About: Growing up in a "Big Cat" Zookeeper's loving family taught me how to love and respect our furry sweethearts! It's so hard who to know you can trust your babies with, but your gut instinct should guide you. Most importantly, we all know to read our pets response to the caregiver you choose. I am always just as excited and goofy to see and love them, as they are to see me! You're invited to meet my family, home, and of course my pets, so you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing they will be so loved and safe with me, as well as my retired Police Officer husband and Sweet, 90yo retired Zookeeper Dad who lives with us on our 5 acres. Your pups are welcome to come play here too. My grown sons are an awesome Paramedic and Christian Mech. Engineer who like all of us in our clan of 20 Extended members, adore all animals! Retiring as we speak to start enjoying life with our pets, family, and so you can be rest assured your pets are getting the love, attention, and exercise you want for them, when you can't. We have acres of play yards for our dogs and look forward to keeping your pets happy and healthy in their safe, comfortable home areas.

About: I have had both cats and dogs since I was born and have lots of experience providing care for many ages, behaviors, and disabilities. Over the last few years, I have aided with foster dog care, and while it can be challenging, it is very rewarding. Over the last few years, I have seen seniors, puppies, and pregnant dogs come through the home, and I always try to provide the best care I can while trying to find homes that are a good fit! I am working a part-time job at Carthage College and have ample time to help provide care. During the weekdays, I am quite flexible with my availability. On weekends I have lots of flexibility as well in order to provide ample support and care for pets. I am very active, so I am more than willing to provide walks and activities for your pup! If your dog needs medication, I am able to administer it when needed. I can also provide time outside and around the home if the dog must be in a crate.
