Pet care experience

Dog Mom 🐶.

I grew up on a farm and have had dogs my entire life. We currently have 4 dogs..a 16 year old Yorkie, 5 year old coonhound, 3 year old beagle/lab mix and 5 year old dachshund/chihuahua mix. We also foster for a local rescue and usually have 1-3 foster hounds. All of our dogs have been trained by me. I’m also skilled in giving medicine (eye, ear & oral), feeding tubes and subcutaneous fluids. We often petsit for family and friends and I have volunteered at animal shelters in the past. Our dogs run our house…LOL. When we are away, the seniors have free rein while the younger ones and fosters are crated. Everyone is fed separately due to prescription diets and our hound’s desire to eat everyone’s food so demanding feeding schedules are second nature. We also have 2 plus fosters that require daily medications so giving medication isn’t an issue…I know every trick!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Since 2 of my own are/were escape artists, I’m paranoid about fences and gates. I always stay outside when your pets are outdoors. I double check doors/gates to make sure they are closed. I ensure collars/harnesses are properly tightened before walks.

Kay was amazing as always. She’s reliable and I always know my fur baby is being taken care of. The communication is great and she always sends pictures. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a great pet sitter.

We could not have been happier with Kay and how she cared for our boys. She was so communicative and gave us such peace of mind. A perfect experience!!

Another great experience with Kay! She really helped us out with some extra attention to our home while we were away. Happy Kitties as usual. Thanks again!
