Experience

Pet care experience

We have taken care of and trained all types of dogs from a pet shop dog that everyone said was our worst mistake and ended up being the healthiest dog we ever had to a Labrador that had an auto-immune and seizure disorder and had to take medication every 12 hours. Currently for the last year and a half we have been fostering a 5 year old American Staffordshire Terrier for a rescue that is dog reactive and was abused. We have experience with almost all situations. Right now because we are fostering a dog reactive dog we can’t have any other dogs in our home, but we will insure your four legged family members are safe and well taken care of in their home environment.

Robert walked our dog several times this past week. Robert treated him very warmly and gave him a good, solid walk. He made sure to check things out with me before the first walk listened carefully. Our dog had an excellent run. I will hire him again in the future.

Michele is excellent! She certainly knows how to care for animals and has great communication. The whole process was smooth, I didn’t have to worry about anything.

Safety, trust & environment

In our home with the dog we are currently fostering, we have him on a harness and a lead line to let him out in our back yard. Because he is dog reactive we walk him everyday in a parking lot across the street from our house. For us safety would be of utmost importance while care for your pets.

Information Michele & Robert R. would like to know about your pet

Thing we would want to know before hand Age, weight, energy level, any precautions that need to be taken, any medications they may need. Their feeding schedule and their usual bathroom routine.

A typical day

Typical day for drop in visits would be in the morning letting your dog outside, and then feed them if you feed them in the morning. We would then spend some time with them either doing something that exercises them to run off energy or just quality pet time depending on their energy levels. . Letting them back outside just in case.
