As the proud owner of 4 dogs, a Goldendoodle named Goldie, a Rescue Shih tzu named Gizmo, a blind Rescue Shih tzu named Sadie, and a Rescue Dashipoo named Bandito, my cat Samson, and desert tortoise Mr. T, I take pride in caring for and loving my pets. I pass that love and care to other animals as well. No Travel Trauma - your pet won't be upset from being left in an unknown environment and you won't have to worry about transporting your pet to and from a boarding facility. No imposing on friends and neighbors - Sure friends love to help you out while you're away, but they are not always available and often have busy schedules that might not tailor to the needs of your pets. Last minute trips/plans often arise with friends causing them to have to cancel caring for your furry friend at the last minute. I will never cancel on you. You can schedule care months in advance and rest assured that I will be there. No interruptions to daily routines - your pet can stay in familiar surroundings with their own food, bowls, toys, etc. You can schedule appointments that coincide with your daily routine. No exposure to illness/disease - because your pets are in your own home, they will not be around other animals who may have a sickness that can be passed onto your own pet. Your pet will get individualized care - I can provide your companion with the loving, individualized care they deserve in the home environment they are comfortable in.
