Pet care experience

Did someone say walk? Let's go!

I have worked with animals in various roles throughout the years, from working in a doggy daycare, to volunteering and fostering with various rescue organizations (OTAT, RWAR). I am experienced in senior pet care, administering medication, and some obedience training. I have a soft spot for brachycephalic breeds, and I owned and raised a Boston Terrier rescue dog for 12 years (RIP Batman 2009-2023). I currently own a mellow and submissive lab/husky mix, Henry, and a Maine Coon/Domestic Medium Hair cat, Tater Tot. Both get along with other animals.

Safety, trust & environment

I own a historic Victorian row home; it is 3 stories plus a basement and 2600 sq ft. My home is in the heart of the Historic Pullman District, on National Park Service land. My neighborhood is VERY safe, and my home is also down the street from the 005 District Police Station. My home has plenty of room to spare for your fur children. Not only that, I also have a 6 ft fully fenced yard. There is a dog park 3 blocks from my home, and I am in close proximity to several Forest Preserves. If baths are requested, bath lovers can enjoy baths in a jacuzzi tub, and bath tolerators will be bathed in a walk in shower with a double rainfall showerhead, and a handheld shower head for the hard to reach spots. I can offer pickup and dropoff for those without a car or time to spare, and dogs will be transported in a seatbelt for safety.

A typical day

Oh boy, where can we start? Well, I do have a fenced in yard for quick potty breaks. Then, I have a safe neighborhood to walk through, I live 3 blocks from a dog park, and I'm within close range of several Forest Preserves. I am also open to any activities a pet parent requests for me to entertain their animals.

If you can provide me with a heads up on any special needs or specific requests, I greatly appreciate the communication. I can handle animals with a bite history, as long as I'm informed on specific triggers (ex. toys, other animals). I can also handle providing medication to your animals. Please let me know if your pet has any allergies.
