Veterinary Technician & Animal Love

I am a veterinary technician and I take pet's health and happiness very seriously. I am CPR/First Aid certified for cats and dogs. I have 3 children ages 9, 8, and 4 that are very gentle with my dogs and cat. My dogs and cat and fully vaccinated and good with other animals. They love to play together also. I love all animals. I recently graduated from vet tech school but i have been a tech for 4 years. I am a certified dog trainer and I have taken many courses on dog social ques. I am so excited to meet your doggie. I always treat all dogs with respect and love because I know I would want my puppy treated the same way.

Dava took such good care of Java during a week while I attended a conference in Carlisle, PA. She sent pictures every day. Also gave Java allergy meds after asking me! Dava was awesome!

I really appreciate the last minute boarding. But wasn’t too pleased with the lack of communication throughout stay. When dropping zoey off the lady was sleeping even though we confirmed drop off time multiple times. Took about 20 min to find my dogs leash at pick up and for some reason her blanket was separated from her cage. Also Zoey had a terrible smell to her. I always make sure she’s groomed and cleaned before any boarding. I picked her up and she looked and smelled a mess. She was also very antsy like she didn’t recognize me. I think the amount of pets and people in the house was too much for her.

Bizu had a wonderful time at Dava’s. Daily pictures or videos made our days out even smoother. He was treated like a member of the family. Thanks!

Lucé appeared to enjoy her days with Dava and her family. Dava was flexible with drop off and pick up and also sent us adorable pictures of Lucé

Dava took good care of my dog and always look forward for daily pictures. I would definitely trust her to take care of my dog again.

Dava visited my cat while I was away for awhile, and the first night I was back, the cat sat near the door for almost an hour around the time of the visits, presumably waiting for her. Dava kept her fed, watered, and in contact with other life, and sent a variety of photos.
