Wrapping up bookings this week before leaving, and I couldn’t resist a snapshot of the cutest little derpy, named Gimley. 💙

Friends. Jake and I have some news!

I will unfortunately be closing up shop for the New Bern area on July 22. I am in the process of moving to another part of the state.

If you have already spoken with me, and have a date set, you’re good! I will still be taking care of those fur babies.

Between August 1 and when I close on my house, I will be available for a small amount of drop-in visits only.

In the future, I will be reopening at my new location, but as my puppies and I transition, I will be closed.

I truly appreciate everyone’s support as I’ve started this venture. It has been amazing, and I can’t wait to further this little business once I get more settled.

Hey that’s not a dog!

Enjoying some time in Hawaii and taking in all the local wildlife. I will be back soon to help with your dog and cat sitting needs!

In the meantime check out this seas turtle!

While my little family is enjoying our time away, I’m getting to spend more time with other 4-legged babies!

Check out these Charlais heifers and yearlings! That bull calf front and center is going to be a big guy!

06/02/2022

Hey wait! That’s not a dog!

My pups and I are still out of town, and I got the chance to play with these week-old piglets!

Family road trip!

Myself and my pups are on a mini vacation for the week!

05/20/2022

Hey guess what! Sometimes, with the owner’s permission, I’ll bring their pup with me to Morgan’s Pub in Havelock. This bar is super dog-friendly, and it gives the pups a break from my dogs at home if they’re used to being a single dog.

This is Dak, and he hasn’t had much interaction with dogs before boarding with me. He’s doing awesome, and learning to play! He came with me today because he loves people and car rides!

I don’t take the dogs out of my house without owner permission, but if you board with me and want to let them explore a bit just let me know!

05/04/2022

Hey y’all! I’ve updated my pricing guide.

Now services are expanded to include doggy day-care and cat drop-ins!*

Please note: for the time being, day care is limited to weekends and the days I’m not in the office.

Additionally, there is a medication charge for cats; this is only because if the cat likes to hide it can be very difficult for me to administer.

*Cat services are available for drop-in only. My dogs do not get along with cats*

Good morning from Honey Bun!

Honey Bun was a client, but also available as she was the last in a litter. My sister fell in love and adopted her. Honey will be with me until my sister can come get her.

Making plans for Memorial Day weekend that requires dog care? Don’t wait! Right now I have no bookings, but that will go quickly! Reach out early for your best chance of boarding with me!

Thank you!

Friends! These two are still urgently looking for a new home. I will be keeping them coming up and will have them out with me in the evenings so anyone can meet them.

They are super duper sweet and well-behaved boys! Please help me find them a home (together!)

Friends. I have had a request to help rehome these sweet boys. The owner is experiencing health issues that is affecting the attention they feel these boys need. I have dogsat for them a few times. These two are absolutely great dogs. Very sweet and well behaved. They are bonded and will NOT be separated.

If you or anyone you know has room in your home for Sam and Snoopy, please message me. I will be vetting any interested party to ensure they go to a good home.

Sam and Snoopy will come with food, bed, blankets, and toys they’ve had since they were pups.

Thank you!

People often ask me how boarding works.

They don’t want to take their pups to a kennel to basically sit in a cage all day with just a bit of playtime.

If this photo doesn’t explain the difference between my boarding and a kennel I don’t know what will!

This is one of my clients, Ava, who felt the need to help me while I was getting ready to go.

When your pups comes here, provided there’s no aggression issues, they are out with mine doing all the playing and laying around. Unless they kennel when you’re gone normally, they get their own space (like a bedroom) to hang out in when I’m not here.

Feedings are always done separate. I want to make sure that all dogs feel comfortable to eat.

If there is some aggression to my pups, that’s okay! I rotate dogs in and out so they all get to spend time out with me and playing or lounging around in their ‘bedroom.’ This is why meet and greets are so important!

Let me know if I can help your pup have a mini vacation while you’re away!

Feeding time!

Everyone, including my dogs, eat separately of each other, but man doling the food out is chaotic 😂😂

04/27/2022

Guess what y’all! Sweet Honey Bun has been adopted! Thanks to the help from all of you.

Now, let’s help out Sam and Snoopy. Their owner’s health is rapidly declining, and the rehoming need has become incredibly urgent. Let’s spread the word and find these boys another loving home.

Please reach out with any questions!

And they call it puppy love 💙💙💙

This sweet girl is staying with me this week, but is also available! She’s 4 months old and the last of her litter. Please contact me if you’re interested.

Shameless plus for this tool. This is one of my friends pups I’m watching this weekend, Artio. I noticed that her her brother were shedding pretty bad, and I knew where the brushes were. This is a second pass just for the video, and it’s still pulling out tons of hair!

I’m definitely going to invest in one or two 😂

Picture of the brush in the comments!

Bailee sending her Sunday morning greetings!

Huge weekend here at TuLuJa! Between boarders and drop-ins I have 5 clients totaling 7 dogs! (Plus my own three). It may not seem like a lot, but as a one man show, that’s crazy!

I want to thank everyone who has trusted me so far with their fur babies. It means the world to me.

If you need me this weekend I might be drowning in dog hair and slobbery kisses 😂

04/18/2022

Sometimes even treats don’t work to capture everyone’s attention. That or momma here is too slow for their patience 😂.

Hey guess what! You’d never know, but one of these dogs has allergies and can only have certain treats and food. That’s okay! I make sure her treats, food, and bowl stay safe from cross-contamination even while she gets to enjoy socializing with the others!

We’re trying out new things here! Since my couches are stored while I’m doing the floors, I bought a raised bed to see how the pups like it. Based on their reaction I’ll be getting more!

I always make sure your pups have somewhere soft to lay. They are allowed on the furniture over here.

Jake-seats taken

Bosun-that’s okay, I’ll just politely remove you by the skin on your cheek

These two hit it off instantly when Bosun was dropped off yesterday. It’s wonderful because Jake will sleep soundly again tonight 😂😂

03/23/2022

Jake, my youngest, creeping on me this morning because he wanted breakfast 😂

This weekend I have clients again! I can’t wait to meet more fur babies!

03/20/2022

It’s been quiet around here lately! I’ve had two back to back weekend trips, so I haven’t been able to take many clients these past couple weeks. I’m back in town tomorrow! If you have a trip planned yourself, and need care for your fur babies let me know!

Picture is of Rainbow River in Dennellon, FL where I finished up my open water diver certification this weekend!

All the neck scratches and cuddles for Belle and Blaze this morning!

03/06/2022

Mason letting me know that it’s time to get up and have breakfast!

Busy weekend here, but we’re enjoying all the muddy paws and play.

03/04/2022

I don’t recommend sunbathing here! All of the clientele are super furry, refuse to wear clothes, don’t understand personal space, and can’t stop themselves from licking you! 😂

Beautiful afternoon to hang out outside with the pups and soak up a little sun 💙

03/02/2022

Play is encouraged here!

Meet Hercules. (Also starting my yellow lab Jake). Hercules is staying with us for a week. He love my pups, and these two play constantly.

Playtime and socializing between dogs is always supervised. I don’t leave client dogs with mine while I’m out of the house or sleeping.

Also! If your dog seems nervous or upset around my dogs they get their own space (usually my bedroom) so they can relax while staying out of a kennel.

Not necessarily a dog post, but an update on making my home more doggy friendly! New waterproof flooring going down today!

02/23/2022

Just a fun video of my two boys begging to go outside.

Still working on my house and still taking appointments for boarding! These two want some new play mates!
