“Crystal was great! I was sent a video of my dogs and another dog she was watching playing together and it gave so much ease. Picking them up, they were still the happy girls I know them to be and Crystal even took them for a walk with all the playing. More than I was expecting for just the day. Definitely will use her again when back in the area!!!”

About: Pets have been in my life since I was born and I've never lived without a furry friend. From teacup to x-large dogs, puppies to seniors, I'm well versed in the needs and care of every stage in a dog's life. I have a senior dog and cat now and understand the importance of caring for older animals. I'll treat your dog like family. As a stay-at-home dad, my schedule is very flexible. Whether it be doggy daycare, overnight, or an extended stay, pet care easily fits into my routine. I'm available on short notice and can adapt to your pet's needs. I live on 2 acres of land, with a half-acre fully fenced for safety. The remaining acreage features semi-wooded trails perfect for exploring! Inside our home, you'll find an 11-year-old Siberian Husky, a 14-year-old cat, and 3 children who absolutely adore animals. They've grown up with pets and understand how to interact with them responsibly.

About: I've grown up with dogs since I was a kid. Currently, I have a dog that I got from a rescue over 7 years ago and he is my baby. You can trust me to take care of your dog like they are my own. I am caring and trustworthy. I have watched friends and family members pets before and looking to help out others! My current availability is mostly on weekends and holidays. During the week I am available for boarding, but I am at work full time on weekdays. I have a fenced in yard and a dog that loves to meet new friends! I have extra crates and toys if needed. I can follow your dog's schedule and spend time with them to make them feel comfortable.

“Would definitely leave Rex with Alyssa again. She worked with our schedule ( even as she was packing for a family trip the next day). When we arrived to pick Rex up, he was outside with Alyssa- looked very happy to be “helping” !”


About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of dogs since I was a young child. Neighbors, family and friends have all asked me to pet sit! I now have a 2 year old rescue name Genny! She is very sweet, a big girl at 95lbs but extremely submissive in all situations! She would love a play mate and extra walks! Work from home M-F. On my lunch we always take a walk usually about 2 miles and Genny get plenty of potty breaks and outdoors time! I can follow any type of specific feeding plan and can ensure walks and outdoor time are a focus! I love dogs and would want to make sure your pet was taken care of they way I would want Genny to be!

About: Hi, I’m Grace! I love animals and have years of experience caring for pets. I treat every pet like my own, giving them lots of love and attention. You can count on me to keep your fur babies happy and safe while you’re away! Pet care is truly a part of my everyday life. Since I work from home, I’m available throughout the day to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. My routine is centered around making sure they are happy and healthy. We start the day with a morning walk, if you prefer that, where they can get plenty of exercise. Throughout the day, I ensure they have a mix of playtime, feeding, and rest, always keeping an eye on their well-being. I am home 90% of the time besides when I leave to go to the gym, not leaving more than an hour or two tops! In addition to outdoor adventures, my home offers a spacious, backyard where pets can run and play safely. I believe in creating a comfortable and engaging environment, so your pets will feel like they are part of the family. Whether it's a quick visit, daily check-ins, or overnight stays, I am dedicated to providing a loving and secure experience for your furry friends. I start my day early, around 6 AM, to let the pets out and ensure they get a good start to their day. I stay up until around 10 PM, making sure they are comfortable and settled in for the night. You can rest assured that with me, your pets are in caring and capable hands, enjoying a routine filled with love, activity, and safety.

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!

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.

Let me know what you prefer and we will make it work in order to let your pet be as comfortable as possible!
