Hi! My name is Troy. I am an attorney who works from home most days, and I love to help others by watching their dogs if they need to travel. I have three kids and so I am very reliable when it comes to being organized and caring for others (including pets!) When I was younger, I had a poodle, golden retriever, and a scottish terrier when I was younger. I have also helped watch my friends' dogs more recently. I have experience with terriers, herding dogs, golden retrievers, poodles, and labs. I am definitely a dog person -- I have been known to get on the floor to play with dogs and kids alike! I will ask for your rules & preferences when it comes to caring for your dog and will follow those when your dog is in my home. For example, if you want the dogs off furniture, I will follow that. If you allow it, then I allow it! I live in a townhouse in River Forest on a great tree-lined street where lots of folks walk dogs. I also have a small front yard where your dog might get some extra time to play outside as long as it's nice outside (and I am there to supervise). Thank you for your consideration, and if you have questions, please ask!!
