Pet care experience

I love all kinds of cats and dogs!

I am an animal lover! I love all sorts of animals but must confess that cats and dogs are my favorites. I have had cats and/or dogs nearly all of my life so I feel as if I have the necessary experience to take care of yours. Whenever I pet sit, I love to spoil them by giving them extra attention while their "parents" are away. I would love to get to know your fur babies. I like to have a feeding schedule that explains how much and how often the pets are to be fed. Locations of food/bowls is also appreciated. I will also clean up pet waste, if needed. I look forward to taking care of your fur babies as if they were my own.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a fenced yard so I am unable to board dogs at my home. I prefer to watch dogs in their own homes where I feel that they are most comfortable.

Karen was absolutely amazing. She was very communicative, flexible and reliable. She was timely and spent quality time with the dogs.She sent pics of the dogs, which is very hard to get them to stay still for.

It is helpful to know if your dog has any special needs or habits. I like to keep the daily routine as close as possible so the dog does not become stressed.
