I have loved and owned dogs all my life. In 2024, I lost my beloved Tito, a rescue, who I loved for over 12 years. I retired in October 2024, alone with my husband. Since we are planning on travelling over the next few years, we have decided not to adopt another pet at the moment. However, we both miss having a dog to love, cuddle, and play with. What started out as watching a friend's pups while she was away, grew into a small business.
With over 10 years experience volunteering at local animal shelters, you can feel secure leaving your dog(s) with me.
I only host one dog family at a time. All my love and attention will be for your dog(s) only. I do my best to accommodate
your dog's schedule and needs, so they feel as comfortable as possible in my home while you are away. I have a large
fenced in backyard where they are never left unattended. I will take them on walks and provide daily play time if your dog enjoys that!
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or habits, so I am able to accommodate their individual personalities. Dogs are as unique as people and loved for their individuality.
Here are some of the wonderful dogs I've had the pleasure of caring for.
"Our dog Happy is pretty difficult to work with and isnt friendly with some people so its hard to find a good sitter. This isn't a problem with Lee. Happy loves staying with her. And it doesn't matter if its for a quick weekend or extended vacation, our minds are always at ease when our dog stays with her."

"One of the kindest, most honest and comforting people we have met! Lee was INCREDIBLE with my dog Rosie who took to her and her husband so quickly. My family has never left their dog alone with anyone and was so nervous to leave her with someone but immediately felt comfortable when we met Lee. We will 1000% be leaving our pups with her in the future and can't recommend her more :) thanks again!"

"Lee was wonderful with my pup. Whe was very accomodating and understanding. My dog was well taken care of and happy. I received pictures and videos often putting my mind at ease while I was away. I had no worries. She is definitely a caretaker I would use again."
- Savita R. in August 2024
"Lee took wonderful care of our dog, kept us updated. Would highly recommend her and will use her again!"

I currently do not charge Holiday rates.
A meet and greet is required prior to the first booking. I want to make sure your dog(s) like and feel comfortable with me.
All breeds are welcome and I love dogs of all types, however, I do not watch dog(s) over 45 lbs.
Because I only watch one family at a time, I get booked pretty far in advance, especially for school And holiday breaks. Please contact me as far in advance as possible. I will pencil you in until another family requests the same time. At this point, you will be asked to commit and leave a deposit to secure the booking.
Since I have no pets and only host one family at a time, I can host up to 4 dogs.
You will provide enough food for your dog(s) entire stay. Please bring a harness/collar or leash for each dog. Any sweaters/jackets for cold weather, if needed. I do have dog beds, blankets, and a dog crate and food bowls, but you are welcome to bring their own if that makes them more comfortable.
I am flexible with cancellations, up to 2 days prior to drop off date. Less than 48 hours will result in forfeit of deposit since I had to turn away other families during those booked dates.
Puppies require a lot more love and care, frequent potty breaks, and tend to have frequent accidents in the house.
My husband Tommy, who is also retired, and myself are the only people in the home. He loves dogs also and they always love him back. No young children visit and we refrain from having visitors when dog(s) are visiting.
