Active Walker for Your Active Pup!

Pet care experience

Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Having over 15 years of experience with walking, sitting, and owning large dogs (Siberian Huskies, German Shepherds, etc.) I am the ideal sitter for your dog, no matter the size! I am in fit physical condition to handle strong/large dogs, as well as those energetic pups who prefer more of a run versus a typical dog "walk". I understand the need to find and trust a sitter/walker that will treat your dog like their own; I am your girl! I myself have a Siberian Husky that I have trained myself and is a certified Therapy Dog, so I am an expert on behavioral cues and proper care and activities for all dogs. I live in University Village so my range of commute is flexible if you live here, the South Loop, or surrounding neighborhoods. I will make your companion a top priority under my care. I have professional references upon request. My weekend schedule is very flexible, so give me a call for a meet and greet and take the worry out of your weekend getaways!

Information Gina L. would like to know about your pet

I do prefer larger dogs just because that is all I have owned, but enjoy all sizes of dogs to sit and walk! If you have a puppy who is in the process of being trained, please let me know what training methods you are using so that I can continue to assist in this while your dog is in my care. I trained all of my dogs on my own and am very patient with puppies! If you have a senior dog, I have specialized in care for senior dogs in the past and am very happy to sit your old companion. My last senior dog had arthritis among other conditions so I am adaptive, patient and alert at all times around senior canines.

A typical day

If nearby to my residence, there are at least 3 dog parks that I know of, as well as numerous walking paths right on the UIC campus, so the neighborhood is safe and secure. I enjoy walking, running and hiking with dogs so any type of exercise your dog needs I can handle with ease.
