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!!
