My boyfriend and I own a single-family household in Chicago's Clearing neighborhood. We own 2 Yorkshire terriers and a German Shepherd. My dogs are friendly with other dogs and my German Shepherd is very gentle with the little dogs. We are both avid dog lovers and love every type of dog breed and size. Growing up, I've always had a dog that was a part of my family. I work part time as a nurse and have four days off from work each week, so I would love to care for dogs on my free time. I live close to two parks and take my dogs on daily walks around the park, I also have a medium size yard where the dogs can run around and play. I have an extra crate if your dog would prefer to sleep there at night and I also have an extra dog bed for guest. I will take good care of your dog, as if it is my own. I would love to know anything there is to know about your dog, so that I can specialize their care and provide the best care possible. I only take care of 2 dogs at a time from the same household to make sure your dog is in the safest environment possible. Please feel to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover since I was a small child. I've always had an animal growing up. I have experience caring for small and large breed dogs. I love to read dog training books for leisure and I've read Cesar's Way" and read "Dog Fancy""magazines. I have lots of patience with dogs and I know that it takes time and love to train a dog. About my yard My backyard is fenced in and has an ample amount of space for running and playing. I also have a small doggy pool for those hot sunny days. My experience administering medication Yes, I've administered oral medications to my dogs and I'm comfortable administering other routes of administration, if needed.
