* During the Covid-19 outbreak I will accept animals for walking or home visits for those who must be away to care for ill family members. If you require another service please contact me and explain your situation. I will work with people when I can. My home is the safer and more friendly alternative to kenneling. I'm a teacher, insurance agent, and resident of Edgewater. I’ve decided that dogs are better company than anyone I’ve met on Tinder so far, and buying them dinner is cheaper and they’re more grateful anyhow. Your dog will have the option to participate in a variety of safe, on-leash activities appropriate for their energy level and physical ability around Edgewater's parks, beaches, and Loyola's campus. Whether short or long walks, chasing rabbits, or jumping in the lake - we'll play hard, eat hard, and sleep hard. Your dog will have the same quality of care mine did over their long lives. I don't put pets in risky situations such as letting them off leash or tying them up outside of stores. In the event of a medical emergency I have a car and access to the veterinarian of your choosing. Pick up and drop off times and locations are flexible. I understand running late due to factors beyond your control. If you ask me for a 1am pickup because you want to day drink longer by the pool in Vegas and catch a redeye flight that’s fine, but you’re bringing me something from Vegas. Buy it after you’re tipsy so it’s more expensive. ;-) Occasional bathroom accidents are part of the pet ownership experience, but please provide a kennel if your dog is NOT reliably house trained. Please provide: food, bedding, and toys as necessary. I don't charge for baths - if we jump in the lake and make a mess we'll clean up and hide the evidence before you get back.
