About Gold Coast Tails
Your dog isn't just another face in the crowd. They're family. And sometimes they need a little extra attention, away from the chaos of group walks and noisy kennels.That's where I step in. Think of me as your dog's BFF.My care isn’t transactional; it’s a symbiotic relationship built on mutual respect, trust, and wagging tails where dogs feel safe, understood, and joyful.Whether your older dog needs gentle walks around the block, your high-energy companion needs someone to match their pace, or your reserved dog just wants familiar company while you're gone, I adapt to what makes each dog comfortable.Peace of mind matters, which is why I'm insured and background-checked, with references available upon request. I also serve as the dog care provider for guests of the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago as well as the Park Hyatt Chicago.My philosophy? Keep it simple. No cookie-cutter approaches, no packed schedules; just focused, one-on-one care that puts your dog's happiness first.Ready to provide your dog with personalized care? I serve Chicago's Gold Coast, Old Town, Streeterville, River North, Lakeshore East, and nearby areas.Fun fact: I was formerly a Getty Images photographer, capturing a wide array of celebrity moments.
