Your Loved One's Second Home

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Maria and my boyfriend’s name is Dorian. I am a vet tech and have worked at an animal hospital for the past 7 years. We are located in the South Loop on Wabash Avenue. We know how important pets are to you, they are part of your family. We will treat all pets as if our own. Your best friend needs and deserves exercise, care and attention. We both grew up with dogs, and cats. While we are not ready for a dog of our own yet, we love taking care of them and having them stay in our home. We have experience watching dogs of all sizes as well as cats and really enjoy getting to know each unique personality. We do not have a yard but live 2 blocks away from Grant Park and Dearborn Park. We are also 10 minutes away from Grant Bark Park (dog park).

Outstanding, unique and incredible petsitter, Maria and Dorian are our saviors, we couldn't find anyone that could take care of my dog because of his diabetes, many people cancel at the last day before our trip, but we found them and we feel like the luckiest people. They are extremely attentive and flexible , our dog is pretty difficult to take care because he is sick and they handle it perfectly , would come back every time, thanks again guys, you are the best!
