Dog Boarding Buena Vista

“Great sitter! Sent pictures how my Harley was doing. Great picture! Harley was very happy with Kim. Kim was very kind and patient with Hailey. I felt Harley was very safe with Kim and she spoiled him like he was one of her own. Excellent 👌.”

“I strongly recommend Alisha! She was always in touch and sending me updates of my pups. With her fenced yard my dogs were able to enjoy outdoor play and even made new friends with the neighbor's dogs. The onboarding went smooth and the pick up as well. I always felt my dogs were well taken care of, not with a stranger but with "grandma".”

“Logan took great care of my puppy Scout for our first weekend apart! He sent photo updates and texts to keep me in the loop. Will definitely be going back!!”

“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”

“Lynda and her family watched our 16 week old puppy for a week. We didn't want to board our puppy at this age because we are in the midst of training and she was so impressionable, scared, naughty...all of the things that come with a puppy. We did a meet and greet and that gave us a lot of confidence. Our pup did great with Lynda and her family! It was a great experience to socialize our puppy, I can tell that they continued to work with her on basic manners training, and our pup seemed very happy. Lynda sent pictures and video every day which further gave us peace of mind that our pup was having a happy, healthy, and safe time. I would recommend Lynda to anyone - she takes special care to make sure your dog will be a good fit in her home and get along with her other dogs and cat. We will definitely chose Lynda and her family again the next time we need puppy care. Thanks!”

“Susan was great! very communicative and flexible. We came from out of town for a wedding and just needed someone for the night and it worked out great. Calvin, my dog, is a very dog friendly dog and got along with her dog finn very well who seems mild tempered. Susan sent me pictures and reassured me that Calvin was enjoying himself. If we’re ever back in the area I will definitely be using Susan again.”

“Great job. She sent pics of our dog while in her care. Overall, we were very happy w her caring overnight for our 2 year old dog. Would recommend her.”

David W.

“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”

“Kimberly did a wonderful job taking care of Bailee, we had a wonderful day, knowing that she was in good hands and loved.”

Lisa G.

“Nikki helped my dog feel at home while I was on an extended trip. Bella came back clean and brushed, happy to see me but clearly sad to see her new friend go. I have and will continue to use Nikki to watch Bella while I have to travel. Thanks Nikki”

“Kalon did such a wonderful job!! Great communication, pictures, and care for my dog Frank. I will definitely be using her for future dog care needs!!!”

Marina B.

“Kayti is awesome! She took great care of my puppy for 11 days. When he wasn’t feeling well she let me know immediately and reached out to my vets office for medication. She is responsible and obviously loves animals. Tucker was in great hands and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Kayti again in the future. Highly recommended!!!”

About: Dogs have been a significant part of my life, holding a special place in my heart. Growing up, my mother was involved in rescuing dogs, and we even took part in fostering. This experience exposed me to dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I've undergone basic dog training and share my life with a 3-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog named Millie. Prior to Millie, we had a beloved hound dog named Evie, who was a cherished companion for 15 years. My love for dogs spans every age, and I appreciate the unique needs and characteristics that come with each stage of their lives. I currently work from home full-time however, my schedule allows for flexibility through the week day where I can be available for walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and snuggles. I would be happy to come get your pup out for a long walk before you return home. I would be happy to take your pup to a park to walk or around your neighborhood. I have a dog harness for safe traveling. I could also bring your pet to my home to play with my dog for a playdate. We have a nice fenced-in backyard with plenty of room to run. Our dog is wonderful with other dogs as well- big and small.

About: I've had dogs in my house since I was born & have taken care of my own dog(s) for 20 years. I've done end of life care with all of my pets & have done basic training of puppies. I have 8 acres of property which is great for dogs to run and play! I'm currently a stay at home mom of 3 kids, but this year my youngest started school so I am now home every day alone & would love to have a doggie to keep me company. I have an 8 acre yard with a lot of room for dogs to run. I also have a pond that they could swim in if allowed. I currently don't have a dog, but have a caged in area in the yard as well that was used for our old Great Dane that I could use for outside time if your dog tends to wander.

About: PROFESSIONAL PET CARE | 10+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE | CPR & FIRST AID CERTIFIED Hi, I'm Maddy! I'm the owner of Blue Birch Pet Care & Training, providing professional, fully insured pet care backed by over a decade of hands-on experience with domestic, exotic, and farm animals. Pet care is my profession, not a side job. My background includes zoology, animal behavior, veterinary-related education, specialized handling, and experience with animals of all ages, species, and care requirements. MY EXPERIENCE & SPECIALTIES - Behavior & Training: Positive reinforcement and fear free training, behavior management and rehabilitation, enrichment, and individualized training support for all needs. - Medical & Special-Needs Care: Medical rehabilitation, medication administration, neonatal and postnatal care, bottle/syringe feeding, senior care, mobility assistance, emergency care, and wildlife rehabilitation - Emergency Preparedness: Pet CPR and first aid certification, with an emphasis on prevention, safety, and prompt communication. - Comprehensive Pet Care: Walking, drop-ins, boarding, daycare, overnight house sitting, grooming, and pet transportation. - All Species Welcome: Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, amphibians, birds/fowl, exotic pets, and small or large farm animals. SAFETY, ACCOUNTABILITY & COMMUNICATION I prioritize individualized care, safe handling, established routines, and detailed communication. I utilize GPS tracking and a vehicle dashcam for professional accountability. I also encourage clients to consider exterior security cameras for additional peace of mind. For boarding and daycare, I prioritize appropriate supervision, secure environments, and each animal's individual comfort and safety. I offer private daycare and boarding, or group, with or without socialization with the other animals. SPECIALIZED ANIMAL CARE & PRICING I welcome inquiries for exotic pets, livestock, poultry, and animals requiring specialized medical or behavioral support. Please contact me to discuss your pet's needs, availability, and individualized pricing. Your pet's physical and emotional well-being is my priority. I understand the trust involved in choosing a caregiver and am committed to providing knowledgeable, dependable, compassionate care you can feel confident in. I have a highly flexible schedule and can accommodate last-minute changes as needed. Since my college coursework is asynchronous, I can adapt my work to fit around your schedule seamlessly. As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.

About: In the past I was able to dog sit for this lady whenever she would go on vacation. I loved coming home to the dog and would take care of him like he was mine! I am available to walk your dog(s) after 3pm weekdays and anytime on weekends! I can also dog sit whenever! Preferably at the owners house! If I’m sitting at your house I’m sure to take the dog out as soon as I come home from work and even come home to them on my break to let them out.
