Safety, trust & environment

As my apartment does not allow pets I would most likely be doing drop in visits as regularly as needed and perhaps an overnight if you are out of town for a while. I would do my best to rely entirely on and follow the dogs normal routine as laid out by the owner.

Information Grace M. would like to know about your pet

Like people, all pets are different, so let me know about any dietary restrictions, special needs, medications, or even just any specific activities that makes your pet feel more at ease.

A typical day

I love walking to new areas and checking out neighborhoods and parks so your dog will be able to have lots of fun smells. We may even stop for a pup cup (if allowed). I’m pretty active myself and love running, and will also play fetch or tug-of-war so your pup can get all their energy out. Or if your doggo is lower energy and wants someone to chill in the living room with them to ease the anxiety of being home alone, I love giving belly rubs and having some relaxation time.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. I was always the person in my family to feed, walk, train, and entertain the pets. I’ve trained puppies of breeds as different as pit bulls and Westies and taken care of senior dogs in need of regularly scheduled meds and diapers. Since high school I have fostered, dog sat overnight and/or drop in, and I now volunteer at PAWS here in Chicago.
