Pet Care Extraordinaire

Pet care experience

One of the first things my friends will tell you about me is when I come to their houses I greet their dogs before I greet them. I'm also at the top of their list of who to call for pet sitting when they're out of town, not only for their dogs but for their chickens, horses, cats, and even birds. They trust me implicitly to always do what is best for their animals. I have handled senior dogs on special diets with several oral medications, female dogs in heat wearing diapers to keep blood off the carpet and furniture, puppies who aren't fully potty trained, and even a few food aggressive dogs. As long as I am fully informed about what your pet needs, I can handle anything they dish out. I live in a great neighborhood for leash walking dogs, and also have a fenced in yard so your dog can really get outside and run. I am only available to pet sit on weekends (Friday through Sunday) as I work long hours Monday through Thursday and don't feel it is right to leave client dogs outdoors or crated for 12 hours (I work 10 hour shifts). I can accept drop offs for weekend stays on Thursday after 6:30pm if you plan to leave for a weekend trip on Friday morning.

I've known Pamela for over 20 years. We have worked side by side with animals of all kinds and I trust her 100% with ALL of my animals. Dogs, cats, horses, chickens and goats. And even small animals like guinea pigs and rabbits and even fish. She has been my go too when we are away or on vacation, and I trust her in our home to "farm sit" for us. She communicates daily and let's me know if something is wrong. I trust her with my animals (or should I say my children) and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to feel at ease while away.

Information Pamela W. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences or fears. As long as you are up front and honest about your dog I can make it work. I have handled food aggression, fear aggression, dogs who "forget" they are potty trained in new locations and many other odd and quirky behaviors. They can all be managed if I am aware of them ahead of time.

A typical day

I have a large fenced in yard where your dog can run and play fetch. I live in a neighborhood where it is safe to take dogs out on a leash.
