Caring and Kind Animal Handler

Hi! I have been taking care of animals my entire life, minus a handful of years. I work from home and have a beautiful fenced yard for dogs. I have a cat, so boarding situations need to be discussed. I am open to offbeat situations and pets, so you are welcome to ask. If I take on a job, your pet becomes my responsibility to keep happy and safe. Working part-time from home gives me the flexibility to care for your pets as needed. I schedule carefully, taking into consideration the needs of your pet. I prefer to care for pets in my home, but depending on the situation, we can work it work it out. Because of my feline at home, I need to also consider his needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and generally keep the dog in eye sight proximity. I'll follow your requests, just let me know. I'll do my best to maintain an emotionally safe environment as well.

I couldn't be happier to write this review! Having to leave town 4 days prior to our dog's TPLO surgery (torn ACL), we were super nervous about who would watch Luna while we were gone. We needed someone that was comfortable giving meds and ensuring she took it easy - which Wilcox's backyard was perfect for Luna to just relax in! We were able to meet Wilcox in advance to leaving which we were completely reassured. Wilcox was a fabulous communicator and sent us tons of photos!! Highly recommend!

Wilcox was wonderful with Shiloh. They sent pictures each day with her in walks, playing catch and overall happy. Really pleasant to work with.

She was great with our Scottie. Great communication and she sent us pictures while he was there. I’d definitely recommend her for any of your pet watching needs. Huge yard for our boy to run around in. We’d definitely have her watch him again! Thanks again!

Wilcox was wonderful. They took great care of my rescue shepherd Eva. She has separation anxiety, but Wilcox did a great job of making sure Eva felt comfortable by following her normal routine. I didnt have to worry about Eva at all during my 5 day trip, especially since Wilcox sent me daily pictures of Eva having fun playing ball in the back yard.

Schedule

I am no longer working at home. My situation is now rather unique. It takes a special dog to manage at home with two cats while I am away at work. I am happy to discuss the possibility of working things out, if you think your pet will be content with being left for two long periods with an hour break in between. I will miss my clients for who this will not for. <3

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or activities that he, she or they prefers. I would especially like to know if there are any dietary restrictions because I have been know to give treats.
