Your Pets Are Loved As Our Own

I have owned and been around animals my whole life. That includes dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats, and an assortment of small caged animals. I love being around animals and am a very loving pet mom to my own. I work from home so am around most of the time. Also, my husband is retired and home and we have 2 elderly parents at home so there is almost always someone around to love and care for your pet. In addition, there are no children living in our home so no worries about that interaction. We will take your fur baby for leashed walks frequently during the day and feed them according to the feeding schedule you wish. We are willing to take your unhouse-broken puppy and will take it out frequently, but it will need to be in a pen. Nevertheless, I can assure you, it will receive lots of love and attention. We would love to welcome your fur baby into our home and you can rest assured that it will be in very capable, loving hands. Because I work for myself and from home, I can take frequent breaks to tend to your pet. My husband also is always available to walk them, or feed them or do whatever is needing to be done. We will take your dog for frequent leashed walks around our large property. They will be fed twice a day unless you have a different feeding schedule you want us to follow. We have two very friendly male dogs of our own that will keep your fur baby company. Dog toys are typically scattered around the house because our fur baby doesn't like them put away.

Karen and Delbert were an absolute blessing to find! They took very good care of Milo, and Milo loved them both! I received pictures and updates daily. I would most definitely recommend them both! We plan to use them again during our next trip!

Karen and Del were amazing pet sitters for my super shy pup 🐾💕! They were so gentle and patient, and the photos they sent of him looking relaxed and happy really put my mind at ease. Five stars isn't enough - they deserve ten! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pets

A typical day

I want your dog's experience to be fun. I know they can experience anxiety being away from their pet parents so we focus on alot of play time and walks so they quickly feel comfortable being with us. Dog toys are typically strewn all around our house, so there is plenty to play with.
