“Mercedes is wonderful with Winnie! She keeps me up to date on their visits and makes sure there’s fresh water in the bowl so I don’t have to worry about it when I get home. She also makes sure all Winnie’s toys are picked up after they’re done playing. It’s these little things that make such a difference and I love knowing Winnie is well taken care of when I’m at work. Thanks, again!!”

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I have lots of experience taking care of them, including feeding, walking and above all love. I am currently working part time. I am switching between the Carbondale and Cape Girardeau area. I have lots of free time to deliver pet care to a wide area. I'm flexible and understand that pet owners have specific needs for their animals, and I will cater towards that. For dog walking specifically, I know safe places for walks to ensure your pets safety. Additionally I have a pet seat belt in my car if needed, I am well prepared.
