I did dog walking in Chicago,

Pet care experience

I have 15 years in the pet industry, 3 years in the veterinary care and 1 year dog walking and sitter business. I’m able to walk dogs give nutrition advise care for cats and administer insulin and other medications. I have 15 years management in pet store retail, I’m very familiar with pet products, so I can advise pet owners of products that are best for their pet. New products on the market proper walking equipment. I’m very knowledgeable on animal nutrition and I’ll offer this advise along with my service. I also have basic grooming skills like bathing nail trims ear cleaning so this can be a add on feature that my services offer. This is a good summery of my animal experience over the years

Rita managed a pet store for many years and loved on every dog that walked in. She's a wonderful parent to her own dogs and makes sure they receive all the best products and care. I've seen how she is with animals and working under her for many years has shown me how much she knows about dogs, cats, birds and reptiles alike and their care! No one is more qualified to take care of an animal than Rita!

I have known Rita for about 12 years, 10 of which we worked together very closely. She is extremely educated in all areas of pet care, including pet foods and is very conscientious on keeping up to date on recalls on foods, medications, etc. I learned a great deal from her. I truly have never met an individual with a passion for animals like her, along with her knowledge she would be an asset to anyone that needs someone to watch over their animals.

I worked for Rita for many years she was my manager at a pet supply store. She has great customer service, she loves animals and has cared for all kinds of pets. She has experience as a Vet Tech in a busy Chicago animal hospital. She’s great under pressure. Her knowledge of pets health and nutrition would make her super helpful to a Rover client.
