Information Mckayla A. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if they are aggressive, have special needs or have ever bitten anyone. We like to know how they like to sleep (crate or not).

A typical day

Walks around the neighborhood, fetch with balls, belly rubs. Lots of snuggles, hanging out with the kids after school and on the weekends. Our kids love to brush dogs and take on walks.

Pets

Loving family to love your pet!

Pet care experience

We are a family in need of pets to love on. We love dogs and cats and have had pets our whole lives. We have 2 outdoor cats currently, but they generally keep to themselves. Our most recent dog, Waldo, is no longer with us and we would be happy to love on another’s pet! We are comfortable giving meds (oral) to pets. We have a large yard and live at the end of a cul-de-sac that does not have any through traffic. We also have installed automatic-closing doors to all our outside doors to ensure safety and little chance of a beloved pet escaping. We are flexible on animal type, breed and type as long as the pet is kid-friendly. We have children under 10 that have tons of energy and laps to snuggle. We look forward to helping with your pet soon! Two adults who work from home with flexible schedules. Kids will be at school during the day and on the weekends we are home to love on your pets and walk your dogs whenever needed. We don’t require crates and do allow pets to sleep with whoever they choose. We can accommodate most needs for your pet, including frequent walks and potty breaks.
