Book now“Discipline and kindness are two words that should always be linked!”
Hey you! Yes you reading this! Looking for a dog walker/babysitter/trainer up for any challenge? (My specialty may be dogs but I’m more than happy to take care of cats as well!) From the smallest cuddliest pooch to charging beasts who absolutely must sniff every single bush they come across... I'm the doggie caretaker for you! Currently I work at a dog daycare as a hands on supervisor! This has given me endless opportunities to interact with dogs of every breed and personality. I’m certain I can click with any kind of dog I’m introduced to! Patience, kindness, and plenty of treats can certainly go a long way!

Book nowHi, my name is Blakely, and I'm currently a junior Biology and Neuroscience major at Lake Forest College. I own a bichon named Bentley and a cat named Baby Ruth, as well as other animals such as gerbils and rabbits. I’m a huge animal lover and I’m willing to take care of any animal I get the chance to. I’ve been raised around dogs my whole life and research information about them in my free time because I believe the more knowledge I can have about an animal, the better. I’m comfortable not only providing the basic food, water, and exercise requirements but also any medicine that an animal might require, as I have experience doing this for both my dog and my cat. I know leaving pets behind with a stranger can be scary, but I promise I’ll do my best to provide the same level of love and care that they would normally receive.

Book now“Let’s go !!”
I have had dogs my whole life. I’ve adopted adult dogs and I’ve adopted puppies. I currently have a 5 years old black lab who is just a goof ball. I have been a doggie daycare worker for 8 years, and recently switch to being a dog trainer. I have been training dogs for about 1 year. I have also taken classes in animal communication and behavior. I look forward to meeting and taking care of all of your fur baby or babies.
