What Texas pet parents say
Real reviews from Google
"Anna is kind, prompt at responding and very knowledge about animals. Feel very comfortable and at peace with leaving the dogs in her care!"
"Becca was extremely helpful. She was able to fit us in at a moments notice when we couldn't find a boarding facility for our 3 dogs. Thank you, we will definitely be calling again."
"Becca Pena cared for our elder pug over a three-day period. Becca did an excellent job. She was kind, caring, and attentive to our dog's needs. Becca went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable, particularly displaying excellent trouble solving skills when our dog was being uncooperative. She also was kind and attentive to our other dog who was not part of the service. We highly recommend Becca, particularly if you have an older pet, or one that has special daily needs."
"Cassie was extremely helpful! She helped us at the last minute. She made our lives so much easier and gave us reassurance when we needed it. We just loved getting cared for by Cassie."
"Best experience, my cat immediately loved Becca Pena. Would definitely recommend and she’s always available in a pinch."
"Cassie was amazing when she watched our dogs while we were away!"
Frequently asked questions
Is my pet boarded in a kennel or a home in Texas?
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.
