Pet care experience

Retired mother that love animals

I’m a retired woman that has 30 years of pet care experience. I have raised two dogs and one cat. I have experience with chow chows, cats, and a west highland terrier. Since I am older now, I prefer smaller dogs that I can control while out on walks. My dog passed away 7 years ago and I miss having an animal around to take care of.

We had a great experience! Odie was well cared for during his two-day stay. We received regular updates and pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Odie looked happy and comfortable. We would definitely book again!

Masako was great with our 13 year old Maltese Shih Tzu. He isn’t used to staying with people other than family and she did a great job caring for him and communicating with us.

Masako is my mother and has cared for our pets my whole life. Growing up, we had a male chow chow dog and a male cat for roughly 15 years. Later on, she had a west highland terrier for about 14 years and took great care of her.

Safety, trust & environment

For boarding, I offer care in my suburban home. I live in a nice neighborhood with many trails and parks nearby. There is enough room in the house for dogs to move around and run if they need.

A typical day

Fun activities that I do with dogs include brushing, playing, and going out for fun walks to the park. There are some nature trails close to my house.

Since I am elderly, please let me know if your dog gets aggressive or very energetic while playing or out on walks. I don’t think it is a good idea for me to take care of dogs that might over-power me.
