Reasonable prices - wonderful care

Pet care experience

Due to issues with marking, I will only sit female dogs. I have two small rescue dogs of my own - both are under 15 pounds and gentle and playful with one another. I'll pamper your dog just as I do my own with plenty of cuddles, a calm environment and a fenced yard for potty breaks. I have extensive experience with dogs on med schedules and special dietary needs. When not out to potty - your dog will be with me - indoors. I am Sixty five years of age and a responsible homeowner. There are no children living in or visiting my home. Having your pet in my home is a privilege and I will always provide the optimum care for your pet. Please come visit me! Plenty of love and attention will be given to your pet. Walks, playtime & fetch. Unless provided a crate, your dog will sleep with me and my two small dogs, unless owner requests they be crated, or the breed or age of pet makes sleeping on a bed inadvisable. Effective 7/27/21: Any medical needs, special diet or requirements, a written list of that/those condition(s) is required.

I don’t have to ever nudge Hilde into Laura’s home and loving care. Hilde runs at break neck speed to begin her time with Laura and her fur-babies!

Please let me know in advance, if your pet has behavioral issues such as: excessive barking, food guarding, “scooting” to empty anal sacs or biting. Any that do and it hasn’t been disclosed, will not be booked again.
