Pet care experience

Pets are family!!

My husband and I have had two wonderful dogs in the past. Rudy was a 45 pound beagle/coonhound mix. Bailey, who we lost fairly recently was a 90 pound hound mix. We have had dogs in our family for years and my husband also took care of cats when he was younger. We love animals and we have lots of love to share!

Amazing as always! Not sure if Sly is more excited when we leave so Karen and Matt come see him or when we return from our trip. Truly the best sitters!!

Karen and Matt are so great with Penny and we couldn’t be more grateful to have people who care for her the way we do!

We left “our baby”, a 12 year old Morkie named Tasa for 2 weeks. I expressed a hope to stay in touch, maybe send a photo or two. Oh my, Karen made sure we had our fill of messages and photos. It was so heartwarming, Tasa was on a vacation of her own! We loved to see her so happy and loved. Thank you again Karen and Matt!

Schedule

My husband and I work only part time and our schedules are very flexible. We have lots of time to give to your pets. We love being outdoors and look forward to taking your fur babies on long walks. We also love just hanging out with them and cuddling with them on the couch.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced yard, and your dog would have free reign of most of the house. We live in a very quiet, safe neighborhood and there are plenty of places to walk close by.

A typical day

We love going out on long walks and giving lots of cuddles and attention at home! Our neighborhood is very safe for walking. If you’re ok with it, there are also parks we can drive to.
