Pet Boarding Clarkston

About: I have always loved all animals! I am definitely a nurturer at heart. I have loads of experience watching pets for friends and family. I have worked with a rescue the past few years and have helped nurse back to health and find homes for multiple cats and dogs of all ages. I’d love to help take care of your pet! I am flexible because I work from home so I am able to navigate around schedules easily. I take care of my own animals daily and have my husband as back up. I give all animals proper care and attention from feeding to cuddles. I provide a safe and trusting environment within and outside my own home.

“Humphrey had a great time at his stay and had a bunch of fun playing with his new friend AJ. Nicholas was a great host and was very accommodating to any of humphrey's needs! Will definitely book again with Nicholas and AJ in the future when Humphrey needs a sitter!”

“Ilona watched our dog at her house for a week. We are extremely happy with the care and love she and her family provided our pup and highly recommend her if you are looking for a dog sitter. I felt like they treated him like he was a member of their family and gave him so much love and attention. Ilona sent lots of pictures and videos and asked a few questions when she wasn’t sure of Jimmy’s routine. Jimmy came home happy and relaxed and knowing a few new tricks! Thank you guys so much!!!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Anirudhh! They were caring, responsible, and attentive to Simba’s needs. They kept us updated, made sure our dog was comfortable and happy, and treated our furry family member with so much love. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Simba was in such good hands. We truly appreciate their care and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter!”

“Daria was a 5-star, fabulous sitter. She took great care of our little guy and built a great relationship with him. So much so that even when we picked him up, he went back to her for some goodbye love. Daria was in regular contact with us and shared lots of pictures. We'd definitely recommend Daria and she'll be watching our little guy, Riley, again.”

“Julie did a fantastic job. My buddy Charlie was definitely depressed after leaving his new greyhound friends, so I know he had a good time. She has a great home for the dogs to play around in the backyard. Would book again.”

“Michele took care of our Scarlett as if she were her own. She sent updates and photos. Scarlett takes anti-anxiety meds and has stomach issues. Michele gave Scarlett her meds twice a day and even cooked chicken and tilapia to entice Scarlett to eat. She walked Scarlett and brushed her. We already have Michele booked for our next trip!”

About: I have been a dog owner for a majority of my life and I have done what ever is needed to take care of them. I will feed, play, bathe, walk, give medicine, and take outside to potty. Essentially whatever is asked for me I will do. I currently volunteer with therapy dogs in a hospital and I love it! Would love to bring my skills and passion to animal owners every where. I do work full time however, weekends I am free including Friday evening and I know that may be hard to get as people travel on the weekend. I live in a safe and dog friendly neighborhood! I have a big home they can explore in. I truly watch the animals as when they move I move.

“My dog felt extremely comfortable from the start and had the best time during her stay!!! Karen is fast at responding and very pleasant to chat with!!!”

“Watney loves visiting Anna and her dog Ruby! He always has a buddy with him throughout the day and Anna keeps an eye on him too. Ruby is kind enough to share her lounging bed and blankets. Couldn’t ask for a better stay!”

“Raimi was great. She treated my pups amazing. My pups made a little mess and Raimi was really nice at communicating the plan to address the issue. I would recommend her everyday!!!”

About: I have over 12 years of experience caring for animals and have always had a huge love for them. I previously worked at an animal shelter and have also fostered animals and done rescue work independently. Through those experiences, I’ve cared for animals with different personalities, backgrounds, ages, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic routines, and giving pets plenty of patience, attention, and affection. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll treat every animal in my care like they’re one of my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a regular part of my day. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. With my experience working in an animal shelter, fostering, and doing rescue work independently, I’m comfortable caring for animals with many different personalities and needs. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and make sure your pet receives lots of attention while maintaining the routine they’re used to.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for many years including child care at a young age, being there for an animal, child or human is my nature - it comes naturally! I have many skills but pet and child care is just who I am I would not consider it a skill :). Integrating Pet Care into My Daily Routine Caring for my pets is not just a responsibility; it’s a fulfilling part of my daily life that enriches my routine in numerous ways. Here’s how I seamlessly integrate pet care into my day: - Morning Routine Early Start: My day begins with a morning walk, allowing my dogs to stretch their legs and enjoy the fresh air. This not only keeps them healthy but also sets a positive tone for the day. Feeding Time: After our walk, I prepare nutritious meals tailored to each pet's dietary needs, ensuring they start their day with the right fuel. - Midday Check-Ins Playtime: If I’m home, I take breaks to engage in play sessions with my pets, providing them with mental stimulation and strengthening our bond. Quality Time: Whether it’s a quick cuddle or a game of fetch, these moments are vital for their emotional well-being and my own. - Evening Routine Family Time: In the evenings, my pets are an integral part of family activities. They join us for relaxation, watching TV, or even participating in quiet reading time, creating a sense of togetherness. Nightly Walks: Before bedtime, I make sure to take my dogs out for another walk, allowing them to unwind and enjoy the night air. Flexibility and Adaptation Adaptable Schedule: My routine is flexible enough to accommodate any special needs or unexpected situations, such as vet visits or grooming appointments, ensuring my pets receive the best care possible. Continuous Learning Ongoing Education: I dedicate time to learning about pet care, attending workshops, or reading articles to enhance my knowledge and stay updated on best practices. Incorporating pet care into my daily routine not only ensures my pets are happy and healthy but also brings immense joy and fulfillment to my life. Their companionship and the love we share motivate me to prioritize their needs, making every day a rewarding experience. Caring for pets, whether in my home or my client's homes, involves a comprehensive approach that prioritizes their well-being, safety, and happiness. Here’s how I ensure exceptional care: In My Home 1. Safe Environment: - I maintain a pet-friendly space, free from hazards such as toxic plants, chemicals, or small objects that could be ingested. - Designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playing are established to create a sense of security. 2. Routine Care: - Daily feeding schedules are adhered to, with meals tailored to meet the nutritional needs of each pet. - Regular grooming sessions help maintain their hygiene and comfort, including brushing, bathing, and nail trimming. 3. Exercise and Enrichment: - I provide ample opportunities for physical activity through walks, playtime, and interactive toys to keep pets engaged and healthy. - Mental stimulation is encouraged through puzzle toys and training sessions, fostering a strong bond and enhancing their skills. 4. Health Monitoring: - I keep a close eye on their behavior and health, noting any changes that may require veterinary attention. - Regular vet visits are scheduled for vaccinations, check-ups, and preventive care. In Client's Homes Personalized Care Plans: - Each pet receives a tailored care plan based on their specific needs, preferences, and routines as discussed with the owner. - I ensure that I follow the owner’s guidelines closely, maintaining consistency in care. Daily Routine Maintenance: - I replicate the pet's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, exercise, and playtime, to minimize stress during the owner's absence. - I provide regular updates to pet owners, sharing photos and notes about their pet's behavior and activities. Safety Precautions: - I ensure that the home environment is secure, checking for any potential hazards and keeping doors and gates closed. - Emergency contacts, including the owner’s vet, are kept handy in case of unforeseen situations. Companionship and Attention: - I dedicate quality time to each pet, providing companionship and attention to alleviate any feelings of loneliness. - Engaging in activities that the pet enjoys helps maintain their happiness and well-being. Post-Care Clean-Up: - After each care session, I ensure the home is tidy, cleaning up any pet-related messes and leaving the space as I found it.
