Caring, SAFE and DOG LOVER
Pet care experience
I have owned numerous dogs since I was born. I have experience with all types of dogs, from Chihuahua's, to Maltese, to Jack Russell's, to Lhasa Apso's, Shih Tzu's, to Bulldog's, and my newest best friend (of 3 years) a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. I am able to care for sick dogs needing oral medication, as well as healthy high-energy dogs. I have been dog sitting for many years and I love the company (my dog does, too!) I am able to take your dog(s) on walks where ever you think pleases them best! I have handled dogs weighing up to 150 lbs, so no worries about the leash manners - your dog will be safe with me! I know how they are equivalent to family and I also understand the sometimes unbearable costs of daycare. I'm experienced and here to help. I will love your dog(s) like my own. I know I have no certifications (I am working on things slowly), but I know dog CPR and have actually performed it on my late Lhasa Apso when she was only 1 year old. I am just a kind, loving, caring, overly-safe female who wants to love your dog when maybe you don't have the time to do so (our lives are busy, I know). I wish I trusted someone enough to do this when I needed it (as daycare for my dog added up QUICK!). I hope someone can trust me, and I can help you and your dog-child(ren) as much as needed!!! Thank you for taking the time to review this. I promise I will show your dogs more love and safety then any certification could provide.
Reviews
I don't even know where to begin. I didn't know Shalissa from a hole in the wall, but she and I were walking our dogs one day 4 years back and bumped into one another. I decided that she seemed like a nice and pleasant girl, and my girl certainly loved her (I have a golden retriever) so we set something up where my girl Saddie would go over her house for a play date. Not only was she awesome with my girl, but since then she has been helping me dog-sit and walk my girl for me... even in time crunches (without the guilt trip I've gotten from others). I haven't used Rover, but if this will help her get noticed so other dog owners can see who she really is... I hope I can help! Shalissa has been amazing, and I would (and do) recommend her to anyone looking for someone to love your pet. Seriously!
About Shalissa C.
Skills
Information Shalissa C. would like to know about your pet
I have NO breed preferences - don't get me started there! If your dog is dog-friendly then I know it'll be safe to bring to my house with my dog! (If you want to do a meet and greet, no problem). If not- no problem, I can still dog-walk for you (and leave my dog-baby with the sitter). However, I LOVE dogs so much.. I understand that some get temperamental (not scared of barking or anything) but I also know that they just want love. I will provide that love while you work or whatever you need.
A typical day
I work daily M-F from 8am-4pm and I’m also working on my MSW. I am available on weekends and I will either take your dog around the neighborhood, or I can bring them to the trails at Lincoln Woods, on the Bike Path through riverside... or tell me where your dog likes to go and I will take them there.
