“Our dog had such a wonderful stay with Lori!! She did an awesome job communicating and sending pictures during his stay which alleviated a lot of my anxiety about leaving him with someone new. Thank you Lori and Jim for making Toby feel at home!”
“Marycarmen took very good care of my 3 month old puppy who was still recovering from an ear infection. She administered his ear drops, hand fed him because of his cone, and sent pictures to update me. Highly recommend!”
“Erica is amazing. We just picked up our dog from an 8 day stay with her. He spent his week walking around town, playing fetch at the dog park and snuggling. I wasn’t sure he would want to come home with us because he had such a great time”
“Vanessa, Is a greater care taker for dogs. She was great with our dad g LoLa a 7lb Maltese. They had a great time together and LoLa was happy and spunky after spending a week with Vanessa.

About: I have a lifetime of experience owning and caring for cats and dogs, including my own senior cat, Cleo, who had complex medical needs and needed daily medication. I know how important it is to have someone who is responsible, reliable, and attentive to care for your pets when you’re not home. I have basic medical care experience i.e. administering oral/topical medication, CBD, monitoring and wound care. I am also familiar with preparing custom meals based off of nutritional needs. I am currently working part time and have a flexible schedule. Please let me know what you need and I will try to accomodate you. It's my priority to make sure that your pet is safe and cared for according to your directions. If boarding; I don't have other pets or children and I have a large, screened lanai so they can have plenty of out door time.
