A girl who has a soft spot for dogs

I have lived with dogs my whole life. I have grown up with big dogs and small dogs. I have volunteered at PAWS in Tinley Park for a summer before starting college freshman year. During college, I joined a club where we work close to raise money for shelters in the area while volunteering for local shelters. My love for dogs goes deep and I will treat them like they are my own. I will spend as much time that I can with them and make sure they get enough exercise and care that the dog(s) require. I'm open to come multiple times during the ***At the moment I am not accepting repeating daily dog walks or drop in visits during the week as my schedule is full from morning to afternoons. I’m sorry. **Please also request at least a week in advance otherwise I might not be able to do a meet and greet.

Dana was extremely attentive and caring for our very reactive Miley! She kept in touch the entire time! I definitely will use her again!

Dana was great with our Marvel. She kept us updated and sent pics while we were out of town. He has bad separation anxiety and in the past has been a very different dog after being boarded. However, he was excited to meet Dana and after our trip it was easy to see that he enjoyed Dana’s company.

Excellent. Would highly recommend Dana. I am a very fussy fur- mommy and my dogs have a lot of quirks. Dana was attentive to all of the requests. My dogs were well taken care of. Will definitely use her again.

Dana did a wonderful job while staying with our dogs! We came home & they were rested, happy, and on schedule. I would definitely recommend her in the future and will be sure to use her again:)

Schedule

I currently work full time during week, but will not be gone for more than seven to nine hours depending on the week. When I’m house sitting, I don’t make plans outside of work if I don’t need to so I’m spending as much time with your dog as possible.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

Dana can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
What is their schedules, if they need any medication or special treatment. Just the basics really and what makes the dog comfortable when I’m there.
