I have taken care of animals since I was about 6 years old. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all breeds. People have always told me that I have a special connection to animals so if your pet needs a loving, caring, and helpful human when you're away, I would love to help! I am patient, and follow directions carefully to ensure that your dogs needs are met every time. I have never met a dog that I didn't instantly fall in love with. I also have experience with separation anxiety in pets as I have helped my friends's pets, as well as both of my own pets (dogs), get over such troubles. Additionally, I have experience with dogs' who have special needs as a family member's dog has diabetes and I frequently taken care of him as well. I live in the south suburbs of Chicago and I am a teacher so my summers are wide open for dog walking and sitting! I would love to help and am eager to meet you and your pet!
