Red Cross Safety and First Aid Certified, 24/7 Vet on-call services Experience professional, safe, reliable, expedient service. Residing in Central Kentucky and enjoying retirement from a successful teaching career, I am so blessed and happy to have a second career working with animals. I may only have them in my care for a limited time, but a real loving bond is developed. If you are seeking an
honest, reliable, and dependable person who will comfort and treat your pet like their own, look no further! NPOG=no paws on ground
I drive a Honda CR-V and ONLY utilize all hard-sided plastic crates for transport. They are cleaned and sanitized after each use. Pets ONLY travel in the crates. *photos will be provided
I do provide:
*hard-sided plastic crates
*puppy pads
*cat litter
*water bowls/food bowls (clean and sanitized after each use)
*treats (with permission)
*fans, if needed beyond the air conditioner
*small collapsible playpen for small puppies when overnight or when on a longer than normal driving break
*towels/blankets (cleaned and sanitized after each use)
*new chew toys -- if needed for pet entertainment
If the pet does not have a harness, leash or collar I will provide them at the owner's expense (this will be discussed ahead of of transport as it is necessary to have these in order to take the pet on breaks and walks)
My promise to you, as a road trip can be traumatic for older animals, I will provide:
*conversation -- yes I do talk to my pets as we travel
*Lots of TLC
*Patience!!! Every pet is different and some need more reassurances than others
*Stretch breaks/walks and playtime
*Bathroom breaks are taken away from truck stops and rest areas when possible. I try to find out-of-the-way places that fewer pets have traveled.
*Puppies that do not have all of their shots will never have their paws on the ground. I use puppy pads and change out regularly throughout the trip.
*Medications prescribed by the vet can be administered if needed. Just give me notice.
*I really prefer to travel with pets who have not been drugged for the sake of transport. But if you insist, please just be honest and let me know you have given your pet calming medications. So you will be in the know of our travels, you will receive texts and photos throughout. You are welcome to phone me at any time during the transport. CERTIFICATIONS:
