About: Looking for a loving, attentive, caregiver to go above and beyond caring for your furry best friend while you are away? I’m retired with a lifetime of love and experience with dogs in show rings, obedience trials, agility and therapy work. I especially enjoy senior pups, shy pups, spoiled Divas, and overly sensitive or anxious fur babies under 20 lbs. My home is completely set up for your dog’s comfort and safety with 24/7 attention, peaceful stress-free environment, and activities specialized to their preferences. The number of pups is limited and I only take pups under 20 lbs over 1 year old for their safety and enjoyment. Your pup’s routines and schedules are maintained as you would care for them at home so they enjoy being here, eating and sleeping well. My “assistant” resident older dogs, Dunkin and Delilah, love sharing their pup-centered home, toys, treats and large, secure, fenced yard. Our home is near Ola (Keys Ferry Rd area) between McDonough and Jackson, and your pup will verify the attention and love is worth a few more minutes drive if you’re farther away. Your precious babies will enjoy the same daily care, routines and activities at my loving home they have in yours including mealtimes, pampering, daily brushing and teeth care. They can run and play in the large securely fenced yard, chill with me on the covered deck, snuggle on the couch, play in the ball pit, search the snuffle mat and even sleep in the bed. Best of all there are no concrete cages, kennel stress, lonely nights, chaos or contagions. Let’s schedule a free meet n greet in advance so you’ll have peace of mind booking your pup’s best home away from home. I’m a stay at home retiree so all my attention will be focused on your precious pup. I only care for small dogs under 20 lbs for their enjoyment and safety as well as your peace of mind. You will receive daily photos/videos and are welcome to call any time. Drop off/pick up times are flexible with no extra charges between 7 am to 8 pm. I will keep your potty training schedules (pads or outside) and can refresh some basics and socialization if needed. I do not offer professional grooming, but can do nails and bathe for an additional charge. My home is super pet friendly, safe and comfortable and pets are with me 24/7 (not in kennels, closed rooms, and never never left in the yard alone). I will pen or crate in full view only if needed due to persistent destructive chewing, aggression, sleeping or potty training issues, but prefer your dog be as free as if they were home with you and I will let you know if this is necessary. All dogs must be over 1 year old and under 20 lbs. Male dogs must be neutered. I can sometimes accommodate unspayed females and, with special circumstances and agreements, females in heat. Be sure to honestly evaluate your pup and let me know if issues such as toy aggression, housebreaking, digestion upsets, allergies, separation anxiety, etc. so I know how to best care for your pup and keep everyone safe and happy.

About: I love taking care of animals. At the moment I can’t work a normal job and I’ve always been very fond of animals. If you decide to book I’ll make sure they have a pleasant experience. It’s a guarantee. I’m currently available at any time. Weekdays can vary so just make sure to give me a notice beforehand. I work from home so i can care for them with no problems! Pets at my home are guaranteed to be inside. Pets at clients home will vary depending on how the client wants it. I make sure the area is always clean for their safety. I also have a safety camera in the room they stay in, so even when I'm not home i can still keep an eye on them.

About: I’m a retired wildlife biologist with lots of time and interest in taking care of animals. I’ve had dogs and indoor (mostly) cats most of my life and thus I’m fully used to scooping poo, sweeping up kitty litter, etc. You will not return to a minefield in the yard or a messy litter box I’m retired and thus available often. You can count on me to spend quality time with your pets, not just feed and go. I look forward to meeting them I like animals more than most people, haha, and will care for them with great focus. Your pets will be my buddies and we’ll have a safe and fun time together. I do not have a fence but my house is in the middle of a 113 acre mostly wooded property I own.

“Thank you he loves to hang out with you!”

