Pet care experience
PROFILE 🐾 EDIT (6/10): Hey folks, the 70% response rate is incorrect. I was in the hospital for a bit and Rover counts it as 'no response' if you don't get back within 48 hours. I reply to everyone, usually within 1-6. It should refresh in a few months. Thanks. Dogs are family, and I’ll treat yours like they’re a part of mine. For the summer only, I'm offering a 10% discount on long term stays of 7 days and over. - 13 years ownership, 5 professional, 2 with Windy City Paws, Chicago’s dog walkers. - Sat and walked for well over a hundred dogs of all types without any incidents. - Trained by WCP in dog behavior and the Red Cross in pet first aid. - For more, please see my reviews, or even ask for a reference!
Reviews
Victor was great! Our dog Buttercup does like a ton of people but he does like Victor.
Victor was great with Max. Sent frequent updates and clearly spent a lot of time and attention. I came home to a very happy pup!
Victor stayed with our doggo for close on three weeks while we travelled overseas, and it was such a relief to have someone we could count on looking out for our old man. The regular daily updates gave us peace of mind.
Victor has been a wonderful additional caretaker to my pup.

A typical day
AT HOME I study remotely, so am always present with the pups. Dogs feel most comfortable with consistency, so I stick to their usual routine, and give them lots of attention and positive emotional feedback throughout the day. ON THE GO I enjoy exploring with the big walkers, and pay attention to the safest routes and favorite smell spots. I match the dog's preferred pace, and make sure they get a chance to enjoy their time in the fresh air.
