Pet care experience
Greetings, I'm a Chicago Public Schools substitute teacher with a flexible schedule where I choose which days of the week I want to work at school. If you need me for full time care, your pet will have my undivided attention (I won’t teach that day). Something that sets me apart is my attention to detail. When I’m a guest of your home, you can guarantee that I’ll be taking good care of it. My reviews from current and past clients can vouch for my cleanliness and hospitality. I have lots of experience in child and fur baby care, currently I don’t have any pets of my own and miss having four-legged friends. I'm fond of walking, running, and biking, so if you need someone who can provide an active experience or a mellow one (shout out to the brachycephalic pups out there). I'm your girl! About me: - Non smoker - Meditator - Currently reading the Chicken Soup For The Soul *anybody remember how popular those books were! There’s a good reason why.
Reviews
We are so grateful for Symone being able to watch our pup while away; it's nice to be able to get away and not have to worry about our pup's care. Symone provided video updates and followed our requests to a tee. Thank you again Symone!
Symone was great with 2 minibernedoodles and 2 cats. She was very active with the dogs but also great with chilling with all four. She provided frequent updates and left the house very clean. We're lucky we found her!
Symone has watched my greyhound several times, and it’s always great. Great to work with and we’ve always come home to a really clean home and a well-cared for dog. My dog also has terrible thunderstorm anxiety and Symone once watched her during an awful storm with no issues. I’d definitely recommend her!
Symone was AMAZING. She watched my dog for 10 days, sent frequent video updates and left my place sparkling clean. Will definitely be using her services again!!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I pride myself on my professionalism when caring for others. I’m very intuitive when reading the energies of pets and have a natural gift at understanding their needs. I consider my instincts similar to Caesar Milan (he may not be the newest name in dog training but his skills are very impactful and current). I have a fenced backyard that connects to my apartment door to provide extra security for your pet. I'm currently not offering boarding services, but that can be negotiated if a client is interested.
Information Symone B. would like to know about your pet
The more clarity provided on the needs of the pet; allergies, behavior, etc.. the better the experience for everyone involved. I want you and your pet to be satisfied with my care.
A typical day
I'm an attentive caretaker that enjoys playing, cuddles, giving belly rubs, and treats. However, I am firstly a rule follower. If you have a routine or care schedule that you need me to adhere to, then I'm on board. Following the rules is my strong suit and I pride myself on my integrity.

Availability
My schedule is very flexible and my work day teaching usually ends around 2:30 pm. HOWEVER, if you need full-time care I will not teach those days and give your fur babies my undivided attention. The distance I travel to you and your pet is not an issue for me, being a city dweller familiar with the neighborhoods of Chicago and its suburbs.