About: Greetings, I am Obadina and I am a graduate of AK9i as a patrol Detection K9 handler and trainer. I went to Tennessee State for Animal Science Pre Veterinary Medicine where I learned animal husbandry. I used that experience to go on to be a vet tech as well as a pet bather and trainer. I am current K9 detection dog handler and trainer. I have experience with high drive dogs as well as nervous dogs and puppies. I can work with any and every dog, from fearful to aggressive. I also offer DeShed nail care and bathing services. DeShed services is when I remove the shedding undercoat that comes out usually during the change of seasons. It prevents mats and painful tangles which not only can relive pain and odor, but also keeps them cool during the warm summer months. It’s a very good alternative to shaving, which actually makes them hotter because their fur keeps the sun off of them . Animal Husbandry is my profession as a K9 handler. Your dogs will be treated like assets they are. It’s an hourly routine as animals respond to predictability which lowers stress levels which leads to better boarding experiences. Your asset will be housed in a climate controlled dry lockable indoor kennel run facility with a fenced in secured play area that’s easy to clean and plenty of storage for your pets supplies.

About: I have experience working with large breed, small breed, cats, reptiles and farm animals. I have volunteered in shelters and on farms. I enjoy investing my time in animals and would love the chance to treat your pet like a part of the family. I work from home so your pet will never be alone for much longer than a trip to the store. I enjoy the company to be honest. I have no pets in my home. A large front and back yard. I have plenty of safe space for your fur baby to play in or outside with a clean & loving environment. I am happy to follow and special care instructions your pet might need.

Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve finally decided to fully pursue my true passion—caring for animals of all kinds. With a degree in marine sciences and a lifelong love for the great outdoors, my journey has given me a wealth of hands-on experience with a wide range of animals from newborns to seniors, across both land and water. I’m also happy to care for any plants you may have while you're away! I genuinely love meeting new people and their pets, and I treat every animal like one of my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your crew! Please share a picture and a quick introduction of your pet <3 I am currently blessed with completely open availability! I prefer to keep my weekends light, but I understand these are typically the days many clients may need my services. I will leave the multiple pets in home aspect up to the pet owner’s discretion - I can board up to 3 dogs at once, if their temperament allows. Willing to accommodate as needed! I have a large (unfenced) yard in a safe, quiet, rural-residential neighborhood. We are surrounded by trees, birds and tranquility, so I like to look at it like a true getaway for your pets. While you’re on a trip, so is your fur baby!! There are dog parks in the area that I’d love take the dogs to visit, at the discretion of the owner. The only pets I have are reptiles, so there’s no need to worry about sharing spaces with unfamiliar pets in my home (unless I have another client here)

About: As far back as I can remember I’ve owned or cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, hamsters you name it and I’ve probably cared for it. I love dogs the most and currently own three. Training them, caring for them, playing with them are my passions. I can bathe, trim nails, give medications, train them, walk them properly, and integrate them into packs when requested. I work from home M-F and have flexibility with my hours. I like to travel and I know the cost of putting my dogs up in boarding or day care facilities. We've decided to reduce our travel for now to save up money. I am happy to help out where needed. Please don't hesitate to ask questions. We have a fenced in yard the dogs can run and play in. We also have 2 large dog crates and one small dog crate we keep in case the dogs want/need to be isolated. When we are home our dogs are able to play inside and outside. We have parks close by and take our dogs on walks 2-3 times a day. Your pet would either walk with them or separately depending on his/her ability. We play fetch, we do commands, we can run them or play in water if it’s hot. We love dog parks and shaded walking trails as well. Dogs have the ability to stay inside or outside at our home.. I work from home and can watch them inside while I work. I let them play outside several times a day as wells. Dogs have the ability to stay inside or outside at our home. We have dog beds for them to lie on. We have a big yard and a pool.

