I’d love to help care for your pets
Pet care experience
I’m 24 years old and recently moved home from Oceanside, CA to Chicago to live. My schedule is very flexible. Since 2017, I started pet sitting and walking dogs to make extra income. I have worked for Wag, another dog walking company for people in my local neighborhood. I have two large dogs in my family as well as my weenie dog, that I have trained myself, and have plenty of experience dog sitting for all types of dogs. I have many references to provide of my previous times dog sitting/ walking. I love taking long walks with dogs and playing with them. I went to Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences and I have minimal knowledge about animals and how to care for them. I know how to put different harnesses on any size of dog.
Reviews
Paige has a very sweet and kind disposition so I immediately felt like Reptar was in good hands. She stayed with him for the weekend and he requires eye drops and a foot cleaning/ointment on his paws nightly. When I came home, his eyes looked great (they'd be crusted if he missed a drop) and his paws were in great shape too -- I know she had been cleaning them and applying the medication effectively. As a sweet gesture, when I turned on my TV there was a youtube video of soothing music for dogs with some separation anxiety. Paige had told me that Rep was a little anxious day one, and it was very sweet to see that when she left for the day, she wanted him to feel as calm as possible. It can be pretty anxiety provoking to leave your pup, and your home, in someone else's care, but I think Paige did great (house was very clean too - you wouldn't know someone spent the weekend there *at all*) and I will absolutely hire her again in the future. Also, thank you for the note on how the weekend went with him -- all was very much appreciated!
Paige took such great care of Phillip, I will for sure book her again!
Paige took care of our dog for a few days while we were out of town. Our dog gets very scared when we are away and she went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable. Thank you Paige!
This young woman is a life saver! I could not ask for a more professional, thoughtful, and level - headed person to care for my precious dog, Peaches, my home, and my yard. She was faced with several challenges in my absence out of the country, where I couldn't be reached, such as ants, a water leak, etc., etc. and handled it all with good judgment and wisdom. She is resourceful and hard - working. She is house - and dog sitting again soon for me for 3 weeks and i wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Paige. Can't say enough good things about her. It's refreshing to know someone of her youth who is a great example of maturity and responsibility.
