About: I've been a professional pet sitter since 2001. Currently my wife and I own a home in South Chicago, although most of my clients live in Hyde Park. I've been taking care of dogs in the Hyde Park area since college. I went to the University of Chicago. After school I managed a West Loop Doggie Daycare and Kennel. In 2006, I began working for myself and have maintained that as my only source of income. In that time I've cared for all types of dogs, from very old to very young and everything in between. I can also offer services to variety of temperaments and training stages. If we are a fit, my wife and I have two dogs, two cats, and 8 fishes who will be happy to meet you. I also offer training, doggie playgroups, and walks for clients in the area. I'm a full time pet sitter, so dogs will go out at least 5 times a day in a fence and secure yard and will not be left unattended. Dogs will generally spend the day with me and my dogs. I will separate them if I have to leave but generally that won't be for more than a few hours.

About: I've had dogs my whole life growing up & started pet care in 2016- 2017 I love to help others & provide the best care for my clients. I love animals, all of them i dont discriminate against ANY breed. We have a loving but shy Pitbull. SHE WILL NOT BE HOME WHEN I DO DAY CARE FOR YOUR ANIMAL AT MY HOME.(UNLESS YOU WANT HER TO BE) (( even though she Absolutely LOVES other dogs)) ) i like to provide one on one care to focus on your fur babies. I have transportation also so that's not an Issue. This is what I enjoy doing, most ppl don't like work, but I love it its also great exercise for all of us. I'm energetic when I need to be and if your dog wants to take it slow if they're older that's totally fine I will adapt to any of your pets preferences/needs. I get along with animals so well they are my bestfriends. They are in great hands. I'm currently working part-time & I pick my own days/hours work schedules so I'm very flexible. Same day pet care jobs are acceptable also. I love to be available for your fur babies. IMPORTANT INFO. ( When i care for you animals, my dog is not around, unless you want her to be ) i come to clients home to provide exceptional care. Your preferences and expectations will be respected and met at all times. I will provide care the way you prefer when you request. We have a huge fenced in yard with 7ft tall wooden fences. Your pets are safe with me anytime.
