I will love your fury babies!!

Pet care experience

I have loved and had dogs with me my whole life. I like very small to very large animal. I have retired after 20 years at my job with the State of Texas. Currently I have one shelter dog and a surrender dog in my home they are both 3 years old and love other animals. I also offer the option of two home and can watch your dogs separately if needed. I have 16 year old son you loves to help me. We love all animals. I have cared for sick, wheelchair bound and volunteered at local shelters in the past and provide shot therapy for those that have needed it. I think of my dogs as my fur babies and my mom would buy toys for what she called her grand puppies every year. I take my dogs in my car and they absolutely love it. Some animals just want love and attention others need more services I will work out a plan with the owners to suit the animals, the owners and my needs for the period of time I have your animals. In one home, there are no dogs and I can watch all types of animals independently. It all depends on what there needs are. But they are all valued babies to me big or small. Let me love your animals for a day a week or a month. i’m completely retired now and am open to in home setting if that is what you want. Let’s set up a meet and greet and work out the details. i cover Lufkin, Diboll, Huntington, Nacogdoches Center and Martinsville Texas. i have a home in Apple Springs ( in town country) and Martinsville ( farm like) I am retired so your pet would be my priority. My schedule is open to you and your animals needs. Let’s meet and talk about what you are looking for in a sitter. I have two dogs at one home and no animals currently at my country home. My dogs interact well with other dogs and my son loves to take long walks with the dogs. Cats are welcome in my home as well. i’m lucky to have the option of boarding locations.

My dogs really enjoyed themselves. One of them even longingly stared back at Barbara’s house as we drove off. She made them feel at home, and her dogs got along well with mine. She has a doggy door and a nice little fenced yard for the dogs to play in. I will definitely re-book!

So glad my doggie girls got to stay with Barbara! She went above and beyond, making sure their owner knew how well they were doing. Frankly I think they may want to trade me for her! Thank you, Barbara, for treating us like family!
