About: Our trained and loving staff provide quality care. We have a rigorous first day evaluation/ 'interview' process for all dogs in our care to ensure only the most well behaved and social pups are approved to be in playgroup.

About: I have taken care of pets and learned responsibility. I enjoy walking them as they are energetic and playful. I follow medication schedules and ensure pets feel loved. I work a part-time shift from 8 AM to 3 PM on weekdays. I can host the stays at my place any date after 4 pm. Since I have no summer job, I am available on any date. When caring for pets at a client's, I focus on ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness. I always start by understanding the specific needs and routines of each pet from their owner, including their feeding schedule, exercise habits, medical requirements, and any behavioral quirks. At a client's home, I respect their space and ensure it remains clean and tidy. I meticulously follow the pet's routine, give them plenty of attention, and sometimes send updates and photos to the owners to keep them reassured.
About: Our experienced and trained team closely monitor all interactions to ensure a safe and controlled environment. We maintain small play groups and each playtime is closely supervised ensuring playtime remains fun and safe for everyone. We keep a very clean and positive environment and we monitor all pets for signs of illness or injury throughout their stay. While we take every precaution to prevent accidents, we are prepared to handle emergencies should they arise. We believe in transparency and open communication with pet parents. We send our daily report cards that includes who your pet played with, what were their favorite activities, photos and videos. Most importantly, we have scheduled nap times between long playtimes to encourage a happy and well rested dog that’ll promote good socialization and play behavior!

Thank you both so much for making me feel at ease when I was away🫶”

“We had an excellent experience with Alexandra for our dog Snickers. This was our first time leaving Snickers with a sitter, and I could tell she felt right at home from the moment we dropped her off. Alexandra was great with providing daily photos and updates on how she's doing. She also has 2 well behaved small dogs, which gave Snickers a chance to socialize without being overwhelming. Cannot recommend Alexandra enough and will continue using her to board Snickers!”

K9 UniversityLocal facility
“My dog has been going to K9 University for about 8 years. When I’m out of town or not I take him there for doggy daycare. They take care of his grooming. I also have enrolled my dog into their classes for nose work, agility and obedience and my dog absolutely loves it. I am also satisfied with the results and experience of K9 University INC. Their staff members are well trained and they all practice the same delivery of services, for instance, what one staff members provide in quality customer services so does the remaining 5 staff members, therefore the quality you receive from this company isn’t compromised; moreover, they go above and beyond. They are all very professional and possess a wonderful attitude – they look very happy to be there. I’ll most definitely recommend using K9 University INC.”
