Experienced Care Provider - In Home Pet Sitting - Springfield, IL

Member since Dec 2024

I have been in the pet care business over five years now, but have been a pet owner and lover my entire life. I began this journey after my divorce as a temporary supplement to lost household income and the expenses of a divorce, but my love for the work and my business has grown to a base of dozens of clients and I'm looking to grow and expand even more. I never thought I would enjoy it this much and not only has it brought me supplemental income, it has been wonderful caregiving and life lessons for my sons. I have clients who are like family and pets we think of as our own. It's a business yes, but so much more. I also have found, I'm very good at it. I have the needed comfort and confidence with meeting new pets, I am persistent, I am consistent, very professional, trustworthy and organized, all things necessary to maintain a large client base and keep them coming back to me over and over. I am looking for consistent clients, where I can grow the relationship with your pet, so they trust me and look forward to stays at my home or my visits to theirs. I have provided a variety of services through the years from pet boarding, doggy day care, drop in visits, taking to grooming and vet appointments, drop in visits for cats, a friendly ear during a families loss and much more. Please contact and book me on Petworks. Thank you.
