Introduction: Don't over pay for pet care. Invest in a pet care specialist that will help you save thousands over the lifetime of your pet. With in-home health care needs, your pet can stay comfortable and safe while you are away! Have a great vacation knowing your pup/cat/reptile/bird is safe and happy while you are away.
I offer in-home pet care and pet health consulting. Pet sitting services are done in my home, or yours. I travel up to 10 miles from my house, in Glendale Heights. I specialize in hard-to-care pets such as those medically fragile or have temperament issues.
I offer dog walking within a 5 mile radius of my house. I offer discounts for weekly/monthly contracts.
I have worked as a veterinary nurse for the past 11 years, so I am more than qualified to handle all your pet care needs. I have extensive experience with diabetics, renal disease, cardiac conditions and hypo/hyper thyroid disease. I offer doggie/kitty daycare, nail trims, ear cleaning, medication/fluid administration, medicated baths, and patient advocacy.
Pets will enjoy their time boarding at our house. They will have that homey feel and even their own bed to sleep in if they like. I love to let friendly dogs run around with my dog, with full supervision, so they feel more like they are at a doggie daycare (first floor). Dogs will have full run of the second floor, unless owners request they are crated. Aggressive animals will be given their own room and walked four times daily, unless otherwise arranged.
Cats will also enjoy their own room complete with bed/couch to sleep on. Cat scratch carpets will make your furry feline feel right at home. Cat's and dog's rooms are completely separated from each other to ensure privacy, and a stress free environment.
Only 2 boarders will board at any given time unless related, and will be given their own room. Unless otherwise specified, all boarders will be fed twice daily and socialized at least four times daily. There is a veterinarian also on site most weekend evenings that would be able to support me if any of your pets needs are beyond my scope. I love to send picture updates on how your pet is doing while you are away!
Patient advocacy is well-known about the human medical side, but just beginning to emerge in veterinary medicine. Patient advocates help improve care by increasing comprehension between medical personnel and families, and by arranging after hospital care plans. Basically, I can help you understand what is medically happening with your pet when you visit the vet so your pet gets the best possible care, and I help with the healing process afterwards. For example, I can come over and teach you how to give SQ fluids or administer them for you. For pets that are hard to get out of the house I can come over and help you with nail trims, ear plucking/cleaning, and bathing. I can demonstrate how to pill your pet or do it for you if you are uncomfortable.
