Safety, trust & environment

I am unable to provide services in my home at this time. However, when clients go away I go to their homes multiple times a day and offer 30, 45, or 60 minute visits. During extended visits I also take care of client's homes.

Information stephanie w. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog/cat/other have any allergies? Does your dog/cat/other have any habits I should be aware of? Does your pet have a favorite toy or activity they enjoy doing? Is your dog friendly with other dogs? Animals? Strangers? Children? I do not have any breed preference. I have experience with all sizes, breeds and ages.

A typical day

I am very active and I enjoy walking, jogging, riding my bike and just being outside. Whether we are on a walk, in the back yard, rolling in the grass, or hanging out in your home playing with toys and cuddling, your baby will be happy and loved.

Professional Pet Buddy

Pet care experience

I provide excellent care to all of my babies here in Naperville and surrounding areas. I develop strong relationships with my clients and I make sure everyone is comfortable and the needs of everyone are met who are under my care. I establish strong bonds and relationships with all of my clients and I would love to add more buddies to my schedule. I’ve had a dog my entire life. We have a dog who we adopted from a shelter and has been with us for over 12 years. She is a happy, shy 14 year old who loves her two cat brothers. We also rescued a cat that was left behind when his owner moved and a kitten that was separated from his family during a tropical storm. I couldn't imagine living without an animal in my home to love and care for. I am trained in CPR and First Aid and I have a lot of experience with kittens/puppies, seniors, walking dogs, playing with all types of animals, providing basic care, administering medication, dog/cat/guinea pig/hedgehog/fish, etc. sitting and giving all animals love. I am open to taking care of just about any animal! I volunteered at an animal shelter for over three years and after a few years of being a part time pet buddy, I made it my fulltime career. I could not be happier! Sometimes life can become a little hectic and schedules become tight. That is where I can help! I can hang out and give amazing belly rubs, play with their favorite toys, go for walks, run in the grass or just give extra love and cuddles while you are at work or away from home. I am patient and I can adjust activities according to the needs of your baby. I currently am unable to provide services in my home. However, I will schedule multiple visits a day if you are in need of extended care while you are away from home. I provide detailed notes and tons of pictures after each visit! My visits can be 30, 45 or 60 minutes long.
