I have a fenced in backyard and always stay with them when outside. My house is dog proof so it’s set up with their safety in mind. No chemicals or safety hazards etc. I try to communicate regularly and let you know that your beloved pup is in great care and doing well. If your dog has special needs please let me know so that I can care for them appropriately. I treat your fur babies like my own and want them safe and happy 😃 upon your return.

Let me know if your dog or cat have special dietary or health needs. I have cared for aging animals and new puppies and everything in between.

We like to take pets on walks, play ball, and play in the backyard for excercise. They get plenty of attention and head pets and belly rubs.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for pets for the last 20+ years. I work from home and can provide 24 seven care in my home or can go to your home to care for your beloved pets. I have a nice spacious backyard and we gladly walk pets as daily as well. We love animals and treat them just like family. They will feel comfy and cozy and just like at home. We can cage your animal in the evening if that’s your preference or they can sleep on puppy beds and feel like they are at home. I have experience with puppies and senior animals and everything in between. If you were like our family you’re precious animals or a special family member and you want them cared and loved while away. Many dogs have anxiety going into kennels etc. we do our best to make sure that your animal is comfortable and happy while they’re with us which should give you a piece of mind while your away.

Cara was wonderful! She had the challenge of feeding our adult cats and kittens while we were gone which is a bit of a mad rush because they have to be separated during meals. We really appreciate her attention to detail and "proof of life" photos!
