Dog Walking Chatham

About: I have up to a eight years of experience taking care of animals. The most known being cats, dogs, birds, and some farmlife. I also have experience in grooming regarding bathing dogs and cats. This is something I am currently working toward furthering my career in. I am currently unemployed, although I am working on getting a job. I care for two cats at home full time as well as the occasional care of my roommate's pet skink. I have a 7 year old and an 8 month old who is sometimes a full-time job himself. I currently live in an apartment so I do not offer care at my home due to my lease not allowing it. However, within the home of my client I try to keep a common eye on the animals, making sure they are fed, have water, and if required the litterbox/bathroom is done whenever they need it.

“Sharett was great with my little terrier Jazz. Normally she doesn’t warm up to people right away but she did to Sharett. She was also very flexible and understanding of my crazy work schedule and last minute changes. Sherrett will keep you informed and updated on your pet and you can tell she has a genuine passion for animals. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: I have experience with dogs with anxiety who use medication, needy/clingy dogs, and dogs with disabilities. I am extremely thorough and patient in case something goes wrong with them and I maintain a calm demeanor at all times. When it comes to instructions, please provide a brief, detailed description of your pet's daily routine and I'll follow it to the letter. I'm currently a graduate student at CSU; summers are a slow period for me. I am more than willing to babysit pets for as many nights, walks, feeding times as needed. During school time I will do walks, feeding visits and the occasional overnight weekend stay. I am committed to your pet's comfort level and will adapt to their schedule to the best of my ability. I will spoil them rotten because I absolutely love all dogs and cats of all shapes and mannerisms. Even if they hate me. If I am confused about anything regarding your pet's behavior, such as licking paws, over-grooming, an increase in urination, I will let you know about it as soon as I see it. I also LOVE talking to the pets so I will have full-on conversations with them. I'm especially good with repeat visits so if you are interested in having a one-time sitter for the next few years, I'm MORE than willing to take up that responsibility. Familiarity is very important with pets and as mentioned before, I am focused on the pet's comfort.

About: It’s all about honoring the autonomy of each animal when building a bond plus providing them a safe and nurturing place to live and be while away from home. I am a Full-Time PET SITTER in Chicago running a cat sanctuary where our pet guests become a member of a loving family right away. We provide a healthy and safe space where pets are always free to roam plus enjoy the amenities of individual cat houses, window gazing, and human play.

About: I’ve worked at multiple dog hospitals and dog daycares and have taken care of dogs my entire life whether it’s my own or a family members. I go through it with the thought in mind that the dog needs to do everything before me so I’m more focused on making sure the dogs get what they need food,bathroom,ect. I go through a whole routine of waking up in the morning and letting the dogs out to go to the bathroom and then bringing them back in to eat and I’ll repeat that at noon and around 7 or 8pm for dinner.

“Coretta is reliable, professional and friendly responds quickly even to last minute requests. My dog loves her.”

About: I think the best way to connect with pets is to give them as much time and love as possible. I like to figure out what each dog needs out of the walk. Some dogs don’t need a really log walk all the time. And some dogs need to build up how long they can go. Let me figure out what your dog needs exactly. I also like to take them to doggy parks to see other dogs. If they don’t like it all good we can just play with there favorite toys and cuddle. Also when staying the night they will have a good amount of space. I live in and apartment which I know isn’t the most spacious but most of the day we would be out .
