Experienced dog caretaker w/love

Pet care experience

Animals are my absolute number 1 passion!!!🐾❤️ Animals and mother nature are the best creations on earth!. Animals are truly angels sent from above. They deserve nothing but love, compassion, companionship, extra cuddles, patience, and all the kisses in the world! I've had dogs my entire life, ever since I was a child. Every dog I've had throughout my life, has always been rescues. I've also had other types of critters aswell. Turtles, Guinea pigs, hamsters, and cats. I currently have 2 rescue mix breeds. A Boston terrier/Rat terrier mix name Smoreo. I adopted her from Nashville humane. She'll be 9 on October 8th. I also have a Pekanese/chihuahua mix name Darlin. She will be 7 December 5th. She came from a hoarding case in Virginia. Where she lived in a hoarding house with 60 other dogs. She had never been outside, didn't know how to walk on a leash or be a normal dog. She also had mange. She is a happy and spoiled girl now! I've been professionally working in the animal care field consistently for the past 7 yrs now. I've worked with all types of breeds. From big dogs like Masstiffs, Pitbulls, Great Danes, to little rat terriers,pugs, and chihuahuas. I understand that every dog is different and they each have there own personalities and fears. I've worked at a vets office where I was a kennel tech. I took care of the dogs being boarded. We held up to 100 dogs. I also assisted vet techs on restraining of dogs and cats during exams. Aswell as I took care of dogs during doggy daycare. I also gave baths, nail trims, and gave anal gland expressions. I also worked at 2 dog rescues. Where we took in horrible neglect cases and hoarding situations. I've worked with puppies, adult dogs, seniors, dogs with mobility issues, deaf, blind, and aggressive dogs. I understand that some dogs have separation anxiety from there parents and need extra love, comfort, encouragement, and kisses. Animals are my whole world. They make me complete. I will spoil your fur kid/kids with all the love, cuddles, kisses, back scratches, belly rubs, play time, bringing them on long walks. ANIMAL KISSES ARE THE BEST!! In addition to professionally working with animals for 7 yrs, I've also done dog sitting and cat sitting before I started working in the animal care field aswell. I look forward to taking great care of your fur babies. They will never be lonely with me. You don't want to pass up this great animal lover sitter. I'd also like to include that one if the questions on here asks (do you know dog first aid and/or CPR. I clicked yes, because I do know knkw dog first aid. Once you click "yes". It automatically says that I'm saying u know dog CPR. I just want to be clear on that. I do however plan to very soon take dog CPR classes and get my certificate.

KJ is the dog whisperer. Moments into the Meet and Greet, my most skittish pup jumped up beside her and fell asleep. Communication was great leading up to and during my trip. KJ was flexible, understanding, and accommodating as my travel plans changed due to weather delays. I was able to rest easy and concentrate on my work meetings as I knew the dogs were in good hands. :)

KJ could not have been more accommodating and wonderful! My dachshund has trust issues and she did everything humanly possible to make him comfortable and calm - he’s never been left with someone he doesn’t know and he has special needs (he had back surgery and has cushings) and she was so good with him that I never had to worry - I would 1000% recommend her to anyone, and I will never use anyone else!

KJ cares for my dog as if my fur baby were her own. She is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. She is very flexible and reliable and has made my life much easier. Her scheduling system is very easy to use and she provides very personalized care- easy to reach and gives updates after her visit. Will be booking with her in the future.

KJ was awesome! We booked her at the last minute after our walker had to cancel. The dogs loved her! It’s hard to trust someone with your fur babies, but they took to her right away and we had no worries! They went out and about the neighborhood and came back with big smiles on their faces!! KJ was dependable, kind, sweet with our good boys, and really saved the day! 5 stars!!! 10/10 will definitely hire KJ again!!
