Highlights
Pet care experience
Lover of all animals.
I took a break from Rover for a couple years but I am back!!!! I love animals with more than 30 years of pet care (cats, dogs, birds, mini horses, chickens, rabbits, goats, koi, reptiles). I can help with drop ins at your house to care for your pets several times a day and pet sitting in my house. I currently have dogs, cats and birds. I also had koi fish for ten years and two huge tortoises. Years ago I fostered for the Houston sheltie sanctuary, and I continue to help rehome/rescue pets. I connect more with animals than most humans. I have helped birth kittens and pups, hand feeding baby birds and had a working small farm with goats, a pig or two, chickens and mini horses. If your pet has any special needs, allergies, medications, health risks, medical conditions, special food/treats or tempermant concerns, please share! The more info provided, the better the quality of care and attention. Additional fur babies can have a rate discount. Please check out additional services. If you prefer your fur baby be crated or have their own room, I can provide that. My pets are used to me watching pets and after the initial introduction, think they are part of the pack. Cats, rabbits, turtles, reptiles and hamster/gerbils are welcome too! I have outdoor cameras at the front of the house and driveway. Unfortunately I do not board pits or pit mixes, due to the age and size of my dogs. Also on a case by case basis, I can be available for larger dogs, would have to have a meet and greet. I took time off from Rover for about a year and a half but I am back and ready to care for your pets.

Schedule
When boarding and we are away, your fur babies can be in the front room or if they are regulars with my fur kids. I am currently working full time but can still board during the week. With my and my spouse’s schedules, your pet will not be alone more than 7 hours at a time. We are homebodies and enjoy being at home. Happy to take care of most types of animals. If you drop off or pick up your pet Monday through Friday in the am, I can accept until 7:15 am. Pickup or drop off in the evening is generally after 5:30 pm, unless a different time is available. I will always confirm drop-offs the day before with a two hour timeframe so that we both on the same page. I can dog walk on weekends and I am home each weekend. Bring whatever makes you pet comfortable, food and toys.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard with a pool. Dogs are never left unattended in back yard. I have a big dog and small dogs and cats, they are all very sweet and older. I also have a separate room to board animals, if requested. For small dogs that insist on sleeping in the bed, we are ok with that too. Dogs will be taken on walks and play in the backyard.
Pets
A typical day
With a large backyard and pool for the breeds that like water, there is plenty of space to run around. I also have a safe neighborhood to take dogs walking. There is a dog park in the area. Happy to play fetch or whatever your baby likes to do.
