"Martha did a phenomenal job watching all 6 of my babies. I had no worries while they were in her care."

"Brooke is the best! She has sat for our very busy house of two cats and two very active dogs many times and everyone is always so well taken care of. Would highly recommend her to anyone!"

"I've trusted Alejandra with my dogs for at least 10 years. I first met her at a veterinary office, where she became my go-to for nail trims with my soul dog, Lynkin. He loved her! When she left, it just wasn't the same. As he got older, she started making house visits, and knowing he was in such loving, compassionate hands gave me so much peace of mind. Since then, she's been my go-to not only for nail trims but for any help I need with my dogs at home. After Lynkin passed, there was no question who I'd trust with my sweet boy, Nico, who's grown to 100lbs. She handles large breeds with confidence, patience, and genuine care. Alejandra is knowledgeable, professional, and truly loves the animals she works with. I can't recommend her enough!"

Frequently asked questions
Is my pet boarded in a kennel or a home?
Neither — VetterCare boarding means your pet stays in your vet tech's own home, not a kennel or cage/run. It's a comfortable, family environment with one-on-one attention, instead of being one of many dogs in a facility.
How is this different from a traditional boarding kennel?
Traditional kennels house multiple pets and are staffed by kennel attendants. VetterCare pairs your pet one-on-one with an experienced, background-checked vet tech in their own home, so there's individual attention and someone trained to notice health or stress issues early.
Can my pet's medication and feeding schedule be kept the same while boarding?
Yes — your vet tech follows your pet's normal routine and medication schedule exactly, so nothing changes just because you're away.
Will I get updates while my pet is boarding?
Yes, daily updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is settling in.
What if my pet has anxiety or gets stressed easily?
Because your vet tech is trained to recognize stress and behavioral signs, they can adjust — extra reassurance, a calmer pace, whatever your pet needs — in a way a general kennel attendant typically isn't trained to.
Do you require proof of vaccination before boarding?
For everyone's safety and comfort, we typically ask for proof of vaccination before a boarding stay. That said, we understand pets come to us in all kinds of circumstances, and we're happy to talk through your pet's specific situation directly — reach out and we'll figure out the right path together.
