Information Peggy W. would like to know about your pet

Dogs must be up to date on vaccines (Rabies, Parvo, Bordatella, Distemper, Influenza) and be on flea/tick preventatives to board in my home. I require all dogs to be crate trained in the event I need to crate during feeding time (I feed everyone separately to avoid altercations).

A typical day

Every dog is different and has their own personalities. I like to get to know a dog to see how they will react to me. Some are super playful and want to romp around the whole time which is always fun. Some just want to relax and have a companion. Some are cat-like and prefer alone time. I do enjoy taking dogs to the park but understand this isn't for every dog. I can do some basic training with your dog. Always easier to do with puppies of course =)

Pet care experience

I love all animals. I grew up on a farm with all kinds. I currently have a horse, donkey, parrots and tortoises. I have vet tech experience from my time working at veterinary hospitals and zoos. I am experienced in giving medications, injections and other special needs care to animals. I am very experienced with everything from cats and dogs to exotics, equine and livestock. I can handle any situation calmly to assure the safety and proper care of your pet(s). With reasonable notice, I can work your pet's needs into my daily or weekly routine. I work from home so my hours are very flexible. Whether in my home or yours, your animals will be treated as my own. I am used to following detailed instructions to meet each animal's unique needs. I am pretty flexible with my schedule. Please reach out to me so that I can do my best to accommodate your requests and needs. **Pickup/Dropoff Times for Boarding, Day Care and Overnights** Please make arrangements to drop off or pick up your pet(s) after 8:00am and before 6:00pm. Earlier/later times are upon approval only and may be subject to additional fee. **Boarding Checkout Time** Checkout time must be by 11am the following morning or additional rate will apply. I have 5 acres of gorgeous fenced property for your dog(s) to run and enjoy. They would be treated like family. I never board more than a handful of dogs at a time. If your dog is not social, I am able to accommodate and offer exclusive boarding options as well. Due to COVID-19 protocols, tours of the inside of my home are not permitted. I do however welcome Clients to come by and tour my beautiful farm and property.

A BIG THANK YOU to Peggy for taking such good care of my puppies. Peggy Smith is by far first in our minds when we need someone to take care out pet. We have use her services in many occasions, also for a long time period of three weeks. While we were away she always keep communication open sending videos and photos of our lovely puppy. Her house is very clean and tidy. For us have someone that we can truly trust, eliminate the stress of leaving my dog behind. Above all, Peggy is very trustworthy, we also used her service to visit our home. My dogs and birds love her very much. We loved how Peggy pays attention to details. She even play ball just like my puppy likes. Call her today!! We would be happy to provide personal references upon request. Claudia and Ben Florida,FL

Peggy is a wonderful choice to make if you need pet care. She helped us out of a sticky situation with our kitties being boarded elsewhere. We have used her twice. The first time when our kitties were about 4 months old she took them in. The second time recently doing home visits every day. She takes the stress out of leaving your pets. You get a daily update and video which really helps. You can trust your pets are in good hands with Peggy.
