Information Arlene C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know ahead of any special needs. Must be good with other dogs. All dogs are taken care of as individuals. No one is in a crate unless you asked for a crate for them. Your dog will be very happy when you pick them up.

A typical day

From the experience of going out of town and needing someone I could trust to care for my animals like we do the outcome was starting to do this myself. I make sure they get what the owner wants them to have and what the owner wants me to do for their baby. They have hands on love all day. I play music for dogs and snuggle with them each individually. Sometimes there's one that wants it all the time but they have to take their turn and all of them always have. Dogs tend to love me like they love you as their owner. So if you want your dog in a stress-free situation it's here.

Working long hours?

Pet care experience

I'm certified in CPR emergency vet services and have watched dogs in my home for years. If you are working long hours and or regular hours and need someone to take care of your dog while you're at work, I'm the one. Sometimes when we leave our dogs alone at home while we work they can get into a lot of things. They can get bored. They can be destructive and they get very lonely. Most of the clients that I work with have a job work long hours and their dogs at times have torn their house, their furniture or whatever they can find completely up and then they have such a mess when they get home. We love our dogs. We love them more than anything and it's hard to come home like that. So if you're tired of it and need someone to help, I'm the one for you. I'm retired. I have two dogs that are so used to other dogs. They don't get out of my sight. Believe me. I have leashes harnesses beds. Anything they need? Lots of toys and lots of activity. I don't have a fenced-in yard but that's why I take small dogs and I can walk them two to three times a day. Whatever you would like to have done. They are allowed on my furniture and in bed with me if they happen to spend the night. They have full run of the household just like mine does. My two dogs are small and they love other dogs after their first initial visit. My dogs are used to other dogs in my house that are not mine and we all get along. Meet and greets are essential. I love animals of all kinds, but I find that dogs are my ones that I can handle the best. It gives the owner peace of mind knowing that their dog is with someone that will take good care of them. So if you need somebody like me just me know. We'll see what we can work out. Randomly I will be able to watch them overnight. If something happens you have to work late or the weather gets bad and you can't make it to my home. That's not a problem. I've got a big bed and lots of blankets and lots of pillows and lots of dog beds if that's where they like to sleep. 🐾 All dogs must be up to date on shots and flea and tick medicine. All dogs will be checked when they come to my house to make sure that there's no fleas. If they do have fleas then I will bathe them And let you know that they need flea and tick medicine before they return. I have plenty of references if you request.

Arlene is a God send!! We had a very bad experience with another Rover and were quite hesitant to trust another, but when we met Arlene it was a match made in heaven. We don’t trust anyone else with our dog. She truly cares about him and he’s ALWAYS excited to see her when we leave town. She really does treat our dog like her own. Arlene is the best!!!

We love Arlene! She has been so amazing with our high energy fur baby. He always has an great time and I know he is well taken care of when she watches him for us. We highly recommend her!

Lucy loved her stay with Arlene. Arlene’s home is very convenient to the Tryon Palace and to New Bern restaurants and waterfront.

Arlene is terrific. She has an obvious rapport with dogs and will treat your dog as if it’s her own. I will use Arlene for any future boarding needs without hesitation.
