Hi, my name is Ivan! I’m a proud owner to my beautiful Australian cattle dog, Rylie. I’ve had her since she was a puppy and can confidently say that I’ve raised her to be obedient, friendly, and playful. I've been a dog owner for all of my life and have extensive experience with several different breeds and dogs of all sizes. I currently offer dog walking, drop-ins, and boarding services! For boarding services: I fully understand that your dog deserves the utmost care and attention while you’re away on your vacation (as what I expect for Rylie when I need someone to board her). I am here to provide just that! With that, please note that I only board ONE CLIENT AT A TIME! My home is setup to accommodate dogs with ample space for play and relaxation. I also have a decked yard where I can casually let the dogs out to get some fresh air. Additionally, I’m conveniently located at a short distance from Lincoln Park, allowing for long walks and exciting visits to the park. Rest assured that your dog will be in excellent company. Not only will I spend plenty of time with them, but our dog Rylie will also be an awesome companion! She is extremely friendly, playful and extensively trained. She will do a great job making your dog feel comfortable and have a wonderful time playing with each other! She has been around many dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages and can easily accustom herself to your dog’s level of playfulness. I understand how important it is for your dog to get the best care possible. It can be hard to fully enjoy your vacation while the thought of how your dog is doing lingers through your mind. Some things I will do to reassure you that your pup is in great care are: - I will send you two updates a day with pictures and videos. The first will be a mid-day update followed by an evening update on how the day went. (I can also adjust the amount of updates based on what you want) - They will receive 2-3 walks a day, depending on their individual needs and energy level. - During their stay, the dogs will have the freedom to roam and explore our home - just as they would in yours! - I’ll follow any specific caring instructions you have when it comes to feeding, sleeping, and playing. I, too, board my dog Rylie plenty of times and I only want to provide you with the best service you can get. I want to give what I would expect from my sitters! Please reach out to have your dog stay with us. I work from home and want to make use of my spare time to help other owners give their dogs the care they need in order to have the best time possible! Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns! I will do my best to response as fast as possible. Talk to you soon!
