About: I have worked with pets since I was 15. I was a veterinary technician for many years before retiring to raise my two children now that they are grown and moved out I would like to spend my time caring for pets and providing a safe and loving environment with activities. I am a stay at home dog mom therefore my schedule is open to accommodate any schedule needed. If late night hours are needed we can definitely make a plan. I have partial fencing and 4 acres of wooded land. My basset hounds have gps remote collars and I also have extra collars for visitors. I'm outside with the boys either gardening, swimming or playing with the dogs. I have curious hound dogs so I'm constantly keeping tabs on them and I would do the same for your pets. I also have an indoor crate if needed when I leave.

About: I love taking care of animals because I like to reciprocate the love they give us. I feel i relate to animals very well and enjoy seeing them happy. I recently retired and have always wanted to work with.animals. I live in an area that is very suitable to dogs as many neighbors have pets and I know most neighbors from working my dog. I make sure the pets get exercise, food and water. There will be plenty of toys and things to keep them busy. They can sleep in comfort either in or out of be what is preferred.

“Lucie took great care of our pug Lucy. She kept us updated through out the day with messages and pictures. I felt really good about leaving our pug with Lucie because she is clearly an animal lover.

“Jessica was awesome!! We reached out to her because we were in need of a day care at the last minute. Not only does she have great reviews but she is close by, which was so convenient for my husbands and my schedule. Our Opie was well taken care of and had so much fun paying with her fur babies, he even whined a little on the car rides back home. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our baby. Thank you so much, Jessica! Will 100% bring Opie back!!”

Mic volunteered to look after him.He recently lost his dog of 16 years and is not ready for another pup just yet. Mic walked Cody everyday and I could tell he really enjoyed having a pup around. I never worried about his care while I was gone. I would highly recommend Mic.”
