Pet care experience

Excited to care for your fur baby!

** I can only board cats currently due to apt pet policy :( But, I care for both pups and cats with my other services: house sits, drop-in’s and dog walking services! 😋** I have quite a few years of experience taking care of my neighbors’ and family’s cats and dogs of all sizes, especially small/medium pups. I find that this gives me energy as I retire from my day job during the week and weekends! I had a Yorki and Shih tzu mix and cared for him lovingly each day before moving to Chicago! It's a dream to dedicate my free time to care for someone's special furbaby in my community! I'll effortlessly pass on the love, attention and care. It’s important to me to build trust with your pet through play, hugs, walks, feeds and baths. I’m so excited to care for your little one! Let's have some fun!

Shatera is the best!!! My dog loves her and I know he is in great hands when she watches him. She sends the most thorough and thoughtful updates throughout her stay and lots and lots of cute pics. 💖

Safety, trust & environment

I also have a dog-friendly fenced courtyard for safe play, night walks and meet n greets! I have a ton of experience with anxious pups, reactive pups, elderly pups and cats and dogs on complex medications or special diets and need extra care!

A typical day

I love to ensure that the dog I’m caring for is able to be energized mentally and physically from play, and meeting other pups and friends in the neighborhood!
