Pet care experience

Miss my dog, want to meet yours

A wonderful dog was my pal for almost 14 years. That's him as a pup in the picture, my hair is gray now, just wanted to include him. I miss him but travel a bunch so it's not a good time for me to get another one. I have enjoyed helping friends and neighbors with their dogs so thought I'd expand out. I also remember how difficult it was to find good care, especially over holidays, for my dog so thought I'd make myself available.

Thank you, Mary, for your exceptional care of Dash during these hot summer days. He really appreciates the early morning walks! You are a gem.

MARY was great. She was responsive. She was responsible. She was kind and thoughtful. She left my dog and my house in great shape. I would not hesitate to ask her back.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

As a retired person, my schedule is very flexible so would just need to coordinate what your pets need. If staying with your pets in your home, they need to be okay by themselves for at least 4 hours (so I can go hiking!). Even better if they like to hike.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

Before caring for your pets, we'll need to do a meet'n'greet so you can tell me about their regular routines and see if they're reasonable for me to keep up.

A typical day

This all depends on what their regular routine is. I like to hike so that's a possibility. Playing, training, walking. I appreciate a thorough description of what they're used to.

As mentioned a couple times, I appreciate a thorough description of what they're used to. Also their food plans, timing of meals, any meds or supplements, treats.
