Walnut Grove Boarding Kennel

01/20/2026

Today was my 59th inspection. I've never had a warning, a violation or an issue. The inspection process is all paper work in order, cleanliness, tempreture check and everything spotless. I'm proud to say I'm always on point.
I never know what day the inspection is so I always have to be ready.
I've expanded, adding on another building, renovated to keep this kennel the best it can be.
I'm proud to say this is my 30th year and believe I'm the OG of boarding kennels in the area.
I have been doing this everyday 7 days a week 365 days a year. If I'm not here Jonica steps up and allows me to do my other love traveling. I can honestly say I LOVE MY LIFE. Those that are close to me know only 1 things missing. The man that made it all possible for me on my 40th birthday. I wish he was here to see how far my dream has come.
I thank Jonica and Nolan for any and all the help they've given me over the years. You have no idea how thankful I am for you both.
I want to thank every single client and their pets that have passed through my office door. It means more than you can ever imagine. The friends I've made are priceless. We've had laughter and some sadness at times over the years. Loving all the wonderful pets you've trusted me with. I've boarded some dogs from puppies until they cross Rainbow Bridge. I've gotten off the phone with the sad news of loss and cried many times. But oh so thankful they passed through Walnut Grove on their journey.
Thank you isn't enough to say to helping me live my dream and have that dream lasting all these years.
So here's to 30 more because this old girl has alot of living and loving to do on your pups.
THANK YOU ALL!

I'd like to take a moment to thank the people in this photo and a few that weren't there yet. These are some of the best people.
I need to thank one special one Jonica Sanders Schreiber you have been awesome. Since finding out in February we have sat alot of days planning together. Helping me load the truck hauling all the stuff in today. It turned out great.
Lori Frantz for organizing the raffles the last two years trying to make it better. You did great.
To my volunteers who returned Erika Taladay your awesome. Everything going on and you still showed up. New helpers Vicki Dingledine Mcgaughey, Vicki Boltz, Jamaica Forbes, Linda D Davis. You are all appreciated.
To all the raffle basket people you've been there since I took over. Such wonderful prizes. Everyone donating to Sacred Souls Sanctuary. Chris Jirak O'Donnell for all your hard work year round. Rescuing the truly needing help animals. Katrina Coates so glad we've become friends.
Last but not least Gary Montebell from the night this idea happened chatting about it at the Mariner many years ago. People don't realize how much work you put in daily for this community. To the staff at the pool what fun we've had over the years. Thanks for taking your time to help. Kyle Hockenberry and Alicia Marie your the best always making it a fun day. Sara Burk for all your help today and last year. If I forgot anyone I apologize and thank you. This old ladies beat tonight.
