Pet care experience

LIKE FAMILY! To me they are.

As a daughter, mother and grandmother, I have taken care of family and pets most of my adult life. As an employee of two different school districts, I have worked with special needs students. And now as a "Retiree", I have even more time and energy to continue my natural inclination to nurture. I babysit my son's German Shepherd frequently and I have helped my many neighbors with their pets and critters as well. I am a Christian who is grateful for my family, health and all that I have been blessed with.

We are so fortunate to have found Kerry. She was amazing with our Cleo. We have left our Cleo (mini schnauzer, almost 10) in boarding facilities after we moved away from family (where she would have stayed in the past) and we could tell that it wasn't a fit for her. As soon as we met Kerry, right from the start, we could see the love she has for what she does in caring for animals. We were away for 3 weeks and Cleo came back to us happy and healthy. Kerry took such good care of her. We would receive regular updates, which means a lot when travelling for long periods of time, of Cleo and how she was doing. We are incredibly happy that we have Kerry to lean on when we need someone took look after our Cleo. I would give 100 stars if I could!

I would highly recommend Kerry! Excellent communication and up to date pics for the entire trip. Could not have asked for anything more in a sitter. Will definitely be booking soon for our next trip.

We feel so fortunate to have found Kerry to take care of our Rudy. After the meet and greet we knew that Rudy would taken care of with love. Kerry sent pictures to keep us updated on the days events. When he came home we could tell that he was showered with love and good care!🐾❤️

Kerry was exceptional! She provided wonderful care for our dog, Oliver & treated him like her own. It is so comforting when you are away to know that your pet is being pampered. Kerry provided daily updates with photographs. We would not hesitate to recommend Kerry.

Kerry took amazing care of our dog. She is quick to respond to messages and give updates. I appreciated her flexibility when it came to dropping off and picking up. She added some chicken broth and pumpkin to improve my dog’s food as he can sometimes be a picky eater. I would not hesitate to leave my dog with her again.

Kerry did a fantastic job: she took great care of our dog, and also sent us updates of him. She is a very nice and responsible person, and we will not hesitate to use her pet sitting services again. We highly recommend her.

Schedule

I am now retired so I have even more time to play with, walk, hug and snuggle with my pet. When I am not substituting for local schools, I would love to have the additional companionship of another pet. I care deeply about dogs and really do consider them family.

Safety, trust & environment

My personal pet, Aiva, a small female, is walked every day. She receives the best Vet care and diet (I do spoil her) She is a rescue and has been such a blessing. I have only boarded her one time and did not like how it affected her and so I do understand how important a loving, nurturing, and natural home-like environment is.

A typical day

I love to play tug-of-war or fetch with the toys owners will send. No matter what type of walk your pet desires, I will adjust. If they like to go slow, explore every bush, and smell absolutely everything, that is what we will do. If they are adventurers and want to pick up the pace, let's go !
