I currently work full time remotely as well as attending LLCC full time online, even still prioritizing my dog since he’s my world. My world revolves around his! I walk him for at least 2 miles a day already! I’m already a super active and motivated person due to my own dog’s high maintenance needs!

I currently actually only offer doggy check ins, and walks! Sorry for anybody’s Inconvenience! To ensure pets care on walks I always carry a water bottle full of water, treats, and toys to accompany your dog on their walk! If asked we can even work on outside training! During my time with your animals are my number one priority.

Information Anthony O. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any needs, or if you have any concerns just message me! I’m always willing to go above and beyond for any fur baby!

A typical day

I am a huge lover of a well balanced day of mental stimulation and exercise to achieve my dogs drive! We love to go for long walks, swimming, hiking on trails as well! We love to go through Memoiral Gardens/Riverside park to be out and about when we’re not found walking at Lincoln Park!

Pet care experience

I currently have a Corgi/Australian Shepherd! His names Theodore, and he’s 4 years old! I’ve been taking care of animals since I was young! I’ve had everything between bunnies and hermit crabs to my current Shepherd. I’m more than willing to help with training and everything along those lines as well. I can also teach commands in German/French as well! I can do just about anything you may need/require! I am also a licensed cosmetologist and can also tend to your dogs coat unlike any other!

Anthony continues to take such good care of my girls! He’s always giving me updates and sending pictures! He will always be my top choice when choosing a dog sitter!

Anthony is so attentive and wonderful with my dogs! My older dog has some health concerns and he is able to care for her with no problems. I feel so at ease leaving for a trip knowing my dogs are in his care! He has puppy sat for me twice now and I will continue to book him!

I was absolutely adored the brief yet thorough notes Anthony would post on the Rover cards for my two fur babies after each drop-in; as an anxious pet-owner it really kept me at ease and it was nice reading the little adventures they would get up to. I was quite pleasantly shocked as no one had done this before. He even kept the house tidy if there were any accidents or naughty chewed areas. As well as took the initiative to put on some doggie music so they didn’t feel so alone. He was pleasant and professional, yet empathetic and personal all at the same time which I greatly appreciated. Will definitely be using Anthony again in the future and I recommend you do, too!
