Pet care pro in Champaign

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Jo! I worked in doggy daycare and boarding for 2 years, and I have received pet-specific CPR and first aid training. I've administered oral, topical, and injected medication to dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I love all dogs (and cats!) and would love to get to know your fur babies!

Jo was wonderful! We received frequent updates and photos. We have a dog nervous of thunderstorms and Jo handled it perfectly. All in all everything was great and we will definitely be using Jo again ?

Jo was excellent with our dogs!!! (and our 9-month-old puppy is not easy!) I would most definitely have her back on an as-needed basis. Thank you for your attention.

Jo is a tremendously caring person, who is both good at and enjoys caring for animals. I know that they have had dogs all their life and have seen them have good interactions with other pets.

I have done a lot of petsitting in other people's homes, and I can assure you that you'll never know I was there (aside from a happy, tired-out pup!). I do have a cat and so I tend not to board from my home, but if your pup is good with cats I'm open to chat!

Information Jo S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know of any health or behavioral issues a dog may be experiencing before sitting them--not to decide whether or not to sit the dog, but simply to be prepared to give the dog the best possible sitting experience I can. Any special instructions are much appreciated!

A typical day

I am happy to tailor my approach to whatever your pet needs - I've watched dogs who can only be out in the heat for 10 minutes at a time and dogs who need to be outside for at least an hour. I'm learning all the parks near me in Decatur, and I would love to take your pup to explore them!
