Pet care experience
Most children are enamored with puppies and I was no different. I was three years old and was ecstatic when my parents adopted Mike, our one year old black lab. I was too young to handle most of the responsibilities that come with owning a pet but later learned how to raise and care for dogs when we went on to also adopt Emma. These dogs were not just pets—they were valued members of our family and we treated them as such. And I do the same for every pup that comes into my life! Caring for others (animals as well as people) is in my DNA and I express that part of myself in many ways. I find that creating meals for people is one outlet—I’m a chef by trade but I make my own schedule and it never interferes with my pet-sitting business. With permission, I also enjoy making homemade treats for the dogs I sit for! In my past, I worked at two boarding and training facilities, as well as a no-kill shelter in Denver, helping at-risk dogs. I worked hard to rehabilitate them, regaining trust lost through adverse experiences, in order to find them forever homes. I am now the proud papa of an eight year old Shiba mix named Killian, and returning to him after a long day has given me so much joy. He, like all dogs, is loyal to a fault, and constantly exudes love, affection and playfulness. He is the highlight of my day. And he loves other dogs! So when I board another pup in my home, he is always there to help make the dog feel at ease. As a person and in my business, I am transparent, light-hearted and giving. I am adaptable to change and can roll with varying levels of care and lifestyle needs. My communication style is very clear—I always, no matter what, provide updates and photos of every walk. If a dog is staying with me, I will give a recap of our day together as well. When you trust me with a member of your family, I don’t take it lightly and will do everything I can to ensure you are happy with my services.

Information Kevin B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know what you are looking for in a pet sitter, as well as a paragraph or two on your dog’s unique personality. I’d also like to know his/her usual activity level, dietary needs, regular schedule and anything else you think I’d need to know to provide the best care possible!
A typical day
I live in a spacious apartment on the north side of Chicago just blocks from the best beach park in the city! Rogers Park is perfect for walking because it offers ease of access to all of the city, with ample green space for dogs. I also have ample dog beds and a range of chew toys to keep dogs occupied when we have to stay indoors due to weather.
