I’ve had pets for more than 20 years of my life. I have taken care of parrots, cockatiels, and other birds; fostered cats; raised a pet snake; and now am a dog owner of a beautiful Great Dane! Safe to say, I am experienced with a variety of pets and feel comfortable around them. I’m all about feeding your pets good energy, taking them out for the exercise they need, and about ensuring that they return home to you safely and happy. I am happy to give them any medications or feed them during my visits and send you photos! I can play games with them, take them to trails, and even run with them if needed. This is more of a fun hobby for me than something I do for a living so please be assured that I’m enjoying this as much as your pets are! My husband is also an animal lover and we petsit together so you may see him at early morning drop offs. We don’t have kids but we love all animals as if they were our fur babies. We charge a slightly higher rate because of the high quality and personalized care we provide your babies. They will be joined to our hips all day and night, sleep in our bedroom, get a lot of hugs and kisses and belly rubs, and accompany us on our outdoor adventures and hikes (if they are capable of doing so, of course!) I only take on clients when I know I can commit all my attention to them. NOTE THAT IF YOU ARE BOARDING, we do have a dog in the home. Your dog must be dog friendly if you board with us. Our dog is friendly and does well with other dogs. He is playful and loves high energy dogs but also has a calm presence and knows not to bother older dogs or smaller dogs too much. He is big but he loves puppies! If there are any behavior issues with your dog, just tell us ahead of time. (That doesn’t mean we won’t take on your dog, but we will take precautions, as needed, to monitor and separate the dogs if needed).
