Always on our way to the park
Pet care experience
I love to tell everyone we meet that Stan is the biggest baby you will ever meet. You would never expect that his best friend is roughly 100 lbs lighter than him but a little rat terrier named Fran is his K9 partner in crime. There has never been an instance where he doesn't want to go say hi to another pup on a walk or at the park, which is where you will be able to find us a at least twice a day. If there is a dog park or a forest preserve within 30 miles of home, I promise we have been there as we are both big suckers for hiking and sniffing every inch of Chicagoland we can. And as you probably can tell, we do everything together and enjoy an active lifestyle out of the apartment, but at home, Stan will be the first to tell you that it is time for naps, cuddles, and lots of head scratches. We love all dogs, all ages, all sizes so if you are looking for a sitter please feel free to reach out! Can't wait to hear from you.
Reviews
James is wonderful! He always communicates with me while he is watching Atlas. I would highly recommend!
So glad we found James before our trip! Bleu was very well cared for. James sent us pictures every day and even brought Bleu home. We will definitely use James again!
James is AWESOME. Our dog was less than perfect guest and he was kind and patient and understanding. He’s a pleasure to meet and to work with. If he’ll accept our pooch in his home again I’d gladly trust him with our big guy. Thank you James!!
James took great care of our dog, Angus! He sent pics and updates every day - he’s a good communicator. Our dog was happy and healthy when he returned. Highly recommended!

I have no breed preference and neither does my buddy Stanley. His best friend is a 5.5lb Terrier mix and he himself is roughly 100lbs! The biggest teddy bear (and perhaps the neediest) that you could ever lay eyes.
A typical day
There are tons and tons of dog friendly parks by my apartment! We are about a 5-10 minute from the Montrose Dog beach so your furry friend can get some more social time. Or if they enjoy a nice leisure walk through the park, or just exploring the neighborhood, my puppers Stan and I would love to have them tag along! You can expect your dog to get the right amount of exercise each and everyday, and when they are all pooped out (pun intended) there are plenty of human and doggie beds (and or couches) alike to rest their tired head(s). And of course plenty of ropes and other toys to keep them occupied if the weather is less than ideal. Our favorite thing to do is put our lake county forest preserve pass to use so if you have a dog that loves a good hike, we would be the perfect pair to call upon.
