Pet care experience

Let me spoil your fur babies!

I love spending time with animals, as it’s my true happy place. I’m a retired elementary principal who wants to just spoil your babies, garden, read and travel. I have been an animal rescuer and fostered over 50 dogs. This will be my third year on Rover.

Samson enjoyed his stay even if he tried to break out of the crate! Lael handled our needy boy!

Took great care of Oakley ! We felt comfortable leaving her with them. She seemed to have fun! We don’t trust many people but with them we did. They have 2 other dogs who seemed to like our dog ! Thank you guys appreciate it.
