Animal lover who will love your pet

Pet care experience

I've had lots of pets over the years and my life has been made a lot richer for having animals in it. I am very comfortable with the care of dogs, cats, birds and tortoises as these are the pets that I've had the most. I am comfy with the care of puppies and have spent a long time volunteering with rescues. Dogs and cats that have special quirks or need additional care are welcome with me. I'm here to offer a loving and caring environment for all animals regardless of their issues or needs.

River took such good care of Louie while I was away. She was very communicative, sent updates, and made sure all of my questions were answered before the stay so I could have peace of mind. Louie settled right in and had a good time staying with her and Laguna!

River was great with Pluto, who has separation anxiety. She cared for him thoughtfully and he warmwd up after a short time.

River took such great care of Penny, and it was a bonus that River had a such a sweet dog of her own, Lagoona. We loved that River sent us pictures everyday, and we could tell that Penny was very comfortable and at ease. Would absolutely book again!

River was wonderful! Our dog can be a handful at times, but she handled him perfectly all day. We look forward to working with her again soon
