Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's comfort is my top priority. Whenever I meet a new animal, I always approach calmly and patiently, as I know not every animal responds to new people the same way. Over the years, I've managed to get dogs with a wide range of temperaments to warm up to me through a mix of persistent gentleness, patience and space.

Information Paloma C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what quirks and special behaviors I can expect from your pet. If there are any behaviors you're working to encourage or discourage, please let me know so I can support your pup's training to become their best selves. And, of course, if there are any health issues that require special attention, please make sure to also include those.

A typical day

Hyde Park is full of sights, sounds and smells. On days where the weather, and a pups energy levels, allow for longer walks, we might take a stroll through Promontory Point where your pup can take in the lake breeze, or through Jackson Park past the Museum of Science and Industry. On other days, there are no small number of parks and tree lined streets in the area to take a shorter stroll through. Overall, I'll meet your pet where they're at whether that means more playtime between walks to get out extra energy or to just be there while they get their beauty rest.

Pet care experience

I have lived with animals for my entire life, including cats, dogs and reptiles. I have years of experience caring for a range of fur (and scale!) babies. I have also cared for and walked dogs of a variety of sizes and temperaments, from big, energetic playful pups to standoffish and anxious ones. I always enjoy the challenge of meeting an animal where they're at and figuring out what I can do to make them the most comfortable.

Paloma is the best! She's so sweet and patient with my old man. At this point, Papito gets frustrated on days she's not scheduled.

Our cats are obsessed with Paloma! She takes amazing care of them and provides the best pictures and notes to reassure us while we’re away!
