Pet care experience

We have lived here TN for over a 5 years now and love it here. We have been watching many animals for the last 8 years. We have had several small animals that we cared for over the last 8 years. It has been hard to leave them but we had to make a move out of California. We love our animals and we would love yours also. I am retired and I'm home with the animals so we can care for them properly. Our yard is not fenced in. But we take them outside several times a day. They get their walks in on a daily basis. Be sure and check out our reviews before making a decision. You will find our clients have really enjoyed us watching their pet. We require a meet and greet first before we take in any dog. We will do a Zoom or Duo video chat if we can't do a home visit first. All dogs must like to be with other dogs. They need to get along with each other. I have always loved animals, we have had a few pets. We understand how important it is that your animals be cared for properly and loved also. They can be free and not caged up for extended periods of time. We will make sure your pet is well cared for. You can enjoy your time away and not worry about your pet. About this sitter: We are a caring and loving couple of animals. Our home is always opened to care for them. We will treat them as if they were our own. About my yard We live in a new home. I take them out for walks quite often during the day. There is plenty of room for the dogs to run around in. I always keep water out side for the animals. They will still spend time in the house with us. My experience administering medication Yes, that is not a problem. Either one of us can administer medication. We are both retired and stay home most of the time. We love having dogs around us all the time. Will give them loving care. We don't have a fenced in yard as yet. But we do take them out for several potty breaks throughout the day and night. I know how important it is for them to be outside as much as possible.

I love all the pictures I receive of Lucy when she is with Jeff and Shirley. I don’t worry about her and I know she is loved.

Shirley and Jeff take great care of my elderly spaniel. She's always comfortable with them; eats her food and takes any medication with less fuss than she gives me it seems!

Can’t say enough good things about this couple. Lucy feels comfortable there and misses them when she comes home. I use them monthly and will continue to. Highly recommend.
