Pet care experience

Our family has had dogs for 30 years plus we grew up with dogs. I believe in healthy lifestyle for dogs such as a daily walk and good nutritious food plus lots of attention and love. My husband and I love having canine guests because for the first time in our lives we don't have dogs of our own. We have decided to just take care of other peoples pets for a while:) The cat "Casper" is part of our family but stays generally outside and keeps to himself. I have a part time job and my husband works from home so your dog(s) will not be alone much if at all. We live on a lake and have lots of wildlife to watch from our front porch where we spend a lot of time with "our" dogs.

Max had another great day with Wendy! He stayed outside most of the time and made a new friend called Bear. He’s stayed with Wendy so many times now, he pulls me to the backyard as soon as he gets there.

Max always has a great time with Wendy! She has a giant fenced backyard for him to run in and plenty to explore which keeps him entertained.

Max had a great time with Wendy and Bo, and she managed to keep both dogs happy on a very rainy day.

Wendy and Dave are fabulous with Max, and he loves going to their house. They have a huge fenced backyard - perfect for a high-energy dog. Wendy has kindly accommodated my ever-changing schedule.
