Pet care experience

You miss 100% of dogs you don’t pet

We have been watching dogs for over 10 years now and have been the “go to” person for excellent dog care. We began when we were both 13 watching friend’s dogs while they left for extended vacations. We’ve watched dogs for 4 months while the family moved down south temporarily. We have also been trained with multiple sizes and breeds of dogs as well as many ages of dogs. We both were working as part time dog walker/sitters in Chicago while we attended school. I (Isaac) have owned three dogs in my lifetime. I have owned a golden retriever, a golden lab, and a golden retriever/lab mix. We both are available in the evenings and on Saturdays. Special skills would be keeping your dog entertained and loved. We take our job seriously and want to ensure the greatest safety when watching dogs! I only work at most 7 hours a day for 5 days a week. I have a wife who stays at home and is willing to take over when needed. She also has 10 years of experience with dogs and is a certified dog walker. I have a standard golden doodle which we keep on a fairly strict schedule. We make sure he gets tons of rest, make sure he eats what he needs to eat, and exercise the amount required for his breed and age. We always make sure that objects in the house that could potentially be of harm to him are kept away and if we do have to leave the house, he always is put inside his kennel after being let out to use the restroom. We always have save time throughout the day to train and time to play.

Safety, trust & environment

We always make sure they are given proper amounts of food, water, and of course daily exercise and mind exercises. This of course varies on the dog, but we like to stick with our clients recommendations on how they like to keep their dogs healthy.

Hunter had a great time running around in their backyard with his new friend. Isaac and Ellie provided great communication, photos, and videos our of fur baby having a great time away. We also appreciated the promptness of having Hunter ready to go when we arrived after a long hot day.

Isaac is amazing with pets. As a dog owner himself, he is more thank capable of caring for yours. He is a great choice for someone to care for your beloved pet.

Isaac is a dog whisperer! I have personally witnessed him be in the presence of a crazy dog and help it become completely calm. He is gentle with all dogs, yet engages with them in just the right type of stimulation they need to release their energy. He is a wonderful dog sitter, wonderful dog walker, and very responsible.

Isaac has loved dogs for as long as I’ve known him! Not only dogs and animals, but he is a people person as well. He is dependable and respectable without a doubt. He has a dog of his own that is one of the most well behaved dogs I have ever met! He would make the perfect pet caregiver because he is all around a fantastic person who is trustworthy and will love on your pets without hesitation.
