Dog Lovers

Pet care experience

I have had pets all my life, particularly dogs and I love animals. My husband and I lost our 14 year old dog Coco in 2022 since she was very sick. We would love to have some other small dogs in the house once in a while. we would also love to take care of dogs that we have previousl cared for in our home. I would love to care for medium size dogs as well as long as they weigh 15 pounds or less. I am a petite person so It is harder for me to walk larger dogs.

Laurie and Rich always take great care of Louie! He has health issues and can be fussy with food and medicine but Laurie and Rich are patient and caring and I’m never worried about leaving him with them. They also send several photos throughout the day and give regular updates.

Cherry had a great time at Laurie and Richard's home. They were so sweet with her and sent tons of pics and photos. Can't wait to use again.
