Stress-free when left w/me 💜

Pet care experience

I have had many special bonds with many kinds of animals & I’ve always given them the love & kindness ALL animals deserve. I love training puppies to become the best doggie they can be! When my Jude was a puppy, I used “tricks-for-treats” method using hand signals & now that Jude lost her hearing she knows her commands only by my hand signals! I have taken care of a handful of elderly dogs and cats whom I know felt very safe and loved my company so much. Whenever I’m with any animal I always feel like I’m making an impact in their life and I shine my light on their beautiful hearts every time. They are my world 🌎 ❤️❤️❤️ Currently, I am open available anytime, day or night, rain or shine! Even last minute I will be available. My doggie approved house is filled with dog beds of all sizes, and dog crates if that’s what they like, & hardwood floor for cooling off. My yard is fenced in and surrounded by a forest of trees. Plenty of play toys and green grass for sunbaths! This is my passion…… I eat, sleep, & take care for animals. I’m very grateful for any furry friend to come into my life. Even if it’s just for a day ❤️ When I’m not busy with pets, I am the voice for the voiceless...I am a very active animal rights activist, I am a member of the Dominion action movement, I am very very passionate about all animals. My dream is to have my own animal sanctuary where every animal will love their life free just as our pets do. I will also find homes for homeless/abused/abandoned animals. My house is dog approved. I have a lot of toys and doggy beds & In my breezeway I have a dog ramp for elderly or injured dogs to use to get into my house.

Mandy was so accommodating and great with my high energy great dane pup. He is a big guy and high energy. She was really active— playing soccer, nightly walks, etc. Mandy truly loves animals and it shows through her care.

Cooper had a great time at Mandy’s and I appreciate how flexible she was given we had to move some dates around.

Mandy did a wonderful job with our puppy. She sent us photos and texts every day to tell us how things were going. Would highly recommend her and would book again!

A typical day

I enjoy having a routine in my house. A nice morning walk is a must! When we get home we have a treat & water break and go play in the yard for a while after that the dogs lay around or nap. I know dogs love it over here.. we always have so much fun and I give them lots and lots of attention & affection xoxox
