About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve volunteered with shelters and own three of my own for the last 10 years. I’m currently working from home and hoping to get out of the house for a bit by doing drop in visits or dog walks. I’m available to board dogs as well so long as any furry guest gets along with the dogs already in the house. I’m comfortable administering medication so long as instructions are given. I’m certified in canine CPR. Im happy to cater to the needs of your dog and follow any instructions you provide. As im working from home, im available nearly all the time except for a few virtual meetings during the week. Our normal routine is a short walk in the morning, they hang out with me while I work, maybe a walk or a game at lunch, more work from home, then free in the evening for movie nights/parks/bite to eat somewhere dog friendly. I have a fenced yard with a doggy door to the back. I have also converted my office into a dog room with space for extra crate if that’s what is preferred. Animals are allowed on furniture at the owners discretion. I recognize all owners do things a bit differently and I know how worrisome it can be to leave them with a stranger so I want to put your mind at ease by conforming my care to how you prefer.

“Sharon was sooooo good! She goes above and beyond to care for your pets and is so responsible and kind! Our elderly cat loved her and we felt very safe and secure with her coming into our home! She is very trustworthy and responsible. Will absolutely book her again!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and horses for the past twenty years. This includes my own horse along with my two German Shepherds. I will take great care of your pets, and I understand the importance of bringing continuity to their life while you are away. To me, this means that you can trust that the instructions you give me for their care will be followed exactly. I have taken care of all ages of pets and have no trouble administering medications, creams, or doing light grooming. I currently stay at home and am available almost anytime for drop in visits or to walk your pet at times that are most convenient for you. I will love on your pet like they're my own, but I will take care of them exactly how you want/expect. This is something very important to me with my own pets when needing pet care.

About: As a Cane Corso owner (x2), I’m used to big dogs with big personalities, but I love pups/animals of all shapes and sizes! Whether it’s a high-energy walk or a quick potty break and snuggles, I always treat your pet like my own. I understand how important trust and routine are, and I’ll make sure your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for every visit. I’m a teacher on summer break with open availability for walks and drop-in visits during the day, evenings, and weekends. Once the school year begins, I’ll be available for evening and weekend visits. I’m dependable, communicative, and will always work with you to make sure your pet gets the care they need! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During walks and drop-in visits, I stay alert to your pet’s behavior and surroundings, and I always follow your instructions closely — whether it’s feeding routines, meds, leash preferences, or crate time. I’ll make sure your home stays secure, your pet stays calm, and that you receive updates with every visit. As a fellow dog parent, I understand how important trust is when someone’s caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously.

About: I grew up with several different kinds of animals at home. My first job was at a pet store and I have continued to love caring for animals since then. I've taken care of friends and neighbors pets for several years. I am comfortable with any pet, as long as they have a good temperament. I am a fourth grade teacher, so my schedule is completely open in the summer. During the school year, my availability is mostly limited to weekends. At my home I have a fenced in backyard and two high energy dogs ( a Dutch Shepherd and a Corgi) who would love a buddy to play with. I also have three children, ages 8-15, who like to help take care of our furry friends. At your home you can expect your pet to be cared for just like you were there, whether they need to be walked or just let out and played with while you are away. Dogs must be crate trained for boarding or day care at my home. This allows me to make sure my pets and yours are safe when I leave the house.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to watch over their dogs while they were away. My whole family loves animals, and we currently have 3 dogs: a dachshund, a corgi, and a golden doodle. We take them everywhere with us! For the last decade, I have been working remotely, giving me the flexibility to drop by and attend to your dog. Whether it’s a walk, a quick check in, or some playtime, I’m available! I understand the challenges of balancing work away from home with pet ownership. That’s why a reliable person to keep your dog, engaged throughout the day is invaluable. There’s no greater joy than returning home to a happy and eagerly awaiting furry friend! I have 18 acres and a fenced-in back yard for my dogs. The golden Doodle (Cora Bell) loves everyone, the Dachshund (Dutton) loves to play, and the corgi (Waffles) will run the property until she tuckers out!

About: my family has had a dog for 11 years! I was the designated walker and always loved getting out with the pup and hitting the pavement in the mornings or after school. I work full time, so this is mostly just to get out and get some exercise in before or after I get off work for the day. on walks I am stern but never mean if a dog is misbehaving. I prefer leash trained dogs, of course, and love all types of animals :)
