About: I’ve had dogs all my life! From family animals to my own, I’ve had 10+ years of experience with dog care including medical care for own pups. I work full time from home and have lots of time to love on your animals! If local to Elgin, I can do drop in visits. And if your animal is staying in my house while you’re away, they’ll receive lots of love and care! As a mom of 2 toddlers and 2 dogs of my own, I make sure I put safety at the forefront of my care. I have a fenced in yard on a half acre so there’s lots of room for your animal to play safely! I keep my indoor space incredibly safe as well and make sure animals don't have a way to get out.
20. Zoe R.
