Originally from central Illinois, I come from a very active background. With animals of my own, I find it easy to empathize with others who consider quality pet-care a top priority. I am extremely detail-oriented and want to provide help to all types of households. My experiences as a pet owner have allowed me to understand how worrisome it can be to find responsible pet-sitters who will put in effort equivalent to my standards. I guarantee I will do everything I can to, not only meet your standards, but also surpass them. I have 18+ years of experience caring for domestic animals. I also volunteered for over 8 years at a zoo, and I volunteer with the Humane Society and various additional local shelters. In addition to spending my time in pet-care, I am a freelance photographer and videographer. I spend as much of my time as possible outdoors.
