Walking & sniffing & lounging

Jan 2026 update: Our availability continue to be limited as most are reserved for our local rescue Second City and existing clients. Please feel free to reach out if you have a request but don’t see any availability. Wishing you peace and good health ❤️ March 2023 update: We had said goodbyes to our most beloved Ryan dog. For all of you who have been through lost, we now understand you and cry with you. We will slowly open up our schedule possibly starting summer time. You’ll see Ryan showing up in most of our photos and descriptions of our dog care style. We are just not ready to go through it and edit any yet… Thank you for understanding :) Hi! Thank you for stopping by. My name is Xu, my partner Sam and our little senior dog Ryan welcome you to our profile. We love going for walks in the neighborhood and nearby forest preserves, and some days we just lounge and sunbathe at home. I would love for your dog to join us! I believe positive reinforcement is the only way to train a dog, maybe we'll try some clicker training if your dog is interested. Ryan is an 13(ish)-year-old brindle 17 pounder. Ryan is very friendly with other doggies, no matter big or small! He likes to go for long walks, sniff around, greet other people and dogs, do some tricks to get yummy snacks, and sunbathe!

Awesome. My pup was happy even though he needed some extra care due to his age. Lots of pics and updates. Thank you so much!

Xu and Sam were absolutely wonderful. We left our senior girl with them for the weekend and couldn’t have picked a better home. They truly took care of her like she was their own.

Schedule

We will be spending plenty of time by your dog's side as we will be home the entire time. Ryan the dog usually lounge throughout the day when he is inside the house. We will be sending plenty photos and videos updates and keeping an open line of communication.

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a dog-friendly Townhouse next to a forest preserve for walkies! Ryan is very quiet and will not get in your dog's business. If your dog does not enjoy "parallel play" and need a play partner, Ryan is not going to be a good fit. We host dogs from only one household at a time, unless everyone meets and agree to each other prior to the stay :)

Pets

A typical day

We usually go for a 30-min walk early morning taking care of business, lounge around the house during the day with potty breaks as needed, and go to the forest preserve or dog park in the afternoon. Depening on the day and how Ryan feels, we spend anywhere between 30 mins to a couple of hours out there. Ryan is not much into running anymore nowadays, but if your dog is I would love to go for a run together!

All dogs are good dogs and I want your dog to have a good time here. If your dog does not enjoy "parallel play" and need a dog play partner, Ryan is not a good fit as he is a senior dog now and likes to be left alone :P If your dog is aggressive towards another dog and need to be hosted alone, we will not be a good fit obviously due to our residential senior Mr. Ryan.
