Safety, trust & environment

I live with my three older teenage children who have experience caring for animals. We have had our dogs for about 7 years, They are part of the family. They are also fully and up to date on shots and all dental work. Keeping EVERYONE HEALTHY is very important to me. As I mentioned I also fostered cats for a rescue so I am an APPROVED foster. I also volunteer with different rescue groups to network pets needing homes. I take the dogs on walks in my calm and quiet neighborhood several times a day for them to exercise and have potty breaks. Bowls are sanitized daily. I have a roomy home! It’s a split level home with an open floor plan. Our pets are allowed throughout the home as are all our furry guests!

A typical day

I love to give dogs plenty of exercise. We go on several walks a day. We also have many dog toys to keep them busy. My friendly dogs love to play with our pup guests as well! They are also very good hosts and don’t mind sharing their toys or beds!!

Home Away From Home

Pet care experience

I had a dog growing up, a cocker spaniel pup named Snoopy. I have had my dogs (Wrigley and Charlie) for about 7 years and fostered Cats (Ginko and Bruno) for about 6 months. They HAVE found their forever home! I have had wonderful experiences sitting for Rover clients! I have experience giving medication and caring for senior dogs.
