No Place Like My Home for your Pet!

Pet care experience

I am an experienced dog handler and animal lover and will take care of your pet like it is my very own! I live on an 14.5 ac. ranch with horses, cows, and chickens! I have references for the exceptional care I have given, and I am happy to provide them to you! I love dogs and have enjoyed getting to know many breeds through my “Rovering”! My husband and I have handled bite dogs, drug dogs and personal protection dogs. No dog is too large or small for us to care for. If you want the very best care for your pet while you are out of town, moving or in temporary housing that doesn’t allow your fur baby to be with you—look no further than my home! Long or short stays, drop-ins, or regularly scheduled vacations to my home -- all are welcome! I will take the very best care of your four legged fur baby for you! There is nothing like peace of mind that comes through knowing your pet is being well cared fora in your absence. If you have any questions, please call or text me! Drop off hours are after 6am and before 10pm. I work from home in my day job, so my family and I are always home to care for fur babies! WE LOVE ANIMALS here on our little ranchette! There is no place like our home. We have also handled trained bite dogs and personal protection dogs, and have experience handling a variety of breeds. I have a fenced yard, but will make sure your dog is on leash when outside just to be extra cautious. I have lots of space for your fur baby to run and have fun! We will play, go for walks amd get lots of love!
