Pet care experience

Newly retired couple: pets welcome!

We lost our dog and cat several years ago and looking for temporary companions in our home. We've been pet owners for 40 years. My husband was an Oral Surgeon and able to provide first aid to minor injuries. We live 300ft from an emergency veterinary clinic and love to go on daily walks. We would love to meet your dog, cat or animal and care for them as our own. We are home daily and one of us is always home if the other runs an errand. We are very flexible on delivery and pick up times and walk dogs daily. We have two fenced areas that are separated by a gate which we keep open if your pet likes to run; or we close it off to keep smaller pets away from the area with wrought iron. We do not have any pets so we can keep full focus on yours! No Pit Bulls, please!

I'm never gone for any long length of time. I also spend a good amount of time outdoors when the weather is good. Their health and happiness are very important to me.

Safety, trust & environment

I would never ignore a dog's care and needs. I am doing this because I love dogs and cats and I enjoy their company and affection.
