Pet care experience

Home full-time Love to spoil

I fostered 21 dogs for Pick of the Litter Rescue and Adoption in Longview, TX. I spent every Saturday at adoption fairs at Petco and found homes for all but one dog, which I kept After I retired, I began sitting for the pets of my friends. I love dogs and I spoil them as if they were my own but if your requirements are more strict I will adhere to them. My wish is for my clients to never worry that their dog will be anything but happy, safe and well cared for. I have experience with disabled dogs. I'm retired so I need dogs to make me exercise and to have someone to talk to and love on. We are good for each other. I have a fenced yard and I always go outside with them. Baby gates are used to separate them at meal time or if naughty.

Doggy Day Care • mai 26, 2026

She’s sweet and flexible with time. Togo really enjoyed his time with her as well. I wouldn’t highly recommend her for high energy dogs, as she has a hard time walking them. Overall, she’s great and has a big heart.

Lucy was absolutely wonderful with Alfie! She was incredibly accommodating, and the regular photo updates truly made a difference, gave me so much peace of mind. The Easter photos she took were such an adorable touch. I will bring Alfie back again!

I want to know their medical history such as allergies and eating problems. Are they house trained, please be honest so I can be prepared. Do they stop eating for a day or so when their owner leaves? Are there any medications to be administered? Are they crate trained? Are they afraid of thunder and rain.
