It's important to me that our pets are happy, they are after all family. When we have traveled without our pets, we were always able to have someone we could trust stay with them at our house so that they wouldn't be as stressed. I can't imagine what goes through a dog's mind when they have to be dropped off at a boarding facility with strangers and other dogs barking constantly. I can stay in your home so that your pup(s) are surrounded by a familiar setting while you are away. My husband and I recently retired and travel with our Blue Heeler, Penny. Penny loves to play fetch with her Frisbee and go on hikes. Penny warms up to strangers slowly and isn't always good with other dogs, so we know first hand how difficult it can be to leave her in a boarding facility or with strangers. Fortunately she loves her G'ma and G'pa and can stay with them if we need to be away. I am able to come to your house to care for your pets without Penny tagging along. I'm happy to walk and play with your pup and will send pictures daily so you can enjoy your trip and not worry about your best friend back home.
