About: I’m a stay-at-home dog mom with a variety of pet sitting experience. Dogs in my care will get plenty of affection and attention until they are ready to be reunited with their person. My daily routine with my own doggo consists of outside play and long walks at Grant Park. Plenty of time to devote to your pup while in my care. I have a dog friendly home with a fenced yard and a carpet steamer just in case there is an accident. I take my dog out for a long walk each day, sometimes two when the sun is shining. The main floor of my home has room to play in case it’s raining and we need to get some energy out of your pup. I also have plenty of toys, snuffle mats, and food/treat toy puzzles to keep your pup mentally engaged.
“Matt has been very reliable and communicative for daily walks with my dog. He paid attention to what was important to me as an owner and let me know of any changes in my dogs routine or behavior. I definitely recommend him to anyone needing a walker.”
About: Hi there, my name is Bella and I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet! Whether it is a drop-in or a prolonged stay, I will make sure your pet(s) is full and happy. Before spending one-on-one time with your pet, I like to meet owners and their pets to ensure comparability! As a pet owner myself, I understand the responsibilities and needs both dogs and cats require. We would go on walks and spend some time outside getting exercise! In spite of the fact that I have two wonderful cats, I enjoy the company of dogs very much. I have experience looking after a Corgi, cats/kittens, and a Great Dane! Pet care is part of my daily routine! Making sure my/the pets are relaxed and taken care of is of most importance. I’ll treat your pet as if it were my own. Making sure to follow instructions if given and that the pet is fulfilled. Making sure your pet is happy and comfortable is important to me
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since the age of 10. I have experience with all sizes of dogs of varied temperaments. I have raised several puppies and have good experiences with senior dogs. I have a calming and nurturing personality and will honor your dogs routines and your rules around their care. I will be very mindful of your dogs temperament. Some need more space and some are very cuddly. I’m retired from a 30 year career as an Occupational Therapist, specializing in elderly care with patients in their homes and skilled nursing facilities. My schedule is very flexible! I have a fenced yard and a friendly small dog. My routine is walking my dog in the early morning and again in the evening. We visit Fernhill dog park 2 times per week. He loves lots of cuddles. He is allowed on the bed and furniture. He gets along with other dogs and likes to play if your dog is up for this. He just turned six. My dog sitting experience has been limited to my home only. I’m motivated to start building a business that I imagine Ioving. I’m easily able to build trustworthy relationships. I’m communicative and can keep in touch with you as often as you like while you’re away. Happy to meet with you to help make you and your dog feel more comfortable.
