Please be sure to read the "What I'd like to know" section. In the wake of a heartwarming 15-year journey alongside my canine soulmate, I've come to a realization: while the time to welcome another full-time furry family member into my life is not just yet in the cards. The profound joy and irreplaceable companionship these wonderful beings offer is something I yearn to remain close to. This epiphany has set me on a distinctive path - to extend a nurturing, joyous, and safe sanctuary for our beloved four-legged friends, tailored specifically for those with unique social needs. As I wander through our vibrant streets, my heart leaps at the sight of our diverse canine community. Each with their own story, their own quirks, drawing me in with their enchanting individuality. It's this very allure that's inspired me to craft a specialized service - one that transcends the conventional dog boarding experience, focusing on those precious souls who thrive best in a more private, attentive setting. This service isn't just about providing a space; it's about offering a personalized retreat where every dog, especially those who find socializing a challenge, can relish in their own kind of fun. A place where playtime, love, and care are tailored to their comfort and happiness, ensuring they feel as cherished and understood as they do in their own homes. By entrusting your special companion to my care, you're not just selecting a boarding service - you're joining a community that deeply understands and celebrates the unique bond we share with our pets. Let's embark on this journey together, where your beloved friend can bask in love, joy, and the peace of an understanding home away from home reflecting the bespoke nature of this service. Together, we'll cherish and nurture these unique spirits, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and joyously at peace in their bespoke sanctuary.

George was so great with our dog!! He was communicative and proactive. He sent sweet photos which really eased my attachment-anxieties. We'll be reaching out for regular services with George!

Schedule

I am fully and 100% remote for work. I can dedicate a lot of time to your pet care needs. I do not go out very often or for very long. I do not drink, but will meet up with friends about once a week.

Safety, trust & environment

I live 2 blocks from the 606 and a block from the boulevards so there is plenty of wide open space for me and your pet to explore. I will dedicate at least 4 to 5 walking, training, and playing sessions a day. I'm pretty well active outdoors. If your dog takes well to bike rides, that's an available option as well.

A typical day

I live close to the 606, a few dog parks, and a block away from the boulevards of Logan Square. We can roam around the boulevards or take a special walk to go to an ice cream shop to grab an ice cream. Play in the parks near me. We can train and teach some potential new tricks. Get plenty of pets and cuddles. Etc.

Please be honest if your dog is house trained or not. There will be an additional $10 per day cleaning fee for accidents. So if they aren't, please bring pads or diapers for your dog. My current rate doesn't reflect a private 1-dog boarding only. The rate for a private boarding is $75/night & only incurred when another customer wants to book during your scheduled time frame. If you want to secure a private boarding then I would be more than happy to arrange that.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
