Vacation Care In Your Own Home:


Did you board your dog during your last vacation? Did your dog come home stressed? Did you feel guilty leaving him or her in a foreign environment while you enjoyed your vacation? Did you realize you actually have an alternative to boarding your dog?

Give your dog the luxury of staying at home in his or her own environment the next time you travel. By choosing to have your beloved pet stay home and be cared for in his or her own comfortable environment eases any tensions or fears that your pet may experience. Kennels can be noisey and feature strange smells which can only magnify your pet's anxieties.

Making the decision to leave your pet at home while you vacation or travel for business eliminates the hustle and bustle of having to transport your dog to the kennel and the risk of illness to your pet. Pets can potentially pick up an airborne illness from other canines while being boarded.

So why risk any of this when you don't have to? So many pet owners do not realize that there is another alternative to boarding.

We visit 3 times per day (30 min. visits at each visit), once in the morning, again between 3:30p-5:30p for dinner and finally at bedtime. The timing structure is comparable to exactly what you would do for your dog. With each 30 minute visit, we will give fresh water, treats, play and socialize with your dog one on one. Your dog will get a walk and be fed according to the schedule that you provide. We will brush your dog if needed and administer any oral medications if required. We also have specific protocols for making your house look no different than when you are home for security reasons. We will bring in your newspapers, your mail and alternate lights inside and outside your home to give your home an "inhabited look".

With Critter Nannies we pride ourselves on our professional, responsible high quality of care. In addition, we always relay to our clients via detailed written reports "left at each visit", how their pet enjoyed their time with us. Our clients enjoy coming home to our Critter Nannies informative written reports. You will have a record of potty breaks, and all of the fun moments we have shared with your dog.

A majority of dogs do wonderful with 3 visits in a given day. If you feel your pet would enjoy a fourth visit that is not a problem at all, we will adjust the schedule to suit.
