Pup-Lover/Dog-Runner/Ball-Thower

Pet care experience

I love being outside and I adore animals. My friends recently moved from downtown Chicago to the Wisconsin countryside and are raising all sorts of pups and barnyard fur/feather-kids, and I'm insanely jealous - I want more animals in my life! I'm no longer with my beloved Corgi "Rafa," who I raised from 7 weeks until 10 years old. I miss him a ton and would love to have new fur kids in my life! Other than that, I have cared for my family's dogs growing up (terriers, a notoriously stubborn breed) and have cared for other family/friend's pets over the years. I'm gentle and kind and have a calming presence around all breeds, and I'm well versed in administering medication and adhering to training regimens when necessary. I'm the person the shy pooches approach and love, and I'd love to give your kid(s) pets and love since I'm now without mine. I'd love to be an overnight sitter as well. My hours are very flexible! Thanks in advance for your consideration!!

I've know Emily for well over a decade now, and she is one of the kindest, most giving persons I've ever met. She smart, funny, intuitive, a problem solver and an overall good person and friend. And that's just when it comes to humans... IMAGINE what she's like with the Animal Kingdom! She's an adoring mother Rafa, a Welsh Corgi whom she's wonderful with... Fawning over his stubby legs, making sure his needs are met at all times and keeping him in check if he tries any monkey business. I would highly recommend Em to any person looking for a dog-sitter or dog-walker. She's infinitely patient and respectful of all pups and would be a joy to work with.

Information Emily K. would like to know about your pet

In no particular order: I'd want to know diet restrictions, allergies, tendencies to eat stuff off the ground, etc. I love bringing dogs to their favorite places - if there are local areas that your dog likes hanging out at, we'll definitely be there! I'll want to know if there are any specific behaviors to keep an eye out for - for instance, if I need to watch out for any other dog/human-types and plan accordingly (my dog used to hate people in ski hats. go figure). ...and if there are any "loves" that your dog has, so I can pamper/treat them appropriately!

A typical day

Walks will be wherever the kid wants to go! I prefer places that have good smells, especially in the summer. If he/she loves to fetch, I'm an expert at ball-throwing. My corgi was mental about fetching!
