Kerrie Jean is the proud owner of, and primary caregiver at, Tucked Inn Kennels. She is a 40+ year animal Mom and welcomes all types of animals into her heart and her home. Kerrie has grown up with just about every animal imaginable — dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters and fish! … There isn’t an animal she has met that does not become one of her ‘babies’.
A lifelong animal owner, Kerrie has always surrounded herself with animals, and when the opportunity and idea of Tucked Inn came along, she pounced on it immediately! Two years later, her dream of working with animals came to be. Passionate about ensuring that all animals are treated with the care and love they deserve, Tucked Inn Kennels has been designed with your dog’s ultimate comfort in mind.
