Tender Loving Care for Pets (TLC)

Meet Our TLC for Pets Caretakers

Kelly Nimtz
Janet and Kelly Nimtz have been married for nearly 39 years. For all of that time, they have had a family dog. Some of those canine friends were homeless pets that needed a loving home, and others they bought as puppies. The early canine additions to the Nimtz family helped to raise their two daughters, and the last one, Katie, was there as they adjusted to an empty nest following the marriages of their daughters. The Nimtz’s live in a suburban area near Lodi with lots of dog walking trails in the nearby vineyards. Kelly works as a staff member at the School of Veterinary Medicine.
