Animal loving, retired nurse, 24/7
Pet care experience
Over the past 50 years, I have had Doberman Pinchers more than any other breed, but now have 2 Yorkies, 1 Silky, 1 mixed breed, and a tabby cat that have filled my empty nest. Three of these are rescues. Since retiring from nursing, I have lots of time on my hands to spend doing what I love most which is caring for animals, making quilts, purses, and stuffed animals. I have a large fenced back yard for running and playing. My neighborhood is very dog friendly so walking fur babies is not an issue. My house is large enough that having multiple dogs at once is not a problem. As a rule, I do not use kennels. However, caring for pets that need to limit activity due to medical issues and need to be kenneled are welcomed. I can provide most medical home care procedures, wound care and give medication. I have access to indoor kennels if necessary.. I am home throughout the day so dogs are not left alone for any reason other than an emergencies. I prefer to sit for one family of dogs at a time. Occasionally, overlaps do occur or an emergency could arise when it would be necessary for me to take in an additional pup/s. In any case, every effort will be given to provide your pet with all the attention, love, nutrition, exercise, and care he needs and deserves. ASK ME FOR A DISCOUNT FOR STAYS LONGER THAN ONE WEEK.
Reviews
I am so happy to recommend Lois H. I have 100% confidence in her. We just moved, so my Brynner has had stress and he is older and has some health problems. He was not stressed with Lois and, in fact, had the time of his life! He can't wait to go back!! She gave me frequent reports and sent photos so I could see he was fine. It was very reassuring and took all the worry out of my first trip away from him since moving. I'm very grateful to have found Lois.
Perfect doggie holiday for our 1 yr old German Wirehaired Pointer. Wonderful, loving and FUN atmosphere with lots of friendly, well socialized dressier t sli
Jake has stayed with Lois in the past and he was well taken care of again! She sent pix/videos and great communication on a daily basis!
Lois took exceptionally good care of my little guy while I was on vacation, and I would not hesitate to leave him with her again. She spoiled him rotten, which is what he is used to. She sent me daily reports and photos, when he would let her take them. She took care of him when some vicious insect or spider bit his adorable little ear, took him to my vet, followed their treatment plan, and communicated with Rover about the matter. It still doesn't not make me a bad dog mom for leaving him in the first place, which I only do once a year, but it's the next best thing.
