Grandma's Critter Lovin PET Service

Pet care experience

Nothing is better than a Grandma's love. I love and enjoy all animals. I am a country girl, raised around just about every kind of fur baby and feathered baby there is. I lost my Boxer girl pup just last year after 11 wonderful years. I am Grandma to 9 beautiful fur babies, and care for them when needed, and I am ready to love on your pups and kitties. I raised my children on a small ranch with just about every animal thinkable.

This is the second time Karen has watched my senior dog in my home. She is such a kind person and took great care of my baby. Piper even did “zoomies” when she saw her. Karen sent videos and text messages to keep me informed. Don’t hesitate to book Karen, your fur baby will be in great hands!

Karen took such great care of Charlie and Leo! You can tell immediately how much Karen loves animals when you first meet her. She is very interested in getting to know the dogs personalities and keeping them as much in their routine as possible. She sent many pictures and videos to keep me updated, which always makes me happy. I felt very comfortable leaving them with Karen and knew they were in good hands!

Karen did an amazing job watching my Piper and grand doggie Sadie. She kept me informed with text messages and videos. It made my vacation so much more relaxing knowing my doggies were in great care. Already booked Karen for my next trip!

Information Karen R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your fur baby has any special needs, medication, or behavior habits I can expect. Be sure to bring a favorite toy or blanket to help your fur baby, while away from home. Bring plenty of food, preferably in individual servings, if your pup runs out, there is a $4 charge per meal. I have dry dog food for them should we run out.

Boarding: All overnight picks ups must be completed by 10 am, unless other arrangements agreed, there is a $25 late pick up fee.

Nothing better than a Grandma’s lovin.

A typical day

Lots of fun activities are always planned to help dogs physically and mentally. All overnight boardings have a 15 minute courteous walk in the early morning, before it gets too hot. With summer coming, the weather is getting hotter, my home is air conditioned, non-smoking, and Pups are never left outside. I have a lot of toys to chew and play with, in a Kennel Free home. Additional Walking time may be booked for a discounted Walking rate. Boarding: It is very important that Drop offs must be done during time agreed upon at booking. There is a $25 late drop off fee and late pick up. Drop offs after 8 pm will not be accepted. Boarding: All overnight picks ups must be by 10:00 am, unless otherwise agreed upon.

I'm retired, and have plenty of time to share with your fur babies. I am all about quality time, not quantity. If your Fur Pup is socially challenged, shy, being with a lot of dogs when boarding is challenging, this Grandma can help. When boarding at my place, I now offer private (one family at a time) boarding. I am available most days of the week. Drop ins are ok, but a 24 hour notice is preferred.
