Pet safety is my number one priority. That being said, I REQUIRE proof of vaccinations before boarding. I require that every boarding dog with me has a Rabies, Distemper Combo (DHPP, DHLPP, DAPP), and preferably also a Bordetella. These must have been administered 2 weeks prior to their stay (unless previously vaccinated). My yard is a little under a half an acre, fenced in with a vinyl privacy fence. My house is 1500 sq ft which dogs get a free roam of! When it is warm out I have a pool for the dogs, splash pad, outdoor toys, and more! I have dogs of my own, all of which love meeting new friends! I have several years managing dog play groups and dog daycare, I am extremely knowledgeable in dog body language. My house is well equipped for separating dogs as well if needed. I have what I call the “doggy play room” set up downstairs in my house which has been slowly expanding. As of right now I have foam flooring for padded protection, tons of toys and enrichment options, and large pen-style set ups for kenneling as needed if dogs are too stressed or just need time to rest and nap. When caring for pet’s in people’s homes, I am courteous and compassionate. I follow instructions well and listen to how owners feel their pet would most appreciate my care. I follow feeding schedules exactly and have done many different medications of pets including insulin, liquid medications, capsule pills, and tablets. With several years of experience in veterinary assisting and medical boarding, I am completely comfortable caring for pets with more extensive medical needs!
