I am reliable, flexible, fun-loving, and enjoy exercise (I am happy to run with your dog). I have been watching dogs of all sizes for about 10 years and have also taken care of cats. I will send updates & pictures to owners frequently, but do not feel obligated to respond! I'm a dog owner myself (my dog is with my parents in california until April), so I know how important it is to receive pictures & videos of your animals. I am available for long-term stays while you escape the Chicago winter- not just weekend trips. I work full-time at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in the West Loop. I am available for overnight stays anywhere in the City of Chicago. For weekday overnight stays, I'd preferably like to be in west loop/downtown to be close to work so I can walk your pup during the day. I typically have a very flexible schedule/can work from home so other neighborhoods could work for weekday stays as well. With the owner's approval, I've even taken a Rover dog to work with me! I'm between apartments for the month of March and will be staying with my grandpa in Evanston, so discounting my services so I can also be in the city some nights this month. I will collect mail, deliveries, water plants, or anything else you might need done while you are away. And (obviously) leave your place clean!
