I was born and raised in Iowa, and I grew up around animals all of kinds. During that time I always had a dog by my side, with a couple cats mixed in there as well. Currently my husband and I have 3 dogs and they are loved unconditionally. My husband is in the military and we moved to North Carolina in September 2019. I worked at an animal shelter in Georgia, where we fostered many dogs of all breeds and ages. I worked at an animal clinic and a grooming salon in Alaska, and I worked at a animal clinic in North Carolina, but I left that job to pursue my work more towards my degree in art. I had a baby in January 2021, so i cleared my schedule for a bit,, but now I'm back and look forward to helping you with your pets. We live in a small, quiet neighborhood and we have a big fenced in backyard. Our house is big enough we can open our hearts to boarding for 1-2 pets at a time and it's big enough just in case our pets need to be separated from your pets. I am willing to drive 30 minutes from home for pick ups. I like to try new walking or hiking trails in the surrounding area and having a furry companion always makes me happy and it gives them exercise that they usually enjoy. While boarding, if a bath is requested, the price will depend on how big the pet is. I love to take photos and would be more than happy to send multiples and written updates a day or just one update a day depending on preference. Although our dogs get hyper when new people are around and fool everyone about having any manners, they are able to calm down. They enjoy their day outside, soaking in the sun when the weather is nice. They also have comfy beds inside whenever they want to come in and nap. We have a calm environment in our home until it is playtime. I like to have music playing most of the day and I usually end up dancing with the dogs. Animals make me happy and I like to return the love to them. If there are any questions, I haven't answered please feel free to ask.
