Hi, I'm Lauren! My friends call me the dog whisperer. I've even helped tame dogs with behavioral problems. I live in the south loop area and I have a flexible work from home schedule so depending on the level anxiety your dog has while being away from you, I can cater to your needs. I can walk your dog as well during my lunch break, which is flexible. I am very good a bathing, brushing dogs too. I recently took care of my family friend's dog and was able to remove most of the plaque from his teeth without being bit! My family dog was a shih tzu. I groomed her and took care of her my whole life. She lived a happy life for 19 long years. I miss her terribly. Taking care of your dog would be a pleasure to me more than a job and I promise to take care of them with as much love as I did my own dog!
