Welcome to Heartland Tails

Hi, I'm Caroline Case. I owned and operated my own extremely large pet boarding (up to 125 dog and cat) facility in Kansas City, MO from 1988 to 2002 until Lyme Disease ruined my ability to work. I have studied emergency medical as an EMT and on dogs, have given CPR to non domesticated animals to save their life. I've rescued, fostered, worked in a veterinary hospital in reception and management. I've done grooming and obedience training and taught others both. Not so easy on my older body now.

I've owned horses, many many dogs, cats, small unusual animals-hedgehog, sugar glider, a pet rooster that lived inside the house, and then the usual rabbits, ducks, guinea pigs, fish (including tanks of piranhas and giant oscars). I loved working at a nature park and helping with newborn rescues of baby wildlife hoping they would somehow survive. There is not a lot I haven't seen and done when it comes to animals entrusted in my care.

Now, in retirement, I will take great care of your fur babies, giving them exceptional one-on-one time and attention. No kennels, they get the run of the house and home baked treats from a grand master baker! I hope you will give me the opportunity to show you why I am an elite pet care professional and that you should tell others. Thank you!
