Highlights
Pet care experience
A trusted duo for your best friend
Hi! We’re Shelby and Ben — a dependable, animal-loving duo who treat every dog like family. Between the two of us, we bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. We’ve cared for puppies who need structure and patience, senior dogs who require a gentler touch, and high-energy breeds that thrive on long walks, playtime, and consistency. Having two caregivers means more flexibility, more attention, and built-in backup — your dog is never rushed or left without care. We’re attentive to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and special instructions, and we pride ourselves on clear communication and regular updates so you always feel confident while you’re away. Whether your dog loves adventure or prefers quiet companionship, we adjust our care to match their personality and needs. Our goal is simple: provide safe, loving, and reliable care so you can travel worry-free and your dog feels right at home.

Ratings and reviews
Always a good sign when my dog is following Shelby and Ben with her eyes as we drive away after pickup. Super nice couple and I can tell she was well taken care of. Book with confidence and peace of mind.
Just the best! We love Shelby and Ben and are so grateful for the care they provide.
Shelby and Ben are super friendly and took great care of Tater Tot! They communicated well beforehand and sent daily updates and pictures, which definitely put me at ease during my work trip. Would certainly recommend!
Shelby and Ben took a such great care of our dog while we were gone for a week! They kept Tugboat comfortable and feeling safe despite the July 4th fireworks. They have a nice large apartment and balcony so it was a perfect stay for our pup. Highly recommend!
Wonderful experience in every way! Mature kind sitters we have used multiple times and will use again!
Our 3 year old Bernese loves Shelby! Thanks for helping us out.

Schedule
Pet care fits very naturally into our day. One of us works from home, so there’s almost always someone around to give dogs attention, let them out, go for walks, or just keep them company throughout the day. Because we’re home so much, we can easily stick to your dog’s routine — whether that’s frequent potty breaks, playtime, meals, or extra cuddles. Having two of us also means more flexibility and extra help, so no dog is ever rushed or left alone for long. We truly enjoy having dogs as part of our everyday routine and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We live in Greek town/ west loop area right next to a great park with lots of green space and dog friends. We tend to stay away from dog parks to ensure full safety in our care.
A typical day
A typical day with us is relaxed, structured, and centered around your dogs needs. We like to stay active so we love going on plenty of walks and having plenty of play time inside. Since one of us works from home your buddy gets plenty of attention throughout the day.
