Dog/Cat lover with vet experience
Pet care experience
I started working with animals cleaning kennels when I was 14. I became a vet tech/assistant at 16 and became a certified vet tech at 18. Since leaving the business at the age of 20, I have cared for many of my own dogs and cats over the years and would love to help families out taking care of their pets when in need. I am calm, patient, loving and follow directions to a tee when dealing with animals. We currently have a kid and other animal friendly dog and cat. “Bear” is a 140lb Bernese Mountain Dog and “Tobias” is a Maine coon. Both are great with all animals of any size. I also have a fenced in yard with artificial turf. Plenty of room to run, play, and relax in shade. Our house is completely open to the animals as well. Our animals are indoor pets.
Reviews
Travis was awesome with King during our vacation. He was very nervous being away from me for the day and they did a great job of making sure he was comfortable. Will definitely use again when im in the area
Travis was amazing! Very kind and welcoming when we dropped off and picked up our dog. He kept us posted and asked questions. Definitely recommend!
Travis was phenomenal. This was our first time leaving our 8 month old chow and we were very nervous about leaving him alone in a new environment. Travis made us feel super safe and comfortable and made sure we were at ease at all times. He sent us routine updates which included pictures and videos to make us feel better and to help with the separation anxiety that we were experiencing. He truly welcomed our dog as a part of his home/family and let him be, which made all the difference since our puppy is a bit on the timid side. We are so happy and grateful to have met Travis and would recommend him to anyone who wants to leave their pup in safe hands. He is the best, 5stars 😊
Travis was wonderful watching our dog Red - we had her boarded with him for 10 days. His setup is lovely with a huge yard ready for play with the other dogs he sits. He did a great job of making us feel comfortable for our first dropoff, keeping us updated with pics and videos

I have a fenced in yard with over 1000 square feet of artificial grass. I have a gentle giant dog (140lb Bernese Mountain Dog) that does not have an aggressive bone in his body. He grew up playing with dogs of all sizes and our cat. He is great with other dogs. I live across the street from a large park with trails and a grass field (sycamore park). I have a wife and child that love animals. We have watched friends dogs and fostered puppies many times. Lots of love and play time at our house.
