back to her again!
