Pet care experience

Loving pet care

Loving and responsible pet care in our home. We have been taking care of dogs for over 17 years in our home. We have 2 dogs and 1 cat. We have had long-term, short-term and overnight clients and have provided care for pets with special needs (medication, diet restrictions). All animals are treated as part of the family, no crating is necessary. An adult is home most of every day. We have also provided transportation during stays to veterinarians, (physical therapy at the UofM Vet School) and dog groomers. We are conveniently located in the Uptown area with a fenced in backyard. Hope to see you and your pet soon!

Alyson was responsive, and we appreciated her flexibility as flight plans shifted slightly. Bowie was scared getting dropped off (he thought he was going to the groomer), but she sent a message later that day saying he'd settled in nicely to the pack. The pictures she sent show a relaxed dog. He easily settled into his home routines, which told me he felt safe and secure in her care. A Bowie-approved sitter...would hire again.
