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!

Greg and Darla went above and beyond for our boy Bowie! Shandy is also the absolute sweetest! They initially worked with us to schedule a meet and greet to ensure Bowie and Shandy would be safe and comfortable together while we were away. We discovered upon drop off that Bowie was afraid of using the stairs to get to their second floor living space (he’s lived in an apartment building with an elevator since we’ve had him). Definitely not an ideal situation when you have a flight to catch, but Greg and Darla were incredibly kind and accommodating the entire weekend. They carried Bowie (who is 75 pounds) up and down the stairs the first few days and worked with him for hours to help him gain confidence to start navigating the stairs on his own. They were extremely communicative during our trip and sent updates and pictures every day which were great to see. Shandy and Bowie looked like they had a ton of fun together, and Greg and Darla ensured Bowie got plenty of fetch time in their yard. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters while we were away and completely recommend them for anyone looking for a safe, patient, and fun environment for their pup!

Jax had another great stay with Darla and Greg! I received daily messages and photos of Jax while I was away. I know that he’s in great hands when he stays with Darla and Greg.

Darla and Greg are fantastic. Missy is a frequent flyer at their house and is well taken care of.

Thank you for taking such good care of Bella! She liked your yard so much she didn’t want to come home last night. 🐶🐾❤️
