Experienced Sitter in Chicago!
Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Emily and it would be my pleasure to help take care of your furry friend! I have been working as a dog walker and pet sitter for over 10 years and couldn't be happier with job. I originally got in to this field out of pure love for dogs and a desire to spend more time with animals. I have some experience with training, though I am not a certified trainer. I grew up with dogs, and have developed quite the intuition over the years. Although I grew up in a feline free home, I've developed a deep adoration for kitties too! I'm very active, so I will gladly take your pup for a nice long walk, run, or some play time in the park. Looking forward to meeting you and your best friend!
Reviews
Emily is a fantastic sitter. Her updates were thorough and thoughtful and she took great photos of my cat! I looked forward to her daily updates and
Emily took great care of Jude and was super flexible with the holidays!
Emily was great! She was very friendly, flexible, and communicative leading up to and over the course of the stay. She left our house clean and tidy. Thanks for taking care of Gordie!!
Emily is the best! She took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. She spent a lot of time with her and sent me lots of updates and pictures, which I always love to get. You can tell she really loves dogs. It's so nice to have peace of mind when you're not home. Would definitely love for her to continue sitting our dog when we're out of town! Thanks Emily!!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I'll go over the specifics of your house before walks or a stay & make sure that your pup is never off leash in an area they shouldn't be! If there are any other specific safety measures you'd like to take we can go over them in our meet & greet.
Information Emily N. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pup experiences aggression toward other animals or humans, it happens, it's just best to know ahead of time! Alternately, if your pup has any fears (other pups, loud noises, cars) I'd like to know those too. Please inform me of any allergies, plus I would like to know if your pet has any special needs or requires any medication. I have years of experience administering medication to senior and differently abled fur babies, but always like to review the specifics with you before a stay.
A typical day
I am very flexible with my sitting style and am always looking to prioritize you and your pup's comfort. I will, of course, provide your dog with any meals or medication necessary. I'll also provide plenty of playtime considering I'm very active myself! Your pup will go on several walks per day, unless of course your pup has special needs that prevent them from enjoying walks. I'm willing and able to spend the night at your place, however if you're not comfortable with this, I can offer my services until the last walk for the evening, then return in the morning. Kind of like a doggy daycare, except one-on-one! In addition to taking care of your pets I'll gladly bring in your mail and water the plants.

Emily can watch in your home
Availability
I am a freelance worker, which means I have all the time in the world to care for your pets! My schedule is fairly flexible for walks and drop ins, and if I am house sitting I will be there a majority of the time. I will always communicate beforehand if there is an extended window where I will be away from your pets.
