With a heavy heart, Nona’s family is saying goodbye.

Nona was my first petsitting dog and the reason that I started offering this service. My friends know about Nona and recognize her photo. Every time I post a Snapchat with her I get so many “omg NONA!!” messages.

She touched many hearts and will be missed. I’ll miss being your big spoon, Nona.

Summer is winding down and it’s time for back to school. If you need lunch time potty breaks now that your regular pet sitter (aka your children) have gone back to school, send me a message and we can work out the details. Limited availability!

Effective immediately, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required for all new customers and payment is due in full by the first petsitting day.

Thank you for your continued support.
I look forward to working with you.

If I get delivery, I always ask that they don’t knock. 😂😭

Since the storm and power outage at the beginning of the month, I have been having ongoing phone issues. I apologize to anyone that has not received a response because I didn’t receive the inquiry or because my response didn’t go through. I’m not sure if it’s a me issue or an AT&T issue but I’m hoping to have it sorted asap.

A little update in my personal life:
After serving as the Finance Committee Chair, I’ll be starting as the Alumni Board of Directors Vice President in September. I’m excited for this new role, and being able to continue to serve my community and alma mater.

WILD Canine Rescue and Sangamon County Animal Control & Adoption Center are currently unable to intake any owner surrendered dogs. Animal Control cannot turn away strays, but there are literally no more open kennels and WILD has no available fosters.

What needs to change?

•STOP GETTING PUPPIES AND DUMPING THEM WHEN YOU DO NOT TRAIN THEM AND ARE SURPRISED WHEN THEY ACT A FOOL.
•DO NOT GET AN ANIMAL IF YOU CANNOT COMMIT TO CARING FOR IT FOR ITS ENTIRE LIFE. 📢📢📣📣
•STOP GETTING ANIMALS IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD FOOD AND BASIC VET CARE
•PREPARE FOR THE UNEXPECTED AND ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN FOR LIFE MISHAPS

(Life happens. We understand every situation is different, but the overwhelming theme is irresponsible pet ownership and seeing animals as disposable.)

How can you help?

•Volunteer to foster: https://wildcaninerescue.org/fostering-information
•Share posts of adoptable dogs on Facebook

How to prevent surrendering your pet?

•Fix your dog. Hormones can cause dogs to wander when they are unaltered (especially males). This also can lead to a litter of puppies that only contribute to the overpopulation of shelter animals.
•Ask WILD for help.
Is your dog escaping and you can’t figure out how to stop them? Ask us.
Need a tie out? Ask us.
Need help with a hole in your fence? Ask us.
Need a trainer recommendation? Ask us.

Commit to your pets. They’re committed to you.

Hi friends! After the tornado that came through on Thursday, I finally have power again. I have several pet sitting inquiries, so please be patient while I work my way through them!

Meet Max. I’ve been watching him over the last year or so. When his family is out of town, I check on him every other day for litter box maintenance, play time, and to make sure his automatic feeder is working.

Braved the hail to get to a dog earlier than scheduled because he is scared of storms. ❤️🐶 If you want a pet sitter that is committed to keeping your pets happy and safe, I might be the one for you.

I wasn’t pet sitting this kitty, but I always find the animal at any party I’m at. #introvert #oneeyedcat

Oliver’s mom contacted me with an immediate need for petsitting. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the opportunity to meet before hand. But I think that was okay. #OliverApproved

Pepper had her 2 week follow up appointment today and got her staples removed. Our vet said she looks great. Pepper is such a happy, sweet soul. She reminds me everyday to look on the bright side and she inspires me to be the person she thinks I am. At the two week mark, we would expect “light toe touching” on the leg that was repaired. Pepper has been walking on it since day 2. It’s all I can do to keep her from running a WWE ring in my living room. She is about 3 weeks ahead of schedule on the healing timeline. This girl is tough as nails.

Pepper has been getting at-home adequan injections twice a week and daily pain medication leading up to her big surgery in March. She’s still living her best life, despite her health issues. Love this girl so much. Here, she is enjoying a heated blanket and some snuggles.

The ending😂😂 I think Cooper is happy to see me.

Congratulations to @Rosario! I’ll send a message and get you a prize!!

If this isn’t the sweetest thing you’ve seen all day. The little tail wags at the end. 😭🥰

Pupdate! I posted a video of Jack yesterday. He was nervous and we were taking it slow. We were building trust and he let me hand feed him. BUT TODAY! Today, he saw me from the window and RAN to meet me at the door. I think the video speaks for its self. So much trust in 24 hours. ❤️❤️

This might not look like much, but we are building trust slowly but surely. Keep in mind he was showing me his teeth an hour ago. I follow his lead, go slow, give him space when he wants it. He’s still suspicious but we are making progress.

A little bit of patience and respect will take you a long way. My first priority is keeping your pet safe. My second priority is building trust with them. Everything I do is filled with love, kindness, and respect. #GuarenteedCuddles
