17. Tierra J.
“Tierra is such a beautiful spirit and dogs are automatically drawn to her. I've seen it! Dogs will just walk up to her while with their owners as if they know her already. She's friendly, understanding, and nurturing. Tierra will treat your dog as if it were her own. If she could, I believe she would take care of any dog in need as being around dogs seems to be her happy place. Her empathic nature is why I trust my baby, Snowy, to be in her care. Snowy gets along great with Usnavi and I feel at ease knowing he’s in the best hands. You can't go wrong with choosing Tierra for your boarding and walking needs.”

I conduct a thorough walk-through of their home to identify any potential hazards and make adjustments as needed. I also establish a routine that includes regular exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep pets happy and engaged. Building trust is crucial, so I communicate openly with pet owners about their pets’ needs and any concerns that arise. I make sure to maintain a clean and comfortable space, providing plenty of fresh water and a cozy spot for rest. Ultimately, my goal is to create a safe, loving environment where pets can thrive.
