Pet care experience

Home away from home for your dog

Hi! I bring over 12 years of experience in animal welfare, including working as an animal care technician, veterinary nurse and surgical nurse. I am also Fear Free Certified. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and medical needs, from energetic puppies to senior and medically complex animals. I’m comfortable administering medications, fluids, and providing any specialized care your pet may need. I will also be sending daily videos and pictures or your dog. Your pet will be welcomed into a calm, loving home environment and it is truly a home away from home. We only host one family at a time to ensure each pet receives personalized attention and a low-stress experience. I enjoy spending time at home, and I live in a peaceful neighborhood where we can go for long walks; therefore, I will make sure your dog is never alone for more than 4 hours a day while staying with me, so they will always have company, supervision, and care. While I am at work, my husband Kirklyn, a retired first responder and nurse, will take over for any care needed at the time. We are a family that genuinely loves animals. I’ve fostered kittens and puppies and helped friends with their animals for years. I treat every dog like part of my own family. My dog, Bingo (4year old, neutered shih-tzu) is very friendly, playful, with positive energy, and enjoys the company of other dogs, making it easy for new pets to feel comfortable and at ease. If you’re looking for a safe, loving, attentive, and experienced home for your pet, I’d love to help. Hablo Espanol!

My pets have always been a priority in my life and finding people that take care of them the same way I do is no easy task. There are only a handful of people whom I fully trust to take care of my pets and Lua & Kirk are among those people. They have taken care of my dog and they treat him with love, respect, and kindness. They have a great sense of responsibility! My dog feels very comfortable with them and that's something I truly value. Thank you very much Lua & Kirk!! We need more people like you.

I have known Lua almost for 9 years and she is a wonderful person that really cares about animals. She has experience working with dogs and cats of all sizes as she has been working in an animal shelter. She is experienced also with animals that have medical conditions and knows how to provide care and medication to them. Lua has also fostered animals and does a great job. I will recommend Lua to take care of your furry family members. She is amazing.

Schedule

I work in the animal welfare sector from Monday through Friday, occasionally working from home. I am close to home anyways; my job is 20 min away from home. Realistically, the majority of the time your pup will have company. Husband is a retired firefighter-paramedic and nurse and he is home all the time. Our child has always lived with animals, and he is a very kind, 9-year-old animal lover who will always be supervised while animals are present. We also have cameras in the house and can monitor the pups while not home.

Your dog will be part of our family, they will sleep, play, lay down to watch TV with us, will be free roaming in the house (however. I can implement any crate routines as requested per owner) and will be taken out for walks on a leash 4 times a day. I will follow all your feeding and care instructions, including medications. I will be sending you videos and photos daily. Our dog, Bingo, is dog and cat friendly. He loves everyone, actually. We can do a dog meet if needed. Your dog will be part of our family while they stay with us!
