Animal Loving Northwestern Grad!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m currently a recent grad from Northwestern University with a love for all animals, whether they are big or small, young or old. I’ve been around dogs for my entire life, but I started caring for them myself when I was about 10 years old when our family dog (a senior boxer named Tucker) fell ill and needed care while my parents worked. After he passed, we rescued a Lapinporokoira (a large herder dog weighing about 70 lbs) named Jake who is about 10 years old now. In 2018, we also rescued a boxer puppy named Lucy who is about 3 now. Although I’ve cared for mostly larger dog breeds throughout my life, I also love small dogs and have experience caring for Pomeranians specifically (thanks to my Aunt’s adorable baby Tazzy). Within the past two years, we’ve also adopted two cats: a gray tabby named Ginny, and an American Bobtail named Tiger. I’ve loved every second we’ve had with these precious babies. Although having a full house of animals can sometimes be a bit chaotic and challenging, I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

We were very pleased to have Adoria look after our cat Clio. She took care of food water and medicine without a problem, and sent great photo updates. We had a slight mix up at the beginning but it was resolved very quickly. We would have Adoria come visit Clio again!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m pretty adaptable when it comes to caring for pets with different needs and personalities. I can walk and feed pets as many times a day as needed. I’m also experienced in caring for both puppies and senior dogs (and dogs with health issues/illness). I can wash your fur babies and crate them if needed. If your pet enjoys attention, I also love to give cuddles and plenty of belly rubs to keep them happy.

Information Adoria R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dog’s age and any dietary restrictions or specifics needs they have. I’d also like to know if your pet is more or less affectionate, their energy levels (if they’d need more or less stimulation), and if they have any behavioral issues or things to look out for (ex: if they have trouble around new people or other animals, if they have a tendency to chew on or eat things they shouldn’t, etc.).

A typical day

I love to play fetch and take dogs on walks/jogs with me! I’d love to take them to get a pup cup from the nearest Starbucks/ice cream shop too!
