About: I have been around dogs my entire life - and love it! My job had me moving around a lot and not feasible to have a dog of my own - so I decided to live vicariously through those around me 😊 I became the go-to dog sitter for all of my family, friends, and coworkers and took advantage of being able to love on their babies. I treat all my fur friends like they are part of my family and ensure they are treated like royalty - whether that’s going on walks, playing in the backyard, or snuggling on the couch getting belly rubs 🐶 I have experience taking care of dogs of all types and sizes - energetic, the couch potato, the grumpy and sassy, and so much more! I’m currently working part time so have plenty of availability to help take care of your dogs and give them plenty of love and attention! I am happy to take my fur friend on a walk, play in the backyard, give scratches on the couch, etc. Just let me know what is needed I will make it happen!
About: I’ve had dozens of different animals since I was young. Ranging from farm animals, domestic animals, parrots and reptiles. Medication administration experience and bottle feeding as well. I am home full time aside from errands with my little ones. I have a mini farm as I call it. Dogs, chickens, cats, ducks and more. I am outside majority of the day. I do not have a fenced yard. I have a very long gravel driveway away from the road. I have leads, collars, harnesses and cages if needed. I have baby gates in home if needed as well. In home crates if needed. I have a dog that can keep your fur baby company. Our oldest cat goes outside a lot so he’s usually busy all day but our kitten loves to play with everyone! My dog is not fixed but my cats are. Un neutered males will either be supervised or separated. All love other animals.
“Rissa has been nothing short of amazing with my dogs. She spent plenty of time with the dogs and made sure they got lots of love and attention. I also felt reassured having her as a walker with all the constant updates and pics. She also managed to get our dogs to walk better then they ever have. We will absolutely be using her again”
“Audrey is wonderful with my French bull dog. She’s very sweet and cares for her when I’m working. She’s very flexible with my crazy work schedule as a nurse.Would highly recommend her for anyone in need for care of their pet! ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, and recently gained experience caring for cats, birds and rabbits. I have also spent some free time volunteering in animal shelters so I am comfortable with all animal sizes. I hope to care for your fur baby soon! I currently work remotely full time which allows me to spend time with pets who are in need of boarding. Because of my time at home, pets will receive lots of attention and care. I have a fenced yard and two dogs who are fully vaccinated and enjoy playing with others. One is an American foxhound and the other is a great dane
About: I am a very caring person who loves all animals. I have raised dogs since I was 10 years old and have also helped raise my sister’s cats. I love to give all pets the love and attention they deserve. I can house sit, walk, check in, bathe, or whatever you may need to help care for your pet. I work from home most of the time so I can be flexible to you and your fur baby’s needs. I have raised dogs of pretty much any size so no dog scares me. I can’t wait to meet your sweet pets! I work from home 3-4 days a week so I am pretty flexible when it comes to taking care of your pet. I can work weekdays or weekends, days or nights. I take care of pets by trying to give them the same love and attention as they would get from you. I try to make them feel comfortable and right at home as much as possible.
