About: I've been a dog owner for 20 years. Over the last 10 years, friends, family and neighbors have entrusted me with taking care of their dogs. 2 years ago, I took on the venture of fostering dogs in my home. My experience with them has been with puppies through adult dogs. Special needs dogs are welcome too, as I have experience with dogs with seizure disorder and other chronic issues. During the time the foster dogs are in my care, I work to establish a routine, learn basic commands and household manners. I work from home Monday-Friday. My pets (and fosters) stay in my office with me when I working. I am able to care for your pets during my breaks, lunchtime and after hours. My weekends can be a bit more busy, but I can be flexible in working with your needs. I have a small fenced in yard for the dogs to stretch their legs, enjoy the outdoors, and of course relieve themselves. Indoors, I do have crates available if your dogs needs some alone, quiet time. My dogs have their own room to offer a safe space for them. The dogs are never left unattended to ensure they don't get into something they are not suppose to. If watching the dog in your home, I will follow any instructions that you give to ensure your dog's safety and happiness.

About: I'm an animal lover with a natural way with animals. Though I've only cared for roommates' pets in the past, I love to pay it forwards to everyone! In between jobs right now, I have open availability and am happy to be the last minute sitter you hope you never needed and are glad to have. Keeping them in a routine is important. I'm respectful of my clients' property and loving of their animals while also providing structure to them all

“Brynn was welcoming and reassuring when we dropped our dog off. She asked good questions and seemed very comfortable with our high energy dog. Bryan provided messages when we asked about Bailey. She was very prompt in responding. I would use Bryan as a boarder again.”


“Frida was an absolutely phenomenal sitter and so sweet and loving to our dog Blaike. She treated her with warmth, kindness, and patience. Her dogs were loving and playful with our dog and welcomed her with open paws! Frida provided many updates with pictures and videos and let us know how thoroughly she was being cared for and enjoying her stay. Frida truly treats your dog like family and I highly recommend her as your sitter! We will absolutely be booking her for our next trip. Thank you so much Frida!!”
