Notes and Events:

July 28, 2010 We have a waiting list for service requests in August; and accepting new clients for service dates after August 30. Please let us know if we can assist you in finding other professional pet sitters in your area!

July 8, 2010 We are collecting new and gently used pet care supplies, for donation to Alley Cat Rescue of Mt. Ranier, MD. Alley Cat Rescue provides low-cost vaccination, spay and and neuter services to cat owners and feral cat caretakers in our area. Dog items are also appreciated, as they are donated to low-income families that need help keeping their pets out of shelters. Food, bowls, leashes, collars, litter, litter pans, crates and totes, blankets, towels, bleach are just a few of the items on the "wish list."  We will be happy to pick up items at your home; please go to our "contact us" page and send us an email!

 

February 26, 2010  Christi volunteered at Alley Cat Rescue's SpayDayUSA Event. About 30 cats and 2 dogs were brought in for low-cost spay/neuter surgery and full vaccinations. That translates into about 100 kittens and puppies that will not be concieved and born this Spring, just to suffer a short life on the streets. Many thanks to all the staff at Brentwood Animal Hospital for allowing us to join in the event!
