I like BIG mutts & I cannot lie :)

Pet care experience

Hey there! I'm a full time paramedic with an undeniable addiction to snoot booping, and a passion for animals. I have 10+ years of experience with dog ownership and fostering, primarily GIANT breeds. I love dogs of ALL sizes and will love and care for yours like they're my own. I can provide drop in visits, walks, vet/doggy day care drop offs and pick ups, and play time, as well as boarding in my home. My husband is also available to help out with services in days I am unavailable, if that is something you're comfortable with. We have a 42 lb mix puppy who LOVES to meet new puppy friends, as well as a 45 lb pit mix who is happiest girl in the world. We also have 2 kitties who are very dog savvy. Other animals? No problem. Cats, fish, chickens, and small livestock are right up my alley. I can't promise anything about your houseplants, though. Puppy in need of frequent potty breaks? No problem. Rescue dog with anxiety issues? No problem. 180 lb English mastiff who scares the poop out of regular dog walkers? Bring on the slobber. I will tailor your dog's experience to their specific breed, age, and background. I'm not a certified trainer by any means but I have worked with multiple dogs through a giant breed rescue, and am happy to adopt your training policies to further your dog's needs. I do request to meet you and your dog prior to services so we can make sure it's a good fit.

Tess and family was wonderful! It was comforting knowing that I could leave there country where I couldn’t be reached and that all the animals as well as the house were taken care of. Will book again!
