Never met a dog I didn't love

You can expect your pup to be treated with the utmost love and affection since I don’t have a dog of my own. I welcome any furry friends in my house and my heart. ****ATTENTION: On April 1, 2026 I moved from my Bucktown apt to Ukrainian Village. For anyone who has booked me in the past; I wanted to note!

I think my pup was depressed when I brought her home because she was sad to leave the amazing time she had with her bff Cara! I definitely was at ease knowing she was so well loved and cared for while I was away. Cara went above and beyond sending pictures, videos, and updates about what they were up to together. So thankful to have found such a great person on Rover!

Cara was great! She sent multiple updates with pictures throughout the day that put my mind at ease. She followed our instructions to the T with our reactive dog as well. Would book again!

Cara took great care of our young dog! He is nervous around new people and can be reactive, but he took to her instantly. She knew just how to give him space and within minutes he was trying to lick her face. I’ve never seen him so comfortable with someone other than us. She let him snuggle with her while she worked and was more than happy to take on him and all his quirks. I’m so grateful to be able to leave him and know he’s safe and comfortable.

Schedule

I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I’m able to make time for pups whenever is needed. Love to have a dog by my side as I work.

Safety, trust & environment

My house is their house when they are here. I welcome them anywhere they find comfy, whether it be the dog bed I have for my furry friends, my couch or bed. I make sure that they have all they need and are happy in my home!

A typical day

Since I don’t have pets of my own, I just love to spoil the pups I’m watching with all the pets and snugs.

Is your dog potty trained and do they sleep through the night? What's their favorite toy to play with? Do they have any bad habits I should be aware of?
