Shimmy was so great with my pup, Romeo! I received detailed updates, pictures, and videos during the drop-ins. Romeo was fed, walked, and got in some quality play time. Thanks again!

Shimmy was SO caring towards my nervous dog. I highly recommend. Not only did she walk her, but took the time to clean up after Winnie had an accident 😅 It’s so great to feel like your pets are cared for so thoroughly!!

Safety, trust & environment

I will adhere to whatever safety policies you have in place (crates, secure backyards, etc) I’m very aware of my environment and present with pets.

Information Shimmy G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pup likes or doesn’t like certain things (temperament with other dogs, being petted in a particular place on their body or head) Also, how you do or don’t want them to interact with strangers we encounter on walks. I want to know how your pup likes to play! Active or chill? Because I can be both!

A typical day

We love to go on walks, play with balls in the yard and since moving to Chicago - city dog parks! I love to watch my boys make new friends! We are also a fan of walking by the lake near the museums!

Availability

I just made a career move after working 80+ hours a week and traveling a lot for work. I just relocated to Chicago and I have a lot of extra free time in the interim. I relied heavily on dog care over the years and I would like to use this newly found free time I have to stay active and gratefully serve other pet owners in the way I have been helped out over the years.
