I love all animals-great and small!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a young girl. Nineteen years ago I went full-time with my pet-sitting and haven't looked back. Pets are truly my passion. While I love doing drop-ins and walks with my canine friends but my boarding services are for kitties only. I treat all the animals in my care as if they are my own. Lots of love and attention goes into each visit. For cats who are boarding with me, that means staying in kitty heaven (also known as my bedroom).
