Dogs LOVE Me! The feeling is mutual

Pet care experience

First...I only serve Rogers Park for walks and drop-ins, as I love a small network and a community feeling. Boarding obviously does not apply. A meet up is required for first time boarders. We both need to feel comfortable with the care of your pet. I accept well-behaved dogs that are potty trained, can respond to simple commands, and do not display aggressive or anxious characteristics. Because I care for other animals outside the home, your dog needs to be able to be calmly alone up to 4 hours. When boarding please provide: Food Treats (pb, training treats, a Kong, if used) Poop bags Bed (optional) Toys Leash, collars and harnesses need to be intact and sturdy. I will not accept dogs that require shock or similar collars. As a former cat and dog owner and trained shelter volunteer, I have acted as walker/caregiver offering play-time, feeding, brisk walks and lots of love. I believe in happy dogs, kindness and treats. I also adore cats and can coax shy cats into saying hello. I've also cared for chickens, geese, alpacas, and llamas as a house sitter. You will find me trustworthy, reliable and a joyful person. You can count on me to care for your beloved dog or cat.

I included EVERYTHING Ana asked for in a bag. She claimed there was no harness. I was at my first day of work of a high stakes job. I had left her with contact details of neighbor in case she needed anything who had walked her 2 hours prior and had seen her (he was in the complex while she was there). I had given immaculate instructions about how to get in, where to find everything, general updates about my dog, and an emergency contact for emergencies/questions. After the walk I get the longesttt message at work starting off with it was the worst walk of her and my dog’s life. She claimed I failed to leave a harness; I sent a picture right when I got home of it and she accused me of lying. The message went on to say my dog was going to go blind and get neck injuries, puppies are hard, etc. Nonetheless she offered to continue to walk her. My dog has had manyyy pet sitters and not 1 complaint. My dog is incredibly smart and soo loving and social with all (Ana’s words); she does pull but it is completely manageable. I don’t get where they find dog walkers who literally hate walking dogs. The WORST part is my key is gone. That’s a point of vulnerability for me and I still don’t feel safe. I contacted Rover and they took a report and from there nothing has happened.

Ana is always very communicative and attentive. I can always count on Ana to give my pup 5 star care while I am away. Even when my pup had some tummy issues Ana was able to give her the medications she needed and attentive to her potty breaks!

My condo building is secure. We have a beach where dogs that like to swim, can, ( I am a stong swimmer in the event of an emergency), however, I will NEVER allow your dog to enter the water if you do not approve. With a park two blocks away from my home, there is plenty of grassy area to walk and get fresh air. Dogs will remain on leash at all times. In my home your pet(s) can relax on rug and/or snuggle on my bed. I will abide by the rules of your home when staying at yours.

We will definitely take an energetic walk, (unless your pal is a senior). We will both enjoy fresh air and smelling all the crazy scents. If you like to play ball, or have a tug game, please let me know. Or if permitted and time allows, we can walk on the beach and dip our toes or go for a swim.
