Pam has several years of experience in the pet care industry, in addition to being an animal guardian herself.  She understands that your pets are part of your family and will provide them with the same care and attention that she provides to her own companion animals. Excellent references are readily available upon request.

Pam does not hire independent contractors or employees, which means there is little chance for miscommunication in regard to the care of your pets. An emergency back-up walker is available in the event that Pam is ill or otherwise unable to provide service on a given day.

Pam's Pet Care is fully insured through Pet Sitters Associates, LLC (PSA). This insurance includes Special Property Endorsement (better than bonding - visit www.petsitllc.com to learn more).

Dogs are walked individually, rather than in packs or with any dogs unknown to the owner.

Pam is Pet CPR and First Aid Certified through the American Red Cross of Greater Chicago.

Dogs are kept on-leash at all times and cats and other small animals are not given access to the outdoors except with special permission from the owner to do otherwise. This is to ensure the safety of your pet(s) while in Pam's care.

Your pets remain in the comfort of their own home, following their usual routine, while receiving loving, personalized attention.

Key security: Keys are marked with codes, rather than with your name or your pet's name. The code sheet is kept separate from other paperwork at all times, as are the keys.

Service fees are among the most competitive in Chicago.

Professional Memberships:

• Professional United Pet Sitters (PUPS)

Rescued animals are very welcome with Pam! Although she does not turn down or ask questions of any client, she strongly believes in the practice of adopting animals from shelters and rescue leagues, rather than buying animals from pet stores or breeders (See “links” page for more info).
