Information Pamela M. would like to know about your pet

I am not accepting younger large breed dogs at this time. I am accepting trained mature large or small breed dogs. I always like to do a meet and greet before taking on any assignments.

A typical day

I do a lot of hikes and take lots of walks where I live, go into town to explore. I have lived in this area for only a short time after moving here from Nevada. And look forward to exploring more of it with a 4 legged friend. Playing with toys I would only do in a controlled environment and we can have lots of great conversations together. I am fluent in Dog.

I am totally dedicated to your dog.

Pet care experience

I have owned two Great Danes for 9 years and two beautiful Whippets for 17 years. I am very knowledgable about good health for all animals as well as proper nutrition and can provide homemade or raw diets as required. I love long walks 3 to 5 miles is fine if your dog would like that. I live in a beautiful area which is very conducive for dog walking in beautiful natural surroundings, wonderful paths and safe places to explore. I can't say I have met a dog i didn't like or he didn't like me. I like to meet with the owner/s and pet to get acquainted with each other as well as learning your pets schedule and important needs to provide a personalized experience. Having owned horses pigs ,goats ,cats, birds, and a monkey I must say dogs are mans best friend and my favorite. I can train your dog with basic obedience commands if needed at no additional charge. I also offer mail pick up and watering of plants when at your home which is included in my fee. Text or calls are my preferred method of communication, I will return all calls promptly, please leave voicemails if no answer.

Pamela treats animals with the utmost love and care. My baby Annie stayed with her for about five days at her home. I’m pretty sure that Annie would be thrilled if I dropped her off there for a couple of days per month to be honest. Pamela even cooked chicken for her and sought out activities that suited my dog’s personality. If your fur baby is a cherished member of the family, then I recommend Pamela to care for your child.

What a wonderful experience we had with Pamela today! She communicated clearly, went above and beyond to ensure our Lizzie had a wonderful day and allowed us to have a much-needed stress-free dog-free day! Highly recommend. You will not find a more gracious, lovely, caring Petsitter anywhere!

We had an excellent experience with Pamela. Our 5 year old rescue has separation anxiety but he was calm and happy staying with Pamela. I'm not sure he was ready to go home at the end of his stay. Numerous walks and lots of attention. Highly recommend.

Pamela was above and beyond!! She was amazing at being able to read Buddy’s energy and address his needs! Our dog Buddy loved her so much that he didn’t want to leave her at pick up - which is the BEST sign! Thank you, Pamela!
