Paws volunteer- loves all dogs!

Pet care experience

ABOUT ME I have loved all animals ever since i was little, but I’ve always had a special place in my heart for dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs and they were honestly treated like my siblings, and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way! I have also volunteered at PAWS Chicago, so I have plenty of experience with every size, personality and training experience imaginable! I have been walking and boarding dogs for over a year now, through Rover and recommendations from clients, and i absolutely love it! I live in a high rise in Gold Coast, right by Washington Park, which is great for walks. I also have a nice dog run in my apartment for severe weather or elderly/injured dogs who have trouble on walks. As someone who is obsessed with their family dog, I could imagine how anxious I would get leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, so I would be more than happy to meet you for coffee or something first so you could get to know me! AVAILABILITY Monday-Friday: I work full time in River North Monday-Friday but I can come in the morning (before 7:00) and/or anytime after 4:30. *I am also available to walk during my lunch hour, but only for dogs in the River North/Gold Coast area, otherwise I will have to charge for ubers (not included in the service fee).* Weekends: I am available most weekends I also have a car so I can take your dog(s) to any appointments, dog parks or just out for a joy ride! Thank you so much for consideration, I look forward to meeting you and your pups! :)

Erin and her fiance treat Olli like he's their own. Olli is calm when he comes home, meaning he wasn't traumatized at being left behind. Usually I feel anxious and worried after I drop him off somewhere, but this time I didn't because I am sure he is in good hands.

This is a repeat visit. This time, as before, Erin took good care of Olli. The white fur under his eyes gets stained quickly, and after him being with Erin for a week, it was apparent that she had kept on top of cleaning. Erin is intelligent and responsible and I feel confident that Olli is safe and cuddled when staying with her. She also drove him home, which was a huge help!

This is the second time Bruno stays with Erin. He was so happy to see her, and he instantly felt at home. We got updates and a lot of pictures as usual. I highly recommend her!

This is the second time we left Olli with Erin. She takes good care of him, including giving him eye drops. It's a gigantic help that she will bring him home. I will continue to take Olli to Erin.

PLEASE READ: My building has a strict breed policy so for boarding I unfortunately cannot host any aggressive breeds or dogs mixed with aggressive breeds. However, for walking I can walk any dog breed!

A typical day

Dogs are allowed on my bed and furniture, I want them to feel as comfortable as possible and stick to their normal routine. I live in a high rise building in Gold Coast with a nice dog run for socializing, but if your dog is not friendly with other dogs, I can take our service elevator and ensure that they don't interact with another dog during their stay with me.
