About Doug & Deb B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
We are prepared to offer our guests at least one on-leash walk each day unless you direct that they only spend time in our fenced in yard. We do not kennel unless you bring one with directions to do so. If our guest requires medicine or shots we have plenty of experience, you'll show us how you want it done, it will be done. If you'd like to have a photo sent each day we can do that, in fact we like doing that.

Information Doug & Deb B. would like to know about your pet
If you advise us to any 'issues' our guest may have we are likely able to address them. We will only feed them food and treats you provide and encourage you to bring their favorite toy(s).
A typical day
If our guest is trained we will put s/he through their paces. If they have an activity they like and you share that with us, we will do our best to incorporate that into their day.

Pet care experience
Please note: Our lives have changed a bit. We now have our 4 grandchildren (5-11 years) living with us full-time. Up until now they have been regulars in our home providing additional love and play time for our canine guests. They love all of our guests but understand that some guests may not wish to play and our children know to leave them alone. If yours isn’t comfortable with children we are more than happy to talk about it, perhaps we can help. We've taken care of our own dogs and friends dogs over the years. We've raised 3 from puppies and two other 'step-dogs' from puppies as well. Ours have been multiple breeds including Wheaten Terrier, Whoodle (Wheaten Poodle mix), Cockapoo, and 2 Pit Bulls. We've given medicine and shots so your diabetic dog is welcome. Our guests receive the attention they desire and always a bottomless bowl of filtered water! :> ) Bonus: If you're traveling out of O'Hare we offer free and easy street parking (always a space) and your Über X ride is about $28.
Reviews
We cannot thank Doug & Deb enough for looking after our dog, Taz. We had to rush to the hospital to have our baby, and they stepped in immediately to help. They came and picked Taz up, which took a massive weight off our shoulders during a very stressful and exciting moment. Throughout his stay, they sent regular updates and photos, keeping us completely at ease while we were in the hospital. Taz was treated like family and received the absolute best care. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable, and compassionate pet sitters. We will definitely be booking with them again!
Doug & Deb provided great care for our dog, Bob. They were very detailed, provided the perfect amount of communication and we were very comfortable that Bob was being taken care of. We would highly recommend Doug & Deb to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Doug and Deb are the best. Our third time leaving our girl with them for a week and they always take amazing care of her. Cannot recommend them enough!
Noodles had the pleasure of staying with Doug and Deb for the third time this past week. If the kids were missing Noodles, they had plenty of pictures from his stay with Doug & Deb to know he was having a great time while we were away. We rest easy knowing he is truly cared for and enjoyed!