“I am SO HAPPY we found Yaritza!!! She is amazing! She communities and sends pictures and videos of our fur baby throughout the day—which put my mind at ease, knowing that Clemi is in good hands and is being cared for. I can tell she enjoys working with animals. It’s Clemi’s second day with her and her Yorkie (Dexter) and she’s already so comfortable. I highly recommend her, 100%”

About: Give your dogs a vacation at The Happy Paws Retreat! We are new to Rover but not new when it comes to pet care. I am a dog owner with 20 years experience caring for animals. I would love to pamper your pet while you're away. Your fur babies will receive quality loving care during their stay. I have a spacious home and a large yard so they will have plenty of space to roam free, run, explore, play, or relax. All indoor and outdoor play is supervised. If you have more than one dog, no problem! I am able to take care of multiple pets at one time. I have a dedicated dog room and pet gates so I can keep pets separated when needed. Dogs are allowed to roam free and will only be crated at night if they are not used to sleeping free. Your dog will be treated to walks, hugs, rubs, lots of love, playtime, and more!! You can expect daily photos with 2x daily updates on how your fur baby is doing. Happys Paws will be their home away from home. If you can’t take your babies with you…let them take a vacation at The Happy Paws Retreat! I am home full-time so I can keep a watchful eye on your babies to make sure they have what they need. I work remote so I am able to play with your pups and take them for walks. I'm available for boarding weekdays and weekends. You doggos will be able to roam free inside my home and will have plenty of playtime, get rubs, hugs, treats, regular potty breaks, cuddles, rest, and relaxation. All dogs are fed and put to bed according to their regular schedule (Don't forget their food). At bedtime, dogs are usually crated just until morning. Exceptions can be made for dogs who are housetrained and/or not used to sleeping in crate. If your dogs are used to co-sleeping, I will assign them a crate large enough to accommodate them. For smaller dogs, please bring your own crate if you have one. If your dog is housetrained and used to sleeping freely, they can sleep in an open space. The main floor offers private and semi-private spaces for pets that need to be kept separate. Please bring their food, bed, leash, and favorite toy. Your dogs will be safe with me and receive lots of TLC. Don’t be surprised if they come back happy, tails wagging, and well-rested from their retreat.

“This was Kings second time seeing Mika but first time at her place. he went right to her and never looked back at me. Made my heart smile because I knew he was in good hands. She sent pics of him throughout the day. He had a ball and made a new pup friend. Thanks again Mika. We can’t wait to see you again soon!”

About: I have taken care of animals from cats, dogs, to even hamsters since I was a child. My family and I truly love animals. I know how hard it is to find the perfect dog sitter who you trust to take care of your pup while you are away without having to worry about them. Feel free to message me to schedule a meet and greet or ask any questions you may have as I love pets and want help ease your worries while away. Please Note: we require a meet and greet to ensure our pups get along and are a good fit. With this we are unable to take last minute request unless you are a repeat client. My husband and I work from home and will be able to be with your pup and give them plenty of attention and take them out throughout the day. We can go for walks or play in our large fenced back yard. We have a very large fenced back yard, 2 doggies, and 3 kids who help us keep your fur baby company. We live in a nice quiet subdivision that is great for walks. Our house has plenty of space inside for your pet to walk around, play, and relax. Our family loves pets and will love on them and follow the specific needs of your dog to make them comfortable and happy.

About: Growing up, my family always had animals around. I have five brothers and sisters and we all had pets, from dogs to cows to fish. Now as an adult, I would love to care for your pets for you. I’m not afraid of loud messy big dogs but I can be very gentle with shy sweet kitties and puppies. I’m very patient and I have done extensive research on how a dog’s brain works. I can’t wait to take your pet on an adventure or maybe just a leisurely stroll! I’m a stay-at-home-wife so I have lots of free time to dedicate to your furry friend. I try to keep Sundays low-key but the rest of my week is wide-open! I have a sweet small dog and a silly cat who loves dogs but can easily defend herself and hide. I have a big backyard for your pets to play in, but don’t worry, I will never leave them unsupervised.

“Kimora was wonderful & very accommodating for our Nala. She provided us w/ updates throughout the day, & overall a peace of mind knowing that our baby was in a safe environment. I’d recommend her services to anyone & everyone.”
