Compassion and care beyond measure. I always put the pet first. Knowing that I could help make a pet feel at home while their owner is away brings me so much joy. I took care of an elderly sick dog for many years, who recently passed away, so I am very experienced with adult dogs who need medication and a little extra TLC. I'm retired so I have very flexible availability. Ideally, I would like to find ongoing, long-term set schedules but happy to take one-off requests. I'm also very open to extended stays. Our house is very safe and secure for small pets! We have a fenced-in yard with a doggie door and a beautiful quiet neighborhood for walks. If your pet likes trips to the doggie park, we have one 5 minutes away! I'm extremely attentive and loving to all furry friends - the water bowl is never dry, our home is always warm in the winter and safe from the heat in the summer. Pups are always allowed on the couch for cuddles.
