Dog Boarding in Margerum, AL

“Meleah was GREAT. She sent updates and pics daily that help calm my nerves. My pup is a spoiled brat and she kept help happy, healthy, and well entertained. I will definitely use her again.”

“Lisa was phenomenal with my dad’s german shepherd and very spirited poodle. She sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. Lisa really cares and thanks to her we didn’t worry about them during our trip! Thank you so much Lisa!”

About: My mom has worked as an assistant at a Vet Clinic for my whole life and I was always up there with her. I’ve done lots of volunteer work for them and I have wonderful experience with all kinds of animals. I have 2 pets of my own. My dog, kenai, and my cat, faline. I tend to my animals every need and make sure they are happy and healthy. I am very responsible, caring and I am willing to prove that to you and your pets. I am currently a college student, so I am available all day Friday-Sunday and weekdays will vary! Feel free to message and we could possibly work out our schedules. I also recommend to look over my prices before attempting to book! :) Unfortunately, I will not allow other pets to come to my home for safety precautions. I prefer to house sit your animals in a place where they are most comfortable. Leave me a list of all the specifics and I will make it my top priority to see to their needs.

“Would definitely use Kayla again! Very quick to respond to messages, sent updates and pics during the stay…..can tell she knows animals and is very good with them. Highly recommended”

I'm currently working part time and have ample amount of free time to take care of your pet's. My husband has shed/duck dogs, so I am well versed in caring for different breeds. I have a giant yard in a small neighborhood back in the woods with plenty of space to roam and have a good ole time.

About: I grew up on a farm and learned early in life how to care for a lot of different animals. We had several dogs, cats, cattle, horses and pigs going up. Over the years, I have cared for family and friends pets as they travel or vacation. I love animals, especially dogs. I always thought I would have gone into Veterinary Medicine. So, for the past many years I have rescued and rehome many animals. Update: My rescue dogs all have passed and I truly miss Gizmo, Lucky and Sweetie Pie. All of them were such gifts while they were here. Gizmo was a Shih Tzu and will always be my baby. I rescued at 3 months old. I truly believe he was a miracle sent to me. I had him for 12 years and every day was a blessing. He got an autoimmune disease and passed in 2018. I never had children so my dogs are my fur babies. I rescued another dog, Lucky. He passed in 2015. I actually had to put him down due to cancer. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I rescued Lucky when he was abandoned and everyone had given up on him. He was a shih Tzu too. Unfortunately, he had some health issues and was very aggressive with food. It took me at least a year to work with him on his aggression when others probably would have given up. He was my special needs dog. That is experience in itself when you take care of that kind of dog. I had to learn a lot of patience. He survive 5 years of a life that he probably would not have had if I hadn't taken him. He developed cancer at 11 years old. We did surgery to remove the tumors but he just wasn't strong enough to get better. I then started volunteering, fostering and helping other dogs find loving homes again. I felt like I was healing one day at a time. That is where I met Sweetie Pie. She has the personality that makes you laugh, even some little quirks that remind me of Lucky. I was just going to foster her but Gizmo fell in love with her and they are best friends. As you can see, I have quite the experience as well as administering meds, bathing and lots and lots of tender loving care. Update: Sweetie passed this passed April 2022 with bone cancer. One day she was running on the farm playing, the next she could barely walk. She wasn't sick at all and the vet said that this type of Cancer develops and spreads quickly. I work with Rover previously in Tennessee and had to move back to Mississippi in April 2021 to my families farm. The great things now, I have alot of land and places to walk and for dogs to run. I currently have another business that is flexible. I am able to work in to my schedule. I am able to work around my schedule to provide a great service for clients. All dogs are different. I try to do the same as a client would do in their home. Some may crate their animal for potty training or sleeping at night. I can do that. I have dogs who have their on space and bed so they know where their safe space is located. I am good about potty breaks and outside play time. As for client home visits and walks, clients usually leave instructions for their dogs habits and needs.

About: I'm type of person that will go to a party and first make friends with dog. My home is perfectly spaced for horsing around yet has many cozy places to take a nap and cuddle. I have a nice fenced yard with shaded spot on the rug and bench for lazy days. There is plastic kiddie pool to cool off in, when sunbathing becomes all too much. Street I live on is pretty private and fun to walk with big yards, plenty of bushes and places to sniff. There is a dog park in the mile proximity. My doggies are 2 goofballs that love to hang out with new friends. They might even insist on sharing a toy or two to win the guest over. All in all, we are a fun bunch to hang with. Pet boarding is a full-time venture for me so I will provide the utmost care and attention to your pet and will do my very best to be available to answer any questions or handle any concerns you may have during your pet's stay. Although I devote much of my time to boarding, please be respectful of the times I have listed below for drop-offs and pick-ups. Times for earliest drop-off and latest pick-up Monday to Thursday: 6am-830pm Friday: 6am-9pm Saturday and Sunday: 9am-830pm Be respectful of the times given. We wake up early on a daily basis and go to bed early as well due to early work and school schedules. Please let us know when you will be arriving. Send us a text upon arrival and we will meet you outside to bring your pet inside. This method will prevent barking from the doggos already here and reduce stress and separation anxiety for your pet. Please bring your pet's food in Ziploc bags with his or her name clearly written on them. If there are medications and/or supplements to be given, please include detailed and clearly written or typed instructions. What you DO NOT need to bring: food bowls water bowls pet beds/blankets toys clothes We provide toys (including indoor, outdoor, plush, toys for chewers, so let us know if your dog has a preference), beds, wipes, brushes, and crates if your pet needs one at night. Apart from our home that is open to your pet, we have an additional house on our property that can accommodate guests. We also have part-time staff who can help on an as-needed basis. Your pet will be free to run around our 1/4 acre backyard that is fully enclosed by a 6 foot fence. We have a large gazebo that provides shade during the hotter days. The backyard is divided into a large grassy area and smaller gravel and concrete sections. Fresh water is provided consistently. Tours of our home will not be granted. We will happily provide you with our Instagram account so you can view the premises and also check out our regular guests having a great time. We do not require a meet-and-greet for the stay, but if you would like to do one, our front porch provides the perfect spot for us to meet. We dedicate the weekends between 9am and 11am to any meet-and-greets you wish to have. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets ! My partner, Hunter, and I both have remote positions so we are home most of the time. We absolutely love taking the pups on mid-day walks. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. After dinner, everyone gets a dental bone with enzymatic puppy toothpaste to freshen breath and keep cavities at bay!
