Pet care experience

I love dogs. I have owned dogs most of my life. Small dogs are my specialty. I am able to care for dogs up to 30 pounds. I currently spend time with my granddog. She loves her grammy. I have a nice apartment in a quiet complex. Your pet would be treated like my own. I can walk, care for your pet at my place or yours, day care and overnights. I would love to meet you and your pet. Reasonable rates.

Velma has watched our little dog many times! She does well at Velma’s and Velma sends pictures and updates daily without having to ask. We love having Velma watch her!

Velma did such a great job with our little guy, we would absolutely trust her with him again!

Our 17-yr old Shima is very needy, and Velma was able to care for her as we requested. Chase has never been put in a kennel or doggy care of any kind, but did not seem traumatized at all, was well fed (though very picky) and Velma was able to give her the medications required.

We ended up having to change our original plans. Velma was very understanding and accommodating to us. We sure appreciate her.
