Pet care experience

Reliable, loving and active!

Hello! We are Pat and Amy Having recently retired, we are excited to enter a new chapter of life focused on caring for animals. We have been happily married for 15 years, and our home has always been defined by the love of family and pets. We have three kids that have recently graduated from college and are starting their adult lives which frees our time up for other adventures. One of the very first things we did as a married couple was adopt our rescue dog, Sedona. We spent 15 wonderful years hiking, playing in the yard and showering Sedona with love before she sadly passed away last year. We also shared our home with a wonderful cat who loved playing in the backyard and cuddling with us. While we deeply miss our own pets, we have decided to focus on caring for other people’s pets for now. Because we are retired, your pets will have our full, undivided attention and companionship. We understand that pets are cherished family members, and leaving them can be hard. Having raised a rescue dog and a cat together, we are experienced in understanding animal body language, maintaining consistent routines, and offering patient care. We love the outdoors, hiking, and exploring new areas, making us the perfect match for active dogs who love long walks. However, we are just as content relaxing at home, meaning your lap-loving cats or senior dogs will have plenty of cozy cuddle time. We are respectful, clean, and dedicated to keeping your home secure and your pets completely at ease. We look forward to the opportunity to meet you and care for your pets.

Pat & Amy have done a wonderful job caring for our dog. They are caring, dependable and attentive. It's clear they enjoy spending time with animals. We have always felt comfortable knowing that our dog is in such good hands. We really appreciate the attention they provide and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, responsible pet sitters.

Pat and Amy have taken care of our dog several times. They take great care of her: walk her, play with her, give her lots of attention and treats. (Dare I say "spoil her"?) She loves them and is very happy to be with them in our absence. They will take great care of your pets. Don't hesitate to use them.

We are both retired, and unless we are traveling we should have time to care for pets. We both have SUV;s, so transporting pets should not be a concern.

Safety, trust & environment

When watching animals in our house, we ensure that the doors or screens are closed to ensure safety. While we do not have a fenced yard, we live in a very wooded area so taking dogs for a walk is easy. Dog's would never be unattended or off-leash.
