Hiker & Dog lover! WFH full time

Pet care experience

I’ve owned and cared for pets most of my life, both mine, family and friends- horses, dogs and cats. I sincerely love all animals and believe they should have the best care. I enjoy working with dogs of all ages and I have lots of experience with large/giant dogs and higher energy dogs. I have a very safe neighborhood to provide great care for boarders! Daily walks are the norm in our household!

My grandcat reported he loved Bobbie! I appreciated she attempted to get him to play and was so consistent in her visits.when she came for a meet and greet, Dami immediately went to her for a pet, giving a great check of approval!

As always, they make me feel like they love her enough to really like having her there - it’s not just a job.

Barbara did a great job taking care of my cat, and she did so on short notice.
