Safety, trust & environment

I have a one level home so no stairs for senior dogs. I have 2 ramps, one for getting in the chair and one for going from back door into yard in case senior dogs need them. I have a large crate that can be easily moved around to keep your dog comfortable. I also have central AC so even on hot days your fur baby will be cool as can be. I have experience taking care of senior dogs and others that require extra attention. I have given medications and dealt with special dietary needs. I have also dealt with my own special needs dog that was required to wear a leg brace for the last 12 years of her life while being active.

Information Nickey R. would like to know about your pet

If there are any special considerations your fur baby needs. If they have any allergies, medications, medical conditions. If they have behavioral issues that way, I can make the proper allowances for your dog to be comfortable, happy and less anxious. I would also like to know the normal schedules you and your fur baby have, that way I can replicate it to the best of my ability.

A typical day

I have an excellent fenced backyard for your dog to run and play. I have lots of dog puzzles and an endless amount of time to play fetch and tug of war.

Pet care experience

I've cared for and spoiled my dogs rotten since I was 19 years old. I've always been a friend or family member that volunteers to take care of their dogs when they are on vacation or just need company for the day. I treat each dog as if they were my own and give them all the love and attention they deserve. Being active with the dogs makes the transition of their anxiety level ease as I step in for the parent for however long a time you need, whether it's for a day, a week, or a bit longer.
