About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 8 years now. I really have a love for dogs and enjoy spending my time taking care of them. I’m very flexible, whatever your dogs needs to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible during my time with them. I like to make sure your dog gets to have some fun and excercise when they are with me I know of lots of trails on and off leash. I also have a large backyard that the dogs I care for just love. Whatever your dog needs day or night I will provide and make sure they feel happy and safe. If you have an interest in seeing more of my work check out my Facebook page @rachellorraniesdogservice I’m currently in school and working part time. My weekday mornings and early afternoons are open for walks and drop ins. I’m also available for boarding during the week and weekends making sure your dog goes out every few hours in between classes and work. I always make sure to find out if your dog is a runner or not. When entering your home I’m always careful about the door and your dog. Making sure no one gets out the house without a leash on is my top priority! Keeping your dog leashed during our walk, and using my knowledge of dog behavior to ensure your dog’s safety. Especially with other dogs we might encounter along the way.

About: Growing up I didn't have pets because my dad was allergic. As an adult, I now rescue animals whenever I can. I truly enjoy their company! I am looking to fill my evenings with activity after my normal 9-5. Looking to help families who need the extra help or want to take a trip! I am very detail oriented, and follow instructions precisely. I care for pets as if they were my own. I respect them and try to learn their likes.

About: Hello! My name is Viktoria. As long as I can remember I had a dog to play around with. The companionship throughout my life made me want to pursue this area professionally. I have had dog since i was a child. I know how to take care of dogs including picking up poop, feeding, and being a source of love and entertainment. I worked at Anderson Animal Shelter as a , a non for profit animal shelter in South Elgin. I learned the importance of giving dogs a routine in a kennel and making sure there physical, mental, and emotional needs were met. For example when I arrived on shift all the puppies (six months or younger) were fed first to give time before the older dogs were fed or taken out. It would ensure extra time to keep the puppies away from other dogs and be able to eat. I learned how to de-escalate dogs with aggressive, overly excited behavior. I obtained a Fear Free certification and have found that it helps to make sure dogs or animals feel safe during stressful periods. I would love to take care of your pooch and make sure that they are given lots of love, attention and care. I am a flexible person and will work with whatever works for both you and me. I look forward to partnering with you and taking care of your furry family! I currently work as a package handler at FedEx Ground. I currently work full time but my hours do fluctuate. I am usually available five times a week after my shift that ends at 9:30am. It ranges as I have an earlier start time. It is easiest if I can communicate with you on an as needed basis via text or email and discuss what your needs are. I am available as of now to walk or board dogs at your home. As of now is doe not work for me to board dogs at my house. As for taking care of your dogs I prefer if we discuss what is most comfortable and safe for you and your dog. I believe in taking care of your pet as you would. I will promise to work with there flow and with you so you can receive the best and most realistic service from me. Any and all questions or concerns can be asked to me in person or over a phone call as I find that's usually the best way to communicate. I work full time as a package handler in Carol Stream early in the morning. I am available the rest of the day to watch ur pooches. I would be willing to come to your home( best option). As of now if you are wanting me to watch at my house it would be on a case by case because my neighbors do have two dogs but I don’t have a fence. I will always make sure your comfortable with me and having me work in my or your house. I will ensure that there is adequate space for the dog to run and make sure there’s a barrier between neighbors yards. If extra protection is needed I would like to now what is best for your pet.
