Active or Cuddle Bug sitter/walker!

Pet care experience

I adopted my former dog, Madison, when I was a Sophomore in college as a puppy and raised her to 13 when she passed. She lived a full life and was the sweetest dog that loved love. I decided to give myself time to grieve and decided to wait to get another pet. In the meantime I cat sat for my neighbor. I am now currently an active foster for Alive Rescue and took care of an Akita/Besenji mix and rehabbed him to trust men. I also sometimes dog sit an adorable pigmy Pug named Betty as well as a Bouvier named Griffy. I can handle all sorts of dogs, regardless of size and am a very active person so I can keep up with an active dog, but I also don't have a problem just lounging around with a cuddler.

We had another awesome experience with Kat as our dog sitter! She took great care of our pet and our home! She’s easily the most professional sitter we’ve used and will continue to use!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a gated back area and my apartment is only accessible using one flight of stairs. I live in a one bedroom with no roommates. I am currently not fostering so no other animals at the moment.

Information Kathaleen C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what their activity level is, sociability, level of training they have received. I'd also like to know if like kids, my neighborhood has a lot of families and their children will run up and pet the dogs without haste so this information is extremely important to avoid any incidences. I would also like to know of any dietary restrictions.

A typical day

I would take them on walks, long or short. I live close to Division St, so if your dog is a people person I can take them on patios. There is also a dog park in Bucktown that I would love to take them to.
