Keeping Tails Wagging!

I have been working with animals since the age 13. My first job that started my animal loving career was at the age 15, as a kennel tech and it has stuck. I have been around animals as a profession and a hobby since then. I have 4 fur babies of my own. Each of them is very special and dear to me. Fur babies make life that more enjoyable. Animal care is my passion. If there are specific needs for your baby, I am willing to work with those needs.

Dena always takes great care of Toby. He is excited every time he gets to visit her and is a tired boy when he gets home. Lots of play and fun him. We trust her completely with our dog.

We always trust Dena with Toby. He is excited to see her and comes home a very tired puppy from playing so hard. So glad we found Dena.
