For over 35 years I have cared for my own pets, family, friends and neighbors pets. These pets have ranged from puppies, adults, senior dogs, to include rescues. Cats, kittens, rabbits and wild animals - nurtured, raised and released baby birds and squirrels. I am able to recognize and manage emotional discomfort such as anxiety, fear and pain with calming patiences and emergency care if needed. You are choosing for your pet (s) the experienced and knowledgeable nurturer, loving, a fun filled time, and a safe home while you are away. As well as an awesome playmate - King Odin. I work at home 2 days - I am semi retired. This gives me a lot of special time to provide for your furbaby. With a love of gardening, we will be up early for a walk in the big yard to see and sniff everything as well as do "business". Then in for breakfast and back out again for a long walk, returning home to play until the first of many naps, followed by play. Oh yes, snacks here and there. I am home daily, but if there is a need to go out, it is no longer then 1 to 2 hour. There is a camera set up in the main area to check pets while out. Then comes Dinner, followed by a long walk returning home and everyone piles on the sofa for some TV before getting into the big bed - if you allow. The large yard is fenced and the covered porch has doggie doors on each end. If it is storming out, pets have a rocked area in the spa room to do their business. There is a doggie door to the inside of the house when your baby is ready to cool off, play inside or just relax and sleep. King Odin, my 9 lb. longhaired dachshund, will show everyone around, loves to play and gets along with other. Your baby will never long for attention or something to do!
