i’m semi-retired and have lots of time, and a deep love of ALL the animals but dogs in particular. I want to work part time, and helping others with their pets seems like a great way to do it..

A typical day

In particular I enjoy off-leash walks and hikes. I know all of the spots to do this as my previous dog wasn’t dog friendly, so we had to find locations all over the valley where there wouldn’t be any surprises. I am an avid treat-giver and belly-rubber and like doting on all animals, especially seniors.

David - thank you for taking care of Taggert. I really hate being away from my dog. The way you observed my dog and me and instinctively knew how to put us at ease is so much appreciated. From the photos, I could tell he was well cared for and having a good time. Just what I needed during the ski race. I'd write a longer review, but Taggert wants me to hustle over to the grocery and get him, "the good cookies", that you gave him! Thanks again - Senja & Taggert

Another great visit for Zeus with David C. When Zeus figured out where he was getting dropped off his whole body began to wag.
