When help is needed and you have to be away from your pet family, I can provide your fur family with love, attention, and the safe home routine they are used to enjoying. I have a special compassion for animals, and my wife, Julie, and I have had several pets through the years, training them as pups and kittens, and caring for them later as elderly pets. For your pets, I will provide fresh water, food as required, play time, and some quiet petting and conversation time. My pets always love being talked to and getting special treats. I will make sure they feel loved even by a new friend. My wife and I retired and worked through Rover in the Joplin, Missouri area. In 2025, we decided to move near our son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughters in Tulsa. No longer homeowners, but townhouse renters, we are unable to board dogs anymore. My intention now is to provide an occasional house sitting or pet visiting service for others. For many years prior to retirement, we struggled with decisions for pet care if we wanted a vacation. We understand that pets are family, and it is one of the biggest challenges to travel plans. Attention is what your pet will get when I house sit or make visits. When you book me, it is not to have your dog crated all day or put in a room. I am actively available to your fur family. I can take your baby for a walk if you would like. I will follow your directions and do my best to make them feel they are getting as much of their comforting routine as possible. I am the primary pet sitter you will have when you book me. I include photos of my wife, as well, because occasionally she will pop in to give some added pets and kisses to the dogs or she may fill in for me for a few hours if I have another appointment. She will usually be home taking care of our Liza and our cats.
