Wanted: running or snuggle buddy

Pet care experience

I recently moved to the Chicagoland area after graduating from medical school to complete my medical residency training here. In the last couple of months I have been very busy with Rover (due to an open schedule) which has been great!!! I have met SO may furry friends and have enjoyed exploring Chicago with them. I grew up and am most familiar with medium-large sized dogs. I am used to timid and shy rescues as well as very energetic dogs. I've fostered several dogs and puppies throughout medical school (my parents even adopted my last foster :) so I get to see him when I visit!). I also spent time regularly walking with shelter dogs. I love dogs and found them a great stress relief :) I currently have a cat who I adopted from the shelter I volunteered at in medical school. If you have an active dog, I would take him on a run instead of walk if preferred. Now that I will be working again, my availability will be sporadic (mostly weekend and evening availability).

Maura and Kyle always take the best care of Brinkley! She arrives and leaves as the happiest dog!! I highly recommend their services and will continue to use them as sitters :)

Maura was really sweet and helpful! I asked her to come by and scoop the litter, top off food and water, and check mail. She sent updates each time, along with pics! My cat is shy and I was worried she might just hide under the bed the entire time, but she came out for Maura! There must have been something about Maura that reassured her, which was really nice. Would definitely contact her again if I ever need a sitter. Thank you!

Maura helped us out in a pinch when our dog sitter cancelled last minute. We boarded him at her house and he came back a very happy puppy! She was flexible, provided great communication, and took great care of our dog!
