Pet care experience

Our animals are part of the family!

We have owned fur babies for the last 25 years, from dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, goats, as well as pet hamsters and rats. We've had the privilege of taking care of our cats and dogs almost 25 years. We have had them from puppyhood and kittenhood to their geriatric years (two dogs to age 16!). Currently we have three yellow labs; two that we adopted from my parents when they passed, they are, 4,4, and 9 years old. We have always had our dogs trained with the basic obedience commands and we only use encouraging words and actions to help them learn. Many of our animals were rescue pups. We also have dog friendly indoor/outdoor cats.

Very dependable and treated our dog very kindly and tried to decrease his anxiety. Susan is great and we will definitely book her help again.

We offer in home care, to include drop off, doggy day care and pet sitting for dogs and cats.

It is good to know your pets daily activities and routines. I also like to know what motivates and calms your pet; play time, affection, gentle grooming, quiet time, socialization. As well as what stresses your pet, what sorts of fears they have and if they any emotional or behavioral challenges.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
