About: I’ve been taking care of dogs (and pets in general) since I was around 12 years old. I started by watching my neighbors dogs and moved on from there. I am now a certified dog groomer and want to continue pet sitting as well! I work part time, so I have plenty of time to schedule pet sitting, play and such. I also do my dog grooming on the side for right now. I have a partially fenced yard, and no other pets so my home is friendly to dogs who don’t like other animals, and a very spacious yard

“Chelsea is simply amazing. She’s very flexible and always happy to check on our crazy boy. He loves to destroy everything in our house, Chelsea doesn’t mind picking up the mess. We can tell Marvin loves hanging out with her in the back yard and she isn’t fazed by how crazy he can get. We love reading her report cards and she takes some great pictures too! If you need a dog sitter, she’s the one!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic. She notified me every time she arrived and left, including photos of our dogs. I was completely comfortable and had no worries that our dogs were her priority. We already booked her for another time and will continue to.”

About: When I’m not boarding, walking, or doing doggy daycare I’m hanging out with my kiddos. Occasionally I also foster puppies at 8 weeks old and start the potty training process and prepare them to go to their furever home. Does your dogs like to sleep on the couch? Perfect! I do too! Do they prefer to sleep in bed with you at night? Not a problem, come on in! Does your dog need daily walks? You got it! I live on a quiet road off the beaten path. I tend to treat all animals with the respect and love I give my children and I teach my children the same morals. Pets aren’t just pets in my eyes, each dog has needs they need to have met and it’s my job to make that happen when they are in my care. During my high school years I spent my time after school volunteering at the local veterinary clinic assisting the vet techs preform their daily tasks. Growing up I worked on a dairy farm. I know how to administer medications, potty train, bathe, and trim nails. I’m a stay at home mom during the week so I am always home to give my furbabies all the love and attention they want. When I’m home and need to leave your pups will tag along with me through my daily routine and hangout with me. Or if they’d prefer to relax at home and have free range they can! I try to keep a potty and feeding schedule the same as when they are with you. I live in a lake house so if your pups love to swim then this is the place to be! I also have a decent size yard (unfenced) for playing. My two dogs will keep your furbaby company in a doggy sense. My children will also play with your babies so they will definitely have a lot of attention. Inside my house is baby proof so it is also dog proof. Do you want to FaceTime your dog while they are with me? Not a problem, call whenever. I will send pictures and updates throughout the day for you so you know they are okay. Your pets truly are treated like family in my care.
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I have friends around the area that have asked for my help with their dogs on multiple occasions. They have often stayed overnight for days in a row. I love making the pet feel comfortable and loved. I promise to take great care of your pet. I am currently a stay at home mom and we adopted a dog. We are always playing outside and taking walks and would love another dog to join us! I will take care of your pet exactly as you do. I will make sure to keep any eating, walking or training schedules that are already in place.
About: I work as a part time medical assistant and am trying to build my clientele so I can do this full time. I have two dogs of my own. Jazzy and Keona. Jazzy was just 9 months old, and Keona was 6 months old when my husband and I rescued them to give them a better life. I did have two cats that were brothers but one passed away a couple years ago. I have always been an animal lover. If I had a place big enough with a huge yard to play in, I would rescue all the dogs and cats that need homes. I have experience from taking care of my own pets. I will always treat other people's pets like they are my own as they are family members not just pets. I will share photos every day I am with them to their owners to assure them they are in good hands. I always like to meet the owners and the pets a few days before to make sure I am a good fit with your pets. I am currently working part time as a medical assistant. I have a flexible schedule which allows me to spend extra time with your pets. I care for them as if they were my own. I make sure they don't get into/ or eat anything that can be harmful to them. I am also very cautious when opening the door to make sure your pet does not run out.
About: I’ve walked dogs for neighbors and friends for several years and have always loved it. I get along well with all animals, even ones with anxiety or separation issues. I am patient and attentive to their needs, and am happy to give them all the attention they want. I’m currently working part time from 9-2:30ish on weekdays, so I have plenty of availability before and after my hours on weekdays ,and am completely available on weekends! You can put your trust in me to keep your fur babies happy and healthy. I am aware that leaving them alone can be hard, and I want to make them as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve owned pets my entire life and began volunteering with rescues 8 years ago. I have fostered several puppies in preparation for their new homes, and I’ve done pet care for friends, family, and neighbors for many years. If I’m not caring for other pets, I can usually be found spending time with my own dogs who are 7 and 8 years old. I work 4 days a week and would love to provide care during my 3 off days. I’m also available for some walks and drop-in visits before work in the mornings. I plan to provide the same kind of care to your animals that I do to my own. I know that pets are family and I want to make your absence a little easier for them.
About: I've had dogs my whole life. I have been caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes for the past 10 years on the side. I'm available for dog walks, drop in visits, or daytime sitting during the week. I have a dog of my own and it would be ideal for your pup to get along with other dogs! I have a large fenced yard for your furry friend to run around in! I have endless toys and I am able to crate your pup if needed.
