“Kendra is so good with the girls. You can tell they love her. She’s very fast at responding to messages and makes sure my dogs have everything they need. We love her!!”
About: I have been caring for animals personally for the past 14 years. I was a dog mom to Barkley, a 14-year old rescue Yorkie, who crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge in 2024. I have experience caring for senior dogs, puppies and all ages in between. While I don’t have a backyard with my townhome, there is a ton of green space in my community for walks to provide plenty of sunshine, fresh air and exercise for your pooch. Currently, I am working from home full-time during the week with 1-in office day a week. I take frequent breaks throughout the day that allow me to provide walks and potty breaks. I want to make sure your fur baby is as comfortable as they are at home so please feel free to share the needs and routines of your pooch. As a dog mom who has utilized a sitter for the past 12 years I understand the perspective of leaving your fur baby in the hands of someone else. You can expect quality and attentive care and of course all the free tummy rubs. I currently work from home 4 days of the week and can provide potty breaks and walks throughout the day. I’m usually away from the house on average 2 hours a day total for errands or working out. I can accommodate to the needs of your dog so they can have as close to their routine. Let me know if you would prefer for your dog to be crated or kept in a specific area during the day or night.
About: I have taken care of many dogs through out my years from small chihuahuas to Great Pyrenees. I currently own a German Shepherd, Blue Heeler and two Great Pyrenees that I love with all my heart. I have experience with many breeds and also with training dogs. I can potty train them and teach them a few discipline skills like sit and stays and also teach them funny tricks. I have always loved animals and I want to use this opportunity to experience more with animals as a future veterinarian. I believe becoming a dog sitter will help me have more experience with getting to know different dogs. I honestly believe this will be a fun experience to meet new people and their beloved pets.

My cat kinda just does whatever he wants
“Mary has been absolutely amazing with my two giant pups! 🐾❤️ They’re a whole lot of dog, and she has been so sweet, patient, and caring with them. She always goes above and beyond during her visits, and I love the pictures she sends me, they always look SO happy to see her. It gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re happy and being loved on while I’m away. She’s quickly become one of their favorite people, and I’m so grateful to have found her!”

“Julian is probably the best dog sitter I’ve ever hired! He took such good care of my pup and don’t plan on booking with anyone else but him moving forward!”
“Sarah is absolutely outstanding. Very rapid response, timely and accurate communication from start to finish. Sarah preemptively scheduled a meet and greet so there were no surprises and the schedule was confirmed. She took excellent of my two dogs, sent pictures and updates, and even put the amazon packages in the screened in porch for me. I can't recommend Sarah highly enough, I will definitely be using her professional services again.”

“Courtney is absolutely amazing. She is so sweet with our crazy mini Aussie and our chi-Pom. She is on time, loving to the pups, and very respectful. Would recommend her to everyone!”
About: I've worked in a doggy day care years ago, working with different breeds and dogs with different personalities. Helped train puppies and loved on senior pets. Since that job I have helped care for friends and families pets. Its always a treat to have little fur friends come over!! I am a business owner, redoing furniture and reselling vintage clothes. Writing my own schedule allows me to create time for another revenue stream to my brand TenderLovinKaren I have a fenced in yard and a large fenced in park right down the street. I love to go on hikes and if your dogs like to get out and explore I think they would enjoy staying with myself. I also enjoying lounging and cuddling up on the couch, and so if your dog is more into that vibe, I am good with that too.
About: I’ve grown up with several dogs throughout my life of different breeds and sizes. I love being around dogs and would be happy to meet yours. Currently I work part-time but I’m always available in the afternoon/evenings and some mornings as well. I’d be happy to discuss scheduling and I’m sure we can work something out. Whenever I care for pets in other people’s homes I like to do a quick look around to make sure there isn’t anything dangerous in the pet’s reach, see that they eat and have water available to them and sit with them for a while/take them on a walk depending on the pet.

Dania has been so great this week with our baby Lucy. We lost our other fur baby last weekend and all been taking it hard, when we had to return to work we needed a sitter for our babygirl towards the end of the week.
