“Amanda was kind, a true pet lover, and very timely. She was patient with my cat who is a little more timid, and seemed to bond with the more spunky one! She opened the door and let them on our porch for fresh air, just as I had recommended. Amanda sent great updates on the app and I loved the photos. It seems like she cared and wanted them to be comfortable. Thank you, Amanda!”

Doggies can be so energetic but that’s the fun part. I’m currently working overnights (10pm/6am). And my mornings/ evenings are pretty flexible. The only days I wouldn’t be able to be free is on Tuesdays evening. At my apartment building we have a fenced yard made for pets if needed. Otherwise my apartment is pet free and your pet is safe.

“Brittany was wonderful with Dixie, making sure she was using the litter box! She'd check for poops and pees, because Dixie's on medication for both issues. She would contact me regularly with texts and pictures! I could see Dixie playing with the laser red dot and other toys! When I arrived home, it was clear that Dixie had been well taken care of! Brittany is a professional! I would recommend Brittany! And I'd hire her again! Thank you, Lynne”

About: I have great knowledge of dogs, having been a German Sheperd dog owner myself for decades. I've also had many years of training dogs. I also understand aging dogs. I am retired and a widow. I am active in many projects but have an extremely flexible schedule. Can make my schedule fit yours which can include early mornings or late evenings. I have a fenced in back yard and currently no animals reside with me. I can do care in my home or yours whatever your preference.
About: I have three golden retrievers ranging from one year to ten years old. I have about an acre where they enjoy to roam with an underground fence. I am in close contact with my vet clinic to stay on top of the care of my 9 pets (6 cats and 3 dogs). The goldens have different medications and diets I tend to. I allow the dogs into the mudroom inside my home for a cool place to lounge that they are free to come and go with a doggie door. Additionally, I have a large kennel in the garage and an extra large kennel outside with a roof. Working from home allows me to provide consistent, attentive care for pets. I start the day with feeding, give medications as needed, and a quick health check for each of our furry friends. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks to check on the pets and ensure everyone has fresh water and a cozy spot to relax. My flexible schedule means I can adjust feeding times and offer plenty of attention and care. Although boarding at my home might be easiest for my schedule, I am open to drop in visits and walks as I know it's nice to keep your pets at home when you are away with someone reliable to care for them. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. In my home, I provide a secure environment with an acre of underground fenced space for dogs to roam freely. Inside, pets have access to a mudroom with a doggie door, offering a safe, cool place to lounge. I also have a large kennel in the garage and an extra-large kennel outside with a roof if needed. With my work-from-home schedule, I’m available throughout the day to monitor and care for pets. I am flexible with options when it comes to boarding your animal at home. Send me a message and I can help accommodate you and your pet(s) needs.

Jennifer T.
“Hello, my name is Eufraisa Tecuapetla. My sister Jennifer has helped me over the last three years in taking care of my boy Chapo. Chapo is a Rottweiler mixed with Lab and he can be a handful. But Jennifer has done a great job in keeping me stress free by making sure he is well fed, well groomed, safe and loved. She is a very generous and life saver, there was a couple of times where I had to come him extremely late from work but she kept Chapo in her home safe until I could be with him. Another time would be when my dog had a terrible ear infection and she took the time to take him to the vet and made sure he could get better. I would highly recommend her with taking care of your little fur baby! Thanks!”
