I have cared for and raised pets for over 30 years. As a rancher in Illinois, I cared for over 15 horses while raising cattle and breeding Neapolitan Mastiffs. Being a Veterinarian Technician for several years, I learned how to deal with all types of temperment and needs as well as first aid for my pets. I currently own an English Bulldog, a Labradoodle, and a Mastador (Labrador Mastiff mix) as well as a cat and several chickens. Being retired allows me the flexibility to meet your pet and house sitting needs. In addition to the above mentioned services, I can perform errands, light house keeping and shopping based on your needs. The fees for these additional services would be negotiated prior to the pet or house sitting.
