Information Peggy T. would like to know about your pet

I care about your dog, so any information you give will be noted & followed through during your dog’s visit. I usually ask a few questions during a Meet & Greet to understand fully what’s important to you as well as your pet

A typical day

Each day is different as different breeds visit. Younger guest dogs have more energy & the senior citizens just want to listen to music, work on catching some zzz’s in the sunshine on my deck & others want to park on my lap.

Pet care experience

I’ve resided in my home since 1997 and loved three dogs, all Labradors/Lab Mix. Taylor & Chloe were my first fur kids … at Rainbow Bridge since Feb 2012 & 2013 Grace is my current fur child, she's so smart & sweet, such a precious loving girl. It's easy to provide affection, love & playtime everyday. She was 3 months old when we first met, she instantly melted my heart and without any hesitation I said well cutie you’ve found your fur ever home! She’ll be celebrating her 14th Birthday July 2026 🐾 ❤️ 🐾 Since becoming a Host (March of 2013) I throughly enjoy every opportunity I receive to give my affection & great caring nature to other dogs - caring for guests was definitely a wonderful decision. I've provided care to many different breeds, big & small. It's rewarding getting to know great pet parents & their 4-legged fur kids. The friendships that I've gained give me many reasons to smile and I'm proud of the trust I've built with them & their fur kids. My day's are full of happy smiles, playtime, brief photography sessions, wagging tails & an abundance of kisses. I truly love the service that I provide & your dog will definitely let you know that statement is true. On their future trips here the excitement they’ll exude just coming down the street I live on & how they run up to my door is just a couple examples. Thanks to all my fur friends for telling your parents how happy you are when you’re in my care. It means SO much to me. Woof! Grace is always excited to see who's arriving to spend time with us. She likes to look out the screen door & barks when I tell her they'll be here soon. Guest dogs are allowed up on the living room furniture because I want them to feel comfortable & allow them to be near me when I’m relaxing. I just toss a blanket on the couch to help protect the fabric & all is good. They’re even welcome on my bed too, as long as Grace has her spot ... she & I will make room. Some guests prefer to sleep in their own dog bed in the bedroom, that's ok too. Toys are around, but feel free to bring your dog's favorite when you come to visit, as well as their food ..(special treats) .. instructions, bed, blanket/crate. Whatever comforts they have in your home can be met when they are with me with things they are familiar with. My home has a good sized enclosed backyard for security, potty breaks & playtimes. I like keeping it picked up during the day, stepping in a pile is no fun when the dogs are running & focused on playing. A treat jar sits on the kitchen counter & in the living room. It's funny how they always know where the snacks are. During the summertime, I bring out the kiddie pool so that the 4-legged friends can splash & cool off. They always love to try to retrieve a floating toy in the water. ** Dog's can sense if someone is nice & I am one of those someone's

Peggy is so kind, and I knew my dog would be very well cared for during her time with Peggy. I will definitely work with Peggy again next time I need someone to watch my dog.

I have lost count how many times we have left our dogs w Peggy. I do know that we would not leave them w anybody else. We would reschedule our vacation around her availability if necessary, because she is the only one we trust enough with our dogs. She is the best!

Peggy is the best dog sitter ever! We have been going there for quite some time now and would not trust anyone else with our dogs. When we arrive our dogs make themselves right at home. They feel so happy to be there.

All of us that have 'fur babies', we get nervous about leaving them with someone for a period of time. For years, and different dogs, Peggy has been the saint in our life for our pups when we travel. Just got back from a week away, and our literal 11 month pup spending time with Peggy, we couldn't feel more satisfied with how Peggy loved on our babies. If we didn't have Peggy. I'm not sure we wouldf travel. Trustr us, Peggy will love on your fur babies while youre away. Thank you Peggy!!!!
