History
I've been working with animals my entire life (dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, and birds). I spent 2 years working as a veterinary assistant and 6 years fostering and training rescue dogs to prepare them for adoption as well as working with the dogs and their families post-adoption. I am currently a training assistant at the Napa Valley Dog Training Club. Animals are my happy place and it felt natural for me to start a business focusing on them. Lil' Rascals Pet Care began because a family in a puppy training class that I was assisting asked for referrals for a kennel. It bothered me to think of their sweet pup in a kennel instead of a cozy home environment so I offered to care for her in my home. Soon others were asking me to board their dogs and so I set everything up from licensing to insurance and Lil' Rascals was officially begun in July 2015. I did the pet care work around my full time office job for 2 years but I am now working full time with the animals.
Specialties
My business specializes in daycare and boarding for small dogs (25 lbs and under) in my home. Doggy daycare is available 9am-5pm on Monday through Saturday. Everything at my home starts with play dates. Socialization is important for all dogs and extremely important for puppies. And play dates are always free! Dogs visiting for play dates, daycare, or boarding must be dog friendly. Dogs coming for daycare or boarding must be crate trained. Dogs are crated overnight and if I have to be away from the house during the day. Your dog(s) must visit my home and meet me and my dogs prior to scheduling their first stay. Remember that your dog(s) may require more than one play date to feel comfortable with me, my animals, and my home. Their comfort is extremely important to me. Don't wait - schedule your free play date today!
