I've had pets since age 5. Love them all and consider them family. My hubby and I are retired and I am ready to help with your fur babies. They'll be part of my extended family. I have 2 senior dogs so i know about all the trials and tribulations of an aging pet. I have had several pets throughout the years with medical issues that require meds so i am very familiar with administering medications. Your pets will be safe with me, i will protect and care for them as if they were my own. We are retired and permanent residents of la Quinta. We are in town 90% of the year, and we have 2 very friendly Havanese dogs of our own so visitors are always welcome. We walk several times a day and if it’s very hot, we have a beautiful shaded (with 8 umbrellas) courtyard that provides lots of shade for potty breaks and sniffing flowers. We have lots of grassy spots for dog walks. We live on a golf course so no shortage of walking areas. When it's too hot we have a shaded, fenced courtyard for exercise and potty breaks. I will follow your pets schedule according to instructions, i know that every pet has their routine and it’s important to stick with that routine.
