I work full-time but I make sure to come home every day around lunchtime for midday feeding and potty breaks. I’m home right after work and usually spend weekends at home — unless I’m traveling with my furry friends 🤭

Safety, trust & environment

I have a gated yard and two fur babies to keep your family member engaged and safe. I do not crate dogs during the day, unless they are actively working on crate training but I do crate at night for safety purposes. Please be sure to bring your dog’s crate as most feel more comfortable in their own. While I do have crates available, I also prioritize your pet’s comfort. To ensure the health and safety of all dogs in my care, I require that all boarding dogs be up to date on vaccines and flea treatments, with vet records to corroborate this. This requirement helps keep everyone safe and ensures your dog returns home as healthy as they arrived.

Information Tekara L. would like to know about your pet

Some important things to know about your dog before boarding is if they have displayed separation anxiety before and how have they coped. IE will they bark excessively, claw their way out of the crate, have a stuffed animal that calms them, etc.

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs for walks and hikes, especially if they are high energy! Depending on the weather and the dog’s exercise level, we’ll either walk around the park or take a trip to Crowder’s mountain.

7 years puppy & senior dog care

Pet care experience

With 7 years of experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, I understand their unique needs and provide loving, attentive care. From frequent potty breaks to scheduled medication and everything else in between, I’m here to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I did discover that I have an allergy towards dogs that shed heavily, so boarding is limited to low- & non-shedding dogs.

Tekara has taken care of my dog for many years. Every since he was a puppy. My dog is now 14 years old and has several medical issues which requires him to be on a special diet as well as take several different medications a day. When watching my dog, Tekara has made sure she followed all of my instructions as it pertains to feeding and giving his medications. My dog is always happy to see Tekara and she always greets him with a smile and excitement. She does not hesitate to watch him when asked and for that I am truly grateful.

Tekara is amazing! She cared for my dog like he was her own during my 3-day vacation. I came home to him happy, well-fed, and relaxed. Her updates and attention to detail gave me complete peace of mind. Highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!
