My boyfriend's mother's 2 dogs lived with us for a year so I am definitely competent in caring for dogs. I really enjoy spending time with dogs, too, so I make sure they get a lot of love!! I also grew up with cats, so I can take care of them, too. I live and work close to Loyola University in Rogers Park and have a pretty flexible boss, so even though I work 8:30-5, I can easily get away during lunch time for walks, etc. I am a very conscientious person and know that pets are part of the family so I take extra caution especially when walking...Chicago drivers can be very distracted. I'm happy to answer any questions you have. Thanks for considering me!
