Information Nakayla B. would like to know about your pet

I'm comfortable with almost all dogs that I come in contact with; however, I'm not comfortable caring for dogs with extreme separation anxiety &/or aggressive behaviors.

A typical day

Daily routines change based upon the amount of dogs I'm caring for & their needs. A typical day may consist of a potty break, breakfast, another potty break, play & other fun indoor activities, then repeat for lunch & dinner. Dogs are taken outside for potty breaks every 2 hours.

Pet care experience

I own & operate Champ STRONG Kennels, a small capacity, in home boarding business where dogs are treated like family. They can enjoy supervised indoor play, outdoor time in my fenced backyard, & regular potty breaks every 2 hours. I follow each dog's individual routine based on the information you provide prior to their stay, including feeding schedules, medications, & any special care instructions. For safety, dogs are separated during feeding & may be kenneled for sleeping, rest periods, or arrivals & departures when appropriate. My limited capacity allows me to provide each dog with plenty of attention & care. I've spent over 25 years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, & personalities. My business was inspired by my Boston Terrier, Champ, whose legacy lives on through the care I provide every dog that stays with me. Please note: I require all new clients to book a daycare appointment as a trial before I can accept a boarding reservation. This helps ensure your dog is comfortable in my home environment & is a good fit.

Whiskey loved his stay with Nakayla. She is very professional and communicative. Sent me lots of photos which kept my mind at ease. Would definitely recommend her and would use her services very soon to take care of Whiskey!

Nakayla was the perfect choice for our Pritzie's 1st boarding and we will definitely be using her again in the near future.

Nakayla was a wonderful sitter for Hugo. She was very punctual in picking him up and dropping him off. She had all the equipment for his travels. She kept me informed daily with pics , which I loved. I could tell that he was very happy. I told her I was afraid he would not want to come back home. Lol. I will be using her services again.

Nakayla did an awesome job with Blu. It was our first time leaving him and he couldn't have been in better hands. If Nakayla is available during our away time, that's where Blu will be ?

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
