I am a devoted animal lover, having been raised in large family with a wide variety of pets in a rural mid-western town. Over the years, I have raised a Rough Collie, three Pomeranians, a Maltese and many cats. I love dogs, but since moving to Arizona 20+ years ago, I only raised cats with my demanding full-time job. Now that I am retired, however, I am ready to make some new canine friends. I have been sitting for friends’ dogs for years; the photos I have posted here depict many of them, as well as those I have raised. I currently have two cats that my husband and I adopted as kittens from the Humane Society several years ago who are our very spoiled fur babies. Because they rule the roost, we are unable to board other people's pets in our home, but I am more than willing to spend time with your pets in their own familiar surroundings. I strive to adhere to their normal feeding schedules, I will walk them, play with them, cuddle them, and give belly rubs. I will also transport them to and from grooming and vet appointments if ever you find yourself in a time crunch. If you require check-in visits only, I will spend as much time with your pets as is necessary in making sure their needs are fully met and they are comfortable. In the unlikely event of an emergency, I will transport your pet to your designated veterinarian. I am very reliable and can often be available on short notice. You can always relax knowing that your pets are getting the care and attention they deserve, and their happiness and well-being are always my highest priority. I love all of God's beautiful creatures, and I look forward to meeting yours soon!
