Pet care experience

Playtime at my house!

I have more than 50 yrs experience caring for my own dogs from puppies to seniors and almost 3 yrs dog sitting. My husband and I enjoy playing ball and walking the dogs also Rudy; our 11 year old Shih Tzu loves having new friends come and stay with us We do not crate dogs! We have a fenced in yard and we love to take the pups for walks at local parks (not dog parks) if permitted by the owner. I only take 2 dogs at a time, this allows the pups to get the attention they need while you’re away 😋

Arleen was wonderful! Very communicative and sent photos daily. I could tell my dog was comfortable and happy staying with her.

Arleen is great! She took good care of our Gidget and kept us posted on how she was doing. She treated Gidget special, just like she was her own. She sent us pictures and videos to put us at ease. Her dog Rudy is a sweetie and was a good playmate for Gidget. I highly recommend Arleen for anyone looking for a pet sitter. The special attention she received from Arleen was much better than a boarding kennel could have provided.

We had such a wonderful experience! Arleen and her husband were fantastic and made us feel comfortable right away. Their dog, Rudy, is such a sweet boy and welcomed our girl, Vegas, immediately. We were quite nervous leaving her because she struggles with separation anxiety and is very attached to her mom but within an hour, Arleen sent photo updates of Vegas snuggling in their laps and giving kisses! It was such a relief. We are already looking forward to our next getaway knowing Vegas is in such great hands.

Arleen, is the best pet sitter we have ever had. She was thorough in getting to know the needs of my pet and making sure she was well taken care of. She took her on walks, shared pictures, and spent time with her. I would highly recommend Arleen and give her more than 5 stars.

Arleen was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I met her, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely caring she is with pets. My dog stayed at her house and absolutely loved playing with her dog, Rudy. She kept me updated and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup. I can’t recommend Arleen and John enough and would trust her again in a heartbeat. 🐾
