Highlights
Pet care experience
Let me care for your fur babies!
I absolutely love animals. I grew up on a farm in rural Illinois and have been around cats and dogs (and chickens, cows, and pigs) my entire life. I began volunteering at animal shelters during my freshman year of college. Since then, and now that I have a house, I have continued volunteering by intermittently fostering adoptable cats and dogs. I have mainly fostered puppies, so I am very experienced in potty training, teething, etc. I am experience in senior care as well. We currently have a 16 year old grandma Yorkie, but we also lost our 14 year old Vizsla who had hip and arthritic issues in 2019. I am comfortable administering medicine. But, although I have done them, I am not very comfortable with injections. I require that all pets in my care be up to date on their vaccinations as well as spayed or neutered unless they are medically too young. I work from home on Wednesdays; however, I only work about 15-20 minutes from my house, so I can run home during the day to let them out to go potty if necessary. I have two adorable and lazy cats: Figaro and Belle. I have four amazing dogs: Sophi (16 year old Yorkie mix), Daisy (6 year old Lab mix), Piper (4 year old Aussie mix) and Bailey (a 2 year old St. Bernard/Great Pyrenees). We also recently added a bunny, Cosmo. Cosmo is kept in a separate locked room away from the other pets for his safety. I also have a wonderful daughter that helps me play with and take care of our pets. I will make sure your pup feels at home and gets plenty of attention. Our pets are a part of our family and are allowed on our furniture. Your pet will only be crated if necessary, when I am not home, or if they are potty training. Our backyard is not fenced in, so I take the dogs for walks to get out their wiggles, plus they get plenty of play in our open floor plan.

Schedule
Caring for animals is my hobby. I do work in the office 3 days per week, but my schedule is fairly flexible, allowing me to run home if needed. My daughter gets home around 3:15pm and takes the dogs out and plays with them until I get home.

Pets
A typical day
We have a ton of toys and tennis balls. My Aussie is obsessed with balls and playing catch so that is a game we are constantly playing.
