Flexible sitter that loves all dogs
Pet care experience
I grew up with all kinds of dogs such as a Doberman, Cockapoo, Chihuahua and Golden Retrievers and have always been a dog lover. I live about a mile away from the lake, so would be taking walks/ runs to the park, lake and dog park. I recently moved away from home and my pups and would love to have dogs around again. I work from home in Lincoln Park and have a very flexible schedule to spend the most amount of time with your pup. I have two roommates that are also dog lovers that would love to have a furry friend around any day of the week. My calendar is all up to date and can not wait to meet your furry baby!
Reviews
Ah I wanted to leave a positive review, but I figured it was better to be honest. Paige’s dog sitting pricing is considerably higher than others in the area, which I didn’t mind, but gave me the expectation that I would be working with someone communicative and reliable. I had set up and confirmed the booking with Paige for a 5:30-6:30 pickup, and then the morning before we confirmed a 5:30pm pickup. That night, after 8pm, she asked if I could pick up my dog “at 8 or before 4.” I couldn’t do earlier so I agreed to 8pm reluctantly (with Paige being gone at work so Pep was alone) because there was no way I would find a dogsitter for the following morning that late at night. Drop off goes well and I assume Pep had a good day until Paige leaves for 4 hours. I text her at 7:30pm saying I’ll be there at 8, and again at 7:45 that I’m on my way. I text at 8pm that I’ve arrived and Paige says she’ll be there in 15min. At 8:15 I get a message that she’s getting on lake shore drive. Paige arrived home at 8:25pm. Paying over $80 for one day of dog sitting, I’d expect better communication and care. Getting a message late the night before that she can’t do what we agreed, and that “I can cancel if I want” isn’t much of a choice. While I do think Pep received good care, the lack of professionalism and communication made the price not worth it.
Paige took our 3-month old puppy Bruno for the day for his first ever day of daycare, and she was a terrific sitter! She was super responsive throughout, and flexible on timing. She did a fantastic job taking care of our energetic pup, including taking him on a bunch of walks, playing tug of war and with his toys, and giving him plenty of snuggles when it was time to settle down and relax. Bruno came home happy and tired from a fun day! I would absolutely recommend Paige.
Paige was great! She was very accommodating with us. We were trying to coordinate someone to check-in on our dogs while anticipating the birth of our child. Paige was very flexible and willing to work with the unpredictability of our schedule. The dogs were one less thing we had to worry about. Thanks Paige!
Paige is AMAZING at watching our dogs. She not only goes on several walks with them; but, treats them with love and respect. You can tell she truly cares about pets takes great care of them. Whenever I pick them up, they seem that they want to stay longer with Paige!
