2. Rylie H.
About: Hello! I’ve grown up around animals of all species. My experiences through 4-H, my family, and friends have provided the opportunities needed for me to become a responsible handler. I have experience caring for brachycephalic, disabled, and geriatric dogs of all sizes. So I am competent in providing basic first aid, bandaging, and administering basic medication. I personally own two australian shepherds so high energy working breeds are not foreign to me, just let me know your dog’s favorite way to play! My experience with cats is more limited as those I have cared for in the past were fairly low maintenance. However, I am familiar with feline body language and have some experience assisting others in swaddling as a restraint for medication. I also have extensive experience caring for horses and swine, if you are in need of livestock care. I am a full time student at TVCC. My availability is restricted to MWFSS. I am free from 10am-4pm and 7pm-10pm except for class on weekdays from 1:00pm to 2:00pm. I take your pet’s safety very seriously. I know what it’s like to have escape artists and reactive pets. You can trust me to be cautious, prepared, and thorough. I always carry pepper spray on my walks and avoid other pets just in case. I am unfortunately well practiced in separating dog fights should the scenario occur.


3. Kety F.

“Kety is wonderful! I would definitely recommend her for taking care of your pets. She handled my three dogs well. They were happy to see her each day and she took them on walks and played with them during her visits. She sent photos and assured me that the dogs were doing fine. I was very worried about leaving them for six nights. She was in contact with me each day to let me know what she was doing which really set my mind at ease. I am hopeful that she would be willing to do this again for me in the future!”

16. Nicole "Nikki" R.

“We met with Nicki prior to today's check-in. She was professional, friendly, and Zoey immediately took a liking to her so we knew she was a good fit for all of us! Nicki followed all of our instructions down to the very last detail. She communicated from the start of the check-in visit to the very end. She sent a couple of pictures and we could tell Zoey was happy and being loved on! Nicki even brought in a heavy box that had been delivered and this went above and beyond our expectations.
