About: I love dogs! I've been fostering dogs with The Bond Between, formerly Secondhand Hounds, for over 5 years. I used to have 2 of my own, a Miniature Poodle and a Shih Tzu, but they both died in June of 2019, one week apart. They were both 15 years old. Ever since then I've been fostering and it's the most rewarding thing I've ever done. Through fostering I've received obedience training and learned numerous tips and tricks for helping dogs to be successful and to find their forever home. I've learned about leash reactivity and how to avoid it, how to do loose leash walking to avoid pulling, and how important it is to keep them looking to me for direction. I've worked with shy, fearful dogs as well as easy going "I love everybody" dogs. Play time and cuddle time are my favorite things about being with dogs. My own personal preference is to let dogs on the couch with me and sleep in my bed at night. But I've done a bit of dog sitting for former foster dogs and fully respect the new owners’ expectations and boundaries. My goal is to do what makes you and your dog happy. I live alone in a townhouse so there are only my foster dogs and no children in the mix. I have a small front yard so all outside time will be on a leash and/or on a walk. I can't wait to meet your dog! NOTE: My 10% rating for sending photos is a bit misleading because I send them to personal cell phone numbers for convenience, therefore they don’t get tracked. But 100% of my clients receive photos and videos multiple times per day. I'm currently working a full time job from home, so I can attend to your dog's needs throughout the day and my break times are very flexible. I'm pretty much a home body, enjoying as much dog time as I can get! My house is set up for dogs more than people! I have area rugs down for senior dogs that have a hard time walking on a smooth surface. I have a small gated pen set up for separating dogs during feeding times and I gate off the stairs to go upstairs unless I'm up there with the dogs. I also have 2 crates with the doors open if a dog wants their own small safe space. I supervise all eating times and always put dogs on a leash when outside. I have multiple dog beds and comfy sleeping spots throughout my house.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was in college, from puppies to senior dogs. I give their owners peace of mind with regular check ins and updates with how their pet is, while making sure the dogs are happy with lots of walks and playtime. You can be sure that I will be more than just a sitter and show your pet all the love and care it deserves. During the summer, I only work part time, leaving lots of time to care for your pets. I’m very active, so if your pet is too, we will be a great match. As a teacher during the school year, I am usually available in the afternoons and overnight, as well as all weekends for the same level of care. I will work with you to provide the routines and care you would like while watching your pet. I make sure to clean any messes that may occur while watching your dog. I am used to both creating and leaving dogs to roam throughout the space, so what you want is what you will get.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. Neighbors rely on me to talk, feed and play with pets when they are gone and always happy to help! I currently have a pretty flexible schedule to look in on your pets and walk, feed, play or stay as a drop in or overnight at your home to dog or cat sit. I will keep your fur baby safe in your home by keeping in a fenced in yard and follow your directions on if they tend to need any extra care.

About: I started pet sitting in 2019 when I handed out flyers advertising myself to my friends, family, and neighbors. Since then I have gained years of experience with not only cats and dogs but a large variety of other pets as well. I am currently in school pursuing the career as a veterinary technician, so animals play a large role in my life. I am skilled in caring for animals of any age, I’ve trained/raised puppies and cared for senior dogs. I’m comfortable giving any needed medications/treatments or extra care that your furry friend needs. I’m currently in school Monday-Wednesday & Friday. My longest classes are on Tuesday and Wednesday and they average about 4 hours each class time. I am also in the process of getting a part time job so hours may vary in the future. I have experience is housesitting along with pet sitting! I will leave your home clean and well taken care of and your pets loved and entertained throughout the whole visit!
“Ally is absolutely wonderful! Lola is a pill with other people but Ally made her feel comfortable and more importantly we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation!”
“Rylee did an absolute phenomenal job! She took care of our babies and exceeded our expectations! 10/10 would recommend as she goes above and beyond!”

“Laura provided exceptional care for my cat, AnnaBelle, during my recent time away. Her communication was outstanding; she promptly responded to all my questions, which gave me great peace of mind. Beyond meeting AnnaBelle’s physical needs, Laura ensured her emotional well-being, engaging her in activities that kept her content and stimulated. I highly recommend Laura to any pet owner seeking a compassionate and reliable caregiver.”
“Thank you again Courtney! Sorry it took us a bit to review and tip, we all came down with Covid after our trip. 😭 But our kitties (and fish!) are happy and healthy and we are so glad they got such great care while we were gone. Thank you!!”
About: I have owned my own pups and gone through all the stages, puppy to senior, and all the joys they bring. There is nothing like the love they bring to your life. I am currently retired from my full time position giving me all the time needed to devote to your pups and their needs. This is the preferred way of spending my day. I care for all pups in my home like I did when I had or have children in my home. They are no less important to me than little humans.
