I got a puppy when I was 10 years old, and I have loved dogs ever since. For the past couple of years I have walked dogs to make money in my spare time when I am not in class, and I have also stayed overnight at people's houses for dog sitting. What might make me different than other dog walkers/sitters is that taking care of dogs is legitimately enjoyable to me...it is not just a job. I love doing it. It is very rewarding. Besides being born and raised in Chicago, I have walked dogs all over the city so it is pretty easy for me to get to anywhere in the city without any real transportation issues. This job is ideal for me.
