Golden Getaway (a senior sanctuary)

Pet care experience

We are an animal-loving family with a large backyard.My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and since we've been married, we have always had at least one golden retriever in the house -- usually 2 (and often other dogs too, including foster dogs and dogs "vacationing" with us). Our resident goldens are Charlie and Kira. Because our dogs are older, we are currently ONLY WATCHING OTHER SENIOR DOGS. Dogs in our care will have access to unlimited time in our spacious, shaded yard; cozy naps in our sunroom; daily walks through the neighborhood; and snuggle time in front of the TV in the evenings. I will happily send daily updates via email or text. We are happy to watch other pets, as well. We have experience with guinea pigs, hedgehogs, chickens (we'll go to your house to care for yours), hamsters, aquatic turtles and fish.

Nuala spent almost two weeks with Jen and received excellent care. When you have a senior dog who needs a little extra patience and love, it's great to find someone willing and able to provide that, and Jen does. She sent us regular updates and photos, and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Nuala was in good hands. Thanks, Jen!
