Our Maisey LOVED her time with Makenna and Ming. They were very responsive when I wanted to book with them and answered my questions quickly. You can tell that they really love their own dogs and really provide a safe and nurturing environment for all the puppies in their care. Thanks for taking such good care of Maisey!

We had a great experience with Nita! She is reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our puppy like he was her own. She followed all of our instructions closely, from feeding schedule and short training sessions to monitoring him during chew time, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Our puppy is still learning (especially with potty training and walks), and she was patient and attentive the entire time. We also appreciated the updates and pictures while we were away. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, especially when they’re still young and unvaccinated, but she made the whole process stress-free. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, caring dog care.

About: I started my journey working at a doggy care, interacting, playing with, care the dogs. For the last couple years, I have been at the animal shelter. I have experience in emergency medical care for both cats and dogs. Your pet will be safe with me, in every way. I can give you peace of mind. I am a stay-at-home mom, I am home and available to meet the needs of pets with all different schedules. I am constantly in the mode of enrichment. I deal with each animal in the unique way they need. I have one dog that is not kenneled, while my youngest is when she is going to be left alone for a couple hours. I have a wonderfully structured house that has allowed to me to keep dogs separate when needed and need constant supervision.

About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.

About: I’ve had a family dog since my sister brought home our first pet a dashound puppy. In the following years I’ve had 7 more dogs to love and care for. I now have a little Cairn Terrier mix who adores other dogs and is very gentle. I will make sure your pet is safe and well cared for in my home. He/she will be fed, walked, etc. according to your instructions. I never worry about accidents. We will walk outside weather permitting and/or just hang out with plenty of cuddles and fun. I will contact you as many times as you want during the time your pet is with me. I can administer meds if needed. I am a retired teacher and I’m home most days and evenings for drop in care or overnight care. I will follow all instructions you have and you may contact me any time of the day or night. I will make sure your pet feels safe and cared for with as many potty breaks as needed. Your pet will be fed & watered on the schedule you have at home. I have many toys available or you can bring your own. Treats provided at your instruction. Exercise and walks given once a day. I'm a retired teacher so I'm home day and night unless for errands. I watch Dog TV and other dog shows if your pet enjoys that. If I walk the pet I will need a good leash & collar. Also my home is pet proofed meaning nothing is on the floor or counter that they could get into.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats of my own, my families dogs/cats and friends dogs since I was a kid. I have experience in young and old dogs/cats. One of my dogs required a lot of medical care that I was able to provide in the comfort of our own home! I work full time for the fire department, working 24 hour shifts and my schedule rotates. I will not watch your animals while I’m working. When I am not working and I’m watching your animal, there will be lots of play time, outside time, walks and cuddling! I own my home with a fenced in privacy fence. I live with a roommate and we split the house using upstairs and downstairs. Upstairs is where I live to have direct access to the backyard; I do have a friendly dog in the home that loves to meet new friends! If needed, my dog will stay at my families house if the animals cannot be together. Downstairs is separated but there is a nice, pleasant, playful cat there. There would be no interaction between the animals due to being separated.
