Rest assured your pets will be well taken care of with me! I’m a veterinary technician who specializes in emergency and critical care, my hours are extremely flexible and I can provide attentive round the clock care to your pets. Having worked at both major 24 hr veterinary ER and specialty centers on island, I have extensive knowledge and experience when it comes to animal medicine and my rate reflects that. I offer medical boarding for any special needs pets at no additional charge and will ensure any paraplegic kiddos remain clean and regularly bathed. Medication administration is included if necessary as we I commonly take on senior or chronic illness pets. I live in a duplex style house in Aiea with a shared unfenced yard we use with long leads. We have a small fenced area right outside our door that we have set up with raised and perforated turf tiles to allow immediate access to bathroom breaks if we can’t make it out for a walk right away. (We clean this area after every potty to ensure it stays clean as dogs also like to use this area to sunbathe). Our two story home is ideal for both pets that love other animals and those that don’t. I have specialized in behavior modification for years so I regularly take on pets that have their own quirks. We are able to keep dogs separate while they acclimate to their new surroundings without crating them. However, we do ask that you provide a crate if your dog is used to that. I have 4 dogs of my own, 2 are trained service dogs and the other 2 are well behaved (but energetic) pups who all love other dogs. They have been my assistants for behavior modification when we work on reactivity in other dogs. My dogs are all crate trained and go in their crates to sleep or if we need to run an errand with the exception of my female, Julep. She typically stays out in the house when we leave unless one of our boarding dogs needs to roam. Boarding in our homes means that your dogs will get 2 long walks a day (I’m currently in a leg immobilizer so I am limited in the physical exercise I can provide outside) from my wonderful boyfriend who works for HFD. They will have 24/7 access to potty breaks and will not be left unattended for more than 4 hours. For everyone’s safety, we crate dogs if we are gone. Dogs unable to be crated can be left out either downstairs or upstairs, separated by a gate. We do not allow dogs from different families to stay out together unattended, however if you are boarding more than 1 of your own dogs who cannot be crated and/or are trusted to be left out together we can accommodate that. We have 24/7 2-way audio cameras in the house to ensure everyone’s safety if I do need to run out for anything. We have plenty of treats, toys, and puzzles to keep everyone entertained throughout the day and love taking well behaved and socialized dogs to Moanalua off leash dog park or Kuliouou beach park.
