Pet care experience

Loves all pets!

I have 3 dogs that I raised since they were puppies. They’re all within a 3 year age span and get along great! I take care of their feeding, grooming, and exercise. I’ve also raised two neonatal kittens, which included things like bottle feeding and administering medication. I’m very educated in pet safety, it’s my #1 priority. This includes proper car safety, sanitation, and knowledge on safe foods, chews, and toys.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I do all the grooming for my dogs including necessary hair trims, nails clippings, teeth brushing, bathing, brushing, and deshedding. For mealtime, I like to provide them with mental enrichment through slow feeding bowls, puzzle toys, sniffle mats, and using lick mats for treats like PB or wet food. For exercise, they require a lot of exercise that walking could never satisfy; so I like to take them to the different DuPage dog parks which are sectioned-off areas of forest preserves ranging from 3 to 60 acres. However, I occasionally take them on walks to expose them to new environments. I would be to happy to discuss and extend any of this care to your pets!

Sophie took such great care of my kitties! It's great to know that when I'm gone they are in kind and capable hands.

Sophie was so kind to take my last moment request. I knew that she was going to take good care of the kitties, because she asked great questions beforehand!

Sophie gave me such peace of mind taking care of our two cats while I was away on a trip. She sent detailed updates and pictures, and let me know if there were any concerns. My cats are quite social, so she spent plenty of time playing with them and giving them plenty of pets and attention. I really appreciated her time and effort and not having to worry at all!

To know how to best accommodate them, please make me aware of any behavioral quirks or strong boundaries they may have (excessive pulling, reactivity, incontinence, rough players, etc). I’m confident and comfortable caring for pets that have specific concerns. Preparedness helps ensure the safety of everyone!
