Pet care experience

Safe, loving care- fenced backyard!

I have taken care of dogs for over 50 years. I am a retired RN and have taken care of both people and animals for most of my life. I enjoy dog walking as much as my dog likes to walk. I love to play with dogs and give them love and attention. I have experience with administering dog medication as well training young dogs. I have worked with border collies, Australian cattle dogs, and chihuahuas primarily. I look forward to giving your dog a happy staycation.

They were! Daisy was being a picky eater, and she actually sat down and fed her by hand. Daisy was happy and healthy when we picked her up..

Kathleen and Steven provided excellent care of my 17yo Bosco while I was away. She is always so kind and gentle with him and a great communicator in letting me know how he is doing. I always feel he is safe and well taken care of. Highly recommend and would definitely use again in the future.
