Pet care experience

Your pets are cared for like ours.

I am an experienced dog and cat owner and I'm dedicated to caring for your pets as if they are my own. I currently have a labradoodle, elderly pomeranian, and a hedgehog. I have experience in administration of medications to dogs and cats. This includes managing our own pomeranian's epilepsy and hypothyroidism & regularly caring for diabetic cats requiring insulin injections and timed feedings. New boarding clients are asked to do a meet and greet if possible to ensure your pets will get along with ours. I work part time w/ a variable schedule and will communicate my schedule with you to make sure your pet is cared for as needed. Our back yard is fully fenced in with vinyl privacy fencing and locking gates. We have crates available if your dog requires one. Your dog will only be crated if requested as part of their home routine.
