We live close to downtown Belleville, O’fallon, Collinsville, Fairview Heights. We are not far from Mid america airport, and about 45 mins from Lambert. We can even meet to pick up your pet if that is more convenient for you. I am very involved with my pets and the pets we provide care for. We have a large, fenced in yard and live on a quiet dead end street perfect for walks! I love walking/running with the dogs and am great with daily care, bathing, and just love in general. I am also a professional photographer so I enjoy trying to capture unique images of the pets we watch. Everyone says I have a huge heart & I know I get that attribute from my mother. Growing up, we ALWAYS had a new pet friend who we rescued or took care of. I have a very flexible schedule since I stay home and school my (older ages) kids. My oldest son just graduated and is currently serving for a year on a medical missions team to help the remote villages in Papua New Guinea. If I am not home, my husband will be. Someone is almost always home & we make a great team. My dogs get along great with every other kind of animal there is (we’ve rescued A LOT!!). We recently moved back to this area from Northern kentucky where we had all sorts of animals on our farm. We have a lot of patience and experience with many, many kinds of animals. We mostly work from home, so someone is almost always at home with all of the animals. We try to keep your pet’s schedule similar or the same as they’re used to at your home. We are very much a pet friendly household. We throw blankets over our furniture and let the pups chill with us on the couch. Typically in the evenings, we Netflix & chill and I have at least 2 dogs on me at all times, almost always :)
