Information Alex S. would like to know about your pet

Any medications they need? Do they have good recall? Are they chewers? Do they have a high prey drive/are they good with cats of all sizes? Are they crate trained? *I will not be able to free feed your animal during their stay here with me. My animals are on prescription diets due to allergies and medical issues and they will eat anything they can that is out and about. But they will be fed twice or 3 times a day to insure they eat. *

A typical day

I love being out in the backyard or front yard with my kiddos. We are always outside enjoying the weather and your babies would be enjoying it with us.

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Alex! I was an experienced Veterinary Technician Assistant. I am a stay at home momma to 2 littles (ages 5 & 4). We have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 5 chickens and 6 ducks! I have been watching pets since I was 12 off and on from coworkers, to my family, family friends and neighbors. I used to work for a doggy daycare and boarding facility full time for 2 years. I am comfortable administering medications, as well as giving injections for pets. I have pet sat birds, fish, dogs, cats, and horses. I have also watched ill animals that have had renal failure and heart disease that required a lot of care and administering medications. I have had experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs. I board single dogs at a time or families that have one or more animals so I can give them all the attention.

Blue loves going here! They are seriously the best! The whole family is so awesome and sweet! She sends updates with pics & videos through the entire stay! If you need a doggie daycare or overnight highly highly recommend. We’ve done both!

Our puppy had a great time!! She sent videos and photos throughout the day, responded right away to us when checking in! She and her family seem to really love and care for your pet like their own! We will definitely be requesting for our pup to spend the day with them again! Highly highly recommend!
