Pet care experience

We accept last minute bookings and have never canceled a booking. Once you board with us you are locked in so there is no worries about having to change your plans! There is not a time in my life that I can remember where I did not have a pet to spend it with or share it with. And now that I am retired I can dedicate even more time to this enjoyment. I have had all types of dogs, cats and genue pigs in my lifetime, both large and small, and love them all the same. I have two birds as well and look forward to waking up to their chirping every morning. I currently own two dogs. One is a Shih-Tzu mix I have had since she was just a puppy. The other I volunteered to take home rather than see him get sent to the pound by his owner for simple lease restrictions. Along with our two cats, our pet guests will never have a shortage of playmates! My husband passed away November 1, 2021 and I am retired. My son, Justin, is currently living with me so they will have plenty of tender loving care between the two of us. We have two dogs of our own so they will always have playmates. We also have different size crates to kennel up when needed or if the client request. I accept bookings seven days a week and very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I strive to make the drop off and pick up a non issue. I have a safe fenced yard and either my son or myself always go out with the dogs or watch them on our yard camera.

Donna was amazing I was a little nervous to leave my babies cause we didn’t have a great experience with a different sitter but she made my babies comfortable and sent many pictures and kept me updated 😊
