Pet care experience

Pet lover for life!

I rescued a unique dog when he was abandoned in a box with his siblings as a pup on the roadside 12 years ago. Five years later I found the best loving cat at a cage-free shelter who they didn't want to let go of because he is so amazing. Day one the cat would not be alone and since then they have gotten along effortlessly. They are now both 12 years old and winning at life! They both get Glucosamine 'treats' daily and have a total of 5 beds throughout the house plus a cat tower...spoiled but deserved! I love animals & making sure they are well taken care of, emotionally and physically. i have experience with dogs from Huskies, German Shepherds, Doodles of all kinds, to small Chihuahua mixes and each one is amazing. I also have experience with puppies to seniors which of course requires both patience & gentle care.

Nelly went above and beyond to make sure my pups were taken care of and loved while I was away! They absolutely love Nelly! This was the greatest experience!

Safety, trust & environment

I can provide puppy pad training, long adventurous walks and I'm an amazing tug of war partner. I also can do crating, provide medications if needed and make sure your animal isn't put in harms way.

Pets

A typical day

I love to play with pets, whether it is high energy fetch or tug of war with a little pupper. Being active is also very important! I enjoy many of the local Naperville parks available, simple trails in the area or just a nice walk through their familiar neighborhood based on the dog and their activity needs.
