Personalized care for your dog or cat - Hixon

“Keisha is amazing and so sweet! She made me feel so much better about leaving my pet. Magic (our cat) loved her and I trust her 100% to care for her. Will definitely be using Keisha again when I go on vacation. 5 STARS !!”

About: Hello fur mums and dads! I’m a super fun, protective and fiercely loyal friend and rescue dog mom of two beautiful boys and two spoiled princesses. It doesn’t matter if your fur babies have attitude, are high maintenance, loves to chill and be lazy - I have seen it all (and I love it)! I have been doing this for over 3 years now and I know and follow all Rover guidelines, I am hyper-aware of your homes security and will go the extra mile to leave your home the same or better than I came to find it! That’s MY guarantee. As per my client reviews, I really do care about pets (and their people) and I like to build that rapport with you and your family. I have experience working with dogs who have special needs such as tri-pawds (dogs without a limb), mesoesophogas, diabetics, dogs who are post-operation, and those with diet and medication requirements. I love seniors and puppies alike, and I believe in positive reinforcement and consistency. I will make sure to follow whatever you/your families bathroom/walking/feeding schedule, as to not throw your pet for a loop. Pets can be very adverse to change, especially when their humans are away, so I’d truly love to have the chance to be your go-to gal for care! If you need someone to just drop in and take your babe to get their “zoomies” out, or someone to sit and distract your anxiety riddled dog - I love to do it all. I know life gets in the way of being the “perfect dog parent” - sometimes you’re stuck with overtime, maybe shift work; or there’s family emergencies and family engagements - maybe even a long weekend out of town - whatever the case may be, please don’t hesitate to give me a shout. Day or night, anytime! I have a clean criminal record, a reliable vehicle, valid (and clean) driving record to transport your animals (if needed) AND I am Dogsafe Canine First Aid Certified. I’m also an approved foster parent for the North Cariboo District BCSPCA and the PG Humane Society. Please know your sweethearts will be in very competent, caring hands during your time of need! Pet care is my “full-time” job. I put all of my energy into each of my stays. I worked for Federal Corrections for nearly a decade so providing supervision and community service is in my blood, so to speak. Animals are healing for me and they provide me with joy and unique learning experiences. I take away something from each pet, each stay and each family. Many people notice that I have my own (very big) fur babies and ask if I bring them along, or what I do with them while I’m watching your pets? Well, I’m blessed to have a wonderful, supportive partner who really is a 10/10 dog daddy and takes the best care of them so I’m allowed time away to take the best care of YOURS! I care for your pets, just as YOU would. I will follow your routine, feeding schedule, sleep schedule, training regimen, etc. as to not cause them an extraneous undue stress or anxiety. This is why meet and greets are so important to me and vital to continuity of care. For dogs staying in my home: I have a beautifully fenced and secure backyard. I have two trained neutered male dogs who are playful, balanced and welcoming. They love to have company and meet new friends. But if your doggo requires a more quiet environment - I have a separate comfortable space with safe and secure crates (both extra large and extra small) at the ready. So you don’t have to worry about lugging out your own! I am proud to say I have gone all out creating a plush, cozy, quiet environment, just for your pet! Complete with dog-friendly TV shows and/or music, ambient lighting, dog-safe aromatherapy and all natural treats and chewies for them to enjoy and gnaw on, if needed.
