Hello! I am a proud mommy of a twelve year old Schnauzer/terrier mix boy Mikey and a twelve year old female kitty - Ksenya (both rescued). I am a very experienced dog/cat owner (grew up having both all the time) as well as an experienced dog handler (volunteering at a pet shelter and doing some basic and advanced behavioral training, also just started workingat a doggy daycare). I live in Uptown across the street from from Lincoln Park and the lake. The neighborhood is pretty quiet and safe. Our walk route is always away from the busy streets and is usuallyin Lincoln Park. Ask me if You have any more questions - I will be happy to answer all of them. Why I love dog sitting I grew up having dogs in my family. Also I volunteer at Paws Chicago as a dog/cat handler and help with dog behavioral training. Update: I now have ran four Chicago Marathons and fundraised for Paws Chicago during all three. Running my fourth one this Fall.
