Services
Kamara can care for
Availability
I'm currently unemployed & seeking another role—the upside of this is that my schedule is open and very flexible at this time. I live in Avondale so I can easily reach pets in Logan Square, Irving Park, Lincoln Square, Albany Park, Belmont Craigin, and any other neighborhood accessible by the Blue Line, Kimball, Belmont, Pulaski, or Diversey bus lines.

About Kamara B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I'm a big believer in reviewing instructions and asking clarifying questions. I always request an information write-up from pet owners ahead of meeting their pet & ask about anything I'm unsure of. I particularly make sure to ask if the pet is upset by anything, if they have any favorite toys, and if there's any petting spots I should avoid or be sure to hit.
Information Kamara B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there is anything that stresses or scares your pet. For dogs, I'd also like to know their favorite walking routes, any that should be avoided, and how long a typical walk is for them. For all pets, I'd love to know their favorite games and favorite spots for pets.
A typical day
My first step when arriving at a petsit is, of course, to greet the pet & let them sniff me before giving them some cuddles if they're not feeling shy. I'll then review the provided instructions while identifying where everything important (the pet's food, collar & leash, any medicine, toys, etc.) is. We'll then go on plenty of walks (during which they can stop to sniff as often as they'd like) play their favorite games, and I'll give them pets all throughout (if that's something they enjoy & seem receptive to, if not I would respect their autonomy).

A Reliable New Friend for Your Pet
Pet care experience
My childhood household always included dogs and cats—at this point, pet care is second nature for me. I value each pet's unique personality and needs, and of course enjoy their company. You can typically find me befriending cats on the sidewalk during my daily walks & making a beeline for the host's dog at any party. My current apartment unfortunately does not allow pets so I'd love to scratch that itch through spending time with yours :) I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats, including those needing a higher level of care. My past petsits include a two-month stint living with a toothless cat while his humans were on a climbing expedition; a month spent with a menagerie of three cats and two dogs during an Arizonan summer; walking (as well as feeding, watering, and lightly grooming) my friend's reactive wolfhound when he's out of town; and most recently, caring for another friend's two cats while one had an infection requiring various medications and isolation from the other cat. I'm comfortable providing any care your pet needs ❤️
