About: I am now taking walking and sitting appointments for my area of Gibraltar, Gross Ile, or Woodhaven beginning May 1st. For boarding, my house sits on almost an acre of land on a quiet street on Horse Island. It is a dog's paradise. My backyard is fenced-in, but the dogs are never left alone. With years of experience caring for animals, I understand the nuances of pet needs and behaviors. I have even helped clients with behavior problems such as barking and jumping. Whether engaging in playful activities, enjoying peaceful walks, or simply providing a comforting presence, I ensure each pet feels at home. Let your furry friend enjoy a vacation as relaxing as yours! I am retired, a full-time homemaker, and a gardener. During your workday or vacation, I can walk your dog at your home or leave your loved one with me. I live on a nice, quiet street on the water in Gibraltar. I am fit for walking or running with your dog near your home or mine.

“My wife and I have used Chase multiple times in the past couple years. We have 2 huskies and one has allergies and Chase takes care of all his needs while we are gone. Chase is very responsible and mature but most of all she loves animals. The best thing about Chase is that she will stay overnight to watch the pets which is a huge plus for us. You can't go wrong with hiring Chase to watch your pets, we give her a A+ rating.”

Sandra Z.
“After moving to the area I began looking for a place for overnight or weekend care for my best friend. I was appalled to find the facilities that promised "first class boarding and care" for my puppy (officially dog but she will always be my puppy), were actually large rooms with a lot of chain link cages! I was so happy to find Sandra. My puppy now has a beautiful and loving home environment that is every bit the equal of my home. When I come to pick her (Princess) up she is, of course, glad to see me but I have this nagging suspicion that she would like to hang around with Sandra a little more. Maybe it's because Sandra has a better yard than Princess has at her real home!”
