Pet care experience

Since I was a child. I have always had a love for dogs. Big Pups, small pups... I love them all. Being a Dog Nanny IN YOUR HOME is my full-time job. Most of your dogs have had someone home for the last 5 years due to the pandemic. Now that life is starting to return to some kind of normalcy. Things are changing for them. They may be in need of that: •mid-day walk and or play session •daycare in your home for a day or recurring •day sits | night sits Going on vacation? No problem, I stay at YOUR home while you travel. Going on a Work trip? No problem, I stay at YOUR home while you travel. •Getting married? Want your pup(s) in the ceremony but not at the reception? No problem, I am a wedding pet attendant. I pick your dog up from your home. Dress them (if clothing is provided) uber Pet them to the event. Guide them through the event/pictures. Then Uber pet them back home/hotel and sit with them till your requested booking ends. Visiting Chicago from out of town? With your animal(s)? Yes, I stay at hotels | B & B's with your pet(s)! You can trust that your animal(s) are safe with me. I currently do not own any pets due to my work obligations. So this ensures your dog(s) and or cat(s) get all the attention. I am also a personal trainer. So I will keep your pup(s) ACTIVE. Big dog..? No problem! Im a powerlifter 😁 No adventure will be too much for us. 💪 I do specialize with Reactive dogs who have anxiety, seperation anxiety, PTSD, ETC....

Trisha was wonderful! Max immediately liked her and she kept us updated every step of the way for the entire weekend. Our little puppy was in great hands and we will 100% be using her again!

Trisha was absolutely wonderful with my sour patch kid of a dog. She’s very shy around people and I was worried leaving her with someone new for two weeks, but my concerns quickly melted seeing how patient Trisha was with Frank. She updated me regularly with pictures and I felt great knowing my dog was in great hands. Will definitely use her again!

Trisha was great! We needed someone to watch our pups when we were passing through on a road trip, and she was wonderful! She was super responsive ahead of time in the chat, and was very helpful in getting everything set up. The space was great and you could tell right away that she fully welcomes the dogs in her care to make themselves at home, and the pups felt comfortable right away. She took great care of our dogs and when it was time for us to pick up the dogs, she brought them out to the car with all their gear. If we are ever passing through again and need someone to watch the pups, we will definitely book with her again!

I had an excellent experience with Trisha! I have an elderly dog and an elderly cat with a couple of health concerns, and I was really nervous to leave them with someone new for the first time. Trisha was able to completely set my mind at ease during our meet and greet. Both of my girls loved her right away. She made it clear that my girls would be her top priority while I was away and that matched the experience that we had! Trisha stayed in my home and followed my instructions exactly. She sent numerous photos and updates every day so I never had to be concerned about how things were going (even though I was camping and didn't have great cell service to respond). She especially took care to make sure my dog didn't get overheated with the heat wave that came through while we were gone. She was flexible with the start and end times of her stay. She left my home completely clean. I'm so glad I've found someone in Chicago that I can trust with my pets and my home!
