Pet care experience
I am currently a full-time caregiver, a nanny and house manager for a family with two children (so if you need an occasional, weekend babysitter for your children, maybe we can make out another deal). Recently, I graduated from a small, liberal arts college in Minnesota with a degree in Psychology and English. I'm currently working on graduate applications and planning out the next few years. My family in Minnesota owns a dog, but here, in Chicago, I'm puppy-less :( My roommates and I can't handle owning a pet full-time, so Rover creates the absolute perfect opportunity for us. I really hope that I can create strong relationships with my clients - as I am a fan of routine and am extremely responsible (daughter of a single parent and have been caring for my younger brother and pets since I was seven years old). My goal is to treat your dog the way you would - with kindness, love and lots of energy. I hope we can schedule a meetup before any set dates so we can ensure that there's a great fit. Thank you so much for your time and I hope to talk to you soon! -Shay

Second time working with Shay, and she is still awesome! My pup loves staying with Shay and Shay clearly loves watching dogs. I highly recommend her.
Shay was great! Very easy to work with and my pup had a wonderful weekend. As cuddly as my pup can be, she also has a lot of energy, and Shay made sure that she got enough exercise and enough cuddles. Highly recommend!
Could tell immediately that Nala had a blast on her vacation! Shay was great to her and super easy going. Great communication and logistics were easy.
I have known Shay for years as a babysitter and a summer nanny for my four children. She started when my youngest daughter was eight months and my oldest was seven years old. Our whole family instantly loved her because of her attention to detail, responsibility, positive attitude and love for children and teaching (I believe she's even a middle school teacher now). She was so easy to work with and we will always consider her a member of the family. My wife is allergic to animals but we both agree that if we had pets, Shay would be the first person we would call for help with them. Trust me when I say that this is a person you want in your life and can always count on to do the job and go above and beyond.

I live in the Lincoln Park/Lakeview area so there are plenty of parks to enjoy! Also, I like to go on runs occasionally and would be so thrilled to be accompanied by a dog if that's what your pet prefers (I probably have a rule against running if it's 0 below though haha).
