About: Whether your pup needs a place that feels like home while you are out of town or a fun friend to stay with when you are off at work, you will find what you are looking for with me. As an Ex High school teacher, I know how to be patient and still set boundaries. I have been caring for dogs for about 14 years, and have experience with dogs of all sizes. I know how important reliability and consistency is for our four-legged loves. And I will give nothing but love and attention to your cherished friend. I am available to watch your dog in my home Monday through Friday and am around for sleepovers 7 days a week. I currently work part-time from home, so I have plenty of time and attention to lavish on your pup which is what I love to do. I have a fenced-in yard and the ability to give your special friend a lot of attention. I take oodles of pictures and document our walks, so you know your pup is having fun. I also write personalized texts from your furry companion throughout their visit.

18. Greg M.
About: I grew up having two dogs in my care for the last 25 years. Currently have two small dogs in my family. I know your animals are family and I will treat them with the best care. I am experienced with all sizes and ages. If your animal is high energy that is no issue I just left the active duty military and will be in the Berwyn, IL area for the next 3 months. Schedule is free all days of the week, just doing this to keep busy. Hours are very accommodating. During walks we will stick to quieter streets with less traffic, I keep my dogs on long retractable leashes but would prefer short leashes for service walks. Would love to take your dog on a one mile run to burn off energy if that is requested. Will send happy walk pictures via text. During drop ins I will require brief instructions you wish me to follow. Have no issue playing fetch or tug.
