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!

Pet care experience

Owned and operated a very successful pet care business in the Wake Forest area for the past ten years, Take A Break Pet Care (check out my FB page, it is still up). Currently, I am the Assistant Manager for Bone-A-Fide Pet Care based in Raleigh, NC. I take care of the administration side of the business. I work remotely and am home most of the time. I have my degree in Animal Behavior and Animal Training from Moorpark College's Exotic Animal Training and Management Program. After graduation, I trained animals for the entertainment industry in Los Angeles for years.

Kerri and her family took such good care of my dog Ollie. He came back home a happy boy! Kerri sent me daily pictures and kept me informed on Ollie’s routine and activities. I highly recommend Kerri and her family.
