About: I have 15 years of pet loving experience. I have past experience with bottle feeding anything from goats to puppies and kittens. I currently have two dogs and one cat. The dogs go for walks in the morning before work, and a walk after work accompanied with playing fetch for as long as my dog can. He decides when we go back inside since he has been inside all day. My other dog get belly rubs and kisses for as long as his brother is playing fetch. Once we go in, they flop on the floor and the cat then gets my undivided attention and a few treats. I like telling you about my day with my fur babies because it is exactly how I plan to treat yours. My Monday thru Friday work schedule is 5:00am till 3:30pm. I work full time and all pets will be left alone for eight to nine hours Monday through Friday. Please confirm that you understand that before booking. This is a hobby for me because I LOVE dogs, I will decline as necessary My yard is not fenced and I cannot accept flight risks. I have two dogs that love everyone and a cat that thinks he is in charge. If needed, I do reserve the right to crate any dog I deem necessary whether it’s yours or mine. Usually mine

About: Hi, I’m Kelly – a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m the proud dog mom of two senior pups—a sweet basset hound and a lively black and tan coonhound—and cat mom to two beloved senior cats, an American Shorthair and a Maine Coon. Caring for aging pets has given me a deep understanding of their unique needs, from administering medication to providing extra comfort and patience. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, mealtime routines, or just being a calming companion, you can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and fully dedicated to your pet’s well-being. Aside from caring for my own dogs and cats, I am fully available to help make sure your pets get the dedicated care that they need. I am available to care for your pets in your home where they are most comfortable. I do not have a fenced in yard so I currently do not provide in-home boarding.

“Andrea is the best! This is the second time she has dogsit for us. She always keeps in communication of how our pups are doing and sends numerous pics and videos. She takes wonderful care of our furbabies and we’re so glad to have found her!”


About: Hi, you are looking at a lifelong animal love who just quit her corporate job to love on dogs full time! 🥰 About me: active, healthy, woman in my mid 40s with lots of love to give. My mom raised maltese pups since I was a little kid. I raised my own mini dachshund since I was 18 who lived a full life until she crossed the rainbow bridge at 16.5 years old. I also had many cats and rescued a pup that wandered into our front yard. Dogs are MY life, so I happily welcomed Jaxie (mini dachshund) into my family in Feb '20. He is such a sweet boy - loves belly rubs, hunting lizards, and playing with all his furfriends. If you have a friendly pup who enjoys the company of another friendly pup, come on over! Your pup will have so much fun. Jaxie plays very nice (very submissive, is always on his back, even with chihuahuas) and loves to get chased and be chased. Jaxie is not food aggressive. And, he's not toy aggressive either - he loves sharing his many toys with his furfriends! Or, if your pup doesn’t want to play, Jaxie is great matching his energy level to other pups. We’ve had many older pups here where Jaxie leaves them alone out of respect. On the other hand, he’s also amazed pet parents by getting their older pups to play! My 24/7 job is to take care of your furbaby I'll be home with your furbaby all day, watching over them, snuggling them, and making sure they stay safe and enriched with playtime. We have lots of toys here! House is organized and clean at all times. My fiance is a firefighter who works 1 day on, 2 days off. As such, on his off days, he's home all day. We live at the end of a cul-de-sac in a very small and quiet neighborhood. Backyard is fully fenced and backs up to a creek. No neighbors in the back. Whenever your pup is in the backyard, I am always out there. Your pup is never unattended outside. Your fur baby can sleep and hangout where ever they want (couch, bed, dog beds). If your dog loves walks, we'll go on walks. If your dog has a sweet tooth, we'll get pup cups! Or, if your fur baby just wants to chill, we can do that too! I sync my energy level to your dog's energy level. I do not take any other dogs during the same time period as I am caring for your pup. I can do drop in visits or walks if you live fairly close to me. Finally, I am a good communicator (can't you tell by this dissertation; ha!) and will send updates and pics at least 3 times a day. If you want less, just let me know. :) My daily routine revolves around my own dog, so rest assured your dog will be treated like family, and will be given the same amount of care and attention; dogs are #1 in my household! When I take care of your furbaby, ensuring your furbaby is happy, fulfilled, and loved is my number #1 goal! We can do meet and greets via Zoom or at my house. Your call!
