Wildlife biologist/ pet-sitter

Pet care experience

I am a wildlife biologist for the Georgia DNR working for the Urban Wildlife Program. I have years of experience dog-sitting, primarily for large- and medium-sized dogs in the Chicago area. My work schedule is very flexible, allowing me to take my time to care for your critters! A large part of my job is responding to wildlife emergencies using years of experience and best-judgment decision making, which makes for a great pet-sitter.

Stephen was perfect my girls. I appreciate that he was available at late notice and was so accommodating. Lizzie and JuneBug warmed up to him immediately. I am looking forward to using Stephen again.

Blake is fantastic! He has watched my pets many times and I always feel at ease knowing he is here with them. I get the best updates from him while he plays, walks, or relaxes with my pup! I will always go to Blake first when I need someone to watch my pets!

Blake has a gentle, caring spirit and a love for all animals. He enjoys spending time with them and takes care to make sure their wants and needs are met. Belly rubs are one of his favorite treats to pass out.
