I've lived in Southern Illinois my entire life and have deep roots in the area. I've had dogs and cats most of my life. I started watching other's pets around 10 years ago and have no problem handling big and small dogs of any breed, as well as cats. I look forward to continuing in this line of work with new clients on Rover. My schedule is widely open throughout the week and weekend as this is now my full time job. I have a big fenced in back yard and pet friendly neighborhood, in which I walk my dog regularly. Dogs are allowed on furniture and never left unattended. Smoke free home. I have one cat and one large senior dog who is a sweetheart, but can be kept separate from your dog if preferred. I am happy to send pics and updates of your pet. I have very flexible hours, so I will be able to accommodate you & your pets according to your schedule. Your pet is my priority. I have a fenced in backyard and a very pet friendly neighborhood in which you will see people walking their pets on a daily basis. Your pets will have my undivided attention at all times.
