Pet care experience

I have owned pets for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I have had dogs, cats, ferrets, fish, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even hermit crabs. Most of them were strays and/or rescues that found their way to my home and into my heart. My husband, Lionel has had his share of pets too – a cat, hamsters, and even two orphaned chicks that he rescued from a stable in Staten Island, NY, where he did volunteer work. He joined the Army at 18, and proudly served for 20 years. However, it didn’t allow him to own pets due to travel requirements associated with his military duties. After many years, he was finally able to get his dream dog – a Rottweiler. They spent many happy years together. We have been together for 20 years, and currently have 1 dog and 6 cats that we spoil daily. We are both retired so our schedules are pretty flexible. We follow the owner's wishes because we know separations are stressful. We want to try to make it as easy as possible for your furbabies and at the same time, provide a stress-free get-away for you! We believe in lots of love and attention for any pet. We know they are a part of the family, so we’ll treat your pet as though it was our own. By coming to your home, we believe the pets will be less stressed because the environment is a familiar one. We would be happy to help you with your furbabies!

We could not have asked for better care of our dogs. Barbara and Lionel went above and beyond to help us, as we were new to the area. They sent pictures and messages daily to let us know everything was going well. In addition, they were at the house when we got there, so we could see how well the dogs liked them and how they interacted. They let us know what had been going on in the area and in our home. Got the mail and etc... I don't want to tell everything and spoil the surprise but we will be repeat customers!

I could not have asked for better caregivers for the kids! Not only did they take great care of them but also took great care of the house and wrote notes to me during their stay. I loved the thoughtful touch of sending pictures with notes as if the pets were writing to me. I will definitely hire this couple again highly recommend them!

Barbara and Lionel were fabulous! They were so attentive to our two female 17 week old Golden Retriever puppies. Because it was the first time we spent time away from the pups, they stayed at our house for the weekend. When we got home everything was spic and span clean and the girls were sad to see them leave. The updates and pictures throughout the weekend kept us assured that Chloe and Belle were fine and being spoiled rotten. We will definitely use Barbara and Lionel in the future!
