My name is Bea, I love spending time with dogs specially if they are friendly and playable. I've done walks for dogs before with patients I've provided my services too. That includes making sure they have their food and water. Always willing to learn new things.
Available afternoons. I do work in Winnetka mornings.
I grew up with dogs and have a true love for them. We do not currently own a dog because of allergies, so I miss spending time with them.
I will provide dog care in your home, especially interested in providing walks, play and love!
