I always had a love and appreciation for animals. As a child, I began volunteering at my local animal shelter. I've been the animal caretaker for my local preschool animals (bunnies, gerbils, etc) as well as my local ecology center (reptiles, ferrets, you name it). I've volunteered for years at local animal shelters with dogs & cats. I have experience with a plethora of animals & I'm comfortable with all breeds. I have experience raising both puppies & kittens. I pet sit for all of my friends (currently have a Persian on my lap), so I figured I could also do it as a side job. I'm currently home every day, if I'm not for any reason, my partner (who is also an animal lover) will be. Our apartment is cozy and in a great neighborhood for walks (very close to Washington Park). We do not do any dog parks for liability reasons. I'm flexible & will adhere to any rules you set for your pets. Happy to bathe, walk, feed, and board for multiple days.
