Dog Boarding in Tira, TX

“I could not express how much I appreciate I am to have found Emma. Sasha is very wary of strangers and needs time to adjust to new settings and people. Emma made sure Sasha and I felt comfortable before her 4 day stay. Updates/pics were sent and my baby was real taken care of. Definitely highly recommend. Thank you Emma!”

“This was an excellent experience for me and my girls! Joseph and Alia were very professional, friendly and kind. Bella and Goldie were well taken care of. It feels good to know someone who is going to be loving and take care of them just like I do. I totally plan on using South Paws again.”

“Tegan was AMAZING! She kept us up to date with messages and pictures the entire time. She was able to administer my cat oral medication and accommodated the need for her cat and our animals to be separated if needed. My fiance and I are already talking about booking her again.”

About: Over the years, I’ve worked with various pets. From dogs and cats to small mammals and exotic animals- giving me a well-rounded understanding of different species and their needs. I am fresh out of the military and currently enrolled in pre-veterinary medicine courses in college. I am living on a 10 acre farm with plenty of room to run and play for any size dogs. Currently I am enrolled in college courses for pre-veterinary medicine but I am only gone 1-3 hours a day. The rest of my time is spent at home with my animals giving me all the time in the world to focus on the needs of each pup. I have my own fur babies who are treated as such. My home is their home in every single way. I focus heavily on providing nutritious high quality food and constant access to clean water as well as make sure every day my dogs are given ample exercise and mental stimulation through out the day to suit each of them and their different personalities. I live on a completely fenced 10 acre farm with a fenced in portion for dogs only. A big priority is to always make sure my home is a safe, clean, comfortable and stress free haven.

About: I have been around animals since I was a little girl and absolutely love taking care of them. I currently have a 7 year old cat and 3 German Shepherds, Diesel who is 13, Harley who is 5, and Quinn who is 4. They are incredibly sweet and loving and have truly made me learn the upmost responsibility of animals. I also was a massage therapist for 8 years and use to massage some elderly pets with hip issues. My boyfriend and I live on 10 acres of land and I wanted to take the opportunity to make it a loving and open environment for dogs to run and have fun instead of sitting in their crates at home. I am currently in the process of making sure it's safe and secure before I put out boarding, but for now I am open for drop ins and dog walking! I am an entertainer and student whom works from home who has plenty of time to take care of your babies when you are busy. Just let me know :) I luckily have an incredibly flexible schedule as I primarily do Rover, groceries deliveries for Walmart, and take courses and tests to gain experience in my cybersecurity field. I am my own boss and an able to adjust things in order to work with other's schedule. Taking care of animals is all about making sure THEY are comfortable first, as well as you that I will be with them. These animals are your family and I want you to be just as comfortable as they are. In reality, I tend to let the animals run the course until they truly trust me. I don't like using force with animal and truly treat them like little children/babies who are full of so much potential. My animals are trained so I understand the disciplinary course, but when it comes to care for them? The focus is to make sure they are happy, comfortable, have everything they need, and are relaxed. That is my upmost focus.

“After two years of constant environmental changes , I was quite anxious about introducing someone new to my fur babies. But, we had a death in the family and only a few days to find a suitable boarder. Ms Brenda was willing to help with our needs. She did a video meet and greet with us, and helped to ease my anxiety. She kept communication up to and during their stay. I received an abundance of pics and videos that clearly showed my dogs were healthy and happy. I will add that Ms Brenda assures that each family’s pets are given the appropriate level of care and attention because she does not double book. And her property (inside and out) caters to a puppy paradise! I know my fur babies were loved as if they were her own. Count me as a new lifelong client!”

About: Since I was 13 we have had dogs and animals in our home. I’ve trained them, walked them, fed them, and snuggled with them. I’ve also volunteered at the humane society walking dogs that spent their time there. I am currently doing school in the summer but if you contact me with times I can see if it works with my schedule! :) I currently rent a home and take care of my two pups there. I usually do stop in visits at my clients home and just take care of the animal in the way it is requested!

“Great place to board my Aussie! Tons of room to run and friends for him to play with. Matt is great and communicated throughout the stay with updates. Would highly recommend Matt and I am definitely planning to board with him in the future!”

“Huckleberry had a great time with Elena and her family! He got plenty of exercise running around the ranch, and plenty of love. He came home in good spirits, I could tell he was well cared for while I was away.”

About: I used to take care and breed dogs with my family when I was younger. Then I began watching friends and families dogs as I got older. I love all animals but especially dogs. I am a junior here at Oklahoma State studying to become a veterinarian. I also have two dogs of my own. Snoopy is a bernidoodle and Mocha is a mutt. They are both rescue dogs. I have two dogs of my own as previously mentioned and I am in college. However, my dogs and I go to the park at least once a day and we go on walks in the morning. In between classes I come home to let them potty and they free roam with feed and water when I am gone. My dogs get baths once or twice a week. They free roam with food and eat when they please. They have plenty of toys to play with and I have two crates here in case I need to crate them.

About: I have experience with taking care of any pets I worked with my local animals shelter for 4 years and I still try to help and baby sit any animal. I always make sure they have everything that they could need and want and spend time with them so they are not lonely or stressed. I do baby them and treat them as if they were my own fur baby. I have worked many different animals and temperaments so I understand their moods pretty well. I also think it is good to always have duo or facetime available for the pet to see the owner or hear their voice and pictures are always sent along g with updates on how the pet seems to be adjusting.
