    "Martha watched my great dane a lil while back. Not only is he a handful with anxiety and skin issues, but he’s also HUGE. Many sitters aren’t comfortable with all of that but it has never deterred Martha. and having my baby with somebody I trust, gives me peace of mind. Not to mention my pup loved her! Highly recommend Martha for any of your pets needs! She’s the best!!"

    Frequently asked questions

    Is my pet boarded in a kennel or a home in Arizona?

    Neither — VetterCare boarding means your pet stays in your veterinary professional'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 veterinary professional 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 veterinary professional 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. Your veterinary professional sends photo updates while you're away, so you know how your pet is settling in.

    What if my pet has anxiety or gets stressed easily?

    Because your veterinary professional 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 boarding. 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.
