Pet care experience

Loving care when you’re not there!

I've cared for pets since I was 7 and love all animals. It was hard to lose our dog a few years ago and are not quite ready for our own, but we are ready to open our home to help care for yours.

We had a wonderful experience with Barbara, first time using her. She sent daily updates with a little message about how our dog was doing, along with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while away. It was clear he was well cared for and happy. Highly recommend!

Barbara was amazing, she was able to take Lucy due to a family emergency and did such a wonderful job! Pictures every day of Lucy going on walks and snuggling with her family were very comforting. I am and will continue to be a repeat customer!

Safety, trust & environment

We have no pets, so we can give our full attention to your fur baby. We have a great neighborhood for walking dogs and a clean house.

A typical day

Our neighborhood has a great 3-mile loop and even off-road trail through wooded areas for shade and a change of scenery. We can play fetch and tug-of-war in the yard and then snuggle up at the end of the day. A typical day would include at least a 30-minute morning and afternoon/evening walk and frequent outdoor trips, lots of petting and attention.
