Information Lucinda W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has special needs or preferences for care. I am willing and able to take care of all breeds. My senior Border Collie mix recently passed. My grand puppies consist of Great Dane mix, Corgi, Border Collie, Boston Terrier/French Bulldog, Scottie, and chihuahua. I love all their unique, special personalities.

A typical day

We will play in my large , fenced back yard and take walks around my neighborhood. After we will relax and bond in the comfort of my home.

Cindy was great! She checked in and sent pictures almost every day and found a better way to give my picky dog his pills!

A few days before our booking Jada ended up at the vet and came home with some meds. I contacted Lucinda and she said No Problem, she'd make sure Jada got them. We had no worries on our vacation and Jada came home happy.
