Teena's Wagz & Whiskers

"Whether it's just for one night or for a whole week, we can always go away on vacation and really enjoy ourselves knowing that Naiema and Juno are in safe and loving hands with Teena at Wagz & Whiskers. When we return, the house is just the way we left it, and you can tell the girls have been spoiled and very well taken care of. If you want worry free time away from home, call Teena to come and sit with your animals.""

"I was rather frantic a couple years ago when we needed to leave for several days and knowing past experiences at kennels had been traumatic both for Jag, our Great Dane, and me. You can’t enjoy being away when every minute is spent worrying about your dog’s anxiety, gastric/intestinal upheaval, abandonment fears, discomfort in an unfamiliar environment, etc. And since most kennels cater to cat-sized dogs, finding sufficient space for a 150 pound Dane that would accommodate his height and space needs was basically impossible. We wanted him to stay in our home. Which he views as his kennel.nFortunately for us, our veterinarian had Teena King, owner of Wagz & Whiskers, on speed dial and directed us to her care. Teena responded immediately to both my request for “special treatment” and my post-traumatic stress from past experiences. Don’t laugh. I feel your head nodding.nWhether helping us out for noon-time outside breaks or staying at our home overnight for several days, we never worry. Her initial assessment of Jag, us, our home, expectations and so on was so thorough I was extremely impressed. She wanted to know us like she knows her own pets and family. After every visit Teena leaves a note on what she did, how Jag responded, and any particulars that may be important to us. My initial need to text her – frequently – was met with patience and support. Today, while I’m interested that all is going well if we’re gone, I truly enjoy our time away knowing it’s all under control. nThere are not enough positive words or examples to express how loving, conscientious, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and qualified Teena is. She has my highest recommendation!n"

"Hello,nnTeena from Wagz and Whiskers cared for my two cats, Prince and Shadow last November, while I attended a reunion in San Diego, California.nnI was so happy with her services. She sent me emails and pictures to tell (and show) me how by 'babies' were getting along with me.nnBefore I left for my trip she spent a lot of time learning about my kitties, and what they liked and their demeanors, habits and any other tidbits of information that might help her better care for Prince and Shadow.nnMy cat Shadow is a bit apprehensive of new people, but he would peer around the corner while Teena and her dad visited with me. In my absence they all made quick friends and Shadow was more than happy with the care he received. Prince, is a person cat, but he is rather loyal to me. However, he snubbed me to get first pets from Teena's father. That showed me that her father also has the special touch with animals.nnI really appreciated the fact that I had two people to care for my cats while I was away. And I think the cats fared better because of this fact and Teena's other special touches.nnI was gone for a week, and that was the longest length of time that my cats had been without me in their lives. When I arrived home, my cats were both content, and satisfied. They did not 'complain' about my absence. They were calm and well adjusted when I returned. I was so pleased with the services and treatment of my kitties, that I am using Teena's services again as I travel to Arizona and Idaho.nnI am positive I will come home to happy cats again this time.nnSincerely,nnRonda"
