Your Dog Will Love Our Back Yard!

Pet care experience

My husband and I own a 2 flat in Lincoln Square. We both grew up with dogs in our families. In 2013, we adopted our own rescue pup. She LOVES to play with other dogs, and so do we! We are excited to welcome your dog into our home! We have a HUGE back yard (by city standards) that is a great play area for dogs. It is completely fenced. Pups are never left unattended while playing in the backyard. We both work a typical 9- 5 job during the weekdays so your dog will not have 24/7 supervision but don't worry we will make up for it with lots of love and attention during the mornings/evenings and weekends! We work from home most weekdays. Depending on what your dog is used to, we are willing to let them relax and roam free in our home while we are at work, or we can crate them if you (they) prefer. In addition to the back yard, we are always willing and ready to go for walks/runs around the neighborhood or at the park with your dog. Our rates are based per day (24 hour period). Please check our calendar for availability and then schedule a "Meet And Greet" so we can get things started. We do require a meet and greet for all first time guests. We cannot wait to meet you and your pup! As you can see from the photos, Shandy is always excited to meet new friends!

Mylo loved staying with Darla and Greg. They took great care of him and provided thoughtful updates and photos during his stay. He had a great time playing in the yard! We would highly recommend them and hope to have Mylo stay again.

Darla and Greg were excellent with Stevie! They handled all her concerns through thunderstorms and fireworks and made sure she was comfortable no matter what. It was so reassuring to know she was being cared for by experienced owners and sitters, and got to have fun while she was there! I’ll definitely book again.
