Our fur babies are our family!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 15 years old. Currently our fur family members are Leia (German Shepard 10.5 years old), Athena (Shepard Pyrenees mix 10 years old), and Jerry (the cat 7 months old). Leia helped raise Jerry since he was 4 weeks old (he was abandoned), so do not be surprised if you see some dog behaviors. Occasionally I will have friends ask me if their pets can stay with us when they go out of town, especially when we are in town during the holiday time.

Baxter loves going to Valerie's. She takes such good care of and spoils my senior dog.

Valerie always takes excellent care of my senior dog. She goes above and beyond to make sure he's comfortable and well fed.

Safety, trust & environment

As I stated in my experience, we have 2 dog companions that are cat and dog friendly. Jerry was raised by Leia and Athena, so he is also cat and dog friendly as well. I do have two large dog crates if for any reason your fur baby feels they need that space during the day or night. Our pets sleep inside with us at night and have lots of play space in our large fenced in backyard. Leia prefers to be indoors, and Athena prefers to be outdoors, so we understand that all pets have different wants and needs. Know with comfort that your fur babies will be taken care of just like family.

Availability

I am a mother, working part-time, and going to school part-time. I am currently making a career change into Nursing and decided that my schedule was flexible enough to help care for other people's pets while I am transitioning into this new career field. I have a routine for my fur babies, and my children and I decided we could care for a few others while we are going through this transition.
