About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child and today care for two cats daily. My calm nature allows pets to trust me. I find so much joy being around animals and feel so calm and at ease around them. I work part-time so I have lots of free time to help give your pets the best life possible! I am mostly free during the weekdays and some evenings. I also will have varying Sunday availability. At this time I will not be able to bring any pets into my home but I am comfortable spending time with your pet in your home. I love long walks with your pups and trips to nearby dog parks.
“Lana is Great with my puppy Frankie. He’s strong and can be a bit of a puller. Lana has no problems handling him. I get updates and pictures of my boy. I can also count on her if I need an extra walk. -Amanda”

About: I’ve grown up with Beagles and work well with all breeds and ages. I strongly believe that every dog deserves a day out on the town (or maybe just a walk around it). I’m free most weekends and various times during the day. I can do early mornings or late nights, happy to spend time with any dog throughout the day. I knock and ring the doorbell always first, just so the dogs know I’m coming (if they don’t already), walk in, greet everyone and wish the dogs a good morning, feed and water them, then let them have their breakfast and take them on a walk afterwards, always making sure to clean up after them when I first get there and definitely before I leave.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 7 years old. Growing up, I had four dogs at once as family pets. My siblings and I were responsible for taking care of them. Their breeds ranged from English Mastiff, to Great Dane, to Jack Russell Terrier. I especially helped take care of them towards the end of their lives, where care is more challenging. They have since passed, and I now have a 3 year old Lab of my own. Neighbors and family members have always relied on me to take care of their pets while away, and the dogs have always taken a liking to me. I pride myself on having experience with a wide range of breeds and sizes. I promise you’ll dog will be in good hands, as I know the unnerving feeling of leaving your pet with a stranger. As a teacher, I thankfully have the entire summer off. I’m available morning, day, night, and weekends! There is no time that is off limits. I will care for your dog however you request in your home, whether that be left out or crated. They will be walked or played with until their heart’s content!
