Pet care experience

Mom/Daughters Duo Service Providers

I have owned and cared for pets for 40 years and my daughter Harlow, 13 and Tinley, 11 have cared for their own pets as well as family and friend’s pets for the past 4 years. Harlow and Tinley are working to earn money to start her own Boba Tea drink business and as their parents, we want to encourage and support their motivation and work ethic to achieve their goals. Either my husband or I will always be present with them to provide rides, transport pets, oversee their work and provide any help needed. We work from home and and can offer the most flexibility as well as attentive care to your pets. We recently adopted a senior dog from the Humane Society who lost her elderly owners to health issues that required them to move into long term care facilities. She is a very sweet, calm, and docile girl who loves to sleep and we have loved welcoming her into our family!

Harlow, Tinley, and the whole Appel family took great care of Ruthie! Ruthie is slow to warm up to people, but she seems to be excited to see the Appels whenever they come for a walk or for a overnight stay. It is great to know she is well taken care of when I am out of town.

Heather and family did a great job taking care of our dog. They stayed longer than required and added two extra stops to give our girl an extra bathroom break at night. Will use again almost immediately.

Two of my dogs spent doggy day care with Heather’s responsible and caring daughters. I was impressed and would recommend them to anyone who wants a safe place for their dogs. Thank you

Harlow, Tinley, and Heather were excellent caregivers for our 2 cats while we were out of town for a week! They were excellent communicators, followed all of our (very detailed!) instructions, and went *totally* above and beyond with the love and comfort for our cats. We trusted are cats were content with friends not just being visited by strangers. 🤩

Our dog, Mila, had such a good stay with Heather and her family! Her daughters are wonderful and her husband even took Mila for a run. Since this was her first time staying with them, I was a little nervous but they sent me lots of updates with pictures and videos. Mila obviously had a wonderful time! Thank you.
