Safety, trust & environment

In my home, we have two cats, Onyx and Teddy, a Standard Poodle named Morty, as well as frogs and a hamster. All pets are well cared for and accustomed to being around other animals. For safety and comfort, dogs are crated at bedtime and during the rare occasions when no one is home. Crating helps ensure a secure environment and peace of mind for both pets and owners. You are welcome to bring your own crate or playpen if preferred, and I also have extras available. Please feel free to let me know if you have any concerns or special requests regarding crating.

Information Summer D. would like to know about your pet

For the health and comfort of all pets in my care, I kindly ask that dogs be free of fleas prior to their stay and up to date on all vaccinations. Please let me know in advance if your pet has any special needs, medical requirements, dietary restrictions, or behavioral considerations. I am happy to accommodate and provide personalized care whenever possible. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your pet’s routine, feel free to reach out. I look forward to caring for your furry family member!

A typical day

The dogs in my care are welcome to enjoy all areas of my home and are allowed on the furniture, creating a comfortable, home-like environment. My three sons are animal lovers and enjoy spending time giving extra attention and affection to our furry guests . Each day includes 3–4 walks, along with plenty of supervised time in our fenced backyard (weather permitting) for play and exercise. We enjoy activities such as tug-of-war and fetch, and I provide a variety of safe chew toys to keep dogs happy and engaged.

A Loving Home Away From Home ❤

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Summer, and I am a dedicated animal caregiver with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and small animals. I also grew up helping care for animals on my grandfather’s farm in Missouri, which helped foster my deep passion and respect for animal care. I am experienced in administering vaccines, providing oral medications, and performing basic wound care. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they receive attentive, loving, and responsible care at all times. Boarding Policies: • I do not accept pit bull–type dogs for boarding. • Drop-offs and pick-ups must occur within the agreed-upon time window. • A $25 late fee will apply if you are more than 30 minutes late for drop-off without prior approval. • If your dog is not dropped off by 8:00 PM, you will need to either wait until the next business day for drop-off or cancel the booking on your end, which may be subject to cancellation fees according to platform policy. • Owners are required to provide their dog’s food for the duration of their stay to help maintain consistency in their diet and avoid digestive upset. If food is not provided, a $30 supply fee will be added to the booking to cover food provided during their stay. Thank you for your understanding and for trusting me with your pets. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every animal in my care.

Summer was awesome! She communicated and sent pics and videos of My little Princess(dog) She’s usually timid around other dogs and people. Summer sent pics within 30m and Princess was very comfortable and was hanging out with her dog. Thank you Summer! Will definitely use you again!
