Dogs are my favorite people!

Pet care experience

YOUR HOUSE I have a 11 pound mixed she-poo, YumYum, who comes with me. She is gentle, sweet, and very laid back. if your dog wants to play with her she will. if your dog wants to be left alone that's O.K. too. After 35 years of teaching special needs children, I am now retired and want to spend my free time with my 2nd love, pets. About this sitter: I'm am an experienced dog and cat sitter, having been blessed with their company for over 40 years. Knowledgeable in giving medication,shoots, and IV's, besides love and care. I have worked at Tales of Hope, Rovers, and The Anti-cruelty of Chicago as a volunteer. I will treat your your pet as I would mine, with love and respect! Dogs are walked or let out as many times daily,as needed. I will keep to your schedule for feeding and walking, so your dog feels comfortable. Most important lots of love and play. . Why I love dog sitting: I have been a dog, cat, and other animal lover and owner all my life. Had dogs, cats, and many assorted animals growing up. Who else gives you unconditional love.

Helene was great. The dog was happy and she was so helpful. She kept great notes, sent pictures, and helped with the garbage and dishes. We’d have her back again any time.

Information Helene G. would like to know about your pet

To make sure that your dog's stay is as comfortable as possible, I would like to know his/her likes and dislikes, favorite food, behavioral problems, fears, how he/she gets along with other dogs and people, any medical issues, things he/she likes to do; in short, what makes your dog happy. Also, it would be helpful to know special schedules that need to be followed, feeding, walking times. I would be happy to sit for dogs in YOUR HOUSE that are over 25lbs. No breed preferences, love them all, including special needs dogs!

A typical day

Your dog is Master ! If you wish your dog is welcome in my bed. Time I'll spend with your dog At least 4 to 6 hours. not counting playing and cuddling hours. If your dog/cat enjoys brushing we can do that too. We can go to CLEAN fenced in dog parks, if you'd like
