Pet Boarding Norwood Young America

“Awesome overall experience for us as owners and for our pet Theo. He enjoyed his stay and Regina made great efforts to send updates throughout the stay. Definitely will use her services again in the future!”

“Magnolia had the best 10-day vacation with Kj and Bailey! This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better match. The care, communication, and love exceeded our expectations. Seeing Mag draped across Kj's lap while she worked on her computer was absolutely priceless. My family loved the frequent updates and photos of their walks, playtime with her new buddy Bailey, and even bath time. I was honestly worried she wouldn't want to come home! What incredible peace of mind during our trip to Spain. When I pulled up to the house after our trip, seeing Magnolia so happy, content, and relaxed on the porch was the perfect welcome home. The transition back to our routine has been seamless—such a noticeable difference from our past kennel experiences. She's been remarkably calm and well-behaved. Kj provided exactly the kind of loving, home-based care we were hoping to find. Highly recommend!”

“Kelly is fantastic! My dog Minnow loves going to Kelly’s to stay & play with her greyhound friends! We’ve rebooked many times & will continue to do so! 😊”

Lindy N.

“Hank had a lovely time, thanks for all the updates!”

Tracy D.

“Ashley took such great care of our fur baby Ginger, she sent us photos everyday of them walking, going to the park, hanging out, it was really nice hearing and seeing how she was doing while we were away. I would highly recommend Ashley, we’ll definitely be using her again.”

Jennifer M.

“Brenna was a great communicator and our Frenchie appeared very comfortable at her house. We enjoyed our vacation more knowing he was being cared for in a dog loving home, instead of at a kennel. Thank you Brenna!”

Nicole V.

“Andrea is amazing! She is very open to our schedule and sends a bunch of pictures of our puppy having a wonderful time with her family, we know that Monty is in great hands when Andrea is watching him!!”

Mallory K.

“Kiersa did a great job. Boodles was a bit anxious when we left but she was able to settle her down. When it was time for Bed, Boodles didn't want to leave sight of the front door and so Kiersa snuggled in and slept with Boodles on the couch. We will use her again, she’s very sweet”

Veronique M.

“I’m very glad I found Jana for our dog.Jana and her kids took wonderful care of our dog and gave him lots of love and attention, which he loves. She sent regular photos and accommodated our late night flight. They have a great house and yard for pups to play.”

Kyle R.

“Stacey was such a GREAT FIND. We were extremely happy with the care our Sasha received. We received photos of our little Sasha and updates almost daily. She cared for her as if her own. I will certainly reach out again for future trips.”

Tracey M.

“I cannot say enough good things about Tracy. I was genuinely so nervous boarding my dogs for the first time, and from the very beginning she made me feel completely at ease. She was warm, patient, reassuring, and so communicative the entire time. What really stood out to me is how naturally comfortable my dogs were with her. You can tell she truly understands animals and cares about them like they’re her own. She sent updates and photos, answered my anxious first-time-boarder questions with so much kindness, and made the whole experience feel safe and personal. Finding someone you can actually trust with your dogs is huge, and Tracy is absolutely that person. I’m so grateful we found her and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”

About: As a former Kennel Supervisor, Kennel Attendant and Certified Pet Care Professional, I've got years of experience working with pets both in private homes as well as boarding/daycare facilities. I'm super familiar with dogs, but have also cared for more cats than I can remember- and even some rats! I was previously certified in Animal (canine and feline) CPR through the Red Cross as well as trained in basic diagnostics for medical emergencies. I'm comfortable administering various medications to both cats and dogs, including oral, topical, and intravenous medicine. I've cared for kittens, puppies, dogs of every size, temperamental animals, and quite a few senior dogs and cats. Special diets and or feeding rituals are just fine with me, every animal is different. I'll be the first to let you know if I don't think I'm the right fit for your pet, but I'm always willing to do a meet and greet with a client. Other than drop-ins to feed, water, change litter boxes and play for awhile, I walk dogs (weather permitting) and can potentially board canines in my home if they get along with my own pups. *I can pass a background check and provide references upon request* Most weekdays I'm available to drop in to homes prior to 2pm, but this can change due to the needs of in home daycare or dogs I'm boarding. Feel free to inquire about whatever services you need, I'll do my best to work with you! If you board with me the routine for my dogs is always the same- they get fed right around 6am and 6pm, with bathroom breaks immediately after, and then as needed throughout the day. Walks (if requested) usually occur around midday, with occasional trips down to the River Valley (a mile from my house) if the weather is nice enough to explore the nature preserve. After dinner I try to make sure everyone is comfortable enough to wind down for the evening, but we can still play indoors if we need to. Dogs are welcome to sleep in crates or in our own bed, as long as there's room! For drop-ins or dog walking services, I'll always bring my own first aid supplies (styptic powder, liquid bandage, tick removers, hydrocortisone spray, gauze etc.) and if none are provided, I have cleaning supplies for accidents as well. If your pet is allergic to any cleaners or first aid products please let me know. I'm always respectful of clients homes and privacy, and am happy to send you a picture of your pet during an appointment for full transparency, whether I'm walking your dog or babysitting them! I also totally understand if you have cameras in your home, I do as well. If you board or book a daycare service in my home, please know I have 2 "medium" "pittie" mixes- (they're just mutts with less hair) Panda is 5 and a beagle mix (50lbs F/S), and Peanut (60lbs M/N) is about 15 and a boxer mix. Panda is incredibly well socialized and LOVES fetch. Peanut is socialized but is very much an old man who prefers to sleep on the couch... like all the time. They've each had numerous foster brothers and sisters of all sizes, and are e-collar trained, so behavior on their end should never be an issue for your dog. I have a split level home that can securely board multiple dogs, and house them depending on their needs. I also have a fenced in deck, but not yard, though we have about a 1/4 acre lot in a quiet residential area and are working on making a dog run! Any boarding dog would be taken out to potty on a leash, preferably with a harness provided by the owner. I have a crate large enough for most (80lbs~) big dogs, but I'd still recommend bringing your own if possible. The only other person present in my home would be my husband, who possibly loves dogs even more than me(?) and is always happy to play with them! I'll never have strangers or children present in our home while your pet is staying with us.

“This was my first time leaving my dogs with someone outside of our family! They did great! I got daily photo updates and Laura made sure they were attended to! Her entire family pitched in to make sure my dogs felt loved and at home. Thank you, Laura for taking such good care of my boys!”

Julie S.

“Thank you, Sylvia for taking care of my rescue dog, Sylvie! Sylvia was very open to work with my dog who can be reactive at times. She sent me a short daily update with photo for every day my dog was with her; she did well at Sylvia's house in the calm environment!”

Cory C.

“Junior was very happy 😂”

Michael B.

“Kristen helped ease some of my anxiety after having to leave our newly rescued pup for a few days. She provided pictures and updates and Gus seemed to have a wonderful time!”

Ashley S.

“Kay goes above and beyond. I really appreciate her attentiveness while caring for our senior, hospice dog. I also appreciate that someone will be home while he is in her care. We also really enjoy seeing her family and chatting during drop off and pick up.”

Kelly S.

“Very flexible and understanding. I had a significant flight delay and couldn't pick up as planned and she allowed me to pick up the next AM with no issue. Prompt communications!”

Brooke R.

“We were very happy with Mochi's stay at Alicia and Simon's. They sent us pictures and videos and communicated with us the entire time we were gone. Mochi was so sad to leave their house and must have had fun because he has pretty much been sleeping since he got back!”

Carly D.

“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”
