Home full time - large fenced yard.
Pet care experience
I work from home for the majority of my job, have a large 5 bedroom house with a great back, and side, fenced in yard. I've spent the last 15 years volunteering at animal shelters, I worked for a private pet-care company for 5+ years, and was a certified veterinary assistant for 4 years. Not only does my love for animals run deep, but I have the experience and skill set to acknowledge and accordingly address any health concerns that may arise while looking after your furry family member. While I appreciate basic obedience, your pet will be treated like family while staying in my home. That means snuggles on the couch, a spot in my bed at nighttime, and any other special requirements that will make him/her feel extra special and loved. I have more toys, dog beds, treats, and kiddy pools (for those hot days), than you could imagine. I have a 10 year old lab mix rescue that loves company and will happily share all the love that my doggy paradise has to offer!
Reviews
Kaitlin has several years of experience as a dog walker and also as a tech in an animal hospital where she provided a wide range of services. Her love of animals is evident from the moment she meets your dog and begins a relationship with them. Trustworthy, caring and hard working she would provide a positive environment for your dog to learn and grow.
Kaitlin is great with animals. She used to work as a veterinarian assistant. I trust her with my dog, a puppy, and you should too!
Kaitlin has a special knack when it comes to dogs. She loves them and they love her! She worked for some time as a dog walker in the city of Chicago with many clients and has watched our dog on many occasions. She has experience working at two veterinary clinics in Chicago and has taken classes toward becoming a veterinary technician. If you want a kind, caring dogsitter or walker, Kaitlin is your girl.
Kaitlin is the gold standard of dog sitters. She is warm, prompt, responsive and my beloved but high-maintenance (and a bit moody) pup absolutely adores her. He bounds to her car when she picks him up and pouts when she drops him off. She’s also great at managing dog personalities - my dog, who can be finicky, always adored other dogs he was around with her. A final bonus - she is a magician with a camera and always sends the cutest pictures.

Information Kaitlin O. would like to know about your pet
Any current health issues are a must, any behavioral qualities that need to have an eye kept on (leash aggression, social anxiety, separation anxiety, being possessive over treats, toys, etc.).
A typical day
I like to go for long walks by the Fox River, a trip to Montrose Dog Beach (as time allows), and teaching fun new tricks! My mom used to be a certified dog trainer and has passed that knowledge on to me.
