PETS@HOME Drop By Service

Pet care experience

If your like me, I have a variety of pets that live in my household and a few backyard farm type pets as well, like my flock of 10 chickens. Its been my experience, difficult to find someone willing to care for both types of pets while I'm away. And that is why my primary pet service is for "drop ins" to your home, to meet the needs of people who have a variety of pets that need a daily source of care. My animal care background begins with the natural love of all animals, but I also have many years as a pet owner, groomer, and licensed kennel owner; and pet parent of many hoofed or feathered pets as well. I know the difficulties at finding someone to just check up and provide basic needs in my home for both kinds of pets. And since many others have backyard farm pets; be it a goat or chickens as part of their pet household- I will provide this service to meet those diverse needs. Household pets have greater needs for attention during the drop in service and I will provide them with a minimum of 30 minutes of "all about them" time, and I will ensure your household pets and your backyard farm pets have food and water on a daily basis while checking on their well being. I will keep you up-to-date each day you are away. I also offer puppy daycare. I find that it helps both the new puppy and its owner get through the "terrible chews and Phews" of these babies new to living in a home. I assist you as the pet parent by encouraging and teaching your puppy potty training, basic commands, and socialization. My back yard is fully block fenced and I have a puppy kennel playpen with artificial grass for one- on -one sessions and treats with them. I utilize a doggy door which puppies love to use it in play. I only accept two puppies at a time, daily. My Blue Healer "Daisy" is great assistance in puppy play time, she loves, protects, and plays with every puppy as if it were her own. I would love to do a "Meet & Greet" at your home to discuss the special needs of your pets, there's no fee or obligation, its my pleasure to meet you and your pets.

It's been a relief from worry having Julie come by while I was in the hospital for a long time and then again when I went to Kansas to visit my family to do drop in visits with my cats. She is great with animals and very dependable. My cats adore her and had all the comforts they are use to while I was away.
