Pet care experience

Loving my retirement

I have over 60 years of a pet experience and in my retirement I’m enjoying all your fur babies. I only take one dog at a time unless there’s two in the family.Its a must for me to meet up first to see if I am a fit for your dog. on the day of the sitting, please bring a detailed list of your dogs daily activities food schedule pill schedule so that I can follow it and keep your pet on his regular schedule. I have been on Rover about 8 1/2 years now and really enjoy having your pets in my home. If you have any questions, feel free to text me and after the sitting, I would greatly appreciate it if you would fill out the survey so I can keep my star status.

Dee was absolutely wonderful with my husky Holly. I felt totally confident that she was safe and well cared for. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was in great hands ! I highly recommend Dee !

She was really good to my boy Daxton. While he was anxious the first day, she did a really good job in making both him and myself feel at ease with her care. She frequently sent updates and pictures to reassure proper care was taken and I couldn't be more grateful for her time and help. Dee is a sweet lady and I highly recommend her.

As always, Dee was the perfect sitter while I was away for a weekend. She’s so kind and loves on my dog Libby like she’s her own. I love her regular updates and photos and never worry about my dog (who is 11) when she’s with Dee. Will absolutely book again.

Grandma Dee is the best. Our dog Mango will only stay with her.

Dee was incredible to my pup Libby during a two week stay. She sent so many pics and videos which helped me know she was doing well. Dee treated Libby like her own. I would use Dee again and again and again, I can’t recommend her enough!

Dee was an amazing sitter for Oscar. From the moment I saw her profile, I just had a gut feeling she would be a great fit, and she absolutely was. I live in Georgia and had to drive up to North Chicago for my wife’s graduation at Great Lakes Naval Base, so this was a big trip and the first time leaving Oscar with someone new. Dee had never met Oscar before but was willing to take a chance on him and accept the booking before meeting him, and she was very accommodating with my extremely tentative schedule, which I really appreciated. When I dropped Oscar off, we chatted and laughed as we went over his eating and sleeping habits, and she immediately put my mind at ease. She is welcoming, friendly, kind, and genuinely warm. Throughout the night she sent photos and videos of Oscar—mostly just lounging like he usually does—and it was so reassuring to see how calm and comfortable he was with her. She played with him, cared for him, and treated him like her own. I am very thankful for the care she provided and the peace of mind she gave me on such an important trip. I truly hope we get to book with her again, and my wife and I wish her all the best.

Schedule

I’m retired now and have time to spend with your fur babies.I love dogs but don’t have one anymore because I do travel . I do realize how frightening it can be to leave your dog so I insist on a meeting before the sitting to see if we are a fit and if a long stay is the dogs first stay , I prefer to have the dog for a day visit first to make sure the dog is going to be happy with me . I send pictures and videos throughout the stay so you know your fur baby is enjoying his stay.

Safety, trust & environment

With over 60 years of experience, I have trained many dogs some with some serious command issues. They call me as a dog whisperer because I have a way with dogs and have stopped them from bad habits by taking the time to really talk to them.I do like every client to bring a detailed list of their dogs daily routine so that I can follow that it’s a lot less stressful for the pet if he has some familiar things with him while you’re gone, his beds, favorite toys, Hope to hear from you soon
