Highlights
Pet care experience
Keep your best friend in good hands
I live in Chicago’s Northwest just outside of O’hare with my 7 year old Boston Terrier-Boxer named Lilly, whom I’ve had since she was 7 weeks old. Before Lilly, I grew up with 2 dogs, both small and large, along with several cats and other pets. I have gone through professional dog training with all 3 of our dogs, most recently with my own puppy. I have always been a dog lover at heart and love taking care of pets. I have dog sat for several of my friends over the years, and I have taken care of dogs ranging from miniature pinschers to Great Danes. I believe in positive reinforcement training and never any punishment, physical harm or yelling. Currently I have open availability as I’m Working as a caregiver to a senior friend. I take all request/rules very seriously when responsible for others’ pets. I am able to travel up to about 5 miles via the CTA and if I have my car, I’m able to drive.

Safety, trust & environment
My pets always have fresh water in a clean bowl, and clean food bowls typically fed twice a day with treats throughout. I learned that pets do better eating when you eat, so I’ve taken on that habit.
Ratings and reviews
I have worked side by side with Dillin on many occasions. Every event was executed with precision to detail, very well organized, and most importantly he always maintains a positive, friendly demeanor. He is not afraid to get his hands dirty. Does everything with a smile and no compliants. I would trust Dillin with any of my pets.
Dillin is wonderful with pets. Having a dog of his own and having watched/walked my dog on a number of occasions, I would recommend him and trust him to do a great job!
Dillin is an amazing, dog loving person. His number one priority is well being and safety of the dog. He’s a dog owner himself and his dog Lilly is always so cheerful and happy around him. He’s a very gentle person that knows how to keep the dog entertained and happy! Highly recommend!!!
Dillin can best be described as a Dog Whisper. My dog can best be described as having unique needs and a bit sassy, but she loves Dillin. He always kept me updated on the time he spent with her, if she ate her food and the business she did outside. You can tell he dogs and they sent that love right back to him.
Dillin is a wonderful pet owner and diligent care taker! He loves being active with pets and lives in an area that is great for long walks and exploring. You can tell he loves his pup so much and would do anything for her! I would recommend him for any dog walking/sitting needs.
Dillin was my supervisor at one of my internships and was one of the most kind, compassionate, and understanding people. Not only was he a great boss, but he is an amazing puppy father to his own dog and has taken care of my furry friends (both cats and dogs) as well. There is nobody more I’d recommend to be a dog walker than Dillin!

Schedule
I currently have open availability and I like to say I work 11-11, but can take on earlier clients as needed. I am usually running a little late, but I will try to be more punctual!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsDillin can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
- My dog used to have a problem with urinary tract infection which she grew out of, this meant wiping excess urine after going pee. Luckily as she got older and grew more body fat she grew out of this. We also take little sprints on the sidewalk to Grind down her nails. I can handle any unique request with your pet, I’ve experienced quite a lot of them!
