Pet Sitter in Chicago, Illinois

I am a twenty year old student about to start my senior year as an Art History major at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio! I love animals, I am an incredibly active and tidy person, and it would be my honor to care for your home or your pet while you are away - whether it's for just a few hours or a few weeks. My home in Vermont has two dogs and two cats so I am experienced in caring for animals at home. Last summer (2017) I housesat for a few families I was connected with through Wag! (an app for pet-care similar to Uber or Lyft) where I was employed as a dog walker all summer in Washington, D.C. I never received lower than a five-star review for my walks or my long-term stays! Through housesitting I have been provided the opportunity to become comfortable with an area I was previously completely unfamiliar with. I love to travel and discover new places, so housesitting has become a great joy for me! Dog walking is another great way to learn a place, especially its parks and streets, and has been a wonderful facets of my stays in other cities. Since I am new to Chicago I hoped to become more familiar with the city by both housesitting, dog walking, and pet care. Animals and their proper care mean a lot to me. I have years of experience caring for and walking multiple pets at a time, administering medication to animals, and dog sitting. I have been known to tame even the most rambunctious puppy into getting on the leash and encouraging older dogs along a stroll. Almost all dogs warm up to me quickly - even the shy ones! If you entrust me with your pet and home you will know that your space and your dog are in the best possible hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
