“My dog had other dogs to play with which he loved. Tinsley sent me updates with photos and videos. She took him on walks in the woods where he got to run around a run out his energy. He is a very active boy but after coming back home he has slept most of the day away either from being tired or being sad he had to leave.”

“Kathy was absolutely great with my precious old puppy. I booked with her while I went away for a few days. Lola is older and requires medication and some other specific things, and Kathy was on top of everything and gave me updates and photos every day. I knew that lola was in good hands and didn’t have to worry for a second about her. I could tell that lola was very loved and taken care of while she stayed there. Kathy even put a rug down prior to Lola’s stay because she immediately noticed during our Meet & Greet that lola would have trouble with the hard floor - such a sweet animal lover! Highly recommend and will be rebooking in the future 😊”

About: I’ve always had multiple dogs and cats in my home, until I retired and moved here. I want to be able to nurture and care for your pet, as either a sitter, or for boarding in my home. They would have my full attention, and be spoiled. I’m retired, and home most days/nights. I can give your pet my full attention, either by sitting or boarding in my home. Usually available on short notice. I don’t have any animals in the home. I don’t have a fence, but have a large yard in a rural area, distant from any busy roads. Would always accompany them closely when outdoors. The animals would have free roam of my home, including furniture and beds.
About: I cared for a German shepherd most of my childhood until he got cancer, since then I’ve loved dogs, all breeds. Being around animals is what I really like. I'm flexible with schedules and payments, I'm free 95% of the time right now and love being around animals! I can provide care just about anytime right now. I can do the basics, check food, water, clean litter for cats, for dogs I can do walks, food/water, play time etc. if specific instructions are needed just let me know.
