Thank you for your support! At this time I’m not taking any new clients or overnight bookings. I do still have drop in availability for 2024 though!

I love that Confederate Woods Veterinary Hospital has these feliway towels! My cat Jenko is here for a check up and is always a nervous little guy (and very vocal about that). Once the towel is over him, he settles down!

The rainbow bridge got a little brighter this week and my heart got a lot heavier. I have had the absolute joy of watching Oddie for 6 years now. Even as health complications popped up, he was still the most easy going pup I’ve ever met. The early mornings, meds, and shots never phased him. I’ll miss taking him for rides in his wagon, the constant snuggles, and those sweet little ears that always melt my heart. I love you and miss you, Sweet Odes.

When I say I love your pets like my own, I truly mean it. Give your pets a snuggle tonight in Oddie’s honor.

I’m headed out to the Caribbean for the next week! What animal(s) do you think I’ll befriend on this trip?

10/15/2023

I love this idea! It’s so important for kids to know how to interact with animals!

We are excited to offer a FREE kids class to help them learn a little more about proper dog interaction! 🐶

More than 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs each year, at least half of those are children. Most dog bites affecting children are while interacting with familiar dogs! 😱

We want to help the children in our community have a better understanding of dog interaction to help prevent bites! And to help children that are fearful of dogs become more comfortable. This will be fun and informative. 🐾

Our first class will be limited to 15 kids from ages 5-10, and up to 2 adults with each child/family. It will be first come, first serve on registrations received. The registration form is below. ⬇️
All attendees must be registered!

If you miss registration for this class, keep an eye out for future classes 👀.

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐁𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞𝐲! 🥳
Buck is one of my daily dogs and it has been amazing to watch him grow! The first picture is from my first visit with him at only 4 months old. He finally grew into those ears!

Happy 𝟏𝟓ᵗʰ birthday to my girl, Sophie! If you leave your pet with me for their bday, you know I’m going to sing to them! 🥳
I’ve been watching this diva and her brother for 6 years now. In fact, they were my very first clients when I decided to branch out beyond just friends and family. Here’s to many more years of her trying to tell me what to do. 😂🥰

What I’m actually doing when you ask me to watch your cat.

Eddie doesn’t understand why I won’t share my coffee.
“The cup says my name, that means I should get some!”

The only thing more important to me than your trust is your pets’ trust!
Last week I had the joy of hanging with these 5 cats who make up the Starship Enterpaws. 🖖
They’re the sweetest crew of cats but Lore is known to be 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐲 shy. He spent my first few days of visits hiding behind the couch. But eventually I was able to win him over and by my last visits I had a snuggle buddy on my lap.
Those shy babies always give the best cuddles!

I have no shame in admitting I’m obsessed with all of your pets. 🥰

True story 🤷‍♀️ No shame 🤣

These temperatures have been “ruff” lately!
Buck and I like to beat the heat by playing in his splash pad. What’s your pet’s favorite way to keep cool?

Suki is just rolling with joy for this beautiful weather!

I’ll be the first to admit I was hesitant to use a prong collar. They look intimidating, but 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐞 they’re a fantastic tool when used properly!
I couldn’t even walk my rottie because she was my size and would pull like crazy. Once I trained her (and myself) on a prong collar, it was a total game changer!

Nothing but an early wake up call.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the pet moms!

As someone who frequently works with puppies, can confirm. But man do I love those little velociraptors! 😂🥰

Velocipuptor.

I always feel so safe when I’m watching Denali because I know he’ll protect me from anything… including his own reflection.
