I’m patient and compassionate with all dogs. I’ll take your dog on those freezing cold walks in the dead of winter so you don’t have to, and I know some nice dog parks in Chicago too. I love the exercise as much as the dogs do! Plus I’m good with grooming and general pet care, including care of cats. I’m tidy and will clean up after myself, and even better, the animals too! The picture of the cute little Shih Tzu with the big, begging eyes was my dog and his name is Rufus. I’ve had him and took care of him since I was a child but he was very old and unfortunately passed earlier this year. He may look innocent but he was a troublemaker, but I loved him all the same and I know he’s resting in paradise now. I have experience with a lot of different dogs like the anxious, elderly, and even the young and rambunctious dogs. I don’t mind traveling or staying over night with good planning. I have a reliable car to get to you and your doggy companion and I am usually available during weekday mornings/afternoons because I work evenings.
