I've always been around animals and dogs since I could walk, and when I was old enough to work I knew there would be no better fit than working with animals! I have volunteered at a shelter and worked professionally with animals in a retail environment. Due to a heavy school schedule I had to leave that job but now that Wag! exists I can still work with pups!

I am a semi retired professional with a passion for animals. Growing up on a farm in North Carolina I was exposed to a lot of dogs: hunting dogs, house dogs, guard dogs, herding dogs, etc. The advantage of living on the farm was that you got to play with the working animals when they weren’t working and I spent a lot of time with dogs learning valuable lessons of how they interact with people and other animals and how they think. All through my life I have been around dogs and cats. I have owned three dogs of my own and have had relationships with other dogs belonging to roommates housemates and neighbors. I am very attuned to the challenges of having a pet in the city and understand the importance of seeing that the animals get the proper attention and care. Caring for dogs is not just a job for me it’s a passion and it’s important that I give each dog I encounter the same attention that I would give my own dog.

Dog Walking in Burbank
Burbank is known for its large railroad station in the northern part of the city, which houses hundreds of cars on dozens of railroad tracks. To the northeast is the city limit of Chicago, offering lots of jobs and tourism to the small town. Although the bigger city is a great place to visit, dog-lovers will usually stick to staying in Burbank thanks to the love and great atmosphere the city provides to pups.
Ridgeland Park is an expansive area, with over 11 acres of open, dog-friendly places for dog walkers to visit. The park has 5 baseball diamonds, a soccer field, walking trails, shaded sitting benches, and lots of open space for Fido to run around. Don't forget to leash up your pup when visiting and enjoy some additional amenities, like picnic areas, water fountains, trash bins, and nighttime lights.
Rice Park also provides lots of recreational ballfields, but has a lot more open space for dogs to run around and play, and more trees and paved walking trails that run throughout the space and around the park. Dogs should remain on a leash at the park.
With 4 animal hospitals in the area, dogs will not only have plenty of care, but also have lots of outdoor space to enjoy in Burbank.
