Pauline & Lena T. have Star Sitter status

The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

Lena and I are animal lovers.

Pet care experience

Our mild mannered and intelligent Golden Retriever, Buffy is 11 years and 1 mo. old. Others who see me walking Buffy daily tell me, "Everybody knows Buffy. He's such a good boy." My daughter and I have sat for our family's pets (dog, cat, bird & iguana) when they go out of town. All pets are different, one cat does not like dogs, the other plays with Buffy and go in his dog cage freely. Both cats and some dogs like sleeping on our bed. I am an animal lover, and bring leftover good food I know we will not finish eating to the park by the trees when I walk our dog. I have seen cats, red fox, even a deer in the small area around the park pond. I have gone out to find the shivering cat trying to warm himself up under a street lamp but ran away when I approached him, because I was walking with Buffy. I couldn't find him. My daughter tells me not to read about mistreated animal stories because I get upset. Whatever I'm able to donate goes to animal shelters. I products through Amazaon Smile online because they donate a small portion to ASPCA. If we are mutually a good fit after having a Meet and Greet, pets we board will get the best of care and lots of attention. They will go home happy.

Pauline and Lena are great sitters. They show a lot of commitment to taking care of Roxy. When they have personal appointments to attend they always figure out ways to stay attentive to her.

Pauline and Lena took care of Tux like their own. They sent daily updates which were great! We would definitely use their services again to take care of Tux the next time we’re out of town.

I traveled out of the country this time and once again Pauline and Lena were great. I had peace of mind knowing that my fur child was being loved and spoiled. Thank you!

My home has no off limit areas for trained dogs. We have a fenced in backyard where the dogs can play with each other or just lay around on the lawn. All dogs in our care receive the same attention and care Buffy gets from us. It's what I would want for Buffy if we have to board him.

Information Pauline & Lena T. would like to know about your pet

The dog's habits, good and bad, feeding time, etc. and any helpful information we should know to make dog boarding a fun time for them and us.

A typical day

Depends of what the dog owner tells me what their dog likes to do. I walk for an hour daily with Buffy around one or more of the many small parks in our neighborhood. We cannot walk dogs we board but they enjoy spending time in our backyard. They get enough exercise as they like to spend a lot of time out.
