- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I moved to Chicago from the UK a few months back and I had to leave my beloved dog with my parent's as she is far too old to travel now. I miss her dearly and have always had a love of animals so I decided to start taking care of other people's pets. I absolutely love it. I love the time I get to spend with the animals and I love how happy they are to see me arrive.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Look for somebody who is local to you, especially when hiring a long-term dog walker. You need to know that they are able to get to you in extreme weather and are not going to get stuck in the Chicago snow storms or have a "car crisis"!
