I am extremely flexible since I’m retired. I’m a writer/artist and spend lots of time exploring the areas around Buena Vista and Fairplay. And there are many days I just stay home in my three acres enjoying the view.

Information Peggy B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your animal has special needs. With my pharmacy background I’m comfortable dealing with medical or emotional issues to make sure they are comfortable.

A typical day

There are 60 miles of quiet gravel roads in my neighborhood we can explore! I’m pretty good at throwing a ball and love to play. Cuddling on the couch is wonderful too. I’ll be happy to provide whatever your pet needs.

Pharmgirl compassionate animal care

Pet care experience

I’ve owned every animal from alpacas to peacocks during my Illinois farm life. We always had a pack of hounds running around! Five years ago I retired from pharmacy, sold my farm and moved to the mountains. I miss my canine crew (they lived to ripe old ages) and would love to provide a safe and happy environment for your pet.

Peggy took great care of our two dogs and house while we were away. We appreciate the regular updates she shared and would absolutely ask her to watch them again.

We are beyond grateful to have found Peggy! Her experience, kindness, and calming presence made her the perfect fit for our beloved senior pup. Caring for an older dog requires patience and understanding, and Peggy’s expertise in working with senior pets gave us complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond, taking the time to visit for a meet-and-greet to ensure our pup felt comfortable. While we were away, her thoughtful updates kept us reassured. We will absolutely be calling on Peggy again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable pet sitter!

Peggy watched our two dogs in our home. She was very communicative, sent us photos and took great care of them. We have a few requirements for our dogs and Peggy seemed to handled it all with ease. We would definitely ask her to watch our dogs & home again!

Peggy B. is amazing!!! She went above and beyond our expectations. I am pretty sure Linky has a new best friend. We will definitely be hiring her again! Thank you, Peggy!
