I had birds and a cat for 14 years. After my cat died, I decided it would be too hard to be a pet owner again, only to lose another pet. So I decided to foster, which for me was the next best thing. I fostered for many years in IL. I am a lover of all animals great and small. I cannot pass an animal without trying to pet it. I'm actually interested in returning to school to be a vet tech. I do have a full time job but I am able to do drop in visits before I go to work and during the day to check on your pet. If you allow me to sit and/or walk your pet, they will be given a lot of love and attention.
