Critter cuddles are the best!

Pet care experience

In my daily life, I work for Kootenai County District Court as a deputy clerk. My hours are 9:00am to 5:30pm, but if you're within 15 minutes of the courthouse, I can visit your pets during lunch breaks. While my day job pays the bills and has great benefits, it doesn't feed my soul the way critters do. *Volunteer with Virginia German Shepherd Rescue for 10 years. *Volunteer with the Virginia Zoo for one year. *Former mom to three German Shepherds and one Grumpy cat, who've, sadly, all passed. I miss their love, warmth, and goofy personalities. I love all animals, and have been successful at taming even the most timid and scared ones. There are no "bully" breeds as far as I'm concerned.

I think my pups like Arlene more than me now 😊. Highly recommended.

It’s clear that Arlene loves dogs! We felt very comfortable having her in our home and leaving our fur babies with her. Also extremely accommodating with meeting up beforehand. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent. Our dog Molly was the most relaxed after us being gone for an extended period of time. Will use her in the future.

Information Arlene S. would like to know about your pet

Obviously anything relevant to their care. Aside from that, any previous injuries, allergies, special needs, and such. I have no breed preferences or fears. They're all sweet babies to me.

A typical day

Whatever makes your pet happy is what I'll do. My only limitation is if I consider weather conditions to be too adverse to safely engage in outdoor activities.
