Hello! My name is Jacki (she/her) and I have had dogs and cats in my life since as long as I can remember. As soon as I moved out on my own I adopted my first dog, and for the past 25 years have had a combination of dogs and cats living with me and my family. We currently have one 5 year old husky, 3 cats, a snake and 4 rescue mustangs! (They live at a boarding facility - although I wish we were somewhere all together :) We have been fostering with the apa for years and have experience with very young puppies (8 weeks) to taking care of senior friends. I am certified as a trauma-informed equine trainer which applies to all species- dogs, cats and humans! I am also a level 2 Reiki practitioner and and level 1 Let Animals Lead ™️ Reiki practitioner and take separate bookings for Reiki services while your pet stays with us. Please just ask when inquiring about booking and I am happy to share details. I also worked as a vet tech as a teenager and am extremely comfortable administering medications. I am an artist and work from home every day, so outside of me running errands, visiting our horses or going out with the kids for a few hours, we are generally always home. Our house backs up to tower grove park and we love spending time there. If your pup stays with us, he/she will get to go for walks with us - if that’s something you’re comfortable with. Otherwise we have a fully fenced yard for them to play in. Looking forward to hearing from you and seeing if our home is the right fit for your beloved furry family member. *^MUST be good with cats and kids** if you are unsure, unfortunately we are not willing to take chance and are not a good house for your pup. Thank you for your consideration though!
