Pet care experience

Good Pet Vibes only!

I have had dogs for the past 30 years. I am an approved foster home for a pug rescue. I have rescued several dogs! The last two years, I have been a dog walker! The dog I recently rescued was a client I walked whose mom was disabled. She needed more care than her mom could give her. We bonded from the first walk, and I knew I could be her forever home! I have a blind/deaf pug as well. I do a lot of housesitting and dogsitting it’s always a joy! My home is on an acre. I have my own business out of my home, and so I am home all day and your pet will not be left alone! I am home all day running my health coach business. Pet care will keep me busy and your animal happy..and the resident dogs will love having playmates! I do have a portion of my yard fenced in so the dogs have lots of room to run and play and be dogs. Dogs are rarely crated unless they are used to that and the owner request that they have time in their crate.

Knowing Merri is safely tucked up with Pam caring for her makes in the difference for me enjoying my time. Could not be happier!

Pamela gave me such peace of mind that my 16 year old morkie was safe and sound. Her dogs provided great comfort and companionship to my sweet, fragile girl. Being that she’s blind and deaf, she needed an experienced, patient sitter. Pamela had everything in place to meet my old dogs needs. And I could tell that my pet felt right at home with her. I got regular updates and quick communication. Can’t praise Pamela enough for all her caring and professionalism. Two paws up!

Could not be happier. We recently moved into the area and I needed someone who could make Merri feel at home when I travel. Pam was perfect! Helped both of us feel comfortable. Thank you!

Pamela totally saved us with a last minute request! She was very accommodating to my old senior Mochi and was able to arrange a quiet area for him to rest as well as a fenced outdoor area for him to roam. I was a little worried letting someone else watch Mochi since he's old dog ailments and we're from out of town, but Pamela gave me such a peace of mind with her experience with senior dogs and it showed with how great she took care of my ol'boy! I will definitely be back in touch with Pamela next time we're in the area and need a dogsitter :)
