Safe, loving home away from home

Pet care experience

I am a work from home, responsible adult, with a loving and safe home. We have a secure fenced yard, no children or other pets in the home. I have been caring for my own pets since I was a child and with the passing of my last two dogs, I have opened my home to caring for others pets. I have much experience caring for a wide range of dogs, from puppies to elderly special needs dogs and cats too. I treat your fur babies as though they are my own!

Melinda is so wonderful! She is responsive and easy to work with. Maple loves going to her house. It makes it very easy for me to feel good about leaving my pet while I am away.
