About: If I were looking for a dog sitter I am exactly the kind of sitter I would want. And I am picky! I will dote on your babies. My husband said he's never known anyone who sincerely cares for, and worries about, animals more than me. And he has seen a lot of pet owners because he's a veterinarian. I worry about all of God's creatures, what they're thinking and feeling, are they cold, thirsty, hungry, loved. I am so in love with animals that I became vegetarian 29 years ago. I'm not crazy, I just love animals. I am a college graduate and hold a professional job. Your animals will love me. I can provide frequent high energy exercise as tolerated by each pet. I have plenty of energy to ensure your pet gets adequate exercise and happiness. I care for each animal with individualized love, safety and attention. No animal will feel left out. I've never met a dog I didn't love.

About: I have owned and cared for cats from infancy to old age. I have watched dogs from little to small. I care for horses every day. My lifelong career in security means your house and belongings are safe. I am available when needed. I work at home for myself. My schedule is fluid and can work around appointments. No kids means no emergencies. My pets are well cared for, multiple water sources, well researched foods and vitamins. I clean all animal messes with no issues. I have seen it all before.

“FANTASTIC. If I could leave 10 stars I would. Danielle really came through helping me with zero. If I am ever back in Tennessee I’d go the extra mile to drop him off to be in her care. Super communicative, helpful, resourceful with my needs. Thank you so much for you help!”

About: Welcome to Pecor's Pups! My wife and I have a lifetime of experience caring for all sorts of animals. We love dogs, especially. I have a veterinary care background, as I used to be a vet tech. I also have a Zoology degree and am experienced with various different types of animals and the care thereof. We have an energetic - yet very gentle - Golden Retriever and a rambunctious Great Pyrenees mix so all dogs staying with us must get along with other dogs. We would be willing to separate our pups for periods of time to give your little guy/girl one-on-one time, if that is your preference. We do have the ability to block off areas of the home to separate (from my dogs, or if you have more than one dog and they need separation) if needed. We have a large fenced in yard that is treated monthly to prevent fleas in the area. They can get all the playtime they need! If you don't wish for that, though, then that is not a problem either. I have a very comfortable environment for any and all animals who stay with me, with several dog beds that are washed and sanitized after each stay (and in between often) as well as tons of puzzle toys and enrichment activities if they're interested in that. Otherwise, we will just cuddle and hang out! I will stay strict with any and all schedules (feeding, treats, play time, potty time, medicines, etc) that you provide, but if you don't have a specific schedule for your dog, then I will put them on my dogs' feeding, play, treat, and potty schedule (except for younger or older puppies that may need a little more accommodation in that department) I am very easy-going and easy to deal with. I will also send as many updates via text as you want, with photos and "report cards" of your little ones activities for the day. We also provide baths, nail trims and ear cleanings! Let me know what you may need during your stay with us! If you have any further questions about me or our home and/or our dog and the services we provide, do not hesitate to reach out. We own two businesses from home (Pecor's Pups and another business) so we have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs! I have a fenced in yard and two floors (the downstairs is currently under partial construction to make Pecor's Pups even more accommodating and cozy!) I can separate pets if needed for whatever reason, and there will be a lot of space outside for pups to roam whilst also being completely contained in the safety of my backyard.

Unveiling my pet care expertise: Feline Fandango: Having been a Cat Momma since the age of 6, I am fluent in the nuanced language of "cat" and well-versed in their distinctive needs. Whether it's lively playtime, gentle grooming sessions, or providing a cozy lap to curl up on, I comprehend the intricacies that make cats purr with contentment. Doggo Delight: As a recent dog owner, I understand the profound impact of canine companionship. Although my own dogs have passed away, the memory of their joy and companionship remains fresh.

A Lifetime of Pet Experience: As a lifelong pet owner, I comprehend the joys and responsibilities that accompany the care of your furry family. Every pet under my watch receives the same love and protection as my own, ensuring a nurturing and secure environment that grants you peace of mind while you're away. Trust a dedicated professional, offering not just care but an enriching experience that exceeds expectations. As a stay-at-home homemaker, I have the advantage of having a flexible schedule, which can be beneficial in providing pet care. Stability in routines, potty breaks, feeding times, exercise and play times provides consistency in care. It's important to prioritize the safety, well-being, and overall environment of your pets. I will rely on you to be very specific of your expectations of me concerning the care of your pets. Remember, each pet is unique, and their needs may vary. It's important to understand your specific pet's requirements and preferences in order for me to provide the best care possible. **Please, note: I cannot accept requests if your fur dog is aggressive.
