I LIKE BIG MUTTS, I CANNOT LIE!

Pet care experience

I am a dog lover, but I care for cats as well. I have owned giant breeds for 30 years.. I am retired, flexible and experienced with all age pets. I have a safe home environment with a fenced dog run located at the foot of the Porcupine Mountain Wilderness Area, above the south shore of Lake Superior. Im available to house sit , board overnight, day care, walks or check ins. Conveniently located near your campground, rental or motel. I am available to hike with or walk your dog while you explore the area. Got a water dog? I'll take them to the beach for a swim. If you just want a check in or mid day belly rubs, I'm available for that too! I love my pets, I will love yours too!

This is Abbie’s third stay with Gladdie, and we are so pleased…. Many walks, many pics/videos, and much love! Thanks again, Gladdie!

I would give her 5+++! This was our golden doodle’s first time with her. Many pics and updates from Gladdie-helped us get ok and relax while away. She is a godsend! Many walks and nature watching. Home is very dog friendly. When we picked up our dog, she was calm and happy. For an extremely anxious dog… this is quite a feat. :) I’ve already reserved a second stay. Thank you, Gladdie!
