Pet care experience

I've cared for birds and dogs since I was a child. I have kept several dogs for friends while they are on vacation. The last dog I owned lived 16 1/2 years and loved doggie day care when I was working. I also currently volunteer with dog handling at a local rescue. I'm recently retired from my career and my husband works from home so your fur baby will get lots of.loving care as well as fenced in yard play time.

We absolutely love having our girl stay with Rae and David. I know they will take excellent care of her. Winston is an amazing host dog, and River just loves him. It's such a blessing to know that she's getting the best possible care, and having a great time too! I can't recommend them enough!
