I'm stepping in to help out as well! So if anyone out in Aroma Park needs some help right now let us know!

🐾 Pay-What-You-Can Pet Care For Families Affected by the Storm

My heart truly goes out to all of the families who were impacted by the tornado and severe storms yesterday, March 10th. I can’t imagine how overwhelming it must feel to navigate the damage, clean-up, and uncertainty right now. 💔

If your home or neighborhood was affected in the Kankakee / Aroma Park area, I’d like to help where I can. “Bee There” Pet Care was built on the idea of being there for pets and their people and right now feels like one of those moments that really matters.

I’m offering pay-what-you-can drop-in visits and dog walks for pets for families dealing with the aftermath. Situations like this can mean dealing with clean-up, insurance calls, repairs, or even being temporarily displaced, and sometimes pets need a little extra help during times like this. 😢

Visits can include things like:
• potty breaks
• feeding
• short walks
• playtime or snuggles
• checking in on pets while you handle everything else

Because I do have an existing roster of clients, this will be based on availability, but if I have room in my schedule I absolutely want to help however I can.

If you or someone you know in the KANKAKEE / AROMA PARK area could use a hand with their pets right now, please send me a message and we’ll see what we can make work.

🤝 LOCAL PET SITTERS: If you’d like to collaborate on this and help support families in the area, please reach out. I’d be happy to add your name to this post as an additional contact so we can help as many pets and families as possible.

I would especially love to connect with pet sitters who are more local to the LAKE VILLAGE, INDIANA disaster path, since the tornado also went through that area. If you’re nearby and able to help, please reach out and I’ll gladly add you to the list so people closer to you can access your services.

📌 Pet-related resources: If anyone knows of local resources that could help pets or pet owners right now (temporary supplies, vet help, boarding, foster help, etc.), please share them in the comments or message me and I’ll add them to this post so everything is easy for people to find.

📣 Please feel free to share this post. hopefully it reaches someone who may need it.

Stay safe out there everyone. Hugs and prayers to all. 💛
