Hi, we're Laura and Bryan and we love dogs! We are very patient and gentle with animals. I (Laura) owned a border collie (very smart!) and loved teaching her tricks and playing with her to satisfy her high mental and physical engagement needs. She also gave me plenty of experience with grooming upkeep! I am an artist who works from home during the week, and in the gallery on weekend afternoons. Bryan is home during those times and works from home most weekdays as well. Our apartment is across the street from the beautiful Humboldt Park, so it is a wonderful area to walk and play. We have cats, so your dog will need to be friendly with kitties. We only watch one dog at a time, unless the dogs are from the same household or already friends who play together. We have watched pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! Aside from dog-sitting, Laura loves to read and Bryan loves playing music. We met while traveling and both enjoy exploring. We were brought together further by our love of animals! We'd be happy to add your dog to our little family for however long they need care. If you have any other questions about us, please reach out.
