Hi there! A little background about me: I grew up always having a Labrador Retriever around the house and have had at least one dog most of my life. At the moment my husband and I have a lovely black Lab (Belle) as well as a sassy French Bulldog (Gus). I also have had "pocket pets" such as guinea pigs and chinchillas throughout my life. I have experience with a large amount of species (from mice to horses) in boarding situations as well as a veterinary assistant for numerous clinics. (I was pre-vet for a large chunk of my life and do have an Animal Science Bachelors from MSU.) Due to those experiences, I have dealt with pups or kitties that need medications and know all the tricks of the trade to get the most stubborn what they need! With that being said I have also been around every personality out there, from lazy Frenchies to eccentric Australian Cattle Dogs, and love them all equally. I would love to treat your dogs (or any pet) like my own, including keeping them on the routine you set them to help reduce anxiety. Whether that be walking them a couple of miles a day or cuddling up on the couch to give them some extra TLC. I also love to give updates throughout my stay or visits so that you know your animals are happy and healthy.
