Information Birdie R. would like to know about your pet

Are they people and animal friendly? Safe to leave alone? House trained? Feeding times? Treats allowed? Can I take them on a car ride if necessary.

A typical day

I am mostly a couch potato but if the pet likes to play I have toys we can do tug, fetch, go for walks or just watch tv.

love animals but I am a snowbird

Pet care experience

I am in michigan may-sept florida sept-may. Home buddy who loves animals. I Only watch ones that weight 15lbs or less. I have been known to spoil them. I have grandkids that visit and would love to interact with them. I wanted to foster but was afraid I couldn't give them back. I am a snowbird and didn't want to put a pet through flying back and forth. They will force me to get more exercise which I need and am too lazy to do on my own. They are great company, make me smile and good for my health. Was raised with pets and have had several throughout my adulthood. Was a tomboy loved catching snakes, polliwogs, frogs had mice for pets. Will watch all kinds of pets. Available most of the time. I do craft shows so they may have to stay alone for a while.

Roxy does not do well in a boarding facility and this was our first time using Rover. I was nervous, but Birdie sent picture updates daily and really put my mind at ease. Thank you for taking great care of Roxy! Definitely recommend Birdie and will not hesitate to use your services again

Birdie always takes great care of our three dogs. They are happy to return. We have no worries leaving them with Birdie. We will always book with Birdie when she is available.
