Flexible for your pup's schedule!

Pet care experience

I've had dogs in my family from 10lb Heinz 57's to 120lb Shepherds throughout the last 32 years and know exactly how much of a part of a family that they truly are. We currently have two pups of our own (Maggie 7yr old Whippador and Max 5 year old Lab Mix) that I am lucky enough to be home with all day, but from past personal experience I know just how difficult it can be to find good, reliable care for your four legged family members when you have a work schedule or have to travel so that you aren't worried about them while you're away! I love walking (I usually get about 10 miles in a day) so I can get the your pup(s) out and about for a good stretch, and wear them out a bit so they aren't climbing the walls. For the less active ones we can still get needed fresh air but spend more time on ear scratches and belly rubs. Either way I will make certain they receive mental stimulation, affection and socialization until your return. Having the ability for your four legged friend to remain in their own comfortable home environment while still getting the attention they need and deserve in your absence is paramount, not to mention saving you from extra trips dropping off or picking up on busy days! Traveling and just don't want your pup left home alone most of the day? Then I'm happy to board them here! They will have free run throughout the house and in our big fenced in back yard and have access to fresh water inside and out 24 hours a day. I do require a meet and greet prior to their stay to make sure that both they and you are comfortable with my pups and our home. I'm flexible to you and your pups schedule so happy to accommodate most requests. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ***UPDATE*** I apologize but I can no longer accept males that are not neutered as it is causing my poor Maggie stress for those that go into Pepé Le Pew relentless unwanted affection mode. I apologize, but I'm sure you can understand our pups' welfare comes first. _____________________________________________________________________________________________

Irene does an awesome job with my pet family. I have one very active dog and Irene knows exactly how to care for him.

Irene took such great care of our babies. She sent many pictures and kept us informed of how the days went. We would definitely call on her again if needed!

Irene always does an excellent job with my German Shepherd that can be quite particular. She stays on top of communication and always provides some notification if things aren't going exactly per plan which is appreciated. My dog can take a while to warm up to people but seems very at home with Irene.

Irene is so great with our two big pups!! I love knowing they're seeing a friendly face and getting some love when she comes to see them. I appreciate that Irene is also very easy to communicate with when scheduling visits and letting me know all is well at home when she leaves.

Information Irene C. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know what your pup's favorite activities are. Do you love long walks? Would they prefer their own backyard for exercise? Are they just a big cuddle bug? Our two are convinced they will be able to catch squirrels on any given day, and they get a lot of practice in our fenced in yard. When they aren't getting exercise they are more than happy to curl up with me whether I'm reading or watching TV or on the hammock (which can be a challenge to keep us from flipping when they do the sneak attack jump HA!)

A typical day

We can walk in your neighborhood or at a favorite nearby park or other preferred location, you and your pup's preference! Favorite game or activity they enjoy can definitely be promised.
