Information Nancy T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behavior characteristics that I should know about. Such as any allergic reactions or medications?

A typical day

I believe in the importance of keeping your dog(s) both physically and mentally sharp. There are interactive games that I enjoy introducing that will stimulate their minds and allow even older dogs to learn new tricks. We will play a bunch of games, check out all the smells in my neighborhood and explore some nice parks along the way. I personally enjoy what I call the "BIG 3 W'S. WATER, WIND & WHEELS which always opens up doors to new adventures and fun times.

Pet care experience

I am an avid dog lover and truly a lover of all animals. I have been a proud owner of many different dogs in my lifetime and I am dedicated to caring for dogs that are in need. Since my early youth I have always been the "go to" person to tend to family pets and those of neighbors and friends, along side my own. I have been fortunate to have learned from those experiences and I pride myself on sharing all that knowledge with every pet in need or not. One of my dogs "Woody" a 75 pound mixed breed that I could not imagine being without, actually attended University with me and everyone on campus adored him. Dogs need to feel safe and cared for and in return they offer the same comforts to people. I know what it means to truly care for animals and I believe they are as drawn to me as I am to them. I have worked for the Humane Society as well as several Veterinarians' offices throughout my many years of pet care. In my youth, when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I always imagined myself as a Vet. Although I never achieved that goal, the years I spent learning from others has not gone to waste. I am quick on my feet to respond to any issue(s) that needs my immediate attention and I personally believe that when caring and giving love and attention to pets I am not only providing a service but in return I am rewarded beyond any financial gain. I am extremely trust worthy and know that our furry friends are family too and deserve to be cared for, loved, have a safe place to call their home away from home whenever in need and above all will be treated by someone who appreciates their uniqueness. No expectation is to much for me to accommodate as needed. I will gladly go above and beyond to ensure that the pet(s) that I care for and their owners are MORE than satisfied. Guaranteed! I am currently not working away from my home and so my schedule can easily become your schedule as needed. Full boarding available for scheduling 7 days a week including holidays. FOR FIRST TIME ROVER USERS, USE PROMO CODE: WORLDP38657 FOR AN ADDITIONAL SAVINGS. I have a spacious home for boarding which is away from the street level with an extensive backyard as well as open space with several nearby parks for walks and playtime. I live in a popular dog walking area that is also very safe. My home offers easy access for any bathing and or grooming needs, no matter how big or small your pet may be. I can also crate your pet(s) upon request. Visits, pickups and drop offs are also available, safe and secure. I am currently working part time from home which makes me available around the clock. I enjoy walking and driving which opens the door to new parks and walking experiences throughout the Marin County area and beyond. I enjoy the 3 big 'W's. Wind, Wheels, and Water. I find that most animals also enjoy at least 1 if not all 3 so finding something to do or somewhere to go is an easy reach. If your pet(s) prefer to spend their time at home, with little to no real change in routine, that is fine too. I have a fenced yard which is secure and safe for small dogs as well as large dogs. Behind my home is open space which provides the option of enjoying a walk or playtime without having to be around other people or dogs.

Nancy has always done a fantastic job with Sequoia!! She has been so accommodating with caring for Sequoia as her only dog since she doesn't get along well with other dogs. She has also been very flexible and accommodating in pick-ups and drop-offs.

Nancy is a true Dog Whisperer. I was in town attending a "celebration of life" and had to travel with my dog, Lolita. I needed someone to watch her while attending the event. My sweet girl can't be left with just anyone, as she is a rescue who has much separation anxiety. We met Nancy for a "meet & greet" and I instantly felt that she understood the needs of my dog. I dropped Lolita off w/Nancy and she did great! She settled in nicely. Nancy updated me while I was away. If I lived in Marin Nancy would be our regular "Auntie" when Lolita needs care.

Rowan was recovering from a surgery and we had to be out of town. Nancy administered his medications and supervised his activity while we were away- even though his foot was in a bandage! It was a huge help for an unexpected issue. Thanks for the great care
