Pets

I’m Vet Technician & love animals.

Pet care experience

I’ve been a vet tech for 22 years. I can board pets that require medicines, shots and etc. I have a dog and 3 cats of mine own but have plenty of room for boarding. I have 2 story house so plenty of room to board pets. I have a 6 foot fence in yard, a ponded area a few house away to wake the dogs to. I own 4 dog cages to board them in if they require cage. I decided to do this for extra money and thought who the best at it me a vet tech that loves and adores pets. I know how to deal with all temperaments of dogs and cats. I can help people out that has a pet on insulin and or Medicine.

Thank you for boarding our puppie Nobie in your house. Aftet a week of boarding we picked him up healthy and happy. April was easy to reach, everything was set and done on time with no problems. Updates were received on daily basis with easy communication. Thank you again!

Due to flight issues I had to extend the stay for a day. April was kind enough to accommodate the last minute add on. Pooh was happy at pick up.

We were so grateful for the peace of mind that we got from April as she took care of Luna over the Thanksgiving holiday. We did try to get one update/check-in daily and that was really appreciated except for one day where it didn’t happen. I strongly imagine that was due to the holidays and that chaos, but that was the only thing worth noting. April was always very kind and sweet and our puppy was happy and healthy when we picked her up. Would book again.
