Warm Heart and Home

I started taking care of our neighbors dogs when I was about 10. My first job at 16 was the Sunday and Holiday kennel keeper where I cleaned and fed all the animals at our vet. At 17 I started volunteering at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History's wildlife and education rehabilitation program. I have had a host of dogs, cats, and misc shelf pets. Currently I have two Labradors and a cat. My son's Corgi stays with us most days of the week. Oh and a husband too. I will be retiring from a full time job at the end of June. My husband and I are looking forward to caring for your dog or cat. If your dog is crate traded and is able to be home during the work day without a potty break, then weekday stays are possible too. We have a large fenced in backyard with tons of fun running space. We have a basement family room. Our dogs sleep in our bedroom on their own beds. The cats have their own space in the basement off the family room.

I have known Judy for over 30 years and I highly recommend her as a dog sitter. She loves all animals, especially dogs and cats and would take great care of your pet. She has always had dogs and cats in her life and is very familiar with their care. She is extremely responsible and I have had her take care of my cats when I am away. I felt totally comfortable that they were being cared for while I was away.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a big fenced yard with lots of area to run and play. My two dogs love to fetch, wrestle and play chase. Tilly is very vocal when playing but it is all show. The dogs are allowed on the couch but sleep on dog beds in our bedroom. The cats are in a closed room at night and have a gate with a cat door allowing them access away from the dogs.

Pets

A typical day

Besides our fenced in backyard, we visit the the local and metroparks. Our dogs have a tub of toys in the backyard and love to play tug, fetch and chase. There is also a basket of toys in the family area for all to play with.
