About: I take care of my neighbors dogs, friends cats, my best friends bring their dogs over and we all walk together. All of our animals were rescued. I am not working over the summer so I am very flexible during the day to help take care of animals when needed/ walking/ letting them out to use the bathroom. I walk the dogs on leashes, I only let them out when there is a fenced in area. I have a fenced in yard at home, that my dog goes out and plays in.
About: I have always had a pet in my life since the moment I was born. I have worked at an emergency animal hospital. I currently work from home which means I will always be available to take care of your pet. I currently have a 9 year-old puggle, Buddy who was rehomed to me and he takes medication every day. I work from home so this means I will always be available for your pet! I typically take my dog out for a brief walk and every four hours until I clock out of work then I live right across from the park so that's where we go. I would love to give your fur baby my undivided attention and take them to the park for lots of exercise! My Buddy is my entire world and I know that your fur baby is too so your pet will only get the best care. Want pictures of your pet on a daily basis? No problem! Daily updates? Of course! If your fur baby is on medication then they will get the medication on time and as directed!
About: I offer reliable and loving care for your pets while you’re away or at work. Whether you’re going on vacation or just need a little help. I ensure that your furry family will be comfortable, safe, and happy in the comfort of my home, or yours. My services include daily walks and exercise to keep your pets active and healthy, feeding and administering medications if needed, playtime and companionship, regular updates and photos so you can relax and focus on what you’re doing. I treat each pet like family. I’m dedicated to making sure your pets routine stays normal as possible and they feel loved in your absence. Feel free to contact me for more information or to book a meet and greet. I had my soul dog for 21 years and my soul cat for 18 years so I get that pets are true family. I currently work remote in the financial industry for the last five years so I have the flexibility for visits to check in, walks throughout the day, and also with notice I can provide boarding which will be one client at a time. I also have plenty experience with cats. There are no current pets at my home so I can provide undivided attention. I live in a spacious, well kept condo, and there is plenty of room for furry friends and there are no other pets living here at this time.
“She is so patient and caring, I had to scheduled an emergency walk because my dog was left alone by a family member that was supposed to stay with him, he met her for the first time without me being home and she patiently tried to warm him up, he is too territorial but she let him in the back yard and he used the bathroom. I cannot thank her enough !”
About: I love all dogs! They are all so funny, each with their own fun personalities. I love to go for walks with the dogs, sometimes 2 at a time! When your pup is in my care my focus is on keeping them safe and happy! I am retired from working so I like to say that I am a stay at home dog Mom! When I am watching your dog, there is nothing more important to me than your fur baby’s safety and happiness. Since I am home full time I am available for your pup 24/7! I do occasionally leave the house but usually not longer than an hour or two. I have a large fenced in yard and a sweet, fun 2 year old Lab mix who loves to play with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have a 5 month old grand puppy and Reba loves playing with her!
About: My husband and I grew up with dogs and have loved and cared for many over the years including our first doggy child, Molly. She has since crossed the rainbow bridge and although we’re not quite ready yet for a new dog, we’re happy to share our built up puppy love to provide a safe and loving environment while you’re away. At our home, all dogs become part of our family and I will reinforce any behaviors you maintain in your own home. But if your pet is used to couch cuddles they’ll get the same thing here! They’ll have all of the love and comforts of home that cannot be matched by any traditional boarding place, while receiving personal attention as they’re in space where they’ll be the only dog. It’s a change for your dog to go from one home to a new one. However, I find that having a home with no personal pets and no other boarders helps to ease the transition and get them acclimated quickly. I work from home full time so your pet would have nearly 24/7 care. It makes me so happy to be able to spend my workday with a fuzzy friend! You’d be aware of all times where I wouldn’t be home but this typically does not exceed 2 hours. When the weather is nice, the family and I try to be out as much as possible and will always bring your dog along for the fun! I enjoy getting out for walks several times a day to stretch out my legs after extensive periods behind a desk. If your dog is up for it, then I’m happy to get to bring them on my walks! I have a large, fenced yard with a designated “potty” area. There are no other pets in the home so even the most anti social of pups are welcomed here. Since I work from home, I’m able to accommodate almost any feeding, medication or bathroom schedule and provide lots of cuddles! I care about the safety and wellness of your pet above all else and have been certified in pet CPR and first aid. If your dog will be joining us in the car, I have a harness for their safety while traveling.
