Dog Boarding Nelson

“Erin was fantastic as always. My girl is always so excited to hang out at her house with the other dogs and her boys. She comes home so worn out from having the best time. We really appreciate everything she does to keep our girl safe and happy while we are away. So grateful”

“This was the first time I used Jessica. She sent me a message early on that Molly was doing good. She was not anxious at all she was settling in very well. She also sent pics of her playing. I did not worry at all. When we picked her up she looked very comfortable. She was happy to see us but not pulling us out the door. She seemed very comfortable there. Jessica did an amazing job I will definitely use her again.”

“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”

“I have no doubt that Patricia loved our dog as her own while we were away. She communicated with me while we were away and sent pictures of the fun things they were doing together. She is a true dog lover and I would for sure hire her again!”

“Ralph is absolutely amazing. The biggest thing for me is that Ralph never ever made me feel like a bother with any questions that I had from the moment I reached out to him to book till when he actually watched my Halle. He sent me pictures of my Halle while watching her and is just overall a great vibes kind of guy. Definitely love and plan to have him watch our baby girl again. Thanks Ralph for being awesome.”

“Lynda and Walter were amazing! Selena, my pup, had such a good time boarding with them that she was sad to leave. They sent us pictures regularly, and it was so sweet to see her playing and interacting with other dogs. They treat their boarders like their own dogs, and are very attentive to making sure that the dogs get along well with each other. I would highly recommend their services.”

“Kristen was amazing! She kept us up to date on how everything was going. She also sent pictures and went above and beyond to make our puppies feel comfortable! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! Thank you for making this such a wonderful experience!”

About: PROFESSIONAL PET CARE | 10+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE | CPR & FIRST AID CERTIFIED Hi, I'm Maddy! I'm the owner of Blue Birch Pet Care & Training, providing professional, fully insured pet care backed by over a decade of hands-on experience with domestic, exotic, and farm animals. Pet care is my profession, not a side job. My background includes zoology, animal behavior, veterinary-related education, specialized handling, and experience with animals of all ages, species, and care requirements. MY EXPERIENCE & SPECIALTIES - Behavior & Training: Positive reinforcement and fear free training, behavior management and rehabilitation, enrichment, and individualized training support for all needs. - Medical & Special-Needs Care: Medical rehabilitation, medication administration, neonatal and postnatal care, bottle/syringe feeding, senior care, mobility assistance, emergency care, and wildlife rehabilitation - Emergency Preparedness: Pet CPR and first aid certification, with an emphasis on prevention, safety, and prompt communication. - Comprehensive Pet Care: Walking, drop-ins, boarding, daycare, overnight house sitting, grooming, and pet transportation. - All Species Welcome: Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, amphibians, birds/fowl, exotic pets, and small or large farm animals. SAFETY, ACCOUNTABILITY & COMMUNICATION I prioritize individualized care, safe handling, established routines, and detailed communication. I utilize GPS tracking and a vehicle dashcam for professional accountability. I also encourage clients to consider exterior security cameras for additional peace of mind. For boarding and daycare, I prioritize appropriate supervision, secure environments, and each animal's individual comfort and safety. I offer private daycare and boarding, or group, with or without socialization with the other animals. SPECIALIZED ANIMAL CARE & PRICING I welcome inquiries for exotic pets, livestock, poultry, and animals requiring specialized medical or behavioral support. Please contact me to discuss your pet's needs, availability, and individualized pricing. Your pet's physical and emotional well-being is my priority. I understand the trust involved in choosing a caregiver and am committed to providing knowledgeable, dependable, compassionate care you can feel confident in. I have a highly flexible schedule and can accommodate last-minute changes as needed. Since my college coursework is asynchronous, I can adapt my work to fit around your schedule seamlessly. As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.

“We needed a new pet sitter for our Harley and we are so pleased to have found Kayti! She frequently updated us along with pictures which I really liked. Harley came back SO tired from playing. We will definitely be using Kayti again next time we go out of town!”

“This was my first time using the Rover app and I was very apprehensive in leaving my pup (4+ year old Mini Aussie) for an extended period of time with someone I hadn't met. Nikki was beyond helpful in walking me through the process, scheduling a meet and greet, keeping me updated with pictures and statuses through the weekend and putting my overactive mind at ease. She was true to her word in every sense of the way and I will certainly be contacting her first with all of my future needs. Augie and I are lucky to have found her.”

Dan L.

“Cody has never been happy when we have had to leave him until ordan! She was great! Sent pics and we came home to. happy healthy dog for the first time!”
