Thelma was great with our dog Trey! As soon as he got to her home, he fit right in with her dogs! She showed us the areas he would be in while there ( which were secure) and made us feel comfortable about leaving him. Thelma sent plenty of pictures an communicated with us the whole time we were away. I would def rebook!

Mrs. Thelma was truly a blessing for my family and I! We had a last minute request and she did not hesitate to accept the job! She went above and beyond to ensure I pets had a great time and communicated with us the entire time! I would definitely recommend Mrs. Thelma!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I do work a part-time job very close to home. So if I need to come home or feel the need to let them out again, it’s flexible enough for me to leave if needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I have two dogs so we have a fenced in yard and we also have a petitioned room with crates in the room, but my dogs only go in there if they want to rest. I do not crate my dogs, but you’re welcome to if that’s the routine for your dog.

Pets

A typical day

We have a fenced in back yard so they will see in our neighborhood lots of squirrels and rabbits running around. My dogs love to play fetch with tennis balls and they can all play together.
