Ian was wonderful with our dog! He sent several updates throughout the day. We felt very well informed when we were away from our dog. We will go back to Ian when we visit Chicago again! We had 100% trust with him.

I currently am working from home. So I am available all day, any day, as well as nights. I would love to spoil your pups! I am in Avondale right by 90/94 and the blue line (belmont/addison stops).

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large pet friendly house with a fenced in yard (5 ft shy of a double lot). Dogs are allowed on furniture and beds. I have multiple floors if dogs need to be kept separate. Drop off is super easy. There is a fire hydrant directly in front of my house and parking behind my garage as well. Since I accept multiple dogs I only accept over 1 year, fixed and friendlies.

A typical day

I have a plethora of dog toys as well as a bunch of stuff to play with outside if the weather is nice. I have a large back patio with a dog gate on it I work from when it is nice out. Puppies are always supervised in the yard. Only a couple blocks to the riverwalk for pup walks. and I have a 6 ft puppy bench in the front bay windows that is always a favorite. It is a very quiet street. I believe in plenty of play during the day so we can snuggle at night. Not only do I want your baby to be happy and healthy, but I do not want you to worry while on your trip.
