Information Anita F. would like to know about your pet

I have cats and a dog of my own and therefore cannot accommodate aggressive animals for doggy daycare or overnight boarding. I apologize for the inconvenience. Some information I'll ask about your pet includes: * Behavior around other dogs, cats, small animals, and people * Vaccination status * Times/amounts your pet eats * Allergies or dietary restrictions as they may receive treats while here * Exercise needs * Bathroom habits * Likes/dislikes * Discouraged behaviors or behavioral quirks * Soothing methods used when pet is anxious

A typical day

Your pup's day will likely be spent playing fetch and other off-leash games in the backyard, exploring all the sniffs at the nearby park, playing games, and napping in between it all.

Caring for Your Pet Like My Own!

Pet care experience

I have over 15 years of experience in pet care with dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, and birds. I currently have a dog and cats of my own to help keep your pet company during their stay (for this reason, pets looking to stay with me must be non-aggressive towards cats and other dogs). I offer drop-ins, walks, and boarding services. During their stay, your pup will get daily exercise and activity (depending on their individual needs) through walks, off-leash play in a secure yard, and mentally stimulating games/puzzles. I can take your pet out for the bathroom as often as every three hours, which can be an ideal situation for senior pups or those with medical conditions! If your pet must be left alone during any period of time (such as during feedings), it will be done so in an appropriately-sized crate, and so it is ideal for your pet to be crate-trained. When they aren't playing, your pet will likely be hanging out indoors with me, either lounging around or people-watching out the windows or in a sun-patch on the porch while getting lots and lots of pets. For cats, I offer a deluxe kitty room with a play tunnel, cat tree, high shelves for jumping/climbing, many soft blankets, a variety of toys, a running fountain water bowl, and an abundance of dark hiding places to help them feel comfortable.

Anita is fantastic. She's easy to communicate with, warm with my dogs, and understanding of my 13-month-old's more energetic tendencies. I think it's abundantly clear that she loves animals, and I felt very secure in leaving my dogs with her.

Perfect! Thank you so much for taking care of Hartwell. I loved seeing pics and videos of him while I was away and never had to worry because he always looked happy! Will be leaving him with you again. 10/10
