Your dog will enjoy: 🐾 Engaging Activities: Puzzles, agility games, stimulating sensory hikes, and exciting frozen treat hunts to keep their minds sharp and bodies active. 🐾 Personalized Comfort: Spacious playpen areas featuring plush beds and toy boxes filled with squeaky toys and chewy things, providing a perfect spot for relaxation and cool-down. 🐾 When planning your next getaway, give your best friend the gift of their own "doggy vacay" at 3 Suns Pet Care. My name is Alicia and I have cared for and loved animals as long as I can remember. I grew up with pets. Any species you can imagine, I had one! However, my heart has always been with dogs. I have been a rescue foster for two years and it is the most rewarding way to give back. I have a large dog friendly home in a neighborhood with two dog parks, walking trails, and a large field right across the street. So your pup will not be lacking in space to run and play ooorr lounge and snooze. I have one puppy, he is a medium size cockapoo that’s quite shy but a gentle teddy bear and loves to play chase with other pups! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! Every dog that stays in my care is immediately assigned a tracking device on their harness/collar for added security. I also provide you with the link to their location for your peace of mind. I work from home with a flexible schedule so I’m able to provide uninterrupted care for your beloved fur baby. Sun-Mon I’m home most of the day. On the occasion I am away I may bring my furry house guest to pet friendly spaces or I’m gone no longer than 4 hours per at a time. I live in a beautiful neighborhood with two dog parks, walking trails, and large fields to run and play. I also have a friendly playful pup that is always down for a game of chase. I can crate your dog if needed. I assign a tracking device to every pet they enters into my home for an added layer of security.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve grown up in a home where we always had up to five dogs at a time—ranging from tiny lap pups to large, energetic breeds. I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I have plenty of experience keeping up with high-energy pets who love to run, play, and explore. There’s nothing better than seeing the pure joy on a dog’s face during a good walk or a fun play session! I’m a firefighter/EMT, which means I work 24-hour shifts—but only about 9 days each month. This gives me plenty of free time on my days off, and I’m often available for pet care during weekdays and weekends. My schedule allows me to be dependable, responsive, and flexible, especially for last-minute bookings or ongoing care needs. My fiancée and I share our home with two Australian Shepherds and a Border Collie—so I’m no stranger to energetic, intelligent dogs that need daily exercise and mental stimulation. Even on our busiest days, we make sure our dogs are well-fed, loved, and cared for. I bring that same level of commitment to every pet I look after. You can trust that your furry family members will be treated with the same care, attention, and love that I give my own.

About: I’ve had pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, and chickens, as part of my homesteading lifestyle. I understand the importance of routine, attention, and exercise for animals. I’ve also helped friends and family care for their pets, including administering medications, walking high-energy dogs, and managing feeding schedules. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays or extended care if needed. I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I’m happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that fits their needs. I have a fenced yard and our dogs are very friendly. We do have a dog crate if needed. I prioritize safety by closely monitoring pets during our time together and ensuring they are always in secure environments. At home, I create a pet-friendly space, free from hazards, and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including dietary restrictions or medical needs.

Bella clearly had such a good time with Rebecca, all the signs of a good fulfilling midday walk were on display when I came home. Rebecca was also very communicative about when she was on her way to walk Bella, when they returned, and provided some great photos. I get anxious about leaving my dog at home for long days, and having Rebecca send great photos and take quality care of Bella helped to alleviate that stress for me. I look forward to having her walk Bella again in the future!

About: I have taken care of dogs ranging from a Maltese to a pit bull since I was 9 years old. I was responsible for giving my dogs food and water before going to school and to give the dogs a bath when needed. I was responsible for taking the dogs on walks around our neighborhood. I'm currently home from college for the summer and am not available from 10am-8pm on Sundays and Wednesdays or 3pm-8pm on Thursdays and Saturdays. Sometimes it may vary when I am available but can let you know in a quick message on the app! In my client's home, I would ensure that the dog has food and water if needed while I am there. The dog would be taken out on walks to ensure they are getting exercise and can use the bathroom. While I am with the dog I would play and keep them company.

About: I have taken care of dogs like they are my babies, I love animals to death. My cousin has relied on me to feed his fur baby. I watch his fur baby for a weekend and she had a great time I work part-time but I have time to play with your fur babies, take your fur babies in walks and feed your fur babies if needed. I will also drive miles away from my house if need. I do have a fence backyard, but if you have a fence backyard that is great and if you don’t I will make sure the dog is on a leash and we will go for a walk so the fur baby can get some fresh air

Kelsi was my nanny to my baby and while doing so she also was a sitter to my two labradoodles while I went to work. She was the absolute best to my two dogs always making sure they were taken such well care of and that all of their needs were always met while being with them. I always knew that coming home from a stressful long day that they would be fed, loved and wore out thanks to Kelsi dedication to them. She loves animals and it truly shows through her work and service to the pets that get to have her.

Jerin is a natural with pets, especially dogs. He’s not only incredibly caring and attentive, but he also has hands on experience with dog sitting. The way dogs light up and run straight to him the moment they see him says it all. You can tell they feel safe, loved, and genuinely happy around him. He goes above and beyond to make sure every dog is well cared for, and it’s clear he builds real bonds with them. Honestly, Jerin is just the kind of person you'd want looking after your pet, he is kind, reliable, and full of love, also my best friend!

About: I would be a great sitter because of my love for animals. I have my own dogs and cats I take care of and I have sitted for neighbors animals since I was little and they always came back to me and asked if I would watch there animal again cause I did such a good job. I won't just feed and walk your dog. I will also give them love and play with them while they are with me. That's why you should choose me as your dog sitter. I would do a really good job and you will want to come back to me for my servous again. You defiantly will love coming to me for me caring for your dogs as if there were my own.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs ever since I was the age of six and I have a great way and love with them . My schedule is pretty flexible but the majority of the time I’m currently working a part-time Wednesdays & Thursdays from 8am- 5:00pm and I am at home no later than 5:45pm I care for them with love and with their necessities as needed on a daily bases whether it’s taking them out for a walk twice a day or feeding them twice a day as well or any extra care like giving them their meds as needed as well.
