Information Kerri R. would like to know about your pet

I have worked in animal hospitals, been responsible for overseeing vet care for a collection of over 200 animals, and have given almost every kind of medication available to pets, administered any way.

A typical day

Our cherished visitors will play outside and inside with our playful dogs, throughout the day, if that's their thing. If they aren't very playful, they can explore the yard, sunbathe chew on bones, get lots of love!

Leaving our Ollie with Kerri for the 7 days we were out of town was the BEST decision we could have possibly made. She is super easy to communicate with. She has studied animal behaviors so I knew that no matter how many dogs she had (it was the 4th of July week-busy!) she would make the right decisions with how to handle our girl. She would send pictures and videos so we could see our girl. Kerri is very professional yet extremely easy to talk to and oh so friendly. Just use her-she’s the best. We didn’t know if Ollie would want to come back home to us bc she had so much fun at Kerri’s! Ha!

Kerri was awesome to work with. I normally keep my dogs in my home when we go out of town and I had my reservations about taking them out of their normal environment. But I will say going to Kerri's house was a great experience for my fur babies. She was very knowledgeable about my dogs personalities during the meet and greet and welcomed them in her home with lots of love. She communicated with me daily and sent tons of pictures to ensure me that my babies were having a great time. I truly appreciate all her hard work and dedication to making them feel like her own fur babies. I would highly recommend Kerri to anyone who needs a safe and loving home for their babies. I will definitely use her again.
