Dogs like me and I like them. My own dog is a trained working Therapy Dog. He is my constant companion and I will treat your dog just like my own. Long or short term care is my specialty. In fact, I recently cared for a dog for 3 months while her owners were out of town. I currently operate a dog sitting/walking service and can provide references upon request. I am Bonded and underwent a recent background check. I am at your service and here to help you. I recently moved back to the Chicago area, and am able and willing to provide an awesome experience for your pet. I have been a professional dog walker for 9 years and am a lifelong dog owner. I was recently named the Neighborhood Favorite for Pet Services by the Next Door Community of Boerne, TX. Dogs see the world through their noses. They’re amazing…do a search & you’ll gain a new appreciation of them. That is one reason, I place a higher priority on their sensory enrichment then even the walk itself. It’s their time after all. As a result, I think it makes them calmer & less apt to pull. This approach does require greater alertness on my part to insure that my client neither rolls or eats what they are so interested in. Sorry, for the the small price increase. However most of my walks run 40+ minutes.
