Best pet care boarding service

Pet care experience

Welcome to camp furry friends! I know that dogs deserve a high level of care and attention to be on their best behavior. They respond well to my confidence and calm personality. I am reliable and committed to providing the best service to your dog. I have five years of dog walking and pet sitting experience and my clients ere exceptionally happy. I follow instructions and keep dog's environment neat. Safety is also very important to me and I am qualified to administer any medication that your pet may need. I am dedicated to caring for your pet just like you would while you are away from home. Additional Services Curbside store pick-up If you are short on time and your pets needs food or other supplies for the stay, I offer an additional service for a $10 transportation fee: Pet supply curbside pickup at Petsmart and Walmart in Danvers and Petco in Peabody Please use the store checkout and contact me to coordinate a pickup time at least 2 days in advance. Behavior Treatment Plans If your dog suffers from depression, anxiety, boredom, over excitement, unpredictable behavior, problematic walking behavior, previous owner trauma, or other concerning behavior, I might be able to help! I will connect your pet with a virtual trainer and work with them for the first few sessions. Please note that I reserve the right to confine dogs to a pen if they seem dangerous or out of control. Owners have the option of canceling the stay at no cost if confinement is required. Medication is administered with my best effort, however it is not guaranteed if your pet resists with evasive or dangerous behavior.

Information Darlene T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any other special needs. I have worked with dogs who required medication, epilepsy treatment, post-surgical care, diapers, neck cones, medical socks, and training. I have also worked with dogs who were blind and deaf. Please tell me if they do not get along with other animals.

A typical day

Dogs enjoy outdoor breaks at 7am in yard, 10am walk, 3pm in yard, and 8pm walk. Please let me know if your dog prefers specific break times. While indoors, they can watch dog tv, but will not be under constant supervision. I also take a weekend trip to the park.
