Pet care experience

30 years experience!

Let a Pet Care Specialist with decades of experience come to you.... (Currently, I am not doing pm visits) I am with Kanine Krewe Nola. See more reviews on Facebook and Thumbtack. This is not a side hustle but sole job. Whether House Sitting, Pet Sitting, Drop Ins or Dog Walking, I will care for your pets of all shapes, sizes, attitudes, and breeds. I treat each pet as an individual and do not believe any breed is inherently aggressive. Your pet will have the best care with the exercise, social interaction, and personal attention they crave. Your dog will enjoy motivating and fun customized walking routes & play time. Your pets will be treated exactly as my own dogs! With each visit, your pets will get to know me, the same friendly person, who will make sure there is plenty of food and water, and administer medication, if required. After each walk, we’ll also make sure your dog’s paws are wiped clean to avoid any tracking in your home. Your pets' well-being is my top priority. I am an experienced large dogs and bully breed foster/sitter. I have a training background & I am trained in basic vetting. I have fostered & volunteered for Secondhand Hounds, MARS, Ruff Start, MN Pit Bull Rescue and more.. I volunteer for Villalobos Rescue Center, LASPCA & Animal Rescue New Orleans as well. Please see my references. I can look in on cats too! I offer flexible package rates for multiple days. Just message me...

Was consistent and reliable in caring for my cats while we were on a long trip. My only comment is that unfortunately my cats throw up a bit when they’re stressed and a lot of that was left uncleaned, but I wasn’t super clear that I wanted to have that cleaned up, so it is partly on me.

Kelly was great with Bruce. He had an accident in his kennel and she cleaned it without me asking. Definitely recommend her
