Pet care experience

Love to walk, cuddle, and pamper

I've had animals all my life. As of last year, we are now pet-free and I'm really missing their company. I would be honored to love on your pet while you can't be there. I will take them on daily walks and follow your instructions to a T. I will reinforce any training you've done, and maybe teach a new trick or two!

Maellen did a wonderful job watching our Lab while we were out of town. She installed complete conference with us and updated us with photos and messages while we were gone. She made our Lab feel at home and was well taken care of. She is great with taking care of your pets and we would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced yard, a large, medium, and small crate, plus a nice doghouse outside with dog beds in it. We really prefer crate-trained dogs for boarding.

A typical day

A typical day would include fun games in the back yard, a walk or two in the neighborhood to explore all the sights and sounds, and some cuddle time. If you allow it, they will have a treat- time, while practicing their manners and tricks.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or issues I need to know about. My grandchildren (nine and under) come over to my house frequently, so the dogs I watch NEED TO BE CHILD-FRIENDLY as well as they need to GET ALONG WITH OTHER DOGS, and preferably CRATE TRAINED. I only take two at the most (with the occasional overlap with more), so your pup will definitely get special and individual attention. They become a part of our family for the time they are with us!
