Gurr & Purr is insured, bonded, and a member of Pet Sitters International, the world’s largest educational association for professional pet sitters, and backed by their Certified Professional Pet Sitter program. I am trained in pet First Aid and CPR. I've also completed a Canine Defensive Handling Certificate. As a former Veterinarian Assistant I am able to care for dogs, cats, ferrets, birds, other small animals, senior pets, and special needs pets needing oral medications, sub Q injections, recovering from surgery, and pets with separation anxiety. I'm entering my 6th year as a coordinator and foster with Team Cat Rescue which has given me much experience in feline behavior challenges. I prefer to work one on one with your pets instead of booking multiple clients. This ensures your pets have my undivided attention with no distractions. Your fur child is treated as part of my family, not a visitor, when boarding in my home. Visits to your home are typically longer than average so that pets have interaction and affection, as well as taking care of their essential needs. I live in a quiet residential neighborhood with a park just steps from my door. I provide tons of affection, a large variety of interactive games for mental stimulation and lots of play time, and peaceful areas to sleep and rest. During daycare dogs get plenty of walks throughout the day, enrichment games and puzzles, perhaps some doggy art, while your dog has free access to my completely enclosed backyard. Air conditioning is provided throughout the house to ensure pets are comfortable in the summer months. On those hot sticky days a doggy pool is available for dogs to splash around in or just relax and cool off. All clients receive either daily report cards, emails/texts and photos of their pet. Plans are in the works for a private "catio" from our rec room on to our deck. GURR & PURR IS CURRENTLY OPERATING AT FULL CAPACITY AND UNABLE TO TAKE NEW CLIENTS. A waiting list is available.
