Pet care experience

Pet lover - Beagle mommy

I had a German Sheppard from elementary school to high school. (RIP Peppy - my first love) In high school, adopted a Beagle, whom has SO much energy. (My second love - Penny) Moved out to Chicago and my mother kept her in NY. Now I am looking for the next animal to love, walk, feed, and play with while out here. I understand and follow feeding schedules and walking schedules and if you’re babies are on any medications, please let me know! (beagles are prone to being overweight so I made sure she ate and also exercised). I am available for most days during the weekdays and weekends.

Symone was the perfect dogsitter for our 5 month old puppy while we were on vacation for a week. She was so kind, communicative, attentive, and caring. We’re so grateful for her wonderful care!

Symone is an incredible sitter. She kept my dog at her apartment when I was out of town. She is incredibly kind and treated my dog wonderfully. She sent pics and updates throughout the stay. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her services!

We love Symone! This is our second time requesting her to watch our dog. Our dog is always well-taken care of, and it gives us a huge peace of mind when we know he is with her. We will keep requesting Symone for as long as we can.

Schedule

I currently WFH 2 days a week, but I live close to the loop so I typically come home on lunch for mid-day walks and lunch if your baby should need it.

Lives in an apartment

Non-smoking household
Has no pets
No children present
Dogs not allowed on bed

Safety, trust & environment

Typically animals have free range of the kitchen and dinning room area, but if a client advises to leave the dog in the restroom (for example) when left alone, that is easily achievable. Whatever the client and dog feels most comfortable with works for me. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed on my bed so please ensure the dog has a bed to sleep on when being dropped off.

A typical day

There is a huge dog park across the street for dog friendly dogs. I am within a great area for dogs to sniff around as there are tons of scents for them to smell. If you have enrichment toys, please be sure to drop them off as well, love for them be occupied without having to be exhausted.

I would like to know the dogs age, breed, and size. I would like to know of any special diet, if they've had surgery before, and any other medical history you believe would be important.
