“My pup loved staying with Carly! Carly provided pictures everyday and reassured me that I could reach out any time to check on him. She was very gracious and open to us visiting prior to the booking so that my pup could be familiar with her and her home. 10/10 would definitely recommend - will be using her services in the future.”
“Amanda was awesome. We had to leave Pringles for an 8 night trip and I was very at ease knowing he was with someone that would take absolute care of him and treat him as her own. She kept me updated and sent pictures. I would absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone.”

She made it all very easy and updated with lots of pictures and communication to ease our minds about being away from him. I will definitely be using her for all of my dog boarding need from now on!!”

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of dog behavior. I've been around dogs my entire life and am always learning more about their needs, communication, and body language. I also worked as a veterinary assistant for over a year, giving me a solid background in health, safety, and medication care. Dogs in my care enjoy a safe, fenced backyard for play and potty breaks, and I also have a spacious front yard where we can explore safely on a long line. I’m just minutes from parks, which means your dog gets both mental and physical stimulation during their stay. I treat every dog like family—with love, patience, and personalized attention. I have gone through the Animal Behavioral College for dog training, set to complete my externship before the end of July. I can help with leash manners, potty training, and basic obedience. I am currently working from home building my dog training business, caring for my own dogs l, horses, and children.. so pet care is part of my daily life Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured environment with flexible options based on your pet’s needs. I have extra-large metal crates available for secure rest or when I need to step out, and dogs sleep safely and comfortably at night. I have four friendly, social dogs who love to play—but if your pup prefers space, I’m fully able to separate and manage playtime to match their comfort level. My fenced backyard offers plenty of room for safe outdoor time, and the large front yard is perfect for leashed play or sniffy walks. I'm also close to local parks for extra enrichment. I’m experienced with medication administration and will keep you updated with frequent photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and patience I bring to every animal I care for. I treat each pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and understood while their owners are away. I have experience with everything from energetic puppies who need training and routine, to senior pets who require a little extra love, gentleness, and sometimes medication or mobility support. I’m also great at picking up on body language and behavior changes, which helps me quickly spot if something seems off. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or quiet cuddle time, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I truly enjoy. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just spending quiet time with animals, I make it a priority. I’m used to planning my schedule around pets’ needs—early morning potty breaks, regular exercise, meals, and any special care they might require. I enjoy being active, so daily walks or playtime are something I look forward to. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like a task to me—it’s something that brings joy and structure to my days. I always make sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for, no matter how busy the week gets. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always make it a point to respect their space and stick closely to the routine the pet is used to. I follow all instructions for feeding, walking, playtime, and medication if needed. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them attention, affection, and plenty of exercise or quiet time depending on their needs. I also keep things tidy—cleaning up after meals, litter boxes, or outdoor breaks—and always keep the home as I found it. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment that feels like a second home. I provide structure, play, and a lot of one-on-one time. I monitor their behavior closely, keep their space clean, and give them a cozy, secure area to rest. Whether at my home or theirs, I always focus on making pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away.
