Highlights
Pet care experience
Fun, Reliable Dog Care 🐾
Hi! I’m a recent college grad in Chicago who loves dogs and spending time outside, going on walks, and getting to know each dog’s personality. I’ve taken classes on animal care and behavior, and I have hands-on experience with both my own pets and shelter animals—so I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs, from high-energy to more laid-back. I’m patient, attentive, and adjust to what your dog needs. Whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I want them to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Working with shelter animals has taught me how to read body language and build trust, so I’m especially mindful of each dog’s boundaries and energy level. I’ll keep you updated so you always know how your dog is doing, and I’ll treat your home with care and respect. I’d love to help make your time away stress-free for both you and your dog 🐶💛

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I provide attentive, safety-focused care in every home I enter, with a strong emphasis on maintaining routine and minimizing stress for pets. I carefully follow all client instructions to ensure consistency in feeding, enrichment, and daily care. I keep the environment clean, calm, and secure at all times: monitoring doors, windows, and potential hazards while ensuring food, water, and litter areas are properly maintained. My background in animal care classes, shelter experience, and hands-on work with my own pets has trained me to recognize subtle changes in behavior and respond appropriately. I approach each pet with patience and awareness of their individual comfort level, especially those who may be shy or sensitive. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can respond appropriately and keep pets safe and comfortable at all times. I treat every home with respect, keep communication open with updates, and make sure you feel confident your pet is in responsible, attentive care.

Schedule
I work full-time, but I make pet care a priority in my weekly schedule. I’m typically available on weekends and can accommodate evening visits after work for check-ins or walks. I’m happy to coordinate a routine that ensures your pet receives consistent, reliable care throughout the week.
