Highlights
Pet care experience
I love making new furry friends!
Hello all! I am a kind, compassionate, enthusiastic, animal lover. I have many years of experience house-sitting and pet-sitting in my hometown of Barrington, IL, dog-walking at a rescue shelter in college at UVM, and now dog-walking and pet-sitting for a living in Chicago. I love all breeds of cats and dogs and am open to spend as much or as a little time with your pet(s) as needed. I am always eager to take a dog out to a dog park to allow it to have as much fun and expel as much energy as possible. I also love to take a few moments at home to give a belly rub or cuddle. look forward to help ease your mind in the midst of our hectic lives.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I typically stay near the door when I enter a home and allow the pet to come greet me. I get low and offer my hand and speak in a low, calming tone to be sure they feel safe approaching me. If I’m caring for a cat and they don’t come to greet me, I’ll do a lap around the house to find them. I always take the same, slow approach when introducing myself to establish trust. I love all animals and want them to feel respected and cared for during my stay.

Schedule
I am currently working part-time and am sure to schedule check-ins before or after my work day with plenty of time to care for the animal. On days off, I’m always willing to give pets extra time and attention given my flexibility.
