About: I have had dogs since I was 7 years old. I currently own two of my own and both are age 2. I help family when they are out of town with the care of their dogs. I currently work part time flexible hours! I can start around 9am until late night. I can do long weekend care as well. Flexibility open I do have two dogs with a fenced in yard. My dogs love to run and play with new dogs, if you need day boarding.
About: Hi there! I’m Erin — a full-time teacher during the school year and a full-time dog lover year round. During the summer, I have lots of extra time and flexibility to take your pups on long walks or stop by for drop-in visits when you need a hand. I’ve lived with and cared for dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m calm, friendly, and always take the time to get to know each dog’s unique personality and comfort level. Whether your pup is high-energy or a little more shy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Looking forward to meeting you and your best friend! For the months of July and August I am completely free 7 days a week all day long. During the school year, I work as a teacher so I am at work from around 7:30-3:30. However, my evenings and weekends remain completely free. I have a fenced in yard and 2 happy pups to keep your furry friend company! Dogs are allowed on the furniture and I am happy to let them either roam free downstairs or be put in a kennel when I am not home. I have a gate that keeps my dog from going upstairs when I’m not home, so that can be closed at any time during the day too. Let me know what you prefer and we will make it work in order to let your pet be as comfortable as possible!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a kid. I grew up on a farm, and we always had animals to care for. Currently, I have 1 dog and 4 cats, we rescued a cat family. I am working part time so I will have plenty of opportunity to care for your dog. Anytime would be a good time for me to board your pet, drop in to house sit or take your dog for a walk. I have a large fenced yard, a large awning area, and a garage set up for shade, along with other dog friendly amenities. I have a doggy pool and dog beds for cozy comfort. Lots of room to run and play as well.
“Once again, Jessica was fantastic! We are so happy we booked her to watch our 16 year old dog. She sent daily photos, updates, and was easy to communicate with. Jessica made sure to give our old pup her meds every day, and gave her extra love. Neela was very happy and comfortable in our own home. We were so pleased. Thank you!”
About: I have been working with dogs since I was in 6th grade. I trained my childhood dog through a 4H program and we completed at the county fair each year in Obedience and Rally. Now I have a rescue who over the past 4 years we've helped work through a lot of reactivity and she now is an active participant in Rally competitions and other classes. As a teacher my summer is wide open for walks and drop in visits. Once the school year starts after school and weekends are open. I'm very comfortable with dogs of various sizes and needs. I can crate your furry family members, get them fed, out for walks etc. I'm comfortable with various walking equipment from harnesses to gentle leaders and collars.
“Ronene is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is flexible and understanding. My pup is a bit timid when meeting new people but that didn’t scare her away. She worked with Finn to make sure they become friends and bond with that trust. She has such a passion for dogs and I am so happy to have found her to help me with my busy schedule.”
About: I've fostered a variety of dogs and puppies of different ages for many years. I have also dog sat for friends before and am reliable. I’ve had dogs all my life, so know how to take care of them in every stage of their life. I'm currently working part time, so I will be available to play with your pets and fulfill their needs. I always make sure my dogs are well taken care of and exercised. I always go outside with the animals so they won't run away and so I can keep an eye on them. I also walk dogs to get some exercise and play with them. I make sure to give them a lot of attention.
About: I love dogs and had one for 17 years! Our good boy recently crossed the rainbow bridge and we miss him so much. I have experience with young dogs, but also with senior dogs I am currently available during the day every weekday, so whether it’s an early morning or late afternoon walk, I can be there no problem! I treat every dog like my own and give them as long as a walk as they prefer or as many pets as they desire!
About: Transporting pets across the country has shown me how to properly tend and care for animals. Having owned and trained two dogs over the years, has also proven to show the nitty gritty details that you just do not receive when only working with them at a job. I hope in choosing me to take care of your precious pets, that not only will I prove to be the most calming and caring person that will put your pets at ease, but also one who can put you at ease with the trust that your pet is in good hands. I work at a pet store part-time for the local owner, Shaun, for the Lucky Dog Co. I am never there for greater than a 5 hour shift. I have multiple sized cages ranging from extra small, to large. I do not have a customized crate, however the largest size I offer is a 700 series sized crate. These will only be used when I am not home. Your pet will have a fenced in property. There will always be clean water to drink from. I will feed them depending on your preferences for feeding. Otherwise, once in the morning and once in the evening. I look forward to taking care of your pets. Thank-you for choosing me!

About: I’ve always had a dog growing up and currently have my own black lab!

About: I have grown up with dogs and rescued my big hunk of love Leo. I love dogs of all sizes, breed and ages and cats as well. I actually like dogs more than people. I also am a cute cat lover too! I have two black beauties that love to snuggle up but also play when they are feeling up for it. I have a pretty flexible schedule as I am a personal trainer and I teach fitness classes so I don’t have a typical 9-5 job. Feel free to ask questions. I crate my dog when I am at work. He loves going in it and waits for me to shut the door every morning before I leave.

“Erin has taken care of my dog many times before she moved and I moved. My dog willow loves her.

Brandi S.
“Brandi is such a caring and patient person that I would trust my dogs with her any day. Not only is she incredible with dogs, she’s also a teacher - which takes a special kind of loving, patient person. I’ve seen her work with her own dog, Koda, through training classes and agility classes, completely transforming Koda’s confidence and helping alleviate her fears. Brandi’s also very active so she can keep up with just about any energy level dog, to really tucker them out! I’d highly recommend booking with Brandi - your pup will love her!!”

Rachel V.
“Rachel is the best with dogs & also cats! She would rescue every dog possible if she could. She treated her rescued pittie named Leo just like a child. He always had a chair at the campfire, she always took him on walks, he slept next to her in bed and she was always spoiling him. He was always getting dressed up for every holiday and he seemed to enjoy it. She is always around her mom and sisters dogs as well. I would trust her with my animals with no worries. I highly recommend her!”
Jen H.
“I have known Jen H for 52 years as I am her mother! She is a kind, loving, and caring person. She has demonstrated these qualities not only with her family but with her pets. She has had a dog, not only as a child, but when she married, that was one of the first things they got when they bought their own home. They had three dogs during a span of 20 years, until they passed over the rainbow bridge. Those dogs were part of their family, when they passed it was like losing a family member. I would highly recommend her for your service.”
