I shared my entire life with pets. And even though I live with dogs only, I am also a very big cat-lover! From small mix breeds to big size pure breed dogs. Morning walks, dog park visits, playing in the back yard and cuddling on the couch. Dogs are always family and fulfilling their needs are highest priority. I have privately dog sat anything from Chinese Crested to Australian Shepard, big poodles to puppy Huskies. It is a heartwarming experience every time. Dedication and "speaking dog" are my key to every dog and they feel it. It is a natural connection for me. If an overnight stay, a walk or drop in, dogs enjoy my company and the best proof is coming to the crow creek dog park and see for yourself that the dogs I cared for always come and greet me to the fullest. I also have been around and with cats my whole life - from farm cats to house cats, starting when they were babies up to senior cats that needed a loving home. Every now and then I get to visit some friends who have cats and whenever they go on vacation I am the Go-To person to drop in daily and make sure their beloved felines are doing good, get food, playtime and special love and attention. Boarding: Please note that I am only boarding male/female dogs up to 1 year, over a year-old dogs will only be female dogs that I can board due to the nature of the pack mentality and dynamic, or dogs that I have boarded ever since they were a puppy. All dogs have free roam of the house and are allowed on the furniture and bed. I DO NOT KENNEL! Dogs that are usually restricted to a kennel and not allowed on the furniture in their home will enjoy the stay with me like visiting grandma’s house. It is a vacation for your dog  But no worries….. your puppy knows that I possibly have different rules and will behave normal and to your standards when they come back home. Drop-In visits/Dog walks: Please expect a loving and caring visit (which usually includes a walk, even if you only booked a drop-in visit), that covers not just your pet’s needs but also your own, such as in taking packages inside, bring the mail in the house and moving your trash can back to the house as needed – at no extra charge. Meet and Greet: It is important to me to meet your fur baby before booking or committing to anything and I do not charge for it. Having a good chemistry with your pet is essential, just as you want to know who is taking care of your beloved pet. I will not book a walk, visit or boarding if I have not met you and your pet beforehand.
