Everyone calls me Grandma Dee

Pet care experience

Hi everyone : I have had dogs all my life and now that I'm retired I'm looking to spend my free time doing something I love. Im Not looking for a full time job but flexible. Always wanted a bulldog my favorite breed so if you have one let me spoil him/her. l have alot of patience and love for animals .I was born in Waukegan still live in my hometown and attend same church since birth. My children are raised successful in life and I have one grandson who is 26 of whom I'm very proud of. I have retired from real estate as a broker for 27 years in the Waukegan area and previously had a beauty salon for over 20 years so I'm a people person. Feel free to ask any questions or concerns you might have.

I have a dog with several medical problems and can be fearful of others. She loves staying with Dee

Dee took incredible care of our little guy and made him feel at home! She was great at communicating updates and sending pictures throughout his stay. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing Louie was so well cared for. I will definitely reach out to her next time the need arises!

Dee is incredibly responsive and reliable. She was warm and welcoming at the meet and greet and again when we dropped off Stella at Dee's home. It was nice to get consistent communication and photos while were away, and we appreciate that Dee gave Stella so much attention.
