Fast, Friendly, Tail-waggin Service

I have had the privilege of owning and caring for a variety of animals in my home since I was about 10 years old. I was also a veterinarian technician for several years in my twenties specializing in the ICU department of care, as well as offering clients in home pet care and house sitting services. I adore animals of all shapes, sizes and varieties as well as have experience with a vast array of species including small animals and exotics. I also have extensive hands-on experience with special needs pets including, but not limited to, injectable medications, fluid therapies, behavior issues, grooming, and much much more, just ask!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a service dog that is at my side at all hours of the day and night. She is very gentle, dog (both small and large) and people friendly, as well as good around cats and other animals. She is highly trained and intelligent, being around her company tends to serve as a good example for other dogs and dogs do.learn by social learning, or by monkey see, monkey do behavior, so just being in my and Ms.Cheerio's company should prove to be beneficial all around. I have a partially fenced in back yard area with a concrete car pad for easy clean up and it offers plenty of room to run and play area as well as a 18 ft chain tie up in the front yard where it is nice and grassy for a more chill and relaxing outdoor experience. Inside I offer a variety of both cat and dog toys, including the all time favorite laser pointer to keep your fur babies plenty occupied. I also have a large dog kennel if needed to crate or segregate anyone if kenneling becomes necessary. Please feel free to pack a couple (no more than 5) toys or bones from home to make them more comfortable and if they will l be with me.thru feeding times, please be sure to include your pers regular feeding instructions as well as their food and bowls!

Pets

A typical day

My pets absolutely go bonkers for chasing after the laser pointer until they literally can't take it anymore! They go nutty for it as soon as I take it out, sometime my dog just hears the sound of me grabbing or moving the pointer and she jumps to attention...! Lol! I also just obtained an automated and randomized laser pointer I can set up in the middle of the room to bust boredom as well! I have many, many, many, dog and cat toys of a large array of types and sizes catering to each individual pets' inclinations or attraction to any item. I love playing fetch and have a few fetch balls, hollowed out, thick, tough, rubber balls, that are sturdy and safe for large dogs and their intensive gnawing and insane jaw power! I try to add new and enriching toys as often as possible, especially home made ones.

Please let me know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs of any sorts. This includes health concerns, behavioral issues, territorial issues, anxieties, any and everything one could think of that would make looking after or spending time with your fur-bqby easier and more enriching for the both of us. I was a veterinarian technician for many years specializing in the ICU - post-surgical department, so I am quite experienced in administering medications of any kind from oral types like pills, capsules, or liquids all the way to injectable meds or even subcutaneous fluid therapy for those dealing with specialized health issues such as renal failure. Like I said before, just let me know,my ears and heart are wide open and waiting to hear from you! Call/ book an appointment with me --- TODAY!!!
