Pet Boarding in Richland

About: I have always loved animals. I grew up feeding stray cats and giving them a warm place to stay before finding them homes. My first dog I was 10 and his name was Flipper. I found my love of animals at a very young age. I am always available to pet sit for friends and family and I would love to help you with your fur baby! I am currently not working full time so my availability is pretty open! I am up early during the week days. I’m also available Weekends! Caring for a pet in home would mean feeding, spending quality time, cleaning up any messes they make and just lots and lots of attention.

“My shorthaired pointer named Riot is exactly that..a riot. When I picked him up I saw something I have never seen from another sitter...a tired dog! He was obviously taken very well care of and kept busy the whole time. I couldn't be happier with his stay at their home and it made going on vacation easy because I knew he was in excellent hands. Thank you so much! Emi-Jo and Riot”

“Thank you, Kayla and Doobie. We needed a care giver for our dog, Millie. We got that and so much more. Millie received excellent care and found a new friend in Doobie and we got peace of mind while we were away. We will call again.”
