A walk a day keeps the vet away!

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Jack and I’m a sophomore at Harper college, I’ve always loved dogs but until a couple years ago I’ve never had the pleasure of having my own. Previous to caring for my own dog I would walk my neighbors dog and care for them when they were out of town and ever since getting my drivers license I’ve done the same for my aunts and uncles dogs as well. My girlfriends dog is about 120lbs and one of my uncles has a mastiff and I wrestled all of highschool and do powerlifting recreationally so big dogs have never been an issue for me even with pulling. I tried out another app called wag for the past couple months and I would get re requested by owners dogs that were known to pull because I didn’t complain about it. I’ve done everything from drop ins, to hour long walks in below freezing temperatures to dog sitting at the owners house the only thing I’m unable to do is boarding at my own house. I also have a cat that I’ve cared for for many years so I’m comfortable and enjoy caring for cats as well :) Unfortunately on the other app I tried out it isn’t as popular so most of the jobs I got were a decent amount of driving away and I’d like to see if I can find more opportunities on here since it’s so well known!

Jack was great! We got back after 5 days and the critters were happy, the mail was collected and the garbage cans were out on the curb. We trust him and the dog likes him!

I’ve known Jack for years, we’re cousins and whenever we are out of town and need someone to check in on the pup he’s always available to do so. Says a lot because we are quite a drive from him we live in Chicago and he’s out in the suburbs so it’s about a 40 min drive to get here and he’ll come every day we’re out of town. Definitely would recommend him very reliable.

I do not offer boarding, but in previous clients homes I’ve cleaned litter boxes, fed pets, gave them water, taken them for walks and played with them. Most fun thing I’ve done for a client was taught their dog to “shake” or high five because I was sitting for them for 8 hours and that was really fun!

Information Jack E. would like to know about your pet

Some information I would need to know ahead of time is if your dog has anything that triggers it such as loud noises or other dogs or anything unique like that along with any medication that may need to be provided. Most interesting experience I’ve had so far is I was dog sitting a dog named Lucy who was very well trained and behaved and was triggered by young children she was extremely scared of them and I was unaware of that going into it.

A typical day

A typical day would be first of all doing whatever it is that the client asks of me and then making sure the pup has plenty of exercise and pets, there is a forest preserve area with trails near my house where I’ve taken a few dogs to walk and it’s beautiful there!
