We love animals!

Pet care experience

We love animals and want to make it a memorable experience for your pet. As a family, for over 3 years, we have cared for pets at our home for our friends who travel. This has been been anywhere from just a weekend to longer stays. Our care included pet walks 4 times/day, feeding, cleaning and play time. All four of us in the family besides being animal lovers enjoy going out for walks and playing outdoors; ensuring your pet gets plenty of time outdoors. You can also rest assured that your pet is in safe, loving and caring hands as we will do our very best to take care of your pet. To give you an example, our daughter Alicia (when she was 10) saw an injured bird trapped inside a clothing store and would not leave till she had her mom safely get the bird in a shoe box (from the store), head to Petsmart to buy a cage and some food, then have mom drive to the nearest wild life care center (15 miles away) to get the bird cared for its injured foot before being released in to the wild. This is how we feel and care for animals both in the wild and for those entrusted to us. We are a loving home and welcome sharing that experience to your pet.

Simply the best! We could not feel more comfortable with Jijo & Smitha. They are so kind and compassionate. We received so many wonderful pictures & videos throughout her stay. We cannot recommend enough.
