Dog Trainer/Home Full Time
Pet care experience
ANNOUNCEMENT: I am so excited to take care of your furry family member! Due to wanting to make sure I can keep everyone playing all day, there will be a $15 late fee added to the total if you are more than 10 minutes late and don’t let me know. If you are running behind and let me know and the fee will be waved. This will ensure the dogs don’t spend too much time in their crates waiting for drop offs or pick ups to happen. Hours for pick up and drop off are Monday - Saturday 8am-6pm. Hi! I am so excited to get to know you and your pup. Here is a little bit about me and what it is like to stay here. I started pet sitting while I was in highschool and became the go to girl for my neighbors when they went out of town. After highschool, I was a vet tech for 5 years. Meanwhile, I trained my own dogs for upper level obedience and personal protection. That inspired me to leave my vet tech career and become a full time dog trainer. I own my own business, Performing Paws LLC, where I specialize in obedience and dogs with anxiety issues. Check out performingpaws(dot)com! Performing Paws does boarding day care style. The dogs are each temperament tested, then slowly integrated into the pack to ensure they are happy and safe. During their stay, your pup will have multiple play sessions both inside and outside with the dogs they get along with best. They are crated when they are resting, eating, when I am not home, and at night. Dogs who are not a candidate for group play get time in the yard and house to run around and explore on their own. Your pup will be kept in the house. They have a room designed just for them with an air purifier, fan that provides airflow and noise to help them sleep and is camera monitored. They are crated next to each other so they don’t feel alone. The atmosphere is very relaxed and quiet so all dogs feel at home. The dog room can be viewed during the meet and greet, but only if the dogs are currently outside playing. Having people they don’t know come into their space when they’re sleeping can be stressful and in order to respect their peace, I like to limit that stress. I have a photo of the dog room for those cases. My hours for pick ups and drop offs are Monday-Saturday, 8am-6pm.
Reviews
Anna was so great with my pup! It was a rainy weekend, but that didn’t stop them from having fun. She also gave him a bath since he got all muddy, which was so nice. We’ve used her a couple of times before and she never disappoints!
Anna was incredible! She sent pictures and videos every day, and the dogs even came home clean and bathed! We would recommend Anna to anyone looking for great dog care.
Anna took great care to introduce our big puppy to her own dogs and to the other group of dogs that she regularly keeps. This was our puppy’s first social experience with a group of well behaved dogs. It was an exceptional experience for our pup. Anna sent us numerous videos and photos of dog interactions throughout the day. Our pup was happy and playing in her large fenced yard and lounging on her sofa with other dogs. I felt more confident in Anna since she is a dog trainer and knows her dogs well and knows how to introduce new ones to her “pack”. All the dogs were happily running around and none seemed stressed. I highly recommend Anna and will definitely bring Daisy back!
Anna runs a top notch business and is so clearly a dog lover and all around pro. Our Labrador Henry was so happy when we picked him up from his sleepover. We 100% recommend Anna! A++

I have a .75 acre fenced back yard. The play area is divided into two yards. One is designed for smaller/more shy dogs while the other is designed for large/more rowdy dogs. Both are equipped with splash pools during the summer months to cool down and swim in. Dogs are always monitored to ensure safe play and that no dog gets too tired or overwhelmed.

Information Anna S. would like to know about your pet
I like to learn a client’s routine with the pet so that it is as stress free as possible on the pet being away from it’s parents.
A typical day
Because I am a dog trainer, happy, mentally stimulated dogs are important. I get up early to work dogs, feed them and take them potty. Boarding dogs get playtime outside before coming inside to relax and play with toys. They go out to go potty anytime they ask to go out. Everyone gets more playtime at lunchtime, then back inside to relax until dinner. After dinner, each dog goes on a walk around the neighborhood. Final potty break before bed is 10:00

Availability
My time is dedicated to making sure your pup has a fun filled sleepover experience! When you pack their bag, bring their food and a special blanket from home for their crate. No need to bring anything else as storage space is limited here and there are plenty of toys and treats to go around! Bowls are provided and washed daily. Keep in mind, stuffed beds are not allowed for safety reasons and dogs can loose blanket privileges if they start to chew on them. Each night, your pup will get a bedtime Kong stuffed with a treat to help them fall asleep fast.
