Pet care experience

Retired & Ready to Love Your Pet

I grew up with dogs and adopted my first after leaving home, and within 2 years adopted my second. Since the first two I have chosen to adopt senior dogs and spoil them for however many years I have with them. My current is a Pomeranian named Lucy who is @ 16 years old. She has developed adult onset Diabetes and she requires 2 injections of Ventsulin daily.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in backyard and because of Lucy’s advanced age I had a ramp built for her to access the yard from the deck. I have cared for cats (some kept in at all times and others allowed to go outside) and dogs who require at least 2 walks a day.

Michael has been watching my cat, and or my dog for several years. I trust him completely with my pets, and property while I am away. There is nobody more sincere, and loving. He follows instructions, is prompt, and most always available. This is a 5 star recommendation.

In my opinion this is the most important topic that I’ve been asked to discuss with potential clients. I will listen clearly to the needs of your pet because I know from personal experience how important a special-needs pet can. Someone coming into my home would need to be able to inject my dog with her life saving Ventsulin for example.
