Hello! My name is Allysum Fox, I'm 27 years old and there isnt a single animal I don't love. My experience with animals is personal and professional; I have helped house sit and pet sit for many years since I was about 17 during my first job at Caton Crossing Animal Hospital. I took care of pets that could not hear, were blind, needed medication and as well as complete healthy and happy ones. My personal experience with animal's dates back to early childhood- My first pets were a calico cat named Tiky Tok, a jack russel terrier named Cammee and an iguana named Iggy. As I got older I adopted hamsters, reptiles, fish, mice and rats! Basically excluding birds, you name it I had. Currently I have a male terrier mix I had rescued from Joliet Animal Control 6 years ago. His name is Rizzo, he has one pointed ear and one floppy, an underbite, an impressive beard and the most soulful eyes I've ever seen. Adding those ridiculously adorable features to how incredibly loyal, goofy, affectionate, well behaved and gentle he is I could not have gotten more lucky.

My hobbies include going on walks, reading, drawing, playing some video games and of course spending quality time with my family and pets.

I have open availability to provide any of the services above as I'm not currently working, by choice. After years of working in three different vet clinics I noticed that while the work IS rewarding and I never went home mad at my job the problem I was often facing was the pay. So I made the choice to try doing something I've always had a natural talent for but never taped into and bought myself all the supplies I would need and got the certification online to be a tattoo artist. Since I am still very new to it all and still need months of practice I thought I would go back to what I knew I was good at, pet care, to fill all the open time I have.
