Information Steven R. would like to know about your pet

It is important that your dog likes us and is happy with the services we provide. Does your dog prefer a routine schedule or are they flexible and eager to explore and play? Is there anything special that your dog loves that will make his/her day (usual walk, games, toys, etc)? What's your dog's personality, and how does he/she get along with other animals and people?

A typical day

We will go outside 5–6 times a day, so your pet will get plenty of fresh air, walks, and exercise. There are also several nearby dog parks for additional playtime.

Pet care experience

Every dog has a unique personality - just like people. As a balanced Libra, I’m equally comfortable with playful, high-energy pups and calmer, more reserved companions. My wife and I are experienced dog owners who have cared for dogs of all sizes, from tiny teacup Terriers to large Beabulls. We live in a dog-friendly apartment just north of the Chicago River, and because we both work from home, your dog will receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Our evenings are relaxed, and weekends are spent enjoying neighborhood strolls and long walks along the river. We’d love the opportunity to get to know both you and your dog - and hopefully become great friends along the way.

This was my best pal's second time with Steven. She was excited to see him so that put me at ease right away... I spent all afternoon and late into the evening trying to get home. Flight delays and changed flights. Steven couldn't have been more kind and understanding. Extremely reassuring after a long travel day. Thanks to Steven!

We are repeat clients of Steven. Steven is responsive and we feel so comfortable knowing he is watching our girl when we are away. We experienced a flight delay and were grateful that Steven could accommodate a later-than-scheduled pickup. Comfort and peace of mind are priceless. Thank you Steven!!
