Special Needs Dogs Welcome

Pet care experience

Karyl's Creature Comforts NOW in Clearlake, CA. We offer Boarding, Daycare, Home Visits, and Overnight Homestays. **All dogs must be fully vaccinated, and proof of current vaccinations must be presented.* **For existing Bay Area Clients, I am willing to travel back to the Bay Area to do Boarding & Homestays. There is an additional $25-$50 travel fee.** My family and I offer excellent, loving pet care in our home. We have pet-friendly furniture. I also can care for your pet/s in your home. I was a veterinary assistant before I married and have kept up to date on pet health issues. I can accept special needs pets and can administer pills, do wound care, injections & sub-Q fluids. I also can care for your pet/s in your home. (Additional fees MAY apply) I have a great deal of experience with many types of animals, inc. farm animals, birds & reptiles. I have experience in training dogs for agility, sledding, tracking, packing, herding, and teaching tricks. Between myself, husband Steve, and roommate Bonnie, we can offer nearly 24/7 supervision. Our dogs are Bridget, a mini Aussie, and Vir a full-size Aussie/Border collie cross. At our Livermore house, our son Robert has a Corgi, named Gifft, we have 2 cats, Kirk and Khan, that have been raised around dogs. Kirk and Khan are good with polite dogs.

Karyl was wonderful to work with. She took great care of both of my puppies while I was gone. It was a last minute trip and she listened to my instructions and followed them. I will definitely use her again.

Karyl knows what she's doing. Our furbaby is very attached to us and wasn't exactly himself when we left him. Not only did she handle it well, but she remained calm and worked with us when our flight home was cancelled due to bad weather. We are thankful we found someone with her experience, as we had never left our pups with anyone but family before. Thank you so much, Karyl!

I don’t know what I would do without Karyl! I have elderly dogs who are experiencing severe health issues, she is so great with them. Makes them feel loved when I can’t be with them!

Information Karyl F. would like to know about your pet

Dogs must have good recall & be safe around cats. Must play well with other dogs. I would also like to know of any history of escaping yards, charging doorways, etc. Also, any personality quirks, fear/phobias, things we can do to help comfort shy dogs, food allergies/if they usually don't eat in new situations. Must be vaccinated and on flea/tick control.

A typical day

We have a fenced 5-acre property with 300ft of lake frontage, 2 boat ramps. One half of the property is level and the other half goes uphill. Lots of areas for hiking, sniffing, and great runs. I have experience in training dog agility, sledding, tracking, packing, herding, and teaching tricks.
