Pet care experience

Retired = I have time for your baby

I have had a dog off and on since I was 3yrs old. I absolutely love dogs. I have had the pleasure of helping take care of family and friends pets throughout my years as well. I have 17yr old twin girls who love dogs as well. They both would love to help me take care of your fur baby. I have a 5yr. old Yorkshire Terrier named Chip. I have been retired for 6yrs from 20yrs of law enforcement. I homeschool my kids and I’m usually home most of the time. I’m free to ensure your pet is loved and well taken care of. I have space for you to provide a crate to keep your pet in as needed for the stay. (Providing a crate is required) I have a large home for your dog to play and sleep in for their stay with us. My dog baby Chip and my twin daughters would help me in keeping your pet feeling loved and safe.

Mocha is ALWAYS in great hands with Anika. I am never worried about her care and wellbeing. Does my heart good to leave my baby in the hands of someone who cares for her like I do.

Anika did an excellent job with my baby, October. She communicated with me throughout his stay with texts, photos, videos. October wasn’t quite ready to leave her, which makes me feel the love and care she has for my furbaby. I will definitely be using her in the future.

My dog looked like he was enjoying himself so much, I wasn’t sure how to convince him to come home🤭 His previous stay away from home was terrible, and stressful, he returned with hotspots all over his body. I knew we found a good fit Anika because she only watches one dog at a time, more his speed. We received pictures and updates daily which eased his humans minds. I cannot thank Anika enough fo her care. See you soon!

This was my first time using a boarding place for my 5 month old mini poodle who wasn't completely potty trained. My Dutch was really taken care. I will be using Anika again anytime I need a boarding place for him. Thanks

Anika and her family were wonderful with Clyde. She was sure to send updates and ask questions if needed. I would recommend and use her again.
