Information Maria F. would like to know about your pet

I need to know the schedule, the rules, and any special care to be able to make sure we can meet your pets’ needs. I would also like to have veterinary information.

A typical day

I can give your furry friend whatever attention they need. Dogs: We can take short strolls around the yard for the old or lazy or long walks for the young a lively. If you’ve got a pup who’s favorite game is fetch or chase, we’re always up for some good ol’ fun. If they want to sit and keep me company, that works, too. Whatever your pup needs, I can provide! Cats: It all depends on their personality, but the litter box is always clean 🤓

Loving Care for Loving Pets

Pet care experience

Have a puppy? I’m well-versed in puppy pee pads and the fun game of find the poop. Have an older dog? A slow meander or a quick circle around the yard and sit on the front porch are just as enjoyable as a fast paced walk. How about a bully breed? I’m used to the house hippo slamming into you when you enter the door. We have one of our own. Ever had your knees taken out from under you because a chimpmunk ran by? I have. Ever wrestle a house hippo afraid of water into a tub? Yup. That’s me. Bad listener? We’ve got one of those. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members. …and, yes, I always pick up the poo 🤓
