* REQUIRED: - For the safety of myself and any other animals present at my home during the duration of service, I require full vaccination and preventative records. The vaccines I require are rabies, distemper, and canine parvovirus, and the preventatives I require are heartworm and flea and tick preventatives. - Vaccines that are recommended but not required are Lyme disease, leptospirosis, and canine influenza. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: **I may be caring for 2-4 animals at any given time, be it through boarding or daycare. As a safety precaution, I never introduce a first-time dog to other dogs I have not personally met first.** ** Upon request, I can limit my services to one family at a time at an increased price due to the singularly focused care of your pet and the blocking of my remaining boarding/daycare schedule. ** I can provide injections and specialty medical care for your pets. While I do not commonly provide medical care to animals, I’ve been a medic for 16+ years, treating a variety of conditions on humans, so I am confident of my ability to provide care and attention to your pet. Please provide clear instructions for medications (route, dose, site, etc.) or any other medical care. **I occasionally foster animals, but I only foster dogs that are kid—and dog-friendly and show no signs of aggression. If I foster a cat, they are kept in a separate space and never interact with boarding dogs/cats. I have a HUGE fenced-in backyard, a dog/cat-proof home, and a 4-year-old neutered GSD-mix (55 lbs) who loves dogs and cats (even though most cats want nothing to do with him :D ). Your pet can come and get some energy out with us! I love to give the little and older pets cuddles and places to relax, and for the more active pets, we will go on walks, hikes, or runs and give lots of cuddles! I have two kids (10 & 12) who also have a lot of experience with animals, but please let me know before booking if you have a kid-reactive pet. I may still be able to provide care for them on the days my kids are not in the home, but that would need to be coordinated prior. I am very flexible and accommodating regarding food preferences, bathing, bed routines, etc. I am also comfortable caring for pets, still working on their training and manners, and some reactive pets (depending on the cause and level of reactivity). All pets are fed separately to prevent any resource guarding. If I need to leave the home (store, run, dog walk, children's extracurriculars, etc.), all pets are kept separate from one another and on camera for easy supervision when I am away. Again, a meet and greet is REQUIRED prior to booking to ensure your pet and I (and my pup) will be a good fit. Rest assured that your fur baby will be in great hands!!

Our activities will be based on your pet's needs. If your pet just needs to lounge and relax I have ample space inside and outside! For exercise, they will be taken on leisurely walks and have plenty of time to smell and examine their surroundings. If you have a high-energy pet who needs to stay on the go, I can provide that as well! I like to take these pups on long walks, hikes, and runs (if they are leash-trained for running)!
