Our special needs care is for those pets who don’t fit the usual mold - whether they’re old, anxious, sick, or just tiny babies who need round-the-clock looking after. ### Who We Care For - Elderly pets who just want a soft bed and slow walks. Some of our boarders have been 18 years old and just needed a gentle place to nap. - Nervous or shy pets. We’re patient - if your pet needs a week to even sniff us, that’s fine. No pressure here. - Puppies and kittens. Our Puppy Unit has strict puppy care protocols, with frequent meals, cleaning, and lots of naps. - Pets recovering from injury or illness. We’re used to helping post-surgery pets who aren’t ready for home yet. ### Our Way of Doing Things - We let pets come to us at their own pace. No forced cuddles, no loud noises. - Each pet gets their own clean, comfy kennel. Hygiene is non-negotiable. - You get video updates twice a day, so you know your pet is safe. - Our team is trained for all sorts of quirks, meds, and moods - it’s not just a job for us.
