Pet Caretaker - Vet Grad Student - Pet Sitter and Dog Walker - Savoy, IL

Member since Sep 2020

Hello! I am a full-time veterinary medicine graduate student studying at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. I grew up on a small hobby farm and have experience in taking care of, handling, and training large and small animals. My experience with animals is anything but limited! On my way to grad school, I shadowed and assisted large and small animal licensed veterinarians, volunteered at large cat sanctuaries and studied abroad in Thailand where I worked with rescue elephants. My summers usually consist of daily barn management, pet sitting and dog walking.

I am naturally quiet-spirited and assertive, so I get along quite well animals. In addition to being a full-time student, I currently help manage and clean a local horse barn. I am willing to work with all breeds and species (although I will admit I am not experienced with reptiles). I follow instructions to every detail, am very reliable, disciplined and time-managed. If ever in need of a sitter, walker, or someone to aid in the general well-being of your pet(s), I would be happy to help!

PetWorks Cancellation Policy

Pet Care Professional's Own Policy
If a pet care professional has published their own cancellation or refund policy, that policy governs the refund of the service amount only. Any PetWorks fees, including the Care Coverage Fee and Pet Care Professional Cancellation Fee, are governed by this PetWorks Cancellation Policy and not by the pet care professional's policy.

Pet Parent Cancels
If the pet care professional has not published their own cancellation policy, the service amount is refundable only if the pet parent cancels at least 72 hours before the scheduled start time of the booking. Cancellations within 72 hours of the scheduled start time are non-refundable for the service amount. The Care Coverage Fee is non-refundable when a pet parent cancels, regardless of timing and regardless of whether the pet care professional has their own cancellation policy.

Pet Parent No-Show
If a pet parent does not show up for a confirmed booking, no refund will be issued for the service amount or the Care Coverage Fee.

Pet Care Professional Cancels
If a pet care professional cancels a confirmed booking, the pet parent receives a 100% refund of everything they paid, including the Care Coverage Fee. The pet care professional receives no payment for the canceled service and is charged a Pet Care Professional Cancellation Fee equal to 10% of the service amount, up to a maximum of $150. PetWorks may collect this fee by deducting it from a future payout through PetWorks or by other means if no future payout is available.
