4 Legged friends are the best!!
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs and have had dogs most of my life. I worked for several years with a boxer rescue group. Dogs truly are the best friend anyone can have. I enjoy all breeds and sizes. At this time, I am no longer offering boarding services, just in-home services due to work. I am able to give medicine if needed at no extra charge. I will reply to your request within 2 hours if possible. Thank you for reading my profile and I hope to meet you and your special 4 legged friend(s) soon! I work in Salinas, CA for a non-profit and travel to my home 3.5 hours away on weekends and therefore, not available most Saturdays and Sundays and unable to provide boarding.

So glad I booked with Pam! She is friendly, responsive and loved my pup as much as I do. I will definitely be booking with her again ?
Thank heaven we found Pam! After a very bad pet sitting experience, I was leery about leaving our pups for a long trip overseas (our dogs are our babies) but fortunately through Rover I found Pam. As soon as she came to the meet and greet it was clear out dogs enjoyed being with her. She was also very patient and understanding with our senior dog Watson, who can be nippy and cranky! Every day Pam sent us photos and updates she even gave them special fuzzy doggie beds when it was unusually cold during our trip! Having Pam with our boys was the best decision we ever made. She was just perfect and took a lot of the worry out of our trip to Africa!
Pam is the best! We had her stay overnight with our animals while we were out of town. She made sure that Cali & Chloe were well taken care of and properly exercised. She even noticed that Cali needed some more mental stimulation and got her a couple chew toys! Everyday she sent me pictures of our fur babies and gave me a small update. It made me feel better about leaving our fur babies alone. Pam also took care of my small flower garden and other small home things. She is great and we will definitely be using her services again!
I have to first say, I'm HIGHLY IMPRESSED by Pam. I'm a bit of a helicopter protective Dog Mom. When I first reached out, she was quick to respond and willingly to take in 2 large dogs with my hectic always changing schedule. She was able to adapt to me adding and removing days until I was set on exact dates. Even after dates have been made she was willingly to add on more days last minute as needed. She was helpful and flexible with meeting times and directions. Very caressing and relaxed almost like a mother like tone, where you don't have to worry. When I got there for the initial meet, I was pretty nervous being as my dogs either travel with me or stay with family (but I just moved from Florida to California and didn't have family here). My 2 dogs are great but can also become homesick and protective, especially one of them who tends to not like men and can get hostile at the door and the other very needy for attention. With this in mind I was a bit worried it wouldn't work out. But to my surprise they did wonderful! They Instantly loved her front yard, made themselves right at home sniffing and wandering her whole house and loved the backyard as well As her couch . They were drawn for attention to Pam and her wonderful roommate who also gave lots of attention to them both.. After the initial meet, I booked my days and still a bit nervous leaving them I went to drop them off a couple hours early to get rest before my early flight. She accomadated to them very quickly and was 100% nurturing to them. She gave them endless amount of love, attention, Treats and toys. She sent me a ton of pictures and updates on them multiple times a day and didn't get annoyed when I called literally 5 minutes after I left. Getting to the best points; When I texted thinking they may have been missing me or acting out, she sent pictures of them sleeping on her bed with her all snuggled up, super relaxed and happy. I couldn't have been more thrilled they were relaxed and were not missing me. She even walked them daily and went on car rides to the park with them (mind you my dogs chase cats and can be grouchy at times) . She none the less handled them very well. When I went to pick them up, they looked well fed, very happy, no medical issues or marks or anything to my concern. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Pam for anyone and everyone. I will use her again for all my future trips. Thank you so much Pam, you honestly made traveling so much less stressful And it was worth every penny.

I love hanging out with animals, so your pet will be my best friend while I care for them. If they sleep on your bed, they are welcome to sleep on my bed. I feed and care for them on your scheduled times (except when I'm working). They definitely will be loved and well cared for!
Home
Information Pam P. would like to know about your pet
Love the larger breeds but do well with all sizes. Any allergies or medical conditions? Emergency contact is always a must. Do they get along with other animals if we are out on a walk?
A typical day
When I'm watching your loved one, I will try to stay with the routine you have. If they sleep on your bed, they can sleep with me. If you allow them on furniture, they will get lots of love and attention sitting next to me! If they enjoy walks, I can do that. I did have a knee replacement a year ago, and I'm definitely out of shape, so I can't run them 3 miles (or even 1! LOL). But they will be fully cared for and lots of attention.
