Expect Pristine Dog Care!

Pet care experience

I've been working with animals for a very long time. I have a 13 year old Shih Tzu named Chugz, the best little boy ever, of whom I was unable to bring with me while transitioning to Florida so he lives in Chicago with my parents. I've trained Chugz to do a multitude of commands including; sit, stay, leave it, money counting, etc. Chugz is apart of my family and has been treated as such since we got him as a baby. I have worked with cats in the past, which I really enjoy because of their uniqueness. I enjoy all size dogs especially bigger dogs who honestly feel like they are supposed to be lap dogs. I will care for your pet as if they were Chugz, I promise to provide update upon request and my cellphone is always on and charged. Puppies, older dogs & bigger dogs are my strong suit, I am willing to always be on call for play dates throughout the week.

Velva was very gracious to come help me out last minute. This was our second visit so I had peace of mind that my pup would be well cared for.

Velva came over two summers ago to watch our 6 year old cocker spaniel, Prince. Both Velva & Prince seemed over joyed to be spending time together so we asked that she take care of him while we were gone to Hawaii for a family vacation. Velva kept surprising us with her amazing ability to take care of our boy the entire week! She’s very adamant on sending video updates showing us the we’re going on their scheduled walk, that she locked the house door after leaving (which we were explicit about) and everything that we requested she have done. Prince was actually very sad the last day that she watched him, we came into the living room dropping our suitcases to greet him but he was concerned for where Velva had gone. She comes by periodically to say hi, which Princey really enjoys.
