Best Grandparents for your dogs

Pet care experience

We are the BEST GRANDPARENTS your dogs will ever have and we have proof.. My husband & I have worked professionally in the Dog Care business in Arizona/New Jersey/Pennsylvania area. We moved back to Arizona in 2015 and have been doing House & pet sitting for friends and family since moving back. We would love to have you leave your dog(s) in our care. We have no dogs of our own at this time and would love to live with your dog while you are away. If they sleep in your bed, they will sleep with us. We will walk your dog frequently and love them as our own while you are gone. PLEASE CHECK MY CALENDAR FOR AVAILABILITY... About this sitter: We love caring for pets in your home. Most owners do prefer for their pets to be able to stay in their own home environment. Having property management experience, we would take care of your home with as much love as we would for your pet. We are honest, mature, responsible adults. If you will be going away and would like us to care for your home as well as your pets, please give us a call to set up a meeting. Barbara and Al My husband and I adopted an cockapoo when he was 12 years old. He ended up going blind and deaf. For many years I was a Licensed Practical Nurse in NJ and am able to administer injections and medications. Our pup was with us until he was 17 years old and had a very happy last few years with us. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all my life. We rescued a 12 year old Cockapoo and he lived to be 17 years old. We have cared for dogs in Arizona when we lived there and have cared for our friends dogs since we moved here. We would love your dog as our own. We only do this for the love of animals. My experience administering medication Yes. Previously a Licensed Practical Nurse.

Once again Barbara and Al took wonderful care of Buddy. It can take Buddy a bit to adjust and Barb and Al were very understanding and loving. Thank you both for the 'at home' feeling that your create as well as your professional 'know-how'.

Barbara and Al were just amazing with Tino, who is 13 and very needy of personal attention all the time. He had meds and supplements to take and they were very conscientious about making sure he took everything. But most importantly, they gave him lots of love, let him sleep on their bed and took him everywhere they went. And to ease our worries since we were away for 2 weeks, they posted lots of pics and reassuring comments on the site. Tino looked like he was having a great time with them so would highly recommend!!

Information Barbara F. would like to know about your pet

Small or medium breeds are our preferences but will sit large dogs in their owners homes, shedding or non shedding are ok with us. Potty trained would be good. We can administer medication, I was formerly a Licensed Practical Nurse. If your dog must be cared for alone at our home, there would be an additional $12 per day charge.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We would walk your dog 4-5 times a day. Making sure they are comfortable with having enough outside time. Your dog's sleeping arrangement In our bed, their bed, their crate, whatever they and you prefer Time I'll spend with your dog I am home every day. The only responsibility I have other than caring for your dog is to drive my grandchildren to and from school from September til June. Extra house-sitting services While staying in your home we would take care of it as our own. We own rental properties in Arizona and are very responsible when it comes to home care. We would take in your mail, water your plants and keep it clean while you are gone. We would act as caretakers for your home while caring for your dog.
