Highlights
Pet care experience
ABK -Always Be Kind Animal Care
I’m a Registered Nurse with over 24 years of experience and a lifelong passion for animals. After transitioning out of nursing, I now work limited hours from home or a nearby office, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, dependable care for your pets. For your peace of mind, I maintain a current State of Arizona Fingerprint Clearance Card. I treat every pet as if they were my own and truly enjoy building trust with both animals and their families. My guiding principle is simple: always be kind, every day.

Ratings and reviews
Joelle was wonderful with our German Shepherd. They were patient, attentive, and made sure he was comfortable during the stay. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He came back happy and relaxed, and it was clear he was well cared for. We would happily use Joelle again and highly recommend them.
We receive so many updates and photos of our dog while he’s with Joelle and her family. Our dog feels like part of their family while he’s there and he loves all of the attention and affection. Thank you!!
Another wonderful, comforting stay with Joelle! Our longest away and it was such a comfort to have Joelle taking care of our Milly. So many great updates through pics and videos....it was obvious Milly felt right at home. Our biggest concern is only if Joelle ever stops dogsitting... they're the absolute best! 😁
Joelle and her family were wonderful! She sent lots of photos and gave updates often. Theo had such a blast and was very well-cared for! We will definitely book with her again.
Joelle and her family watched our Robbie while we were out of town for four days. During this time, she sent me videos and pictures constantly. It were my heart to see to be loved and cared for. He was so happy too! We will be using them in the future. We are so lucky to have found them.
Another great stay for our dog with Joelle. It is so evident Joelle and family make our dog feel like one of the family. So much love and attention!

Schedule
All dogs in our care are treated with love and attention, just as if they were our own. We are happy to welcome dogs who are friendly with children for overnight stays in our home. For in-home boarding, we prefer drop-offs between 7am and 4pm. These times allow your pet to settle in comfortably before bedtime. Pick-up and drop-off times are generally flexible and can be coordinated around our children’s schedules whenever possible.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We only take one pet/family at a time unless we have approval from a pet that has stayed with us prior. For any dog we are boarding we require one initial meet and greet with the owners present. This way we assure your loved one and our two school aged children are a good fit. We recently (Oct 2024) had to say goodbye to our beloved 10 yr old labrador reteiever, Pete. We have a very large fenced yard (half acre lot) with pool and pool fence. Dogs are welcome to swim with our supervision during the hot months. We prefer large dogs however will consider smaller breeds that are an exceptional fit with our two children. We have had great success with labs, goldens and doodles of various sizes. We allow animals in bed and on furniture, just like they are family.
A typical day
I will give high quality care to your pets. We integrate your pet as of our family while you are away. We keep things consistent while you are away to reduce the stress on your four legged friend.
