Welcome to my PACK- Paw-fessional Animal Care & Kennel Services! As a purr-oud NJ LLC business owner, I devote 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to caring for your furry family and teaching pet education to paw-rents. There's an endless sea of pet sitters so how could we paw-ssibly be any different? Our PACK puts your fur baby's quality care fur-st! Every step they take, every full body shake, every single poo, every time they move, is a chance to teach them something new! I tie words into everything your furry kids do and use walks as an op-paw-tunity to teach heeling, recall, sit/stay, and that praise is the best treat they can get! Consistency is key to training though, so if you'd like to have the best mannered fur kid on the block, we're happy to have them in our PACK! We also offer one-on-one training, in addition to every fur kid-related service you can think of! My happiness comes from doing everything and anything for fur babies of any size ever since I got my first Doberman Pinscher at age 10. I used to work for pet company Chewy when I lived in South Florida and we constantly took pet education classes to understand the needs of various breeds both big and small. I learned the importance of staying pup-to-date on best pet practices to be a knowledgeable and fur-nominal pet sitter and paw-rent, always doing right by our loyal fur-iends. My love for animals isn't limited to just dogs and cats - I have an extensive depth and breadth of animal knowledge, including a background living and working on an animal farm! From milking cows and caring for their calf babies starting from the day they're born, raising pigs, chickens, and sheep, riding horses (and bucking heavy bales of hay), and even caring for special needs goats! You could say I'm a bit of an animal lover! Does your pup like other dogs? I have a 6-year-old Jack Russell named Bandit who loves anyone (and anything) he meets! I understand it's intimidating for dogs to step into another dog's home- there's so many strange smells that can be overwhelming to their sensitive snoots! If your fur kid is into making new fur-iends when I'm hosting them for daycare or sleepovers, I usually will have Bandit and your fur baby meet up right outside of my front door before I bring your little one in. Doing the ol' pleased-to-meet you butt sniff is a ter-ruff-ic way to get the kids acclimated to one another on neutral ground! After 5 minutes, I'll bring them in to let the belly rubs and rump scratches commence! I started PACK Services so that I could devote all of my time and attention to the sweet animals that deserve all the love we have to give. I'm available 24/7 for your fur babies and schedule everything around you and your furry family! Whether your dapper doggie needs to strut around to pee at weird hours or your famished fur baby demands meals on an hourly basis, just let me know what your pup likes best and I'll take care of the rest! Our PACK has quickly been filling up with canine clients 2-3 months in advance, so give us a bark and we'll do our best to accommodate you and your fur child! I do my best to work with everyone so let me know how the PACK can lend a paw so we can lavish your furry child with attention and affection. Do you have a furry child that is more comfortable staying at home while you're gone rather than staying in an unfamiliar place? Our PACK has you cov-fur-ed! At your home, you can expect the same non-stop care that I provide at my home, but without your sweet baby needing to pack a backpack! I live in a 3 bedroom house with a short flight of stairs (3 steps) leading up to the front door. Inside I have about 15 steps leading to the top floor, but most of the day is spent downstairs on a giant couch that could fit two 6' tall people laying down without bumping into each other! If you have an aging pup, don't worry, I'm happy to carry them as long as they don't weigh more than 50 lbs... it'll be my weight training for the day! I have a sunny, fenced-in backyard and another separately fenced in side yard with a wooden porch leading into a side entrance. Both yards are paw-fect for watching squirrels and working on tummy tans. If your fur baby needs privacy in my home or is a timid traveler in need of some space, I can keep my pup upstairs, or your fur kid is welcome to relax in it. I have an abundance of treat balls, pup puzzles of different skill levels, slow feeders, lick mats, and even a fun toy where the pups press a button and a machine (that I put about 15 feet away to get the kids moving) dispenses treats. I'll provide a list for you about what items I recommend bringing to ensure your fur child is com-fur-table and content. I also provide plenty of dog beds (I have at least 6!) a collection of dog toys and antler chews, feeding/water bowls, and have an EasyWalk harness in every size so that every walk is not only fun, but safe from Houdini-esque escape artists. Fur safety reasons, I also usually put a tracking collar on pups that tracks their exercise, sleep, and location! I use a magnetic mesh, dog-friendly patio door so our fur kids can meander outside to enjoy the fresh air at their leisure and come in whenever they want, and have 2 extra large "canine condos" in the room leading out to the yard just waiting for your little one to use! This is paws-down the fave-fur-ite spot fur our floofs! Each furry guest at PACK's home away from home can pick their own canine condo for lazy lounging. I want you and your fur baby to know "mi casa dog casa"! Sometimes I hold virtual training or new pet paw-rent classes remotely or have grooming appointments, but that's all usually held at my home! Once your fur baby is in my care, I'm able to take them out for walkies and potty trips whenever they'd like. For any house-sitting needs, rest assured I can be present for any length of time, whether your fur baby just needs to be checked on every 2-3 hours or needs round-the-clock care! For round-the-clock care, please be aware that I do go home for 1-2 hours at the most in the morning and late afternoon/early evening to give my fur baby Bandit some cuddles and may have a grooming appointment for an hour to 1.5 hours! Other than that, I'll be with your kiddos at all times. I do my best to treat our fur kids with the same unconditional loyalty and care that they give us, which includes ensuring their safety. My home is full outfitted for fur-iends of all sizes- I keep anything that isn't for dogs and cats in cupboards and drawers and have 24-hour doggo video cameras in and around my home so even while taking a shower, I can remotely watch the fur kids. The cameras have 2 way communication enabled so not only can I hear them, but they can hear me! I love to keep our fur kids mentally and physically stimulated during their staycations with me or while I'm house sitting. Not only are they exercised with either walkies or backyard playtime, I provide treat-dispensing balls and puzzles ranging from beginner level to advanced level. If you request our paw-dicure services, I have lick mats to keep them busy while they're getting their nails cut and shaped. There aren't many guarantees in life, but the one thing you can be certain of is that your sweet fur baby is getting pampered and treated to the best paw-ssible care whenever they're with PACK Services!
