“Izzy is completely trustworthy, reliable, and caring. She gave my dog (and surprise cat), lots of attention and affection. She even worked on some dog training in my absence, which was totally unexpected. I will absolutely ask for her help again .”

HelIo fellow pet parents, I'm Nikki. I worked at a PetsHotel where I provided care to the pets for almost 3 years (walking, feeding, and medicating). I also am a pet owner of three dogs! I am comfortable providing care to pets with special needs. My dog is deaf so we use sign language with her. I'm a regular volunteer at DACC. I foster dogs through local rescues and currently have a medical recuse dog. Lastly, I also have the supplies to bathe (and velocity dry) and clip/grind nails. Baths are only offered to dogs with a short coat (not breeds that have long or thick hair that could get matted-ex: huskies). I work longer days during the week but have weekend availability. I'm willing to make accommodations for boarding pets. Message me for additional questions you may have. I will follow any rules and routines that you have created in regards to caring for your pet. As for my home, I have a fenced in yard.

About: Located in MONROE Hi, I grew up in a home that did dog boarding, I've literally been around this my whole life. I Foster rescue dogs. I can potty train, teach tricks, work on leash skills and door manners. I have toys treats and a big yard. My house is near the lake and we take them for walks multiple times a day. My neighbors are dog trainers or fellow pet lovers. If you need a safe place to keep your pup during work or over vacation we might be the right fit for you. I have an adopted Pitbull who is literally the friendliest dog in the entire world and great with other dogs. If your dog needs to be the only dog around our home might not be ideal. Just being honest. I want us both to have the best experience possible. Meet and greets are amazing to make sure we are on the same page and to make sure all parties involved get along as well. We only offer dog walks and drop ins locally as it's to costly to do that outside of the immediate area. If outside of the Monroe are please advise. My husband and I are both not working. We have all the free time to spend with your pet that you could want. We could do holidays weekends overnights. If there is something you'd like me to work on with your pup let me know! I have a large fenced in back yard in a dog friendly beach community. We take our dog on morning and evening walks with the addition of play time in the yard or inside if it's raining. We have treats toys and space to relax. I have toys for multiple chewing needs - super chewers or tiny nibbles. I have lots of free time and just want to help where I can.
About: I’ve been a shelter volunteer for 5 years, working closely with the dogs most people struggle with the reactive ones, the jumpy ones, the bitey ones, the over-stimulated ones, and the dogs that need real structure and patience to thrive I’m used to reading body language fast and staying calm no matter what’s in front of me. Whether it’s leash pulling, overexcitement, reactivity, or lack of focus. Maybe your dog just needs more work on learning commands and learning obedience I can do that to! let me know what I can do to best help you and your dog I would love to help Pet care is already a major part of my daily and weekly routine. I have 8 birds at home and On top of that, I volunteer at an animal shelter 2–4 days a week, where I work hands on with a wide range of dogs especially high energy dogs and dogs that need extra structure and patience. That experience keeps me consistently involved in reading behavior, handling different temperaments, and staying calm in all situations. When I’m not at the shelter, I plan my schedule around Rover bookings like walks, drop-ins, and training. I make sure each visit has enough time and attention When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routine that you provide so the pet stays comfortable and consistent in their environment

We can travel anywhere & they’ll be my little helpers throughout the week! I have a fenced in yard, leash’s, 2 amazing helpers who love animals just as much as i do!

About: I’m all about animals and have a genuine love for them. I would love to spend time and care for them! I have two dogs of my own, I had two cats but they both recently passed three months apart, 15 and 17 years old..❤️ I am happy they lived a long good life though :) I’ve been around animals my whole life and they are my everything. One day I hope to have my own dog/cat farm :) I will actually take the time to sit down and cuddle with pets, not just give them a bone and leave them outside etc. I’ll take the time to play with them and make sure they well taken care of along with being attentive to them! I have a consistent daily routine that allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m available before and after work, as well as weekends, and I’m flexible when needed. I don’t just stop in and leave—I make sure each visit includes quality time, attention, and interaction so pets feel cared for, not just checked on. I create a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. Beyond that, I make sure pets feel safe emotionally too—offering affection, reassurance, and attention so they’re not just alone waiting for their owner to return. I always keep a close eye on pets and avoid any unsafe situations.
