Pet care experience

Big Dogs, Big Heart

Dogs have a been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've had the honor and privilege of caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including a MINI SCHNAUZER GREAT DANE ST BERNARD and a PIT BULL MIX. I also have been providing care in my neighborhood for fellow friends and pooches, giving me a variety of experience with different breeds, temperaments, and routines. What sets me apart is that I understand the dogs are FAMILY. Every dog has their own personality, comfort level, and needs, I enjoy taking the time to build trust and make them feel safe and comfortable while you are away. I'm especially comfortable with larger breeds and high-energy dogs. Having lived with big dogs. I understand the importance of patience , structure, exercise and affection. Walks, playtime, chilling on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I'll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I have a quiet dog friendly first floor garden apartment with a fenced in yard and patio where yo durog can feel comfortable and at home.

I was so grateful for Steven’s last minute availability. He made my pup feel comfortable and at home. She’s eager to head back soon. Thanks for the updates, Steven! Your home is so easy to navigate to. I appreciate you!

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where dogs can relax and feel like part of the family. Having cared for dogs of many sizes and personalities, including large breeds, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, routine, and trust. I live in Bucktown, and though my residence has a fenced in yard, the area is so dog friendly I have a treat box outside for when they walk by. Several parks, including dog parks, are also within walking distance. The yard allows for plenty of room to play or relax. My last pooch Buddy would lay back there and sun tan. I take the time to learn each dog's personality, routine, feeding schedule, and individual needs so they receive care that feels like home.
