About the caregiver

*******Bonded and Insured****** When I was working in the professional world, I often wondered how my dogs would fare if they needed to go out sooner than I could get home to them. Now that I am retired, I have time to eliminate that concern for you and devote my time to your special fur babies. I have had dogs my entire adult life and each and every one was special to me. I’m also a Certified Canine Massage Therapist! Through my training, I became familiar with different dog behaviors and temperaments. I volunteer as a dog walker at Animal House Shelter in Huntley Illinois, and also volunteered at the Animal Care League in Oak Park Illinois. We also walk our dogs daily. My husband and I currently have just one dog,Ripley, a Sheltie mix rescued from a kill shelter in Tennessee. We just lost our sweet 14 year-old basset hound/boxer mix,Buddy, to cancer. I am trained in Animal Palliative and Hospice Care, and was honored to help Buddy make it peacefully to the end. I will give the same love and compassion to your dogs.
