About: All throughout my youth and young adult years I have been taking care of dogs. I have had my own pet dogs, have watched over various family member’s dogs, and have helped my friends look after their dogs. Some of the different dogs I have worked with include older dogs, blind dogs, puppies, small dogs, big dogs, and more judged breeds like pit bulls and dobermans. I love dogs and genuinely will care for them with pure love. I am currently not working or going to school. I would have availability for overnight pet-sitting from Wednesdays through Sundays. I am also available to do pop in, day care, or dog walking services all throughout the week. My dog walking services include taking them on a long walk, playing with them, and giving them affection. My pop in services also include all of that with extended play time as well as feeding, or any special requests. My overnight house-sitting will include as much or as little time with your pet as you wish along with any special services you may ask such as bathing, taking to groomers or taking to the dog park. I will always keep your dog safe and never have them in any type of environment that could be stressful or unpleasant for your companion.

14. Madaya S.
About: My passion is training dogs. I truly believe there’s no such thing as bad dogs, only bad humans. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and would love to care for yours. I’m disabled, so I have a service dog, that I owner-trained to help mitigate my symptoms. I have a business Pawzitive K9 Academy. Find me on Facebook or my website Pawzitivek9academy-com I train my dog everyday & find its best for a pup to have a job, even if it’s fetching the ball 50 times. I do most of my training after work and in the afternoon. My days off are for heavy workouts with decompression for my dog’s. Let me help you and your pup find a happy middle so you can live a happy life. I have a fenced yard and several parks nearby. My pup is two, has the upmost best training, and loves to help other dogs feel more comfortable when it comes to new environments or training. When booking boarding or sitting services, I require at least a week’s notice*, so that meet and greets can happen. (*Excludes animal aggressive dogs). Once dogs have met, details finalized, and availability confirmed: dogs will be kept apart for a minimum of 12-24 hours, or until the dogs are showing no signs of anxiety, fear, etc. I promise to treat your pup with respect & kindness, take extreme care when it comes to the safety of the dogs. I love sending photos and videos of pups to their owner’s so they know they’re safe and having fun! So, book today and we hope to see you soon.

About: I have started from a very early age working at my grandmas doggy day care every summer, getting the experience needed to take care of animals. I was taught how to train dogs as well and can absolutely guarantee your animals will feel safe and at peace with me watching them! Animals are my absolute life, with having some of my own of course. So I will always do my best to make sure I treat yours the same way I would want someone to treat mine!! I currently am unemployed and plan on making this my full time gig! I am in school but all online so my schedule is usually always open! I plan on watching clients animals in their home. I will always make sure they are well looked after and cared for at all times when they are with me. Making sure they get lots of activities to do during the day and social time!
16. Brianna H.
About: I’ve always grown up with pets in the house and we’ve had dogs in all ranges from chihuahuas to siberian huskies! I trained all three of our huskies to sit, shake, lay down, pray, roll over, etc. They are also all leash trained. I currently work part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets! My cat is fed twice daily so I definitely understand the importance of keeping a routine with pets! My cat has been trained to stay off furniture in my home and is leash trained to go on walks with me. She is fed twice a day and has access to her space which includes her food and water, litter box, cat tree, and toys at all times.

They made sure to give him ample attention (he loves cuddles) and also made sure to feed him from the directions. I would honestly recommend her for watching your animal if you need to go out of town or just for daily walks! She seemed very professional and extremely friendly to me and my animal.”
20. Kelly & Samuel G.
