Loving and welcoming home for dogs!

Pet care experience

- My husband Ranny and I love to care for furry friends! We grew up both having pups around. Ranny had two dogs growing up, Mason (a Pomeranian) and Buddy (a Pomeranian and Chihuahua mix); I help raise my parents' two dogs, Milky and Baby2 (both mix), who now live happily in China. We enjoy playing with dogs and we love to care for them! We plan to eventually adopt a dog at our home :) - While we both have full time jobs, we are working from home now and we'd love to meet some new furry friends! We will give your fur baby full attention and make sure they are happy and comfortable at our home. We live in a 3 unit building on the second floor, right by Wrightwood park, which is where we love to take dogs on walk or play. We can also take the dogs to other parks near Lincoln Park area. Our unit is spacious 1700 sq ft and has a lot of room for our furry friends to play. Our building has a small fenced yard. After taking a paw-se in 2021 to welcome our newest family member, we're excited to jump back into dog sitting! Now that our little one is a bit bigger, we're ready to fill our home with more furry friends. Our toddler absolutely loves dogs, which makes this the perfect time for us to start welcoming four-legged guests again! 🐾​​​​​​​

My dog was very relaxed and happy during her stay with her and her family. Everything went smoothly and was stress-free. I highly recommend her.