About: Hello, I am Ang, a passionate and caring pet lover who has been a proud dog owner for over 15 years. With a spacious yard and plenty of play space, Our home is the perfect destination for dogs who need a comfortable and loving place to stay while their owners are away. We are a family that works from home so you can expect round the clock care for your pup. As a lover of travel, I understand how difficult it is to find quick, affordable care for my dogs. I am hoping to provide that service to those in the community that can relate. As a beginner Rover, I am excited to open my home to new furry friends and provide them with the same level of care and attention that I give to my own dogs. I am committed to making sure each dog in their care feels comfortable and happy, whether it's through long walks, extra snuggles, or just spending time together in the yard. I understand that every dog has unique needs and preferences, and I am dedicated to creating a tailored experience for each pup we take care of. With years of experience as a dog owner, I have developed a keen sense of how to provide a safe and nurturing environment for dogs of all ages and sizes. When you leave your dog with us, you can rest assured that they will be in good hands and receive all the love and care they deserve. Book your pup's stay today and give them a home away from home! Here's a sample schedule for caring for dogs during our dog boarding: 7:30 AM - Wake Up, Potty break, and food time! 8:30 AM - Free playtime in the yard and indoors 10:00 AM - Snack time and rest period 12:00 PM - Afternoon walk/playtime 1:30 PM - Free playtime in the yard 3:00 PM - Snack time and rest period 5:00 PM - Evening walk/playtime 6:30 PM - Dinner time and give any necessary medications 7:00 PM - Free playtime in the yard or indoors 8:00 PM - Wind down for the night and relax inside 9:00 PM - Final potty break before bed 10:00 PM - Lights out and good night! Of course, this schedule can be adjusted to meet the specific needs and routines of the dogs in your care. It's important to prioritize their physical exercise and mental stimulation, while also providing ample rest periods throughout the day. Additionally, feeding times and any medication schedules should be strictly adhered to. By following a consistent and structured schedule, we can help ensure that the dogs in your care feel safe, happy, and well-cared for during their stay. I have a fenced-in backyard and a large field for playing fetch in my development. I have a dog run that is cleaned regularly for potty breaks, and the main grass is reserved for play. We have one child who is 8 and very familiar with dogs as he has had 3 dogs since he was born. We recently lost our pug of 11 years and are looking forward to inviting new pup guests into our loving home. We are avid animal lovers and can be found regularly hanging out at local farms playing with goats, taking our youngest lab out for walks, frisbee, and hanging out at the river when the weather is warm. Hope to book with you soon :)
About: Hi! I grew up with German Shorthaired Pointers, so dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and my heart. I know that our pups aren’t just pets, they’re family, and I treat every dog I care for with that same love and respect. Whether your dog loves a good game of fetch, long walks, car rides for a treat, or just curling up for a cuddle session, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and totally loved while you’re away. Big or small, high energy or laid-back, your dog is in great hands with me! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule so that makes drop-ins, walks, and stays much easier for me. I do not mind same day scheduling or cancellation I prefer to go to the clients home, as I have two kittens that have not met any dogs and no fenced in yard for safety.
About: I have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I enjoy walks and often times will outwalk my little dog so a new friend to pick up the pace would be perfect! I have worked remotely for almost 5 years now and take optimal breaks throughout the day to prevent burnout. I myself have a little dog so of course she is taken care of daily. For those who are comfortable dropping their dogs at my home, we will treat your dog as we do ours. Reese goes outside in our fenced in yard several times a day, plays fetch, and sleeps in our bed at night.
About: I've grown up around pets my whole life; dogs, cats, fish, even chickens! I can't imagine not being around them! Before I went to college I could dog sit for some of my mom coworkers during the summer. I would take them for walks, play with them, stay over night with them, anything I was asked of. I enjoy being around animals, they bring me joy and boost my serotonin. I promise I will love and care your pet(s) like they are my own! I am currently working a couple of odd jobs over the summer. I am a college athlete and have three volleyball camps to help run this summer. They are all out of town so I will not be available those weeks. I am also an Orientation Leader for my college. It's only for a week in June. It will take up most of the day but I do have times to come check on your animals! Other than that most of my days are free to have plenty of time to play and love on the babies! I am a very active person so I would love to take your dog(s) on walks. Maybe even take them to the park, if that is okay. If you have a yard I'll play with them there as well! I love getting their energy out and then just chilling and cuddling with them to make sure they feel loved.
“Christy did a great job with our pup Lucy taking her for a walk. She provided lots of pictures (and got some great shots!) And a full review of their time together. Would definitely book Christy again. Thanks so much!”

She also LOVES animals, of all kinds and will give your pet the affection and attention they deserve while you are gone ! Mikayka has demonstrated reliability and accountability - I trust her with our fur babies who we love like the kids/family members they are!!”
