Pet care experience

I grew up with many dogs of all sizes and personalities — from calm seniors to hyper puppies — and we also fostered animals growing up. Before having children, I worked at a doggy daycare, where I learned to care for multiple pets at once. Currently, my husband and I board for family and friends, and we’re excited to expand our care to more pets because we truly love animals! I am a stay-at-home wife, so your pets will have someone at home with them throughout the day giving attention, cuddles, and care. My husband works outside of the home, but he’s happy to help and loves animals too! We have three kids (infant to 8 years old) who absolutely adore animals, and we welcome both dogs and cats of all personalities. While our 2.5-acre yard isn’t fenced, we have a dog trolley system that allows pets to safely explore and enjoy the outdoors while leashed. We also love walks, playtime, and games of fetch for dogs who enjoy daily exercise. With us, your furry family members will receive lots of love, attention, and supervision throughout the day!

I would like to thank Alana for taking care of my little fur baby. I had booked with her for an overnight boarding stay. I greatly appreciated receiving updates and pictures. My doggie looked so comfortable and well taken cared of. I will definitely be utilizing her boarding services again in the future.

Alana was friendly, communicative, and accommodating. Brady seemed to be happy and well cared for. Would definitely book with her again!
