Caring Animal Lover with Big Heart!

Pet care experience

I rescued and took care of my pet cat, Byron, for seven years, and he’s grown from a tiny kitten that fit into my palm into a handsome, wonderful adult!

Cannot say enough positive things about Barbara and Tanner. Consistent communication and very thoughtful in wanting to take good care of our little guy. Needless to say, our pup was smothered with affection, taken on daily walks, and had a heckuva good time while we were away. Thank you so much!

Barbara was so great with kipper, she sent a lot of update photos. I could tell he had a great stay with her and I will use again for future stays!
