“This was my first time boarding my dogs ever and Leo did a great job with them. He had a wonderful backyard for them to play in and he and his wife made sure they had plenty of attention and care. He sent lots of videos and picture updates daily which I really appreciated as I was very nervous about this whole thing. And now that my dogs know him anytime I need boarding I will be contacting him.”
“Wendy was so sweet to my babies! I was really nervous to leave from for 3 nights, but she did her best to make them comfortable and pampered them I'm so glad they had a vacation during our vacation!”
About: I was raised in a farm family and within my father's exotic bird business. I've been taking care of a variety of types of animals since I was a child. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets. I have experience working as a dog daycare and kennel employee. I have two dogs of my own and enjoy being an animal caregiver. I have experience rendering first aid. I know what it is to want peace of mind while away from my own pets and I enjoy providing that for other pet people. I love that working with animals teaches me about what it is to be human. I have a flexible schedule to focus on caring for your animal family member. I have plenty of time and attention to devote to spending time with pets. I will treat your service with the utmost professionalism and render the same care and concern to your pets I give to looking after the needs of my own.
About: I became a dog sitter when my Husband was working in the Military. His friends and workers would all need to go see family and could not always take their animals. So I became known as their extra Pet mommy. Even after my Husband got out of the ARMY, We saw a old comrade I sat for, and they said their dog doesn't like their new sitter. She was sad I left. We saw them in EPCOT of all places. It was nice to know they liked me. I am available all day to come and walk or play, or even just sit with your puppies or kitties. I have my own transportation and am reliable. I never leave the pet alone. we play and cuddle a lot. I take care of their area and their meds if needed as well. I am currently working part time so I will have time to play and cuddle with your pets all the time. It will be my pleasure. I am always watching to make sure they don't get into something they shouldn't be eating or playing with. I love to take walks and play.

About: I have founded and led Abbey’s Canine Academy for over 5 years. We specialize in Board and Train scenarios and are trained and able to handle all kinds of pets from puppies to seniors. We have specialized equipment and experience to make sure your pet stays safe and fulfilled. As a full time dog trainer, I am home with the dogs every day, for all hours unless I need to run errands. Each dog has free time in the house, yard time, exercise time, play time, and even scheduled training time if you desire! I have two dogs that are very well trained in the home. If your pup wants to play, then they can play, but if they do best separate, then my home is equipped to keep them separate during the day and at night for sleeping.
“Breonna was a great sitter for my dog, Hank, who can be a handful sometimes. She was willing to meet me beforehand to make sure that it was a good match, and she sent pictures and a video while I was away so that I knew Hank was doing well. Not everyone can manage a rambunctious Treeing Walker Coonhound, but Breonna did extremely well, on top of offering an affordable price. If I have to go away again, I will definitely be contacting her. Highly recommend.”

Samantha communicated often and made sure to send me frequent photos of my pet while I was away, which made me worry free about my pet’s care care. Samantha even provided door to door transportation for my pet to AND from my pet’s stay. Samantha will continue to be my first choice for all my pet sitting needs. Her services are simply top-notch!”

Grant R.
“Grant is great with all dogs and all animals. He is very kind and loving and gives the best care to all his animals. He loves to go on walks and play with dogs. His dog recently passed away and has not replaced him yet. He would love being around other dogs to love and care for them as he transitions to getting his own dog. He is responsible and dedicated to what he puts his mind to. His love for animals is unique. He is limited in the jobs he can work; he cannot be around food or in any food service industry. He has done janitorial work and has done great. He has special needs and has graduated high school but has not been able to complete any more school as he isn’t capable of further education. He is the best caregiver I have ever seen for all pets. He takes care of a lot animals of people he knows when they go out of town. And did I mention he loves to walk and being outside Please consider Grant as a caretaker for your dog. I state with full confidence that you will be satisfied and happy with grant and the care he will Give to your beloved dog. I would be happy to discuss grants abilities and job performance and character. Thanks”
