About: Hi, I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for my own pets every day. I’ve raised my sweet dog since she was a puppy—she’s now 8 years old and on a regular medication routine that I manage with care. I also have two cats, a playful kitten and a spirited 2-year-old, each with unique diets and habits I stay on top of. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets, and I bring that same level of love, patience, and attention to every animal I care for. Whether it’s administering medication, managing feeding routines, or simply keeping your pets comfortable and happy, I’m here to help you feel confident they’re in good hands. I’m currently working mornings full time but free after 4:30 Mon, Tue, Thur, and Friday in Peoria. I am very flexible and available all day weekends for overnight stays so I have plenty of time to hang out with your fur babies! I follow detailed instructions tailored to each pet and ensure their overall safety and well-being. Open communication and updates are provided for peace of mind.
About: I took care of my black lab, and then golden retriever when I was growing. People thought I was going to be a vet as I always was around dogs, helping friends with them ( even waking up at 5:30am in college to walk dogs), but ended up being a high school teacher. Would love the opportunity to help you with your dogs where there is a need. I am a high school teacher who has great availability in the summer, and would be happy to work around your schedule in the fall. I am also a Dad of a 5 year old and would be happy to do it in the afternoons in the fall. In caring for them at your home-I would be happy to have your pets do as they normally do. I am happy to walk them in the neighborhood, and run around with them.
