Pet care experience

Energetic, love walking dogs!

People see me everywhere in the Natomas area walking my dog, a brindle colored, mid-sized fellow named Reno. We walk along Garden Hwy, through Discovery Park, along various bike trails and in Old Town Sacramento. I vary the walks, making them short or long, to keep things interesting for any dog I walk. That's why I volunteer at the Front Street Animal Shelter in Sacramento. I have the time because I am a retired call center manager with well developed organizational skills, as well as a deep love of dogs. My husband, also a dog lover who has an office in our home, is nearly always available to assist me with visiting dogs. Together we will take care of your very special family member. We have the boarding experience to handle the different personalities and special needs of dogs. Whether they are small and shy, or outgoing, full of energy, we know how to customize our environment to create a safe, fun and personalized experience for each dog. They have FUN, exercise, rest and love!
