Luxury, loving & picket-fenced.

Pet care experience

*Accepting new clients again for the first time since Fall 2020! Once my spots are filled, that’s it! I strive to provide truly TOP-of-the-line care! Offering daycare or overnights/extended stays, dogs & cats (or any beast really; barring husbands) are welcome boards here. Very long history of animal-care experience; dogs, puppies, cats, kittens & farm animals too (farm & equestrian background). Now that I’m living in the city I’m just so happy to be around all animals possible. Giving animals my undivided attention and tender care is so fulfilling and spending time with animals brings me great joy. From large, active dogs to small, cuddle-all-the-time dogs and puppies/kittens to senior pets - my animal experience is all encompassing. ‘Needy’ pets welcome. Plenty of experience with oral and topical medications. I offer a truly luxury boarding experience. Elegant, very clean home full of plush furnishings and pet accessories. Plus, affectionate & responsible older children (15 & 16 yrs. old + a pet-loving husband) to provide your pet with a truly wonderful family-oriented and fun time here. Your baby will be treated as the Family he/she is. Updates and pictures provided daily, and/or as requested. No crating during your pets’ stay? No problem. I do have an XXXL kennel, XL Kennel and Medium kennel inside available for use IF you personally request it for your pets’ own comfort/security. Otherwise, your pet will have (mostly) free range in my home for the duration of their stay and will never ever be kenneled. It’s very important to me that your pet feels as ‘at-home’ here as possible, I try to mimic their environment as it is at home. I’m home full-time and provide ‘round the clock personal care, monitoring and attention. I take pet care very seriously. Your pet will never be left totally home alone, without any human supervision during their stay. Also, our backyard is flat and grassy & kept clean with a nice shady area and plenty of dog toys plus under-decking & patios for sun relief. My well-mannered, highly socialized/well-trained Siberian Husky, Rottweiler & 4 rescue felines will be slowly introduced to your pet. Active, fun, multi-animal playtime is a given advantage around here; however, if yours isn’t so social, or is highly sensitive, arrangements can be easily made to separate, without compromising any pets’ comfort during their stay. (I always separate during feedings, simply as a precaution.) But, my pets are all very experienced, older, gentle and so happy to invite new animal members into our Family. We all make it fun and safe around here! I offer a thoroughly sanitized and CLEAN environment! Any and all precautions are taken inside my home - pandemic or not. Cleanliness, safety and happiness are top priorities in my home. * just a reminder ‘Overnights’ are considered (less than or equal to) 24 hour periods. (However, I’m easy going and if 24 hrs simply doesn’t fit your travel schedule, just let me know! :)

Second time with Afton and Rooney literally cries when he comes back home with me alone bc he misses his friends. (Don’t worry he still loves me too) BUT Highly recommend

Our kitten had so much fun at Afton’s!! So glad to find a place where he did not have to be in a cage all day and was able to play and bound with her cat.

This is my first Rover sitter for my 1 year old golden retriever and he literallllly couldn’t of been happier here with Afton and her two dogs...I also have never felt so at ease with handing my dog off! my Dog I think went into a depression after leaving because he had so much fun with Afton. They went to the park and played outside all day. 12/10 will schedule with Afton again!
