Hi! My name is Westanna and I would love to care for your dog(s) while you are away. I am a communications professional who just moved to Chicago. I am coming up on my 8th year with Rover and I have extensive experience as a pet sitter previously. I work full time from home so can provide midday walks. Happy to answer any questions you might have and I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I do have a dog of my own now. Max is a 100lbs golden doodle who is six. He’s very relaxed and sleeps most of the day but does love other dogs in the house. A meet and greet for the dogs and owners is necessary before I book with you! *If you're interested in seeing my past, present and future doggy clients, check out @westsweeklypup on Instagram* I not only have experience with family pets, growing up in a house that always had at least a dog and a cat, but I have had my own pet sitting business from a young age - having started a pet sitting business in my childhood neighborhood at the age of 10. The extra income has always been nice but the real reason I have been doing this so long is because I love getting to know you and your pets as well as the extra love and fun that comes with happy pets! I have had experience with all types of animals, including small to x-large dogs and cats. I have cared for dogs with special medical needs and dogs who don’t prefer to be around other dogs/animals. I do have space for two dogs, so if you are a two dog household I'd love to have them both! That said, please know it is a policy of mine to never book two dogs who do not already know each other. I’m happy to answer any additional questions you might have or provide references. I look forward to working with you!
