Just Like Home; No Crating
40 years of experience caring for pets in Belgrade, Maine.
Pet care experience
Taking care of beloved pets is taking care of pet owners. Relaxing time away can only happen if you can trust that your pets are loved and taken care of almost as good as you😊 I have had a variety of pets my entire life. Friends, neighbors and family have trusted me to take excellent care of their pets. I have gone to their home, they have come to my home and I have visited just to walk them. I love all animals and have learned over the years how to recognize their individual needs. We have a quiet space with lots of grass and woods for playing. My groomer told me there is a need for pet care and I want more pets in my life, so this is perfect for me.
I work closely with pet parents to make sure your pet has everything they need to feel right at home. We are outside a lot! I love to walk in all kinds of weather and I love to play outside whenever possible. In addition, I love farm animals too!
Your pets are safe in my back yard. I always go outside with the pets and will use a leash if need be. I make pets feel right at home inside our home as well.
Kitty Connection is my Specialty!
20 years of cat care experience
Deep cleaning litter boxes, food dishes, is high priority for me! I love to brush those who love the brush! Talking, playing, petting your little fur babies gives me peace! I love to hear them purr!😻
A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally. We have plenty of land, with plenty of woods . We walk a lot checking out smells and scenery. In addition, we play lots of different ball games. In the summer, if pets want to play in the water, I love that! Of course, there is always the squirrels! We hike on local trails. I have a tiny horses belt system and can walk up to eight dogs on my belt through the hiking trails. The dogs absolutely absolutely love it. We do sniff and walks and I carry plenty of water with me. If my dog stay overnight, they all know that they can sleep in my big king size bed with my husband and me. I have a swimming pool that’s in ground and I teach them how to get in and out of it and I also have tiny swimming pools for those who prefer just that to cool off, we do play dates where I take dogs with me to fenced in yards with other doggy clients. I pick your dog up in the morning go to all the play dates and hiking trails, then bring your doggy home. It’s the way Life should be.
