Help for your Domesticated Zoo!

Pet care experience

I have had dogs since I was a young child. Does your dog (or other pet) need TLC when your out or care while you are away? With years of experience I offer in and out of home care for pets of neighbors, family and friends. This includes daily walks, special feedings, medications and extra TLC to keep your pet well cared for. We love them all...the mature but timid rescue to those learning puppies with lots of energy!

Pam was GREAT. Morph came home very happy, and I know he was well taken care of because I got excellent photos and nightly updates! Pam was super flexible with drop off and pick up, and we would book Morph another "staycation" with her in a heartbeat! Highly recommend!

Pam and her family were great sitters for Gonzo on his first stay with them, and we will definitely be repeat customers! They made sure he got settled and comfortable in their home, sent daily updates and were flexible when a flight cancelation meant he'd be picked up later than expected. He was quite tired when he got home: always the sign of a good time :)

We are from out of state and had our dog with us on vacation. We needed someone to watch her for a day. Pam did a wonderful job with our dog April. She was amazing and very accommodating. If we comeback to town we would definitely have Pam watch our dog again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in back yard and lots of indoor play space as well. Since I walk 3+ miles daily your pet can get as short or long outdoor time that fits their needs. The only pets we have at home at this time are fish and hermit crabs. Additional love and attention are given to our ‘extended family’ from my two kids still at home. My son is 15-a PAWZ volunteer at Henson Robinson Zoo. My daughter is in college and greatly appreciates having “the best animals in the world” around to borrow and love on until she finishes her degree.

Information Pamela W. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog know any commands? Does he/she prefer to long distance walks or shorter walks with lots of smells? Are there other animals they enjoy interacting with? I do not have a preference for any specific breed. I have the most experience with larger male dogs. If your pet had any specific fears/dislikes (mail person, garbage trucks, plastic bags, ect...) letting me know can make him/her have a smoother experience. I look forward to getting to know your dog better. :)
