Prepare For Snuggles!
Pet care experience
Prepare for Snuggles ... And make it double! My husband and I are long time dog lovers. I've previously worked in a pet hotel and successfully took the family pet through puppy school. My husband, Kevin is a top-notch A+ snuggler. (I'm no slouch either.) I've got the training, he's got the pets. We're a pretty great team. We live in a 1 bed in Uptown, so unfortunately giant dogs would be very cramped. Kevin works from home, so your pup would never be alone and have ample access to walks. Most of our past puppy visitors love to curl up next to Kevin's desk and nap. We're mostly homebodies, but we love a good walk. We live pretty close to the lakefront and when it's nice, we go hang out there. We love movies, watching sports and laying on the couch.
Reviews
This is a little late but Julie and her husband were AMAZING!!! We had to go to a friends wedding out of the country and all of our friends who normally watch our little fur baby were going too so we were stuck. We have a small 7 year old Lhasa Apso who we find to be very charming and until this time she had only been left with good friends or family. We were very nervous to leave her and felt terrible but Julie and her husband put us at ease the very first day we dropped her off. Julie distracted her perfectly with treats and toys as we made a sneaky exit. The rest of the day and our vacation was filled with photos and updates, more than we expected!! We could tell from her picture poses she was very comfortable at their house and was treated like part of the family. Thanks to the photos and updates we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our pup was in good hands and happy! Julie and her husband took excellent care of our dog and we would gladly use them again!!! THANK YOU BOTH!!!!!
Julie and Kevin were beyond fantastic. First, we had a meet-and-greet at their place to make sure it was a match. Then, during the stay, they sent me tons of pictures and updates - it was obvious my pooch was getting some serious love and attention. Then, when my flight got delayed due to bad weather, they really went the extra mile to make sure she continued to have food and loving company - even though they had no obligation to do so. I could not be more grateful!
She is great! My cat was doing well at her place!
Julie and Kevin went above and beyond to take the best care of our tiny senior pup. They were proactive about asking questions that would help him be more comfortable during his stay, and they were patient with his little quirks as they got to know each other. Plus, they sent multiple daily updates (plus adorable pictures!) to keep me up-to-date on how his stay was going. We will absolutely be booking another stay with them in the future!

Information Julie G. would like to know about your pet
Meet and Greets are required for any new booking. It's important that you meet us and we meet you and your dog before we book anything. We would like to know your dog's exercise schedule. For doggies that need multiple high-energy workouts a day, we wouldn't be the best fit. We do a lot of playing and walking, but that suits medium and low energy pups the best. We would also like to know your dog's health situation. There are no restrictions on this, just like to be informed if there are medicines your dog needs.
A typical day
We love taking walks around the neighborhood. We're a 10 minute walk from the lake, so on nice spring and summer days, we like to walk up to Montrose Harbor and back. In the winter, we do multiple short walks.
