Muddy Paws Boarding and Training
🐾 Exclusive Home Boarding Policy (Effective September 1, 2021) I will only host pets from one family at a time in my home. Any additional boarding requests for the same dates will be accommodated in my climate-controlled kennel building. 🐾 Vaccination Requirements To ensure the safety and well-being of all pets, the following vaccinations are required: ✔ Rabies ✔ Distemper ✔ Leptospirosis ✔ Parvovirus ✔ Bordetella Canine influenza is highly recommended. All vaccinations must be verified before a boarding request is confirmed. About Me Hi, I'm April! I have a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration with a focus on Small Business and Entrepreneurship (2016) and completed the Dog Obedience Trainer Course with Animal Behavior College in 2022. After spending nine years as a Military Working Dog Handler in the Air Force and training future Military Working Dogs for the Department of Defense, I turned my passion for dogs into a full-time career. I now own and operate a boarding and training facility on my property, providing top-quality care for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be in great hands! My home is always filled with pups, making it the perfect place for socialization. I have a Siberian Husky, three Belgian Malinois, and foster dogs from God’s Dogs Rescue. Boarding Options I offer additional spaces in my climate-controlled kennel building starting at $50/night. Your pup will receive the same high-quality care, with the only difference being that they will be housed in the kennel building instead of inside my home. If you’re interested in this option, let me know when booking! 🔹 Training Available! (Not included in boarding prices.) Why I Love Dog Sitting I've been passionate about dogs for as long as I can remember. In 2004, I became a Military Police K9 Handler and spent nine years working with dogs on active duty. I have the experience to help with training and teaching new tricks to dogs of all ages and skill levels. About My Yard My 6-acre property gives dogs plenty of space to run and play! For safety, I have several designated exercise/play areas: 🐕 50' x 100' fenced play area 🐕 72' x 60' fenced play area 🐕 72' x 100' fenced play area These spaces are perfect for dogs who love to run, play, and explore! For off-leash play outside the fenced areas, dogs must have a reliable recall or remain on a leash. I look forward to caring for your pup!

Ratings and reviews
April was very accommodating of my little old doggy and all his medications. She was very nice and even sent me pictures to ease my mind. ?
April was great. She took great care of our cat. She is very easy to work with, we will definitely continue to use her in the future.
April was great. She let us know how our cat was doing after each visit. It was our first time using Rover and we will definitely book her again.
Our dogs enjoyed their stay and were happy and relaxed when we went to pick them up. She was flexible with pickup and drop off times and worked with us when our plans changed. She sent picture updates and was quick to respond anytime we contacted her. Our boys can’t wait to go back!
Awesome service! Highly recommend!
She took great care of my two Weims and kept me updated!

A typical day
Where We'll Take Our Walks With 6 acres of land, your pup will have plenty of space to play fetch, run, and stretch their legs! If they need to stay on a leash, we can still explore the property together, giving them a chance to take in all the sights and smells. Your Dog’s Sleeping Arrangement For safety reasons, I prefer to secure dogs anytime they are unsupervised until I feel confident they can have more freedom. This ensures their well-being and prevents any potential damage to my property. Time I'll Spend with Your Dog I’ll spend as much time with your pup as my schedule allows! While there may be times when I’m away for a few hours, making sure your dog has a fun, enriching, and comfortable experience is always my top priority.
