In Your Own Backyard Home and Pet Sitting – With the holidays coming up I would like to remind you of all the pets that are homeless. If you are thinking of bringing a pet into your home, open your heart and adopt a loving pet from our shelters. Pets have so much love to give but please remember….giving a pet as a gift isn’t always a good idea. Make sure the people are ready to open their hearts to the love they are about to receive from their new pet. November brings Thanksgiving and the time to count another year of blessings. I would like to take this time to send a big Thank You for Sharing Your Pets With Me. Also, remember that turkey bones are dangerous to pets and all the trimmings are too rich for their digestive systems, so keep table food away from your pets. Whether you are leaving for a few hours, days, a week or longer, even holidays and weekends, call me to care for your home and/or pets while you are away. I customize my service to the home/pet owner providing your pets with the same care and comfort they receive from you at home, eliminating the stress of your pets being placed in unfamiliar surroundings. I will also care for your home with the same pride as you have for it, bring in your newspapers, mail, watering your plants and rotating your lights throughout your home. It is not too early to schedule your home and/or pet sitting for the holidays. Here’s to a HAPPY THANKSGIVING – Bless You and Your Pets, as You have Blessed Me.
