Leaving town doesn’t have to mean sending your pets to a noisy boarding facility, crowded daycare, or busy vet clinic. While some animals do great in those environments, others shut down or struggle with the chaos, unfamiliar routines, and constant stimulation. And while the teenager down the street may mean well, your pets deserve a professional—someone who sees subtle stress signals, respects individual needs, and takes their care seriously.
With Happy Tailblazers, your animals stay right at home, where they feel most secure. I provide personalized care that adapts to their needs—not the other way around.
Every home and animal crew is different—that’s why I offer flexible pricing based on the time and effort required, rather than a flat per-pet rate. Whether it’s a couple of dogs or a whole flock of chickens and turkeys, I’ll make sure everyone gets the care they need.
Instead of charging per pet, I base rates on:
Visit duration
Complexity of care (medications, special needs)
Species and setup (e.g. indoor pets vs. outdoor poultry)
This allows me to fairly price quick, simple visits while still honoring the time and energy it takes to handle more involved care routines.
These are check-ins where I stop by your home to feed, clean up, offer potty breaks, playtime, or whatever your pets need.
Great for quick check-ins, feeding, or potty breaks
Ideal for multi-pet households or routines involving light meds
Multi-species care, outdoor animals, or more involved routines
No problem—just reach out! I’ll ask a few questions about your animals’ care routine and give you a custom quote with no pressure to book. Transparency is important to me, and I want you to feel confident in what you're paying for.
$125 per 24 hours
Includes care for most household pets (dogs, cats, etc.), feeding, walks or playtime, clean-up, companionship, and home care (mail, plants, trash). I stay in your home to help your pets feel secure and stick to their normal routine while you’re away.
If your routine involves outdoor animals (like chickens, turkeys, ducks), specialty enclosures, multiple feedings, or special medical care, we’ll discuss a custom rate that reflects the time and effort involved. These visits often require longer care windows or extra tasks and may be priced above the standard rate.
Fill out the form with details about your pet, your travel dates, and the type of care you need (drop-in visits or live-in pet sitting).
I’ll review your request and get in touch to confirm availability, discuss details, and arrange a meet-and-greet if needed.
You can rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away!
Note: Submitting a request does not guarantee a booking. Availability is first come, first served.
Because every home and pet routine is unique, I offer flexible visit options that are tailored to your needs. Pricing is based on the time and effort required, not per pet.
Here’s what I typically offer during drop-in visits or full-time stays, as time allows:
Feeding, refilling water, and medication (if applicable)
💉 Note: I do not offer injection administration at this time.
Potty breaks, walks, or playtime
Litter box scooping
Enrichment activities or snuggle time
Daily updates (photos, notes, or text)
Feeding and watering outdoor animals (chickens, turkeys, etc.)
Collecting eggs, cleaning up droppings or bedding
Managing coops, gates, or fencing
Custom instructions followed with care
Bringing in mail and packages
Taking out trash or rotating bins
Watering houseplants or garden beds
This is not a one-size-fits-all boarding facility with staff juggling dozens of animals. It’s a personalized, in-home experience delivered by a credentialed professional who shows up just for your pets—on your schedule, in your home, and with your dog’s behavioral and emotional well-being at the heart of every decision.
You’re not paying for a spot in a building.
You’re investing in safety, support, and a service tailored to your individual dog.
If you’re a bit outside the area shown on the map, no worries! I may still be able to come to you — there just might be a small extra mileage fee, depending on the distance.
